So my bf and I have been smoking for years and every once in a while after smoking when he stands up and does something everything starts to get all black and fuzzy and you want to close your eyes because you can't see anything. Your eyes are dialated and then you get really weak and fall,just collapse and pass out really quick,then after you still feel weak and light headed,eyes are still dialated,also you are super pale,and I think has low blood preassure. Is this normal,why does it happen? What is it a reaction from? Like how does the weed do this?

    When you inhale anything thats not oxygen you are depriving your brain heart and thus muscles. trust me if you take a fat hit sitting down hold it in then stand up quickly i almost garauntee that you will be light headed or pass out. ive watched people do it and i have also blacked out one time from takin to big of a hit. try some breathing techniques when your smoking. like take a smaller hit, or for instance this is what i do i take a hit half as big as i used to then fill the rest of my lungs with air before exhaling to sort of mix more oxygen with your hit. it helped me. but i have heart disease so no more tokin :(

    I have lower-than-average blood pressure and this happens to me all the time. It's common for people to get light headed / lose vision for a few seconds when you stand up quickly after sitting or laying down for a long time, but since smoking pot lowers your blood pressure even more, the effects are compounded. So yeah, its normal.

    If it bothers you just try to stand up more slowly, or maybe stretch or move around a bit before standing up when you're smoked.
