      I’ve never gotten it from weed but my friend has. It was pretty wild. I had no idea what to do, or even that it was a panic attack.

      At first I just tried calmly talking about my own first experiences with weed, but it quickly became obvious it was serious so I told him we should go get some water, mainly just to get him away from our group of friends and somewhere quiet. But afterwards what he told me really helped was just having something to focus on and a goal to accomplish (the water).

        Having someone like you there is a huge help. I have found that doing some physical activity can help by putting my consciousness in my body rather than my mind. I’ve never tried this, but I’ve heard that chewing on peppercorns can help. Xanax will also definitely help!
