Is it normal to feel like this the first time you get high...

I smoked out of a bong, but then I started coughing so my friend had me lay down and I couldn't moved at all. My arms and legs felt like a thousand pounds and I couldn't breathe. It felt like my throat was filled with air pockets, making it very hard to breathe at all. Everytime I tried to breathe, it would be short tiny breaths because it felt like my heart would explode if I took a deeper breath. My body got all shaky an I was literally convulsing, I couldn't keep my head on straight. And then I got really sick, and everything was on fire. It took hours for me to finally stop convulsing, I honestly felt like I was dying, I was praying the entire time that I would be able to see my family again. Is this normal, has this ever happened to anyone else?

    shitson sounds more than a whitey! you dont trip on weed and thats not the normal effect, where your friends who were smoking the same stuff okay? could of been spiked or some shit. ive heard stories of weed being sprayed with cocaine so it coulc be something like that, spiked weed

    You did that to yourself. It's called spinning out. If your trying weed for the first time you should only have a few tokes on a joint. Basically instead of dipping your toes in to test the water, you just parachuted into the middle of the pacific.

    Lmfao, the first time I got high I spent an hour crying to my friends older brother about how much I love him and want to make out with him, and he kept telling me "it's okay.. It's okay. Just go sit over there and enjoy the music .." (I got high with my friend her brother and his friend. ) it was hilarious xD

    You probably took way to big of a hit. Especially for your first time

    First trips have a chance to be somewhat strange. I've read a few accounts of people reacting differently to Weed the first time they used it.

    From what I've researched unusual events are normal, though not quite at the severity you expressed. Perhaps there is something wrong with the type of marijuana you smoked.

    I can't give you any personal accounts, because the first time I tried it I took Savlia Divinorum at the same time, so I was pretty dazed all the way through.

    Had you smoked cigs before?
    it could've been unclean weed, bud whatever you wanna call it. I have a tree, and get it from there, heat it up, cut it up and put a little bit of tobacco in it.
    Anyone else do the same?

    Your mindset has a lot to do with the experience, you may have just taken way too fat of a rip, especially using a bong for your first time, and didn't know what to expect, the overwhelming rush probably caused anxiety, coupled with the rapid heartbeat you just had a mild anxiety bout. If you ever wish to try again, try a joint and start with small puffs and work up from that, I could see this happening if I never smoked and ripped a bong, so yea this is normal

    The 1st time I smoked weed I felt like I was floating a foot off the ground, colors seemed brighter and everything was really funny. I was a little paranoid but mostly it was fun
