Hi, Thanks for this query. Based on your description, you seem to be suffering from cannabis (weed/marijuana) induced panic attacks. These usually happen after sudden increase/decrease in cannabis quantity or sudden change in potency of the used cannabis or even due to impurities. As cannabis is stored in body fat & tends to get cleared in 3-4weeks (depending upon type of product used); these attacks may persist for 3-4 weeks even after stopping cannabis smoking. I will advice you to consult a Psychiatrist for medications which would prevent these episodes & also strongly advice you to consider stopping cannabis smoking. Good luck
