Weed induced Panic Attack

[Dundun05]

Just wondering if my situation will affect the application process.

So about 6 months ago I had a marijuana induced panic attack and went to an emergency psychiatrist because I thought it was a deeper issue. It turns out it wasn’t, but I’m still worried this might disqualify me from service. That is the only panic attack I’ve had in my life and the only reason I went to the hospital was because I thought it was a heart attack or something else. Will I be able to explain this to the medical officer?

Yes, though you might be asked to provide supporting documentation.

From our reading, people that are affected that way from pot have a genetic disposition that makes them susceptible to such effects from THC.
