Dizziness and feeling of fainting after smoking? Whats wrong with me?

u should never re use a homemade piece
i know that feeling cause a month ago i was chilling with my friends and all we had was a old bong made out of a bottle, it drew ok but it had a plastic after taste to it. it made my brain feel like it was overfilled with fluid. it hurt pretty bad.
the lesson is dont reuse anything homemade (unless the homemade piece is made properly)
obviously the one you used wasent made well.

:dance: bah plastic!!! I never smoke out of plastic well unless its a tempered plastic but thats different and its a bong so the smokes cooled before the plastic contact. :dance:

you sure you werent sittin too close to your XBOX360?

Yay welcome to the world of the uber stoned.

What you exsperienced is commonly known as a whitey.

You get these feeling from being extremely high on certain strains of the ganga. Its nothing really to worry about, ive had states when ive acctually passed out.
The strain of ganga can cause different effects, but most cause your blood pressure to drop a little.
The name whitey came because people go white in the face, as you do when ur about to pass out.

Enjoy it is all i can say. Cause once your body gets used to the ganga(and not form smoking it 12 or so times). Im talking like me ive been smokin the bud for about 5-6 years and only had this effect when i first started to smoke or when ive gone long periods of time without smoking it.

Its all part of the *HIGH*

Alright. Sounds reassuring. Its just that this doesnt last for a few minutes...this last for a good 1-2 hours. Ive noticed its worst when i sit down. Here is exacly what i did when this happened the other day:

Take a hit out of the gravity bong

Walked to the window blew smoke out window (My first one was a big hit...it was hurting my lungs and burning my throat so I was running to the window to blow the smoke out so it wouldnt smell in the house.)

Took another hit went to blow smoke out window.

Sat down on couch while watching TV and took 2-3 hits.

Immediatly after the feeling came over me and i felt like fainting and i felt dizzy and my head had a fucked up feeling for the next 1-2 hours.


Anyways whats funny is that i smoked the day before with the same cannabis and I had a nice pleasurebale high that lasted a while. I dunno if its the cannabis or the thing im smoking out of. This time it was a homemade waterfall gravity bong.

Oh well next time i guess i might try buying some from a different person. Or ill buy myself a pipe

I also just remember that everytime it happened i had also smoked the day before...could theyre be a connection between smoking consecutivly 2 days in a row?

ive had that feeling. but whats worse is taking someones prescriptions sleep meds and then smoking a bunch of weed. i did that and when i stood up to go inside i felt likie i might faint. so i walked to the couch and sat down. i went blind for about 30 seconds (felt like an hour) and then i was nearly def for another 10. fucking scary. my heart was at a near stand still barely pumping. freaked me out man.

I'm surprised noone has mentioned this....but....had you eaten before you smoked? I mean, you can get high with an empty stomach, but if you really get blazed, it hits you hard. One time I hadn't eaten or drank ANYTHING since 4pm the day before, and it was already noon, we planned on bbq so we went to the store and I passed out in the store. That was early on in my smoking carreer...but if i really want to get bombed, i try to at least have something to drink/eat before/during.

Nahh i hadnt eaten much before...maybe just some cereal. And i never smoked enormously...only like 1 big hit and maybe 3-4 other ones after.

questions that may confirm my suspisions: Is your urine yellow or clear? Does it happen only when you smoke or other times when you get up from a resting position? If you answered both of thoes questions yes then i believe the answer you seek is dehydration. Dehydration can cause dissyness and/or a blacking out effect that can sometims be quite strong and last for multiple seconds when you stand up that causes disorientation and a slight recovery time untill you return to a normal feeling. This is accompanied by a throbbing feeling in your head especially as well as the rest of your body. Drink more water and try not to drink so much caffine drinks because caffine is a diuretic and will dehydrate you further. Its easy to assume that its the use of drugs but, as with many problems that are blamed on substance use, the problem is often somthing else that is easy to achieve through many users life style and state of mind.
