greening out?

[HASHBERRY]

is it something to be embarassed about?

[Purple Banana]

I've greened out before, in the company of friends- I took a rather large steamroller hit for the first time, and started coughing and almost threw up... It was hard because I couldn't breathe, and I started getting panicky, breathing faster, wheezing, and I passed out for a few minutes. I was fine; it was embarassing and crappy, but my friend greened out on the next hit because he chose not to believe me :stoned: It's very rare that people actualy hear this term, only a few friends of mine use it occasionally.

It happens to the best of us, don't sweat it, and welcome to the boards :)

[Spellbound]

I didn't know what it was until now. Thanks for letting me know there is a word for this occurance. ^_^ Personally, I haven't but I'm still new.

[CultureCherryPopper]

I've never passed out, but I've definitely booted from coughing too hard. My buddy hit the deck after a wake n bake session, just keeled over while standing in the forest, faceplanting in the mud. He said that the world was too white. That's why I'm always careful with wake n bakes.

[DreadConches]

I thought you meant admitting you smoke, like coming out of the weed closet.
I hate throwing up. I would rather feel sick than throw up. Once when my friend was on vacation he said we could hang out at his house and swim and if we could get in we could chill inside for a bit. So we were hanging out in the pool and I started to feel really really sick. I ended up drying off and laying with my head down in the grass. Other times I have started to cough and thought I was gonna vomit but held it back.

[Candnloveweed420]

never heard this term before....and nothing to be ashamed of. you hit that shit hard man! you should be congratulated...haha ya that would suck though, just because throwing up and passing out is no fun at all. just be safe mayne

[zbudz4life]

during my childhood, i remember people intentionally doing that kinda stuff

i cant understand why, they'd wanna though

[jimmy8778]

they do it cause they think it is fun, sometims, the same reason why many of us started smoking green in the first place, its just that they explored a boundry that is weird and a little dangerous.

[GeorgiaKush]

I have felt sick from smoking bud once or twice in my life, but I blame it on low blood sugar. If you haven't had anything to eat for the day or something like that, I think you're much more likely to get ill or pass out.

[jeepboi]

this is hilarious that its posted!

Ill tell you why.


This morning around 3 am I go out on the porch to smoke I took my cheap plastic bong and took a couple hits then packed another bowl because the previous bowl got a water drop from out of nowhere and ruined it. So second bowl first hit (huge hit) BAM! i come too laying on the concrete and some gravel my head is wet my arm hurts and my bong is on the ground and the fresh bud recently packed soaking wet.

The best part i have a huge not so deep cut on my arm, my head bleeding a little. and a waste of bud. BUT its all good. Im fine and just thought about how funny this was. This is the second time i passed out from this bud i got. at 350 an oz I am happy that its so strong that i passed out due to its potency.

well im off to smoke again to dull the pain of my head and arm.

[jeepboi]

Greening out is just passing out i thought from smoking bud?

whats up with the vomit?

[GeorgiaKush]

I've always thought that passing out was due to some other factor, usually not related to the bud, or it's potency. I don't know if this has been researched or whatever, just personal experience. I've seen it happen with headies, as well as some regular grade. It's probably just situational.

[gocryemokid]

one time this chick i was smoking with in the woods took a fat rip, exhaled. said she felt like her world was spinning. i said :stoned:me too:stoned: like an idiot, 3 seconds later she was violently seizing on the ground. Never saw a seizure before and I was blazed so I flipped. Shit was NUTS! Never smoking in there again, or with her...

[MokshaMedicine]

Well I remember this one pretty bad occasion. A first timer wanted to smoke my friend's 18" Roor. He took a pretty decent rip. It hit him and he had to sit down and relax. Well he stood up and just fell straight over hitting his face on basement pavement. An ambulance had to be called. Pretty whacked.

Damn dude. Are you a new smoker or have a very low tolerance?

I seem to have been cursed with a very high tolerance from the beginning... I don't smoke all that much, maybe 2 bowls a day and only for a couple years, but I never even get "uncomfortably high" much less pass out, no matter what I am smoking...

I still love cannabis and use it to help me sleep, so not complaining (all that much :) ) here, just answering the post, no this has not happened to me, but please please mr. post man!

