Has anyone ever had a bad trip like this from weed before?

I am a regular smoker, i tend to smoke around 1/2 an ounce a week and have done for the past 2-3 years. A few months ago i had a hit on a bong (which i have done many times before) and sat for a minute or so and then thought to myself "woahhh! i am Fu**ing highh!" a few seconds later though i had to lay down my heart started racing, my body went completely numb and my hearing went and everything around me went completely crazy, the only way i can describe it was like dizzyness but nothing felt real, it was almost like a trip on salvia - that strange feeling you get but without the hallucinations. I had to call my friend because i genuinely thought i was dying. Anyway for the next few days i felt a bit strange, but i decided to smoke again anyway. The same thing happened again, this time just off a joint, different weed i may add. This time it wasn't quite as bad but still the same horrible feeling. Anyway i decided to go to the doctors the next day and she said i had labyrinthitis and gave me some medication. After a week of taking the medication i smoked again and this time i felt fine, just nice and baked. i have been smoking regularly again for about 3 months. A few nights ago however i was round a friends house and we were getting baked. i smoked about half a spliff to myself (which isn't usually alot for me - i usually smoke at least 5 a day) anyway that same horrible feeling happened i couldn't breath or anything. it's a few days later now and i've been to the doc again and he's prescribed me some medication to get rid of it. My question is has this ever happened to any experienced smokers before? i've read some similar things from non regualr pot smokers but i would like to see if this has happened to anyone before who smokes alot. I am worried cos its only really happened when i smoke and i don't think the weed was laced cos all my friends smoked the same stuff (all of whom are experienced smokers) and they were fine, plus it's happened before and that was a completely different strain. i really hope it goes away cos i love smoking weed it's the best! :D oh and please don't just assume it was "chronic" and i couldn't handle it, i've been to Amsterdam and smoked some of the strongest strains around and was fine. i Tend to smoke pretty strong stuff with high THC levels, the thing is when this has happened i don't even think the weed was overly potent. Also this strange feeling has only ever came on when i've smoked weed. It's never happened when i haven't. Anyway You're stories would be appreciated.

    Dont listen to tinauger shes a dumbass. I have the EXACT same problem. I could have wrote that post myself. I smoked for 2 and half years until one day everything you described happened to me. Almost called 911 because my heart was pounding so fast it hurt. I got tunnel vision and everything looked weird. I shook for hours afterward as well. 3 weeks after this happened i still had anxiety attacks from it. You will not be the same ever again. I have a few friends with the same problem and they have since quit or cut down to a small pinner to them selves. Your not alone.

    Im an inexperienced smoker. On one occasion I felt very unwell and my heart felt like it was about to pop out of my chest immediately after I smoked.

    Another time I smoked and was fine for an hour. Then I got up and after a minute I felt flushed like I was going to throw up. Then I ran to the bahroom and completely lost my balance. I had to physically crawl to bed because I couldn't stand up. Was fine after a good nights sleep though

    I saw stars one time and my balance went funny and I felt nothing, I remember seeing a space or a hole or something, but that only lasted for a split second, and it was cool and I kept smoking, I was completely unharmed. Tripped me out though..

    I am a regular smoker I smoke about 5 days a week about 3 to 4 bong loads each time that me and my husband share. My first time smoking was laced with acid (I found this out afterwards) so my highs are a little wilder than most. I have heard that if you smoke stuff that is laced that it will change the way your body reacts to THC. I think that that might be problem. when I was pregnant I didn't smoke smoke. After I started up again they got worse. So I think taking breaks doesn't help.
    Hope I could help you.

      haha sorry, heat destroys lsd, your weed can't be laced with it if you smoked it. but i think a fair percentage of people experience this type of reaction to marijuana, I know I have quite a bit.

    It has happened to me. I also thought I was dying because my heart was racing and it wouldn't slow down. I thought I was having a heart attack or something and had to call my mom so she could calm me down! I wouldn't consider myself a regular smoker though... I used to be but that was a couple years before my incident happened. In the years in between I only smoked once every few months.
