Okay so I just found this on YouTube and I know this works.

It's basic neuroplasticity... Rewiring the brain to strengthen positive thought pathways in the brain. If you can do this then that first rush of "oh shit I'm high, my heart's racing, am I gonna die" will go away. Keep a positive mental attitude and enjoy weed again :)

Idk if i ever have been around or met anyone who got the death feeling from smoking alone. Sucks for the folks that struggle, but i believe its in their mind 100% and that their hearts aint beating that fast. Ive been around people who say oh ima vomit after this shot of liquor and boom they do. My girlfriend says the taste of grilled chicken makes her vomit. I secretly put grilled chicken in a dish one time and she loved it. I told her after it was grilled chicken and she freaked out and vomited.. the mind is a wicked thing

I struggle with the heart racing but it's more a noticing my heart beating then my mind thinks it's my fight or flight kicking in so it kicks in. Only happens with bid though which I find really weird

I quit drinking them last year because of it. Energy drinks are the worst! Don't notice it after a cigarette though. It did motivate me to do more cardio though cause I was paranoid I was getting signs of a heart problem, purely because of the heart pounding. I think it's a combo of a reaction to tourine or caffeine and anxiety

Nueroplasticity is a subject that has fascinated me for years. It has honestly been a tool I have intentionally used for many of life situations. A great, great topic. Awesome post KD!

It really works too. I had a breakdown and the docs were no help so I Google dived how to deal with it and mindfulness and neuroplasticity is what got me through it. Then I realised I can use it to achieve anything really. It's all about strengthening the thought pathways you want to use most and the more you do it, the easier it gets until it becomes a natural reaction :)
