hi sir/mam,I appreciate your bold confession.any how,let me tell you 1 thing,marijuana or any other drugs may be temporary pacifiers but are permanent killers of both mental and physical health.i know, more than this,I shouldn’t advise you in this aspect.let me make you clear about marijuana:
1)mostly,prolonged usage causes severe anxiety with panic like attacks.as you have mentioned first time usage,it might be a hypersensitivity or idiosyncrasy.
2)when consumed with fatty diet,inhaled,the absorption of it is maximum and may stay up to 1week in fatty tissues.but symptoms or effects usually won’t last for >24hrs in first time users.
3)a physician/psychiatrist consultation can’t be overlooked as you have been suffering from panic attack for the past 2 days.
I wish all your symptoms disappear and also not even a thought of illicit drugs comes in your mind.yoga and meditation are scientifically proven relaxation techniques for both body and mind.
other health issues,please let me know as it’s my pleasure to deal and be of any help to you.thank you.take care.bye.