[jeepboi]

Dont think it was tolerance just took a huge hit and bam i was out.

[HASHBERRY]

hahahaha
well i've been smoking for ages now,only the good stuff tho
and well that was my first time greening out
hahah i didnt even feel sick tho? i took a fucking rank ass hit and when i was exhaling,i puked!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:wtf:

this is absolutely correct. i was in amsterdam this weekend an in the first coffeeshop we visited my friend greened out. we rolled and "amsterdam strenth" joint and it completely fucked him up as he hadn't eaten anything all day.

it wasn't good for him but for the rest of us it was fucking funny. he just closed his eyes and started swaying around completely monged out. i couldn't help him as i was crippled with laughter.

needless to say i carried on smoking until 4am.

[Funkmaster H.O.H.N.]

I've almost greened out before, took an enormous rip from the grav bong I made from a 3L soda bottle, that was not a good idea...

[cman20118ut]

one time i had a hit off of some killer and i knew i was about to cough so before i could turn my head i coughed in my girlfriends face and covered her in spray from it...i couldnt quit coughing for like 5 mins...then i was bitched out for 30 mins...it sucks but happens to everyone

[purplehaze666]

OK this is goin to sound reely fuked up but i swear this is all real. i came back home from college yesterday and found some pot in my closet (i dunt no from wen could be reely old) so anyways i make a homemade bong and smoked like a gram of it, i used to be a reely avid smoker and a gram on a bong wouldnt usually even touch me but since iv been gone ive only drank cause i reely wanted to well in school (im failing by the way) So after i smoked i felt prty nice and had a body high which is cool but then i started feelin dizzy and shit and this was at lik 3 am in the mornin. my heart was racing uncontrobbly and felt as if it was goin to burst. i couldnt move my arms or legs and i felt my self goin def. i couldnt breathe properly and every breath felt like a last breath. i thought if i jus fell alseep then it would all go away, i was dead wrong. as soon as my eyes shut the nightmare began. i started seeing all these wierd things in my mind, like clowns are ferris wheels and just abnormal shapes. then i started to accelarate through a tunnel and i could hear the devil talking to me of how my life is shit and abuot me spending an eternity in hell, and i couldnt open my eyes though i was still awake. i could feel my heart slowing down to a point to where i couldnt feel a heart beat anymore. the devil kept talkin and i could see hell in my mind. i kept beggin him to give me another chance or at least let me see the universe (something i wanted to do if i ever died) so then my mind started to wonder, i saw stars in space and felt lik i was floating, it was the most amazing thing i ever saw in my life it was just in infinite black with small stars everywhere, then a light flashed infront of me, an almost blinding light, around me were gates and everything was just increadibly white. i was conciosus this whole time and thought that since initially i saw the devil that this was a trap before i die so with every fibre in my body i awoke my self to find out that i was sweating shaking almost seizure like. i went to the washroom and found i was green, my skin was so pale and and my eyes seemed dead. it was 5 am in the mornin and this "dream" occured for 2 hours, i went to watch tv in fear of it happening again and every time i would fall alseep it would happen again, the same process my heart almost not beating , inable to move my arms and legs and the same visions, the same thought of dying, i remember i felt my body shut down like the visions stopped and even though it was dark it become more dark lik a new dark just replaced the old one i couldnt hear the tv anymore and i just lay there. after a period of time i guess i awoke again only to find out that just 3 minutes have passed which felt lik an infinity in darkness. whats kind of ironic is when i turnded on the tv south park came on and it was the one where mr. mackey talked about why marijuanna was bad, i laugh about it now but at that time i thought it was a sign from god. i knew i couldnt sleep so i made my self stay awake the whole nite unitl 9 am in the morning wen i eventually passed out. now i jus woke up and tryin to find some answers. Could this all be just cause i greened out or is there a deeper meaning to this experience? and also what if i initially jus gave in after the first experience would i have died?

goddamn yoo,, i dont even know,, that shits insane,, ,, but only you could know if it means something to you

What did you tell the paramedics? haha or did they even ask?


