Sick after smoking pot

It's like this. From the time I was 19 until I was 24 i smoked MJ all day everyday. I knew where it came from how it was handled from start to finish. One night I smoked a bowl and started having a feeling of too high. I shrugged it off and went on. It only got worse. In the end I had a spasm like feeling in my chest, right on my sternum, and the lightheaded feeling you get when you hold your breath to long. It wasn't a panic attack and it wasn't laced with anything. Does anyone have a clue as to what happened? I haven't smoked in 6 years and probably never will again, but I still get that spasm feeling sometimes even though I don't smoke. I don't even Smoke Cigs. I have a hyatil hernia near the area, but that isn't it either.

    lmao, just sounds like you whiteyed. Whiteying happens when there isn't enough sugar in your bloodstream while smoking, causing you to have varying effects including dizzyness, lightheadedness, vomiting etc

    I've seen and delt with it loads of times; all you have to do is consume sugar asap; drinking coke and eating a bar of chocolate or sweeties does the trick.

    That's one reason why we get the munchies when we smoke :D Trust, I know what I'm saying. I'm a seasoned smoker myself, my brother is a complete pothead (too much so but whatever), and both of my parents have been smoking responsibly all their life. It seems to me that alot of people quit after their first whitey because they think they're going to die or some balls like that. Everything in moderation!

    Something like this happened to me just last night. I not a regular smoker.. just 3 or 4 times a year. Last night i was having panic attacks so i thought it would be a good way to chill out. So i got some from my brother who bought it from some guy he knows. anyways, i smoked 2 bowls and about an hour later i smoked a blunt. After about 10 mins i was dripping in sweat. I went through an entire roll of paper towels whipping myself off. I couldnt feel if i was hot or cold... all i could feel was that my body was pulsating. I ran to the bathroom and threw up... and peed myself in the process. this happened twice. I ended up passing out on the bathroom floor bc it was cold and felt so good even though i was laying in a pool of my own sweat. i woke up after i dont know how long and i was still sweating but not nearly as bad and i was SOOO cold from being on the bathroom floor. I got up and went to the couch and passed out sleeping. i woke up this morning and felt fine. My roommate is out of town for the next week an a half. I thought i was going to die on that bathroom floor and nobody would find me until he came home.

    If you haven't smoked in a while, then you have to admit that your body wasn't ready for it.
    or It might have been some amazing buds...i mean potency is stronger than ever.

    Oh man I had a bad trip too, I was throbbing and I couldn't breathe. I thought if I took a big breath my heart would explode. Eventually I threw up after getting my limbs back from the heaviness. That was the first and last time I will EVER smoke.

    Though I must say, I've never heard of flashback spasms O_o Have you seen a doctor? If there's nothing physically wrong, then there's a chance it could be something psychological, like whenever you see or hear something that reminds you of weed or that day in particular, you'll get spasms because your mind has subconciously linked the two. Only a theory though :D

    Anyone know why I'm vomiting after smoking weed, I've smoked almost everyday for past 4 years but this morning got up as normal went for a spliff, 2 minutes after smoking I felt really sick had to go toilet and be sick, i felt instantly better afterwards but don't understand why, it wasn't a whitey because I've have had a few in past and know exactly what they feel like, don't think it's laced with anything had quite a bit of it and sharing but I'm the only one it happens too?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

    Could be a panic attack. I wouldn't rule that out. I smoked for EVER and had to stop because I kept having that feeling that you are describing. Tight chest and choking feeling with my heart racing. Turned out to be panic attacks.

    You don't have a mental problem. See a doctor about your sickness, that's not normal. It's silly and weird. It doesn't make sense...

    Happened to me, too. I always thought I was the only person who ever threw up from taking a drug that cures nausea.

    The body is just a system and the system isn't perfect. Stuff goes haywire sometimes, even with stuff you've done a million times before.

    Think hard about what you had to eat and drink that day, though, because cannabis and ginseng react badly to one another. Almost every soft drink produced nowadays has ginseng in it, so it's pretty easy to get a bad reaction and not even realize how.

    If they just sold this stuff at CoGo's then we wouldn't have these serious health risks, among the young, esp.

    I have smoked for a couple years almost everyday and i had my first bad experience the other day. I went out with this dude and we had never hung out before out of school. Well he loaded up a bowl and we blazed then went into a bar. Well after about 10 minutes I started to wig out and started to hypervenolate. I had to run out of the place, im pretty sure the weed had some lsd in it or someting. I dont think ill smoke for a while.

    If you don't smoke anymore and you still get it it probably has nothing to do with the weed

    Quit smoking pot. It's for losers. Your parents "smoke responsibly?" That's an oxymoron. All pot-smoking does is cause memory loss and dumbassedness and laziness. I used to smoke it. It just makes people stupid and believe they are thinking profound thoughts while high when they're really purely stupid thoughts. Friends of mine once thought they had come up with the most profound philosophical thought in the world, so they wrote it down. When they weren't high anymore the next day, they read it and it said something stupid like "if you come to a bridge, cross it." I know many people who are long-term smokers and I really wish they would stop before any further damage is done because their short-term memory is gone. They repeat themselves like Alzheimer's patients. When you're 50, you'll be repeating yourself like a dumbass and won't be able to talk fast if your life depends on it.

  • It sounds like that particular stuff was laced with pcp {angel dust] those effects are permanent.So make sure you get some natural stuff thats why you are all messed up dont blame the weed...

      It was all natural. Like i said, i knew it from seed to harvest to drying. By the way, pot is just another drug whether we want to admit it or not. And like any other drug it affects people differently. I just happen to one of the unlucky ones.
