Question 1

what to do if i have awful anxiety after smoking k2 once 2 years ago.?

Accepted Answer

These drugs: Are so dangerous. If the anxiety has not resolved in the last two years, it really is time for a psychiatric evaluation. Take care.

Question 2

what do you suggest if i have awful anxiety after smoking k2 once 2 years ago.?

Accepted Answer

See a mental health: Professional.  Synthetic cannabinoids like spice/k2 have been reported to cause long-term psychiatric issues, including flashbacks, anxiety and depression, even after a single exposure in some people. You don't really know what is in the preparations, and they vary in purity, concentration and adulterants, so you can be getting very toxic stuff.  See a psychiatrist for a full evaluation.

Question 3

what shorterns lifespan more...anxiety or smoking?

Accepted Answer

Probably smoking: Although there hasn't been an actual study measuring lifespan reduction head-to-head between these 2 directly, my educated guess is that smoking is a greater health risk.  Smoking not only risks developing cancer, but also causes lung disease all by itself.  Also, stopping smoking can improve your mental health -- less anxiety and depression overall.  http://tinyurl.com/mv56x66.