(edit) o shit i just realized that post was almost a year old

[groceryboat2316]

Yeah, so I was smoking with some friends and we decided it would be fun if my friend took a hit but didn't clear it until I got it and then I would hit and clear it myself. Needless to say, this was not the best decision I have ever made. I had already smoked two bowls by myself right before then so I was pretty high. To make matters worse, we went to some swings that we usually go to while high and then drove to Chevron. We had to pull into a neighborhood so I could puke out the side of the car.
I'm not sure what it was that got me because I've smoked more than that before and felt just fine. It might have been because I smoked it so quickly or the motion of the swings and the car or I could have just been sick from my huge Thanksgiving dinner. Who knows. It was terrible though. I thought my head was collapsing in on itself and had accepted death when I vomited and felt fine enough to eat Churros and Jack in the Box tacos. Fucking reefers...

[JackdaWack]

It's usually from lack of oxygen to the brain, since ur forcing so much smoke into your lungs, and barely if any O2 is present. This can notably be made worse from getting up and going somewhere, the best solution when ur head feels lite is to get your breathing under control and u should start to feel better. I found this out the hard way, i took a huge hit froma bong, and damn was i gone. I got really light headed and started to get nervous, heart rate was insane, and i got up to get some water and i felt sitting still was torture. Needless to say that was a big mistake cause i started to black out and loose all motor skills. Next time just pop a seat and try and breath normal, the only thing that helps is getting oxygen back to ur brain. try closing ur eyes too, and take steady breaths, u may not enjoy it the first couple mins, but trust me its better then anything else at that point.

[MetalheadToker]

well the first time i really got blazed with bong i continuously Passed out and woke up again.i did it like 8 times.
i stood up and walked and passed out on my kitchen floor.
Fucking terrible night
but it was fun:D

i know exactly how you feel man, this is my story. i was smoking at school with a bunch of friends when i first started smoking and it was reallly good bud for a beginner so we finished the joint and i went over and sat with a few girls and began to feel the effects, i was passing out on the girl next to me every couple of minutes then it came time to go to class, i went to the gym for sport class and passed out on the front steps. Went inside the gym and passed out on the ground while they were calling the roll and my teacher called my name and no answer so she goes oi are you on this earth and i reply, i dont even fuking know! my friends said i looked dead and they should call an ambulance and i refused and went to the bathroom, looked at my face and i saw purple rings around my eyes and my face was a dark green colour almost like the hulk, washed my face and it didnt help walked outside towards the baseball field to play some sport, halfway there i got the urge to vomit but luckily held it back and just stopped, i walked back towards the canteen and passed out behind it on a bench and a bunch of people walking by came to help me and the nurse got called and i got fucked over big time she called my parents and told them i was turning green infront of her, but while i was passed out i just remember talking to god telling him to help me and that i would never smoke again and then i started saying things like dear god, please kill me, put me out of my pain and i remember everything was all white but i kept getting woken up by people coming to check on me im suprised i didnt kill myself the way i was feeling now i have stopped smoking because it just got way out of control and pretty much destroyed my life, but what i want to know is how to avoid greening out because i will probably smoke like 3-4 times a year and i want to hit the shit hard but im petrified of greening out again even though i have greened since then i still havent figured a way how not to green out. anyone?

[JK2mys]

The first time I used a waterpipe I couldn't stop coughing for a good ten minutes and felt like my throat was going to turn itself out. I've had a few coughing/hacking sessions since, but have never passed out. At least, not yet. :)

[Kingkush15]

I greened out once. Keep in mind that I am still very new I have only smoked maybe 20 times or so. Anyway, after a late night of partying I crashed at a friend's house and in the morning we had a wake n bake session. We hit the grav bong a couple times and smoked 2 very fat bowls of a pipe (including the resin)...so I was fucked up. When I had to go home I was still ripped. I didn't want to go home while I was still so stoned because of my mom so they dropped me off in the desert about half a mile from my house. I sat there waiting to get sober again when the peak of my high began. I felt neaseous and everything was spinning. I threw up twice and after that I felt fine. Is this anything to be ashamed of? Remember I'm still pretty new and it was some fairly potent weed. Please give me some reassurance. /:
