Is it normal that i had a really bad trip off of spice?

The other day I was smoking the herbal incense blends called ex-ses. I took three sizeable hits from it and instantly became extremely high. I was so high that I couldn't feel my limbs or body. I felt like I was sinking into hell, my body was burning. Loud evil music played in my head. I could hear myself screaming in my head, promising to never smoke the shit again. Soon after, I began throwing up. I threw up over a dozen times in the period of and hour. That was my bad experience smoking that spice shit. Has this happened to any one else? Please don't leave any comments that won't help me, like "you shouldn't be doin that shit!" I already know that. Please leave your bad trip story or helpful advice.

    DO NOT DO IT! I took two puffs of it and within one minute everything around me started slowing up ,my hearing was altered the only thing I could hear was the voices in my head telling me I was crazy and to do crazy things,I could barely walk,or stand ,i started thinking people around me were evil and wanted to kill me my heart was beating very fast and also my mouth extremely dry,I only took two puffs if I had done more id probley be,dead I thought I was dying please dont do this stuff. I could not control my thoughts its not a joke leave it alone ,real weed does not do that.

    Yes, I would say this is normal. I used to use the stuff heavily, and I used to get strange back pain that seriously felt like my spinal cord was in pain, no actually my back. It made it hard to walk around while high and everything, as soon as I was no longer high it would be gone. I have never seen demons or been dragged through hell, but I have on many, many, occasions heard this very strange and minor(erie, like halloween music almost) based dubstep song playing in my mind as if it was playing through my speakers in my garage. I had a trip that made me quit cold turkey after using it 3-4 times daily for a month. My friend and I were talking, and all of a sudden I got this strange idea that I was going to die as soon as I wasn't high anymore. I felt like everything I said was somehow being sung in note and tune with that strange song I always heard. But as I talked, everything I said felt like an ultimatum in a sense. Everything I said felt like it was about to be my last words, like I was about to just drop dead. It scared me shitless. Enough to just quit outright. This crap does the same thing mechanically as marijuana, but it uses different oil if you catch my drift. It sends different signals, different ways than weed. Hence why such back pain and crazy trips happen, it's the chemicals controlling your nervous system. If you find yourself tripping bad on this stuff, just sit down comfortably, breathe slow and deeply, and just think about something that relaxes you. Always worked for me, just gotta have the self control to force yourself to relax.

    Yeah the same thing happened to me I was at a friends house and smoked two bowls out of a gas mask bong, I sat in a chair just screaming cause all I could see were demons and hallucinations and I just began throwing up everywhere and every time i would throw up i was drug into a deeper layer of the "he'll" that i was in. It sucks so bad and it traumatized you. Stay away from that shit and just smoke weed.

    I just had my first and only bad trip. fuck that stuff. i thought i was dieing and i thought my friend was dieing right next to me befor we went to work. he was puking for 30 mins and i couldnt say or do anything to help him. i couldnt even move. I prayed to god to not let me die like that. i couldnt talk at all though. like i was screaming inside but nothing came out of my mouth. Ill never do that shit again. I learned my lesson. alot of other stuff happened too but u get the point of it.

    I had the same thing happen to me. I was so embarrassed.
    But I saw demons, they were fghting over me, dragging me into deeper layers of hell. Stretching my body. (I was suffocating and throwing up the whole time slumped over holding onto the bottom of my plastic chair, foaming at the mouth.)
    When I finlly revained vision of the real world, I dint recognize any of my friends. I thought everyone around me was fake, like a figment of a childs imagination fading away as another thought came to take our place,
    I thought I was dying, wanted to die. Wanted to die quickly. But at the same time I thought I was already dead, like it was too late. Then like I never existed.
    It was the single most painful and terrifying moment of my life. I am now afraid of death like I never was before.

