Really bad trip, help is appreciated.

So a friend of mine asks me to smoke a bowl with him at his house the other day. To make it short, we smoked the indica strain known as purple (my first time with a higher grain). About an hour later I was tripping really bad. MY body began to shake and my eyes were rolling all over the place. At first I thought the weed was laced but my friend wasn't feeling the same way I did, I also started to hallucinate and colors became way brighter (i smoked salvia a day earlier, maybe that had to do with it?). I slept over hoping I would be good the next morning. I was wrong. I got up the next day and was still feeling massive paranoia, panic attacks, and memory loss. I went home and laid in bed for two more days. Missed my job and school, and there was little improvement. I'm going on my fourth day and I woke up at 2AM with a massive panic attack. I'm feeling confused, annoyed, and really irritated. I don't know what to make of all this. This whole experience makes me want to never touch my pipe again. Not worth it.

    Okay, this happend to me once 3 years ago. I tripped wayyy worse than you did. I didnt remember anything about my life my family or life at all. I couldnt remember existing before and I couldnt conceive of really existing in the future. I had no sense of any concept of time and when I snapped out of it I had a huge panic attack. It took me all night before I started remembering people and things and feeling better. My skin felt like it was burning and my fingers and lips felt numb. I didnt want to tell anyone but I told a few friends who helped me out. I would drink as much water as you can and eat a lot of starch. Make a huge pot of pasta or something that will fill you up and soak up toxins. After a few days when I felt better I went to a local head shop and talked the owner who is an older hippy type guy thats pretty much seen and done it all. He said that either it was some strangely potent THC that was abnormal and somehow had an effect on my nervous system OR it was laced with ROACH SPRAY. I guess some idiot dealers do this to make the weed like LSD...which is what my trip felt like and I only took one huge bong hit. That stuff is toxic and could be killer. If you smoked a lot I would see a doctor right away. You cant get in trouble for it legally. You have rights when you speak to you physician. For the next 48 hours I think you should drink a ton of water and eat lots of good food and SLEEP A LOT! Try to relax and read or watch tv just do something where you have to focus and see how you feel. If you dont feel back to normal by day 2 go see your doc. They might want to give you and MRI or a tox screen to see what you ingested. If you are worried about money or your family then tell doctor. They will probably help you out. Good luck.

    It sounds like this "weed" you smoked was tainted with another substance. Of course, it is not normal because pure weed doesn't usually do this to people. If you try it again, make sure that the source is reliable.

    It could be that the culprit is the Salvia. I've heard of a few people's experiences with it and none of them were good...

    • yea this stuff was probably laced. I got some weed once that I suspect may have had something in it. it was nothing like this so I don't know, maybe I was just trippin

  • i think the salvia may have caused you to no longer be able to smoke pot. i have a friend who did salvia, had a bad trip on it, and now cannot smoke pot because he hears insane voices in his head whenever he smokes even a little bit of weed. A tiny bit can now set him off into becoming totally schizo for a while. if i were you i would seek medical attention. Also, the weed could have been laced

    its all in your head now. the same thing happened to me.

    just relax.
    you'll be fine :)
    yes, weed most likely did it -- obviously. just don't smoke anymore. and just remember that panic attacks are all in your head. you CREATE them.

    i've got panic disorder and it always worries me to smoke, because i never know how it will affect me. you'd be surprised at all the things that simply anxiety could make you feel.

    Just a bad trip man, no matter what it was even if it was laced. Your reality is all in your head man. Everything you think and feel is all in your head. Just focus concentrate dont dwell on the bad things and youll be straight. You just have to learn how to control your mind

    • probably true. however, i think this goes beyond a normal "bad trip" from smoking weed and who knows he could need medical attention if this keeps going on for much longer

    I am a former heavy smoker. I was near the best of the best at the forefront of engineering super potent marijuana as compassion acts in california were gaining momentum. I cannot figure why this happens out. I got it the other day, for the 1st time in years, and i only smoke but maybe once a month now.. But one thing I am certain of, were the repeats. This would happen to me once, then, again when an x factor was brought back. for example, it happened every time i smoked out at this one really gorgeous dealers apartment.. it happened everytime i used (3of3 times) a friends 24" jbd mothership bong, even though I had my own.. and also I believe that it happens to me in just a slightly less intense way when i smoke in someone's house or room or whatever thats very cluttered, around people i dont know well, and when hungry, or drinking a lot of coffee/caffiene.. hope this jars some insight with someone, or puts a puzzle peice in place

    hey man read your post and actually signed up to tell you this. I think it is completely normal what you are going thru considering you do smoke pot/salvia/hallucinogens regularly.I had been tripping on all sorts of shit until i gave up few years back.I have one advice i can give you , stay of the pot cos looks like your system is giving it back to you. I have friends over 30 who get sudden panic attacks due to years of abuse and still haven't given up on pot.Point being some gyz can do it for all eternity , some gyz can do it for a few years.And the other more important advice i can give you is have beers , have lots of beers for a few weeks.. you'll feel much much better. The hangover is a very much handleable scene than a smoked psyche scene.

    P.S...I didnt smoke for a year and 1/2 after that. Now I do it on the rarest of occasions and only regs and only if I trust who it came from and I know someone who has already smoked some and been fine. You are right though, not worth it.

  • That's completely NOT normal.

    There's something else wrong with you.
    You should go see your doctor.
