Is a trip like this normal when smoking weed?

So my friends and I had just got done smoking and everything was pretty normal. My friend and I stood up to do something and my vision got flashy. I could still see, but with white flashes. I also felt really weird. My body was sorta numb and I think it was tingling. I got physically sick a few minutes after and sorta up-chucked. RIGHT after I was done, I lost my vision.. It went all black. I could see where I was in my mind, from being so familiar with the place, but my vision was just straight black. I sat down surprisingly normal and acted like I was fine. Then my hearing started to make things sound like they were underwater when they talked and I had an over whelming feeling of fear, because honestly I was so scared. I found if I closed my eyes it was worse so I sat there in what my mind perceived as pitch black just twisting my fingers around each other and my vision finally came back. It still wasn't normal. It was all soft and dream like, and things were glowing yellow. Is this normal? What happened? I thought I was going to die.

    I think someone messed up your weed by adding in dope. Or you don't eat or drink enough.

      If it was dope, what kind would have caused me to do that?

    It is normal if you got a really strong strain of weed and unexpectedly got way too high from it. Sounds like you were just way too high.

        You kind of roll the dice with the potency when you buy from someone. There is no telling what you got exactly. I don't smoke weed anymore, but when I did things like you described in your story have happened to me. It was just because I got too high. The tingling is pretty common. It could have been a combination of things.

          So should I probably smoke less if I decide to smoke? I barely smoke. I only do it when my friend asks me to be with him.

    Yes it's normal, it's called a trip. the third time I ever smoked weed I got this mid potency strain, I started smoking it really fast so after 20 minutes my vision became all flashy and I started tripping so bad . It lased about 2 hours.

    The only thing I can think of is your body tried to pass out but you fought it so hard you never actually went night night? Like blacking out when you're drunk? I dunno, I've seen lots of people pass out but I've never seen or heard of this before, would be interesting if someone could actually explain what happened to you.

      I guess the best way to explain it, is like.., If you've ever passed out before things can someone get flashy tthen you just go. Well instead of actually going, I was still up but my vision was gone. All my friends were fine and this has never happened before. I'm pretty freaked out.

        If I had to guess is say it's a form of blacking out like on alcohol, the only thing you could really do about this is to stay hydrated and well fed.

        Just out of curiosity, are you over/under weight? Do you have any medical conditions? I'm only asking because most of the people I smoke with are fit and healthy and young, and it makes me wonder if health is a major factor when smoking because we never experience problems like this but it seems so common here on IIN.

          I might be a little underweight not sure I'm 5 foot and about 100-105 it varies. so idk if for a female that's normal. Also the only medical condition I have is depression. I think other than that as far as I know I'm pretty healthy and I stay fit and I'm young.

          I'd also like to add that your mentality about doing a drug can seriously determine how it effects you

            I was pretty chill about smoking weed. it's not the first time it's happened. I mean I realize that yes that can definitely effect you but I don't think my mentality was bad..
