Not everyone has panic attacks, full stop.
When was the last time you went 48 hours without toking? Do you even know what baseline is anymore? Would you even know if you are living with elevated anxiety? Most people don't until it simply can't be ignored anymore.
It also matters how much you are toking. I can toke every day and if I keep it under about half a gram it never seems to catch up with me. But if I go two weeks toking two grams a day, I'm a wreck.
Anyway, we shouldn't put too much faith in our personal experiences when there are decades of data saying that it contributes to anxiety and (eventually) panic attacks.
lol ive never seen this data about panic attacks and anxiety. i go to the DR and therapist so im pretty sure im not living with elevated anxiety. and 48 hours is pretty easy to withhold. say if i go out of the country i dont smuggle weed in.
i think youre 100% on anecdotes. but i dont think we've had a lot of studies come out conclusively that say marijuana contributes to mental issues eventually
