Found myself in a pretty terrible place mental health wise for a few years. Every day after work was 20-60mg edibles, a bowl or three, and vaping. I did this with some incredibly toxic people.

I'm back on track with my life now and only smoke occasionally. But now when I get high I just fucking panic. I'm talking one single joint and I'm in full blown stoned panic. It's not eating junk food and laughing at stupid movies any more. It's being terrified that everyone hates me and that I'm wasting my life and stressing about climate change the increasingly fascist government. I literally cannot relax when I'm high any more.

Is this a thing that happens? How do I go back to a happy high?

I agree w the other posters. Might be a good time to step back from da bud & take some time to assess & address the root cause of those panic attacks. I’m moving on to the next chapter orb my life & find that I needed to do it sober in order to make any type of significant progress. While I miss drinking & drugs every damn day, it’s not really worth it right now. Once I complete that next phase & get to a better place, I’m definitely gonna partake again, but need to learn some restraint first.

Hope you get it sorted & good luck 🍀
