Is it normal to go crazy from a few drags on a spliff?

Ok...I have been doing chemical based drugs for several years now and always have a good time and am in control of my marbles.

But Whenever I do cannabis with my friends - after a few tokes they are all relaxed chilling out - but I intensify and start struggling with my consciousness and it is quite literally a living nightmare. It feels like i am being possessed and i have to fight with myself to stay sane. To elaborate...

I start to link random incidents that occur in the room together as if everything now has some kind of universal thread linking everything together and I am searching for it. for instance my mate laughs... I imagine the letters 'HA, HA' coming out of his mouth, in my head these morph into the numbers '8''8'. I then look around the room and see 8 people. I start to panic... the 8th person gets up and comes sit down next to me... i start thinking he may be some kind of force of evil.

My deepest darkest most evil thoughts and philosophies start to work themselves into incidents in the room. And this continues...I am not religious and dont believe in hell but I start to believe i am wandering around through the personfication of evil. I feel trapped in an imagination - a parallel universe.

I snap back to reality briefly then start to go under again, then back again. I start to feel tiny electric pulses in my finger tips and in my bottom lip. Im scared to pass out as i feel i will not wake up again. I want to cry out for help but I cant as everyone is stoned and you dont wanna look like a dick.

The paranoia thoughts space out further and further apart until you level out and gain total sanity. You vow never to put yourself through it again...

What is going on here? why is everyone else in the room fine but not me? Is my brain wired differently? Do i have a stronger imagination? Why is it a physical drug for everyone but a mental one for me? I need answers!!

    Some people are more sensitive to the mania induced by several strains of cannabis. And of course there is the "Was it laced?" question. Also you should consider the plants we have today are bred to have levels of THC/CBD that are so high they are causing serious mental health issues with regular users these days. This is not your hippy Aunts weed of the 60's anymore.

    I've found from personal exp (former toker 25 yrs +) that cannabis causes mania, paranoia, or psychotic episodes even in a few. It's a powerful natural painkiller that is WAAAAAYYYYY over used/abused by people who DO NOT NEED IT!

    Cannabis is a natural alternative to using narcotics for chronic pain. Not 'sumting you sip all day like da cup o tea.'-(Rasta Accent) Unless of course you have cancer, degenerative disc disease (like me), severe arthritis, etc...

    So if you are having a bad reaction to it, it's better to avoid it. Unless you have some trusted pals who can babysit you while you experiment with other strains to see if they have similar effects.

    I've found Sour Diesel to be the worst offender as far as inducing mania.

    Just try to use it around people you trust and that are your close friends if your prone to going crazy while experimenting with this plant. You don't need some jerk around who thinks it's funny to mind fuck you when you've lost your mind.

    Nothing annoys me more then people who reply to these sort of threads with advice such as "it must be laced"

    Just because it doesnt have that reaction with you doesnt mean it is laced. Some people have under lying conditions or just simply work differant to others. Drugs effect everyone differantly you moron! grrr.

    lol ivegotballsofsteal is right.

    by the by, i think everyone goes through head-trips, but some people just know how to handle it. i am a deeply contemplative person--like yourself--and i stopped smoking just because i'd get into the same predicaments. now i can trip myself out just by thinking and willing (without drugs).

    it's just because the pot makes your paranoid. that's all it really is. and it happens to most people.

    that happend to me just not as intesne. i recently had such a bad trip on weed that i am taking a few months off. you probably had a bad trip. when i had my bad trip off weed i felt so paranoid and anxious. i kept thinkin my weed was laced and i was never gunna get off the high. but i ended up being fine. just a bad trip. take a break from it for a while. mayb u just smoked sumthin stronger than you usually smoke. and as far as ur friends u never know how its affecting them its all in ur mind. for the same reason u dont cry out for help they can be feeling the same thing. just try to remember wen u smoke and get a bad trip, its just a drug and the high will wear off. if you need to take a high down drink lots of milk and eat muchies. keep urself occupied by reading sumthing or watchin something. juss give drugs a break for a while and wen u feel comfortable enough toke one or two times and see what happens. goodluck =] hope i helped

    Sounds like it was laced, weed does affect some people differently, but not like that.
