Anyone experienced this?
Occasionally when i'm smoking, i get very tense, panicky...i'm wondering if this spliff-related (complicated and slightly whimsical reasoning) or owing to nicotine itself. I've not come across anyone else with this problem...

Only when smoking a fag. When mixed with weed, it doesn't happen.
Yeah, I was thinking about it being dopamine related, seems very unusual but nothing else could account.
I presume you dont smoke regularly?
thats cos you spend most of your time running around the bogs shouting "butt, butt" in school....hahahaha don't say thats not funny...
And you don't...
" ah fuck up, you got the last one"
maybe so but i'm nowhere near as bad as you...in fact by me saying that meant that you called the last one and the one i wanted so haha
Thats because, I presume, you are addicted, so your body wants it and afterwards the craving is calmed.
is that not the nature of the chemical nocotine though, makes you feel calm though in reality it speeds your heart beat up or something like that
You are chemically addicted, so your body is craving it, this hightens the senses and you are on edge, the satisfaction is calming.
There is also the mind set, you think it will calm you so it does.
And also the physical act of smoking is normally relaxing, you will be sitting or standing taking deep breaths.
Nah, I smoke every day...i evaded nicotine addiction for a considerable period, but having the world's biggest chainsmoker as a flatmate changed all that.
