Since getting into weed, it's surprised me how little the anxiety-inducing effects of psychedelics are brought up. I tried smoking non-medicinal weed for the first time recently and was not prepared for the massive panic attack that I had when taking what would be considered a typical dose of THC (10mg). Psychedelics cause a very different kind of loss of control from what you get on alcohol that my mind just does not seem capable of handling.

I've probed other people about the anxiety and fear I experienced, and have since learned that it's actually a fairly common feeling that even experienced users get. However, it's just considered part of the trip and requires experience to understand how to manage it. I wish I could reach a tolerance level that would allow me to have a more reliably enjoyable psychedelic experience, because I feel like I'm missing out on something that so many others seem to get positive results from.

I'm definitely not suggesting that you continue to use it if you aren't getting good results. With that said, I would try taking at least a 1:1 dose of CBD with it, as well as starting at a very small THC dosage. You can always take more, but never less. When I used larger dosages, I had full blown panic attacks that mimicked the type I had on large doses of LSD. I enjoy using edibles from a legit shop, because I can tell exactly how many milligrams are in each one. I will commonly take a 5mg edible and divide it into thirds, and may take two thirds over the course of 5 to 6 hours.
