Strange weed reaction from a veteran smoker

I have smoked weed on and off for the past 7 or so years and I have never had a bad reaction. Lately, I have been feeling really good about myself and when I smoke I have felt relaxed and happy. For the past 5 consecutive nights I have been smoking very high quality weed either out of a gravity bong or blunt, and every time I felt great afterwards.

So tonight I was at a party in good spirits, and a girl wanted to smoke so I decided it wouldn't hurt to take a few puffs of her presumably mediocre weed and relax a bit. So we shared a small bowl, and immediately after I felt good. But then after smoking a couple of cigarettes (per usual) I started to lose myself- I felt like my mind was numb, my heart started racing, and I was sweating bullets. The girl smoked an additional bowl without me and was totally normal, so my pride motivated me to muscle through it and act like nothing was wrong. But for the rest of the night I felt really weak and out of it. I asked her if it was laced with anything, but she said it wasn't and that I probably just hadn't eaten enough carbs. But I had eaten a filling burger and fries about an hour or two before, and I have never had issues smoking on an empty stomach before.

What happened to me?

    ya man i am a 5 year veteran and had the exact same experience. It WAS NOT laced. It's called anxiety/panic attack. VERY common for people who smoke a lot. It can come out of no where.

    Did you drink any alcohol that night? The only time weed does that to me is if there is alcohol involved. So I don't drink, only smoke. (20 year veteran)

    even if that shit was laced the effects you are describing are PANIC through and through. Its stronger than any drug. I know this all to well unfortunatly

    Some "mediocre" weed is laced with K2 (JWH-018 or other JWH compounds) to increase it's potency. I see people lacing brick weed with it and not telling people they sold it to. K2 makes me high, but in others it increases heart rate, causes anxiety, and creates headaches. Probably was laced with K2.

    It was probably an indica strain. I react badly to it too and for some reason a little bit can get you high after you have smoked nothing besides predominantly sativa strands for extended periods. The high is always more body intensive and its very hard to keep control of thoughts. Just stick to the good stuff. cheap weed often comes from sketchy people and some has weed spray on it that will give you parkinson's disease.

    Different types of weed have different effects. Some get you stoned, some get you high, and some make you sweat and feel like shit. The girl was probably fine because she was used to smoking that type of weed, if you're more used to weed that gets you stoned, that would be why it affected you like that.

    And let me correct that when I asked her if it was laced she said she didn't know. Then she tried to pass it off as not enough carbs, but I have smoked lots of weed and never had a reaction like that, carbs or no carbs.

    Let me clarify a few points

    1) I am generally not an anxious person
    2) Over the past month I have felt great and more relaxed and calm than ever. I have not experienced any hint of anxiety over that period, especially not when I smoke weed.
    3) It was two small puffs. I didn't even anticipate getting high.

    I had only had 1 drink at that point and hold my liquor well. My first reaction was "man, I gotta stop drinking" before I realized that I was almost entirely sober and did not have nearly enough weed or alcohol in my system to feel weird.

    After doing some due diligence, I am almost certain it was laced with something. PCP seems to be the best bet but I can't say for sure.

    Just drink a cup of sweet tee or take a bit of Adderall (amphetamine) and all the anxiety will go away

      amphetamines making the anxiety GO AWAY? wtf have you been smoking friend? far out...

      anyway laced weed is VERY uncommon. think about it, why would a dealer put another drug which they presumably paid good money for (or could sell for good money) onto weed which they sell for the same price? it doesn't make economical sense.

      it's just that every weed plant produces different levels of different cannabinoids, and different people react differently to these. different.

    I've been having some strange reactions lately too. I think it depends on the strand... and yeah, myabe the empty stomach too. Trying to lose weight, so I haven't been eating as much!

    I've been smokin for at least as long and can relate. Sometimes the weed in social situations can make me have similar symptoms and this started after many years of smoking, just anxiety in my opinion.

    I say don't listen to the people telling you it was a panic attack or some ridiculous shit like that. It was laced and thats that. I've been smoking for about 6 years and have smoked with some oldheads...like hippies from the 60's and 70's and my friends mom. They told me stories about times where they felt out of place, panicking, anxious, and overall felt like shit. It turns out people do lace weed with coke or dope or pcp, and they do make a profit because some people love that rush that they get from smoking that shit...do yourself a favor and stick with the real stuff.

    That shit affects your brain. Guys lose the freakin' drugs. I did and everything is better.

  • Smoking weed, no matter the quality can cause after prolonged usage, anxiety and paranoia.

    But even though she said it wasn't laced, it probably was. I mean she couldn't have known for sure it wasn't.
