Marijuana, like any substance, affects all people differently. Unfortunately for you, it seems to trigger panic/anxiety attacks.
To put things in perspective, marijuana actually
took away my panic/anxiety attacks, back when I smoked socially. I don't smoke at all now, but not for any particular reason.
Rule #1 is don't let people judge you and give you shit for smoking pot. People will talk down to you and call you all kinds of things for that. Tell them to go fuck themselves if you get abused like that. It's not their place to judge.
So, in short, just don't use marijuana, you obviously disagree with it on some biological/chemical level.
A quick question, though- is there any history of schizophrenia or panic disorders (other than your sister) in your family?

I agree with this as well.
