What happened to me when i started hallucinating after smoking weed?

Am I the only one who's been in this situation? Last night was the worst. I started smoking the same time as my big brother in march '10 & I gradually loved the feeling. After my tendency to smoke would be when ever it was available. Around july I would smoke large amounts of varying weed types. Once '11 hit I started living with my sister who is a constant smoker so I smoked constantly. I was hanging out with my brother the1st joint was great but when I got to the 2nd I had muscle spasms & my throat felt dry & closed. At 1st there was buzzing in my back. I said "hey brother you feel that?". While laying on the bed back against the wall I started rocking & I would find myself not on the wall then I would lean back onto the wall. Then the buzzing migrated from my back to my whole body I suddenly felt numb yet all I could feel were vibrations I panicked grabbing my brother screaming "I'm dying I'm dying am I dead am I gonna die I'm dead I'm dead" the room spun really fast & I saw faces over me saying "are you alright?" their words moved in slow motion I saw events from my life and psychadelic colors & symbols in front of my face it was as if I was in a kaleidoscope faces turned into different shapes the music playing got extremely loud then slow. I thought I was posessed by a demon because as I got off of the bed & saw"myself" standing over me like the life/spirit had been sucked out of me.I got off of the bed embarrased but scared for my life ran into the bathroom looking in the mirror thinking "I'm not alive I'm just a mere ghost" I really started panicking when the feeling wouldn't go away despite the fact that I was splashing water on my face, drinking it trying to feel alive. I could still taste & smell but I felt dead & numb like I wasn't real. My brother grabbed me as I shook my head screaming "I am gonna die take me to the hospital I don't wanna die I don't wanna die call the ambulance cause something is wrong with me!" He kept reassuring me that none of these events were really occuring and I was just imagining them because I was extremely high so he made me get fresh air & I instantly felt better knowing that I was alive but still having doubts. As i walked to get air and food I still saw everything shaking & thought that when I saw myself out of my body I had died & was just a spirit following my brother. My legs kept shaking & life looked like a movie to me. Finally we went to his mom's house & I layed down but couldn't sleep & in the dark I saw shapes & flashing lights so I kept the light on. I drifted in & out of sleep because of my fear of dying then i passed out & woke up unable to move like my brain wasn't sending my joints the message to move. It wasn't spiked because I was the only one hallucinating. My brother told me he had a similar experience. Can anyone explain to me what happened? IIN?

    I know exactly what happened to you because this happened to me 2 or 3 times in my life. You had a panic attack.

    I almost don't want to write about it because I don't want to bring back the bad memories, but I want you to know you are not alone. I was not a frequent smoker, but used to smoke at least once or twice a week. never more than four times a week, but I knew how to control my highs. I had been fine for 3 years of smoking weed. It wasn't until after I started dropping (taking e at raves) that my predisposition for panic attacks were somehow were "unlocked," so that when I smoked weed, I would get them. You didn't write about dropping, so it may have been different for you. I know people get panic attacks even without any drug use, so maybe, for different people with varying genetic compositions, different drugs makes those predisposed to panic attacks more likely to get them.

    Anyways, it is beyond describable, the feeling. No one else can understand the feeling unless they themselves have experienced it. You truly feel like you're going crazy or about to die. I locked myself in the bathroom just as you did, looked in the mirror, and splashed water on my face to know I was alive and physically there. The person in the mirror looking back at me was not who I thought it was, or, it just wasn't me. But my eyes said they were. My mind played tricks on me, and I felt like I was losing my sanity. I pictured myself being carried away in a straight jacket, pinned to a bed. It was some sort of outer-body experience. I did not feel like I was in my body. My friends made me unlock the door and talk to them, it wasn't until I had human contact that I slowly started to regain my composure. I slept it off.

    Sound familiar? You are definitely not alone my friend.

      But yeah, I've stopped smoking then (gradually), and so should you. This was your brain's response to weed, and look, it was not a good one. Your brain is warning you. Get off that stuff.

        I'm really going to refrain from smoking because before weed was my stress reliever and relaxer but now its the opposite its causes me to flip out. On superbowl Sunday a group of friends, my brother & I got together and of course there was weed involved so I smoked I don't know how many pulls but I noticed that when I take pulls from more than one joint I have weird reactions because after this happened I was frightened to ever smoke again but eventually I did but I had no reaction then on Sunday after about an hour passed after I took pulls from three joints I began to feel extremely tired then I just layed out on the couch just then the same stupidity started to occur first I heard loud footsteps over me like the ceiling was about to cave in & the tv got extremely loud and I almost told them to turn it down until I realized that I was hallucinating again this time I played it cool though & the feeling didn't last for long I didn't see any shapes & the room didn't spin just a sped up heart rate and extra loud sounds. Weed is just not for me.

          anytime you hear crazy loud noises its spirits, its not a hallucination kus ive been high and heard incredibly loud tv static noises. and if its severe it could be demonic control as this to me while i was driving.

    I think that your experience is very possible, dont hate on the ganj, just smoke less next time & no worries. Just continue to live the life you are in, alive and breathing :)

    So much uneducated yammering on this site. Let's see if I can keep track of this. (though I'm sure any points I miss will be quickly jumped upon by the ignorant)

    Anyone who has followed research of cabbanis in the past few decades know it doesn't hurt you, kill your brain cells or turn you into an axe murderer (there was actually propaganda in the 30s that claimed that to be true), and it does treat a myriad of medical conditions. Not to mention, our brains are wired with cannabinoid receptors, and our bodies produce natural cannibinoids as well. Some people even have cannabinoid deficiency ;p

    Second, this is something the unfamiliar need to learn about drugs... There is no cut and paste "this drug does that", drugs affect everyone differently.

    And weed doesn't make you trip unless it's laced.

    Out of time or this would be more in depth

    theres nothing wrong with smoking pot, but if it gave u a trip like that im guessing it was laced maybe with dust or some shit just be careful who u get ur weed off if u dont want that happening but by any means do not quit

    Is there a possibility that the weed you smoked could have been laced with something? A body buzz isn't so unusual and sometimes weed can make you paranoid. Also it is possible to have a panic attack when you're stoned despite the fact that there are people who use prescription marijuana for anxiety. There are people who don't really care for weed but I really suspect there was something wrong with that shit. Ever see the movie Training Day? Or how about Friday when Smokey talked about ending up in that pigeon coop or was it a chicken coop I can't remember. Either way nobody could get him outta there but his Mama.
