Is it normal to be really really f**ked up off weed....read the story!

Alright, so a couple days ago I smoked a joint (first joint) with a couple friends. And I usually don't smoke a bunch maybe 1-2 bowls shared between 2-3 people so not a lot but enough to get me mellow/relaxed. But this was quite a bit more, I heard that smoking a joint gets you "higher?" But anyways I take my 4th hit (massive hits, also a lightweight) pass it to my friend and things aren't feeling right, the joint comes back to me and I refuse because I'm still coughing and coughing intensely, my friend is like "No man you gotta take it, just do it" So after trying to refuse I just take the hit and that was just it for me, my vision is getting really f**ked things don't feel right and I black out.

So while I'm out of it and slowly come to I can hear the music, Bob Marley, I stared dancing while sitting on the couch and having a good time and I could hear my friend ask my other friend "Dude how do we get that high?" But even though it may have looked fun to them and it was a good feeling, the entire time things just felt "off". So while the music is playing I hear my friend say "It's like he's dancing around a fire in an African tribe" I could see what he was saying and then he said "BUT OH NO THEY HAVE BUTCHER KNIVES!!!" And I just f-ing lost it, I was screaming and flailing off the couch. What I felt was indescribable, but I was just miserable after he said that and I was just freaking out, I couldn't stop the horrible hell that I was going through, I was begging for it to end but it wouldn't. I tried so hard. My friends were laughing at my reactions but to me the laughs felt psychotic, evil, almost as if they were plotting against me. But I started drifting back to reality, fighting the best I could, the laughing felt like it was drowning me and trying to get back to reality was a sensation much like almost drowning and then getting a breath and then drowning again. That's what happened to me for countless times. *Part 1*

    So being the first "pot head" to comment on your story, I think I can help you with the answer to your question. There are one of two possibilities: You experienced what is called a "headrush" or you were smoking weed that was laced with another drug. A headrush is "When the brain does not recieve enough oxygen because of sudden changes in blood pressure. Its common to happen if you smoke some really potent marijuana and rise up too sudden. You may feel lightheaded in the beginning and experience some dimmed vision. In severe cases you may see alot of "stars" and have even more dimmed vision and it can be really intense and often leads to a panic attack. It may last up to 10mins or more." (urbandictionary.com) I myself have passed out from a headrush before, its not very fun. However I think the weed you smoked could have been laced because the description of your "bad trip" reminds me a lot of the bad trip I had when I ate too many magic mushrooms. Everything everyone said freaked me out and the only thing I wanted was for it to be over. You could have suffered from one or both of these. The only way to avoid laced weed is to know where/who you are getting your buds from. Hopefully this helped.

    Well, I've had similar experiences like this but I've never freaked right out by falling off a couch and screaming, that's just some crazy paranoid crap right there. But I've been totally incapacitated smoking weed but only out of a lung. A pop bottle with the bottom cut off and a plastic bag taped around the bottom. And even then it was only because the bowl was made of brass and that shit is super harsh. One time I threw up because of it.

    Laced with what I wonder... Could it have been that ginsem weed shit? I'm thinking either it was just the first time you got really stoned, or it was laced. Doesnt sound like it was angel dust, thankfully.

    I definetly don't think it was the J's because me and my buddies go through those quite often. It's been mentioned, and it sounds like you got some laced weed. Was it a regular dealer? Or was he new to you?

    i think this is the result of you being uncomfortable in the first place. coughing gets you HIGH, and it was probably the first time you had felt that way. the first time you get really high should be in a calm situation, so you don't get paranoid and freak out. once you're used to the feeling, the things going on around you, like you're friends laughing and being loud, won't make you nervous and uncomfortable.

    However if you're the type of person who gets nervous or anxious without weed, which is normal, i would SERIOUSLY recommend you don't smoke, because you'll probably always have a bad high, like the experience you described. some people just aren't meant to smoke weed, and that's okay.

    and one more thing.. it's okay to say you've had enough. there is a point where one becomes TOO high, so if you're feeling good, just say no and soon you're friends will be too high to remember. you could probably even take it and hold it for a sec then pass, and they've never know the difference. lol. best of luck.

    lol really, i think panic attacks are just thinking about things too much.. after learning that, i learned to stop them.. but no more weed..

    panic attacks are very controllable, kimmy.
    you still have them even now, after stopping?
    i remember getting them for only about a week after smoking, but they went away. it's only because the subjective feeling of the perception is in your mind, and you try to fight it off, creating a panic attack.

    but in my experience i don't get them anymore.
    they SHOULD go away, ultimately, after about a month after smoking.

  • What is your point? That you are foolish? That drugs send you into a sort of paranoid psychosis? That they have before?

      Well there is a 2nd part to what happened but regardless I just wanted to know if it had happened to anyone else. Except I realize now what happened and now what I have to go through. My actions result in my consequences.

    yes, the same thing happened to me.
    but nobody tells you this stuff. weed is so 'harmless.'

    just don't worry about it. it happened once while youre were high. OK. end of story. don't smoke again. TRUST ME. stop while you only had ONE bad trip. i heard that a series of them can permanently f*ck you up.

    i had that feeling of drowning/ coming back up to reality. its like spacing out and then coming back in. i had it sober once, too. its not a headrush. its a direct result of the weed. very potent weed can do it (it need not be laced). i too felt like everyone was after me; things felt like they were constantly looping. I would feel like people were repeating things 2 or 3 times.. its so messed =/ i hate that it happened. just be careful, okay. don't smoke. if this hasn't happened to you sober, then you're fine.
