ok, so im a newbie to weed. i got interested in it and tried it for the first time about it a while ago. i got some from a freind, and he said it was realy good weed. he is a heavy weed smoker, and he said that 1 bowl of it got him stoned out of his mind. anyway, i got it. went home, and had a couple tokes. after my third or fouth good hit, it hit me. i started feeling realy weird, and my heard started beating realy fast. i could feel it beating in my chest, and that was scary. also my hands and feet started to shake. my legs were shaking pretty bad. the shaking went away after a little bit, but my racing heart lasted for hours. i got realy freaked out, and scared. i had panik attacks. i tried to eat something and i couldent. i wasent hungry at all. my mouth also got realy dry. i tried to go to bed, but i was to scared that i was going to die or something. i felt i wasent breathing in unuff air. and got paranoid. and when i tried to lay down i had to get up because everything felt realy weird. anyway after about 3 hours it went away and i was fine. i told myself i would never do it agean, because i had such a bad exsperiance. well i decided i would try it a couple more times. i did it 2 more times and the same thing happend. now i havent done any since. im just wondering if you think it was laced with something. the guy i got it from moved and i dont know his number, so i havent asked him if it was. anyway one of my other friends said he thot from what i said, that it sounded like the weed i had might have had a little bit of coke or something in it. what do you think? i might try some other stuff soon, to see if the same thing happens. i think it was coke, because after i took my first few hits my hear would start racing. does this normaly happen? thanks for any help or advice.

No, you just got high. All of the things you described have happened to me, my first 2 times were terrible, and I swore I'd never to do it again, but on the 3rd time, I knew from my previous 2 experiences that it eventually went away, so I just tried to force myself to enjoy the high. After that, each time I smoked I started LOVING it more and more.
You just have to know it will go away, and try to have fun, then you will like it alot.
Also, people panic while high for several possible reasons. If it's their first time, they won't know what to expect, and all of a sudden they start feeling things they've never felt before ever in their lives, so since they're not used to this totally different feeling (Since no description in the world can prepare you for what it will feel like to get high, if you've never been high before, descriptions are impossible to truly understand). Or, if they are used to getting high, but get ahold of some really good weed, or smoke more than they've ever smoked before, the effects will be alot stronger, and they will get strange feelings that they haven't experienced before, so they will freak out.
But, I highly doubt it was laced. People wouldn't lace weed without your knowledge with coke. They could be making money off of the coke, they wouldn't waste it on someone who didn't want it. Usually the only time weed is laced without knowledge, is if's really shitty weed, or fake weed. They lace it with harmful chemicals just to make it give you some sort of effect.
Best of luck in the future, and remember to relax and try to enjoy whatever is going on while you're high.
Peace,

ROFL, if there was a guide for using cannabis they should put a notice that says "everyone thinks they're weed is laced the first few times". Dude, me and you were just alike and if I got over it, trust me, you will too. You got fucked up, thats all same thing happened with me. Just keep on doing it, your bodies not used to being high yet but when it does get used to it you'll be able to experience the beuty of being fucked up without fear :D..nothing like it man, keep tokin! :stoned:

Also if it was laced you'd probably have intense visual hallucinations and audible distortions.

I liken your first few times being high as a baby's first few days in the world. Everything is foreign and new, you will experience a hightening in your senses like very few other activities can provide. With continued use you will find that relaxing and allowing yourself to be at peace are key. Also, as with any psychedelic substance, two of the most important factors to your experience are set and setting. Weed tends to take any emotion or mental state of being and amplify it. So naturally your first few attempts will be underlined with some anxiety and apprehension due to the newness of the experience. If you smoke around people that you don't trust, or that you have a bad history with, or if your parents would disapprove then most likely you will not enjoy it as opposed to being surrounded in a safe environment with people who you trust and love.

Yes, your heart rate does increase, but not even as much as moderate exercise can provide, the only difference is that with weed minute details are so much more exagerated, so it may actually feel like your heart is about to explode. That's where the key to weed, as with many other drugs, come into play. You must force yourself to remember that you are still in control of yourself. Do not let it control you and it won't. You're not going to do anything you don't want to do while high. In fact, many long-time partakers often wax poetically on the initial days of smoking, due to this reckless and new feeling. But for me I find that with continued use, I have learned to master my "high self" and that's when I began to truly enjoy and appreciate what it can do. Reading on these message boards is always a good idea, as there are many veterans and like-minded individuals with decades of experience who are more than willing to help out someone new to our kindred plant. Here is what I would suggest: try listening to some music that you enjoy, or read through the threads and get some music that others enjoy while high. Write down some of your thoughts. Watch fantasia. Cook your favorite foods before you smoke and lo and behold when the munchies inevitably kick in, you'll have a feast waiting for you to dig in to.

For me, trying out new activitie when high is like doing them for the first time. That's one of the aspects that really draws me to the experience. You'll be offered the chance to experience life from a completely new point of view. But in the end, if you truly don't enjoy it then simply don't do it. Weed, like other facets of life, is in the end not for everyone. But I would say at the least give yourself a chance to get more accustomed to the experience before you eliminate it from your hobbies.
