My problem is also on bad weed reaction,
Exept I had smoked tons of times since. I only smoked medium doses (not some stupid-ass overdosed joints) until last month. On vacation, I wasn't with my friends, and basically I hadn't smoked for a week and a half. I really wanted a joint, just to chill, get the taste and relax : I wasn't craving it.
At my Bro's house at the party, I finally got the occasion, to smoke. I called my Bro's around the table and we took out our shit.
It was a square piece of light brown hash, worth something like 30$. All three of us wanted to get baked hard, so we melted and rolled the 3/5 of the cube of hash with tabacco.
We all smoked the joint till we reached the cardboard, and we tripped. I was hight as fuck instantly, really fkin high and shit. 2 seconds later I start feeling extreamly weird:
-I couldn't talk,
-I was shaking,
-I was paranoiac as hell and was scared todeath
-I couldn't stop my arms from spasming all over the place, without being able to controll them.
-I was hearing a big deal of noise in my ears like some symbals or really piercing noises in my head,
And then all got fucking worse..
My heart was beating irregularily, it evens stopped beating for several seconds, It would calm down beating normally, then race till it was bouncing all over the place and stop for a few seconds before starting again.
I sufured that shit for 4 strait hours.
I thought I was gonna have a heart attack I really thought I was dying.
I woke up the next morning feeling pretty fine exept for a badass headache, and pains above my heart. I was really happy all was over, and the rest of the week went fine, I thought till soon it was a one time incident.
Two days ago I took 3 tokes on a Juicy-J (with weed, sain proportions and mixed with tabacco)
and it did to me the exact same shit.

Do any pro's out there know what is happening to me?? Since then i feel my heart beating harder and shit. My friends don't understand why I refuse to smoke and nobody believes me when I tell them I can't stand weed anymore!

Do you guys know any solutions, any tips, any explanations for my weed-intolerance or how to get back on the right track?

The panic attaks and paranoia have while smoking have terrified the shit out of me.

    Have considered the weed be laced with a more powerful drug? I've heard of this before, but I question the source of your weed. I have never had a panic attack smoking weed. In fact I have suffered from them, but weed has never provoked them, but quite the opposite. If the source of your weed is a dispensery then I would either quit altogether, or request a different strand. Perhaps an indica rather than a sativa. Sativa's are more of an upper high that can cause a floodgate of thoughts and reactions which I suspect might spark a panic attack, but I'm not 100% sure. And I don't think anyone will since it is a schedule I drug meaning it can't even be legally tested by any agency.

      I have no idea if the weed was laced or anything, I'll try to find that out if I can. None of my friends were freaking out like me that's what upsets me.

    I went on to develop anxiety and ocd thanks to my use of weed.

    Many of my friends, all long time smokers have had similar experiences. It really can fuck your head up over time.

    This has happened to me before too. I wasn't scared until my body started freaking out. It felt like an out of body experience and i was convinced i found the meaning of life. lol...advice. cut down your number of hits until you become more tolerant. It also helps just to stay calm and not worry about dying, cuz in truth, IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN! good luck =)

    oh just to add, the guy above me could also be right, mixing weed with tabbaco can cause shaking and shit too! Like with me, smoking tabacco alone is ok but i cant mix it with weed cause it makes the weed hit you so much faster and harder and makes your heart beat really fast.

    shit i didnt see that guys answer before...that could very well be the problem!! ignore the thumbs down someone put for that answer...

    Like others are saying, it MIGHT be laced with something.

    But otherwise it definatly sounds like you had a panic attack, feeling like you are having a heart attack,thinking you are going crazy or dying and having paranoid thoughts is a NORMAL panic attack. I would say the physical symptoms you experienced were most likely caused mentally. Although, the shaking happened to me once but it was when i first ever smoked weed and i didnt know how to inhale properly.

    I dont know how often you smoke but its common for heavy users to suddenly experience a really bad trip and never want to smoke again.

    Which leads me to my next idea that you just had a bad trip, those can be brought out for a number of reasons, like something tramatic that happened in the past, what mood you were in when you took it, bla bla...Thing is with any kind of drug it is possible to have a bad trip, some people wont experience one for years and then bam, one tiny thing might be different that day and they have a bad trip. It happens. Be careful with drugs. I dont mean to sound preachy, but as a person who has done A LOT of drugs, the one time i experienced a bad trip (not from weed) gave me PTSD. For about a year it felt like i was going through one huge bad trip and ever since then i cant even smoke weed without it happening again and triggering PTSD for another couple months. I remember doing a fuck load of research trying to figure out what happened, and what i learned is drugs do this, its as simple as that, any kind of slight emotional or mental weakness even in just one day can cause it. These kinds of stories arent jjust made up to scare teens from doing drugs, shit really does happen. Just be careful.

    Sounds like a really good time. Smoke some more. I'm sure that will help.

    If something causes you pain why not stop it? Does it really matter at that point whether it's normal or not?

    The best method of avoiding that reaction... Don't smoke so much weed!

    If smoking a lot doesn't agree with you then don't do it, especially if it effects your health and causes anxiety issues. Some people who are predisposed to develop mental health problems find long term use of marijuana causes psychological difficulties. Stick to the diet joints or don't smoke at all.

    Dayyyuuuuuuum, that most have been some dank ass chronic! The THC is just doing it's job. Marijuana is often used as a spiritual vision aid/guide along with other herbal medicine. But it can be used for medical purposes as well. Mary Jane is sure a wonderful and magically Goddess.

    I've had the same problem before. All I can say is no, you aren't going to die.

    I've never had anything remotely like this happen to me from smoking. Honestly how could you ever think you're gonna die from smoking weed? It's physically impossible. Panic attack or no, it is literally impossible for weed to kill you.

    It sounds like maybe you shouldn't smoke. And judging by the fact that you call weed "doses" you probably don't know very much about it.

      I know It isn't possible to die because of weed, only that's what I beleived while I had smoked that day, and as you guessed I'm not a pro :) Even thought I've smoked loads of times

        How old are you anyway? Maybe it's just the circles I hang out in, but it helps to smoke with people who really know their shit, down to the pharmacology.

        And if it was that big a piece of hash, hash is very much stronger than normal weed. I've never smoked enough hash to trip but I've heard people say it's happened to them.

        The thing to tell yourself is just remind yourself you can't die from it, that you are fine and that you're just panicking. Sit back, relax, smoke a cig or whatever you need to do and just enjoy the buzz rather than fight it.

        But like I said, if you're having problems like this you might want to be careful about smoking again. I've been smoking for somewhere between 4 or 5 years now and oddly, I've never had a problem like this. I've never even freaked out from psychedellics.

        Really makes me wonder what's the difference between people who panic and whitey and people who never seem to.

        And I'm sorry, my last comment wasn't very helpful. I think I was tired when I replied to this.

          I'm 17 next month, and my friends don't know a lot about it, we don't always question ourselves on the origin and the properties of what we smoke, clearly because we don't have any clue of theese differences.

          I think the possiblly big wad of hash might have caused that , it seemes logical, but your right, there is no reason for me to be having it on each occasion. It's just weird to have this all of a sudden.

          If I have it again, i'll relax easier coz i know now it's not dangerous. The first time I just freaked out because didn't know what it was.
          I'm going to take a break on weed for some time and then i'll try out a toke and see what happens and hope for the best ;)

    I use to smoke all the time until it started to trigger panic attacks. Many of my friends have had similar experiences. I really don't miss it.