      I relate so much to your experience I smoked spice once and had a seizure n stopped breathing the person u was with gave me CPR n mouth to mouth n revived me , he said I had stopped breathing and was turning blue. But the feeling and visions I had during that whole thing were like nothing I have ever experienced. I Rember rite before I passed out or started to fall over b4 the seizure I feel like mby I even Rember some of that or at least the way my body felt coming outa it all all tensed up like in my toes even. Mby I was semi aware of it somehow when this person was breathing for me But it was like I was being whooshed very fast and forcefully btwn two planes of hell that were a feeling and a place and something I was seeing too it's Soo hard to explain it was so utterly disturbing and unsettling and constantly like In motion back n forth btwn two plaines of hell forever like I was Gona be stuck being whooshed back n forth forever and then all the sudden I was whooshed outa it but it felt like I had been there forever, but mby it was only a few minutes or seconds. The person who was helping me was as scared as I was when I came out of it he thought I was dead... I feel like I felt evil and a darkness I've never known or believed in or given much thought to before. I am very afraid to die now. What the hell was this. My visions were of the insides of body's like a ballon cavity with blood m tissue n tumors n hair n teeth like the worst nightmare you cld ever have...

    Yes, it is normal, although results vary. JWH is the drug, and it is sprayed onto many different kinds of dried leaves, from which it can be smoked, if one so chooses. It affects the same receptors in the brain as THC (the active ingredient in marijuana)but, differently. There are many different analogs of this drug, and the primary problem is that it is often hard to tell which one(s) are in a given product, along with the dosage.If anyone tries this, it is suggested that you only take one hit the first time, and wait it out to see how it affects you, before consuming more. There is a fine line with this stuff between nice, pleasant, happy buzz and freaking out, anxiety ridden, thinking you're gonna die type of sheer terror. The 'limit' is different, depending on the product, and your tolerance. However, if you smoke over the limit, these terrors are guaranteed, and my advice in such circumstance is to do your best to remain calm, know it is the effect of the drug, and wait for it to pass, as it eventually does. It is mostly psychological, and seems to have no lasting damage, but just the same, it can be extremely unnerving, and cause you to panic.Smoking under that limit, however, can be a delightful experience, much like pot, but different in many ways. It is slowly seeing laws being made to restrict its use and sale, state by state, primarily due to inexperienced users who smoke too much, then run to the hospital thinking they are dying, when in reality it is just a mostly harmless panic attack, albeit a frightening one. I'm not promoting, it, or any other drug use, but if you are going to try something, please do it intelligently, responsibly, and with some caution, especially the first time. The stupid and careless ruin it for everyone else through their thoughtless, and often dangerous, actions.

    Took 8 bong loads of spice two days ago and I was sitting down and kinda just felt like I wasn't even there. I felt like I was in a Five Gum commercial sitting in that big dark room in a chair. Then I focused on my heartbeat and it slowly got slower and ridiculously loud. Then my heartbeat stopped and it scared the shit out of me. But that shits fun, gives a good ass high.

    There are smokeable spice blends too. A lot of them *say* not for human consumption just to be allowed to sell them... Like k2 or any of the other "legal buds"

    Sounds fucking creepy, what plants was the blend made with? I only ever tried the pot like stuff, pure grass, and this shit called down to earth that was kind of like mild salvia but not really. Idk how to really tell which kinds to trust and vice reversa..

    I was like that after a super phaal once. At first I thought I was going to die, and then I merely hoped I would. And quickly.

    Damn those spices!

    The only helpful advice I know is, 'don't smoke stuff.'
    I know you don't want to hear it, but after trying all sorts, I know no substance benefits you.

    Yeah, this is completely normal. My friend and I absolutely love spice, but we have two other friends who hate it and a lot of people around here who have tried it have experienced bad trips.

    One time this girl we smoked with literally saw demons, she thought she was in hell. She tore her nails off and screamed and ran outside and down the street.. it was crazy.

  • Just smoke regular weed. That's what I do, and I never had a bad trip. If you want to get really really high, just smoke a lot of weed.
