Is it normal to have a bad trip/hallucinate from weed?

Is it normal to hallucinate, and be out of your mind from smoking/eating too much weed?

This weekend, I was going to a concert, and I decided to smoke some weed before I went, to make the experience more enjoyable.. I had 4 or 5 tokes not too sure. (I blaze occasionally, not every week.)

So the opening acts finished, and we were waiting for the main performance, and I could feel the weed wearing off.. Or so I thought. My friend brought some weed cookies with him so I decided to have half of one. (one cookie was $10 worth)

Before I knew it, it was hitting me. First I enjoyed it, and I was sitting there, and I was staring at a red and white light, and it felt like it was lifting me up and, I couldn't feel my face. Then I was looking down, and it felt like my face was falling/melting off. Right before the performance the crowd started to do the wave around the stadium, and I couldn't handle it. All the people.. everything, the sounds they were making as the wave went around (WHUOOAAAAAA...) I had to get out and start walking around.. That started to freak me out more, which made the situation worse. I splashed some water on my face and somehow when the performance started my friends calmed me down and could get me to go back in. I lasted about 2 songs, and I couldn't handle it again. I felt sick so I went and puked. I just couldn't go back in the concert, so I walked around for so long pacing back and forth... I couldn't control my actions, like if I started walking in a straight line it HAD to be straight, and I couldn't stop walking.. I had to use all my will power, and suddenly I would make a sharp turn. Then I puked again, and I could literally feel the weed radiating out of me... I could smell it coming out of my nose, feel it out of my mouth, eyes, everything, and while this was happening I was thinking oh the weed is coming out of me, so I started hallucinating and saw little marijuana leaves dispersing and flying everywhere.

I also thought I seriously needed to go to the hospital, and kept asking my friends if I needed to go. They finally got me to go back into the concert, where I was out of my mind. I just sat there stuck in one position, leaning on my friend.. I started shivering, and I hallucinated, seeing the weirdest things. I saw some of my friends in my hallucinations as well. My body felt weird, like it was numb, but I could still feel it doing weird s***. And whenever I was in one position I was stuck in that position it was a huge effort to move.

To sum things up, I had a terrible trip, hallucinated, shivered, puked 5-6 times (attempted about 10 times but sometimes nothing came out).
And I was in a good happy place before, I ate it so I don't know what went wrong. Was it laced? am I just a noob?

  • I don't think that's a normal reaction to weed, not at all.

    My first thought was that you were pulling a whitey, but those only last 10-15 minutes. They are caused by toking too much-more than you are used to. It's not really an overdose because it fades in a few minutes. It can happen to anyone, even to chronics.

    So, that leads me to think that you maybe did pull a whitey, since you had way more pot than you were use to. You were also in a situation that a lot of people can't handle while high; loud noises/lots of people/lots of strange lights. Plus, once you started feeling REALLY high, you started to panic; which is basically the WORST possible thing you could do.

    It's not likely that it was laced - even though a lot of people would jump to this conclusion right off the bat. Good dealers don't like to give their customer's bad weed because they depend on maintaining a positive relationship with their clientele.

    I don't think your trip was "normal", but considering the circumstances, it doesn't seem odd that you had a bad trip.

    Try not to overdo it next time.

    Cannabis is much more potent orally than it is smoked. You're an occasional user, and you consumed something intended for people with very high tolerance. And you did this in a noisy, chaotic, unfamiliar environment. And you're SURPRISED that you had a bad trip? I'm really not trying to be a jerk; I'm just trying to point out how inevitable your experience was. You should have tried a very small amount of the cookie first, to test its strength and how much it was going to affect you, before eating as much as half of it. This is a garden-variety overdose. Most of the vomiting and such was from sensory overload more than the cannabis itself.

      Also, I disagree completely with people who are saying it was laced, or that you should never use cannabis again. Just because you have one bad experience with something does NOT mean you shouldn't ever do it again! Didn't your parents teach you guys not to be quitters? Jeez.

      Incidentally, why do so many people seem to think that every bad reaction to cannabis means someone is "allergic" to it? Since when did "allergic" mean "reacts badly to" in general? Here I thought allergies were very specific things with very specific symptoms.

    I just feel the need to share my experience with yall.. I have smoked weed a few times so this wasnt my first, but itwas my first time from a bong.. ok so last night I smoked and as soon as i took the hit I started coughing.. instantly i threw up a little but I think that was from the coughing.. I went back inside with my friends and I just chilled and could start telling that I was high. My friends wanted me to take another hit and were joking about me having to and this made me already start to panic because I KNEW i didnt want any..so I got up and told them I was going upstairs. Thats when EVERYTHING went crazy. I got in the bed but I dont really remember it.. all i remember is waking up and not knowing where i was.. and i started screaming for my friend and they all came running in. I felt like I was going to die, i thought that I serioulsy was gonna go into a coma or something. My body was flipping in my mind.. kinda like it was on replay for a sec. but they calmed me down a bit, then it would do it again. This happened for a few hours and I finally went to sleep. I woke up feeling okay this morning but i am still a little shaken up from it, and things that happened last night that I am remembering make me really upset and i get nervous again, but nothing compared to that feeling. I know I am not that crazy, and reading about it happening to other people make me feel a little bit better about it. I know it wasnt laced though before yall all go assuming that because plenty of others smoked and were completely fine. I have anxiety anyway and so I think this just wasnt a good mix. I just hope that I get better from this eventually. It was a goooood way to make me KNOW that I dont need to be doing that. it just ISNT for me.

    I agree with these last two comments shit wasn't lased you just freaked out on your own. Your fine, relax. And If you can't even handle bud then lay off the shit. Next time know what your doing or at least use some common sense.

    dont think it was laced. everytime i smoke it i feel like puking and if i smoke enough i become extremly self concious and panic. we all have different highs at different times different weed and different way of consumption. dont beileve the people who think it was laced. when you start to panic tell yourself its only weed and you will be fine

    Your fine dude you just ate a really strong cookie. I doubt it was laced with anything but mary jane. You experienced a panic attack and that's the worst state of mind to be in. You were just really high..around a loud crowd of people and your emotions and your inability to perceive things as they were wasn't an option for how high you were. If you can accept the high and control it you'll be fine.

    Cookie spun my brain so ya if you ever eat weed food of any kind I recommend taking little bites and only two bites then wait 2 hours before you eat any more and if u eat more only take one bite at a time or just make the weed food yourself and don't trust anyone at a concert or festival cause u can be in for a ride of your life again.

    And that's why you don't do drugs or smoke weed.

    it probably wasn't weed in that cookie or whatever it was you ate. it couldve been acid. drug test yourself and see what's in your system.

    Halucinating doesnt happen from whiteys, so it was either an extreme high, or laced. Could be a whitey too but not alone I don't think.

    Happened to me and tons other people. I'd. Advise you to not smoke again. Cause I still get the extreme weird feeling even though I haven't smoked weed in 2 years.

    You over dosed man. The only way you can over dose from weed is if you eat it.
