Last night my best friend had to go to the emergency room. We smoked weed and she had some weird panic attack thing. I don't know exactly what it was because even though I went with her to the er (not as a patient) the doctors didnt know what was happening to her. We only smoked one joint and we've been smoking weed for about three and a half years. Right after smoking she said she couldnt breathe and at the er her heart rate was at 172. She couldnt stop shaking and at times she was completely unresponsive. I know it wasnt something laced in the weed because I felt normal...well I was high but I wasnt going through what she was. It all just freaked me out and I have decided to quit smoking weed. I dont think it could be that hard because there are no physical needs for weed. But I am really scared about quiting because I just realized, I dont know how to have fun without weed anymore. I feel pretty pathetic considering it took something like this to happen to my friend to make me feel the need to quit. I know Im just rambleing on...but I just needed to get all that out.

Please don't feel pathetic...your realization came at a much smaller cost than it could have...

I hope your freind comes to a similar decision..

And about having fun...well.... being high..its like swimming fully clothed.....its so much better when your skin is against the water and under the sun...Try it...you'll like it...

IMHO.

i felt compelled to reply to this and we each will make our own choices... i have friends who smoke weed medically... it helps them.. im thinking of getting a license myself where it is legal in my state for medical reasons.... it seems that it has many health benefits such as the ability to relax and calm... certainly doing the relaxation without the weed is something that would help them further... i spose in some way we all are trying to get high... the best way is harmlessly tho... i dont think people are violent on pot like some other substances or medications, and i know there is a lot to consider here but, for me, natural is best ...
