So the other week my buddy stopped by and I packed one up for us. We smoked and minutes later he starts with this anxiety attack. This guy is usually pretty chilled out laid back and relaxed but he was clearly having some issue. Now I'm used to anxiety, as much as one can be I guess, but i start realizing my heart is pounding too. I'm thinking maybe it's like a contact high but with anxiety, maybe his reaction is making me freak out a bit on a subconscious level. So I feed him a half a xanax, and ate the other half myself. This is a prescription from my dr. Not really a fan of pills but sometimes they are a godsend.
So fast forward a couple weeks and my buddy and I smoke again, packed up one of those big cones, I'm sure you know the type. So we smoke that, he splits almost immediately after we smoke, come to find out it was another anxiety attack. At the same time heart racing again, sharp pains in the chest and all that for me.
Now at this point I still havent put 2 and 2 together but later we get to talking about the events that have transpired and he mentioned "maybe it's the weed bro" so I start thinking to myself and replaying the past couple of months and how much anxiety I've had recently, I usually only go through the prescription every 3 months or so sometimes longer. My rate of consumption had nearly doubled. So why? How could my beloved Mary Jane do this to me after so many years? Oh and btw just to be sure it was the reefer I did my own set of tests to see if there was any validity to his theory. I'd have to say there was, now that I knew what I was looking for it was easily noticed.
As a "control" I went to a different vendor and picked up a sample, it was great. No issues what so ever.
I waited for a nice calm morning with nothing going on, smoked a couple of hits and waited... Boom racing heart chest pain (for me this is how anxiety presents I can stifle the mental side of it)
So I start sifting through the ether of the internet to try and figure out how this happens. I'm of the opinion it has to do with the maturity of trichomes. Before I came to this conclusion and after the panic and anxiety I tore a bud apart and threw it under the microscope. I would say 80 to 90 percent clear trichomes some cloudy ones peppered in here and there but that's it. Now by this point I had already smoked most of the ounce i had but haven't smoked any more of that weed since.
I got the bud from a buddy of mine who grows and has been doing so since the mid 80s I think. And I've got decent flower from him before just not this time.
So the question is can harvesting early produce unwanted effects ie anxiety paranoia racing heart etc.?
Or
Might this be bad genetics?
@Aqua Man @beluga @AnselAdams @Badchoice @Milson what do you guys think?
Any articles you could recommend that would shed light on my theories?
