Temporarily went blind

Recently I picked up an 1/2 ounce of Jack Carrera, its str8 up really good quality headies. Today during break from work I smoked 2 bowls witha friend. During the second bowl I took a MONSter hit and it got me quite high. 10 mins later we went to a pizza parlor and suddenly everything was vibrating and spots appeared on my vision. I was unbelievably baked, and I was paranoid because I had to go back to work in 5 minutes. So I ran out of the shop. By this point I had completely lost my sight and was running around in the direction i thought my work was. i was so fucked up and couldnt see what i was doing. I crossed 2 intersections and somehow didnt die. I was stumbling everywhere and then suddenly before I reached my work the high calmed down big time and I regained my vision and went back tot eh pizza store and ate with my friend who was sitting there laughing because I was so calm now compared to before. At the time it was scary as fuck but after I regained sight it was amazing.

Has this happened to anyone else and how do I avoid losing my sight without compromising the intensity of the high?

i beleive its called a headrush, well thats wut i call it atleast, it happens whenever yu stand up after sitting to long, or take a madddd hooot, usualy only lasts a few seconds, yu see the dots nd shit nd simply sitting down nd resting yur eyes for a minute shuld pretty much get rid of it.

ya but i dont think this wa s anormal headrush lol, like i went completely blind for atleast 2 mintues str8

LOL!

Nope, never happened to me (I don't think XD) Every time I get some good bud, I don't smoke it at work, I wait for my total chill time with a few good people to smoke with. at that time, I'm either hotboxing a car, or I'm chillin inside house, so I don't really have any opportunities for a headrush :P

i went blind for 10 minutes once, because of an anxiety attack... (could very well be what happened to you) first my vision went to the colored dots, like when you lose too much blood, and then it just started slowly fading out, i started walking backwards to a wall, hit the corner and just fell down cuz i was freaking out, broke out in a cold sweat that soaked my clothes, felt really weak and shakey... nearly passed out too..

all of those are symptoms i always get when i get an anxiety attack, except for the blindness... iw as fully awake, i was talking to people i just couldn't see, at all....

Yeah that happens to me when I take huge hits from my pipe. It usually only lasts a few seconds, and I see little black dots everywhere. If you don't want that to happen, try not to take such big hits.

hell yeah two days ago tht happened to me but i was already standin up. everything went blank and shit homeboy tried to hand me the eyedrops but he said i wasnt even stickin my hand towards him... it lasted a good 10 minutes

I was not smoking but I did get a crazy head rush like you described. I was being scorned by my dad and I got the average head rush but it quickly became worse. My legs felt weak and as if I had not eaten all day and then the colds sweats came over me. I ended up having to sit on the ground because I still could not see and was afraid I was going to pass out. Its only ever happened to me like that the one time.

I have had a "head rush" or anxiety attack just like that. My dad was grilling me about peeping me into the bathroom window when the hot 19-year-old exchange student from Japan that was living with was taking a shower. I did it, and lied about it, of course.

I was lying in bed when he was talking to me. I felt extremely weak, my vision got blurry and I saw blue and spots over my eyes, if I was standing up when he confronted me, I would've fainted. I felt so guilty.

So, maybe it was the overwhelming intensity of the high that triggered a type of anxiety attack. I hope the weed didn't make you blind.

Also, I want to know, when you were blind, did you have your eyes open or closed? For some reason, I just imagined you running around with your eyes closed.

You almost passed out. Was it really hot outside? or maybe you had a little bit of a lack of oxygen to the brain due to the big hit. That can cuase you to almost pass out. When you pass out everything starts turning in and out of black.
