Hi.


I had gone through your query.

Panic attack is due to hyper sympathetic dischrage or autonomic hyperactivity mainly occur due to cannabis intoxication.

Marijuana contain cannabis and tetrahydrocannabiol is active metabolite which are responsible for this reaction.

It will gradually decrease by time in next 48 hours.All active metabolite will excrete from body within 72 hours.

If you have persist symptoms then need to consult physician for detail evaluation.

Consult and get help.

I hope i have answered your query.

Thank you.
