For anyone who smokes marijuana, perhaps two of the most relevant questions that crop up are

1. Does marijuana cause panic attacks?

2. Can marijuana be used to prevent or cure panic attacks?

Marijuana just like alcohol acts differently in different people.

For some, it can soothe the nerves, calm the mind and help the user to relax; for others, it might work quite the other way, resulting in an increasing of heart beat, overwhelming feeling of anxiety, chest pain and more. Marijuana amplifies whatever feelings are deep in your sub conscious. If you are already happy and relaxed, it may accentuate these feelings. But if you are angry, scared and stressed it will accentuate these feelings as well. Hence marijuana should never be used as a panic attack treatment.

Marijuana essentially alters the chemistry of the brain, causing both long and short term side effects. Instead work on controlling the mind. You also have the mental power to calm your mind to let these thoughts go away and let your mind be at peace. Try things like meditation, yoga or behavioral therapies to gain control instead of becoming dependant on a drug.
