Went TOTALLY blind =)

So, yesterday I had 2 spliffs with a friend up the park. Decent stuff, not sure how much was in them exactly but I've definately smoked more before. I was well rested and all that, only thing was I hadn't really eaten for a couple of days.

So, I'm having these 2, and we're both decently :stoned: :hippy:. We decide to go to subway and buy some sandwiches. We take this guy who doesn't toke along, great guy, much love to him. We walk there, and I'm feeling great, a bit light headed but thats it.

We get there, and I grab a bottle of Dr Pepper, start swigging it while we're ordering (rib sandwich :D ). I'm halfway through ordering, and my vision just GOES. From totally normal to just bright whiteness in 5 seconds flat. I try and finish my order normally, not cause a scene, but I'm absolutely fucked.

I tell sober guy to finish ordering, stumble over to the wall, feel my way along and end up sitting on a table. It takes about 10 minutes for me to be able to see at all, and 20 minutes for everything to stop looking like a television with the brightness turned up WAY too high.

Weird thing is, I felt totally fine. No headache, no sickness, nothing. I just couldn't see. I smoke weed most days, and I'd not even smoked that much this time; I've never had any visual effects before. What gives?

That happened to me the first time i got high. I'm guessing not enough oxygen to the brain. thats wierd tho how u didn't feel light headed. I can't remember if i was lightheaded at that time.

Anyways were ppl staring at u when u came down from ur blindness?

oh...maybe the CO2 from the soda caused some sorta reaction in your brain causing a depletion of oxygen. thats gotta be it. I stay away from carbonated drinks when i'm real high.

Place was pretty empty, couple of people there when I lost it but they'd cleared out by the time I was alright again =P Apart from that was the serving guys, but I'd been sitting down for ages like I said, so it was life as normal when I came to.

haha...did it feel like u were being pulled out of reality?
i damn near freaked out when it happened to me. but then again, it was my first time.

I thought it was REALLY cool, man :jointsmile: Freaky shit, though, I'd have died if I was sober

if it happened to me again i probably would think the same thing.

But I'm pretty sure stuff like that tends to keep first time smokers from smoking again.
I went ahead and smoked again the next day, cuz it made me more interested.

sounds like u got some laced shit or somethin, gotta stay away from that stuff man

The same exact thing happened to me once, I fell wicked hard a few times while I couldn't see, and when i finally got sat down for 10 or 15 minutes my vision turned slowy from blindness to tv fuzziness to finally my normal vision

Thats fucked up man...if my vision suddenly went then i imagine i'd go absolutely nuts and panis all over the place...cant stand the idea of losing my sights...
