Questions about weed and passing out.

So yeah. I wouldnt say i smoke weed all the time. But i do smoke weed. And the other day, i took about 5 hits from this joint. I was feeling great. Then i stood up and went downstairs. My vision started going purple and it was a real struggle to walk straight. Soon after i got back upstairs i passed out :S. I woke up with my bro slapping me in the face saying "stay with me". I drank some water and crawled into bed. I didnt sleep however, I stayed awake because i was afraid i was going to die. My heart, to put it simply, felt messed up. After about 3-4 hours of lying down i felt well enough to go downstairs and eat dinner. Then next day i felt better. But my heart doesnt feel great. Im not sure if the heart thing is paranoia and maybe it was just my lack of sleep and bad eating patterns which lead to me passing out. Anyway, If anyone has ever had the same problem or seen someone with the same problem please let me know, and if not, i'd like some thoughts on what i should do. Going to the hospital is really not an option.

Honestly I would say that it could not be the pot, until this last month. Nothing has ever happened to me like this, or anyone I knew until recently.

But in the last month, this has happened to two different people I know. Albeit, they fell and hit their heads. They were smoking blunts, I blamed it on nicotine poisoning from the wrap. That can't be your problem.

I'd say what it is is this. And this is a complete guess, please understand this.

You just took a few big huge rips, your lungs ache a bit, and you aren't breathing your best. You might of coughed in a hearty way for a while after the rips. You overexert yourself with limited o2 supply going up and down the stairs, it affects your eyesight, and you pass out from that.

If that isn't even close to something that sounds likely, then the only other explanations are: Sudden allergic reaction to marijuana. Not unheard of, not likely either, or your bud was laced. No one laces bud. Lacing costs a lot of money. LACING COSTS A LOT OF MONEY. dealers don't waste money.

All the help I can give you friend.

It could be the weed you had contained small amounts of chemicles used to grow it like pesticides or something like that. my suggestion is that you buy from someone you trust more or ask them if their patients have experienced the same thing.:wtf:

I agree with the above poster. You probably had some weed that was sprayed with some sort of pesticide or insecticide. Growers are supposed to cease spraying during the flowering stage of growth, my bet is that a lot of indoor commercial growers, or even smaller grows will use sprays late in the game to fight spider mites, gnats, etc.

Go see a doctor as soon as possible, it's possible you have some sort of heart disease. Although it may not be serious and was perhaps just a 'headrush' pass out, tell a doctor about the experience and have it checked out just to be sure.

Silly lightweights...I remember when a couple hits from a blunt gave me tunnel vision and I'd slowly blackout unless I got some water and some fresh air outside. Now I regularly take a blunt to the face after work. I've had friends who don't smoke because they react different they say, but meh.

By the way dude if u died you'd be the first human in history to have died from an overdose of THC. Just doesn't happen.

Freakin lightwieght newbies:D....you cant OD on MJ.... the worst that can happen is you go to sleep high and wake up still high.....like when you eat brownies...that a 6-8 hour body high:hippy:

smoke everyday for a week... get your tolerance up....problem solved:thumbsup:

I passed out once, it was a really really long time ago, it turns out the weed was laced. Marijuana won't hurt you, but the shit they put on it just might.

If you have to worry about getting laced weed you need to grow your own like the majority of us do......you control what goes into your weed

The things they lace weed with wont make you go to sleep thats for sure...

Snowcap....coke and weed

crank and weed

pcp and weed

shermans....joints dipped in phermaldihyde

Non of these thing will make you sleep:hippy:

THC lowers blood pressure. Too much too fast can cause passing out. Just slow down a bit.

Sorry, but no. A Sherman is a Moore (brown) cigarette dipped in PCP. Joints dipped in formaldehyde are caller water, or wet, or wetdaddy. Usually something to do with being wet etc.

To the post that said lacing weed costs a lot of money, not true. Sure if you're lacing it with coke and stuff, but a lot of times idiots will spray weed with common household cleaners and stuff like that. In college a friend of mine bought some schwag from this scheisty friend of a friend of a friend and it tasted like chemicals hard. We didn't pass out or anything, but we could taste a chemical taste when we smoked it and it gave us bad headaches, and my friend threw up. We threw the rest of the herb away and never talked to the guy again.

Unfortunately due to the ignorance of our government officials and the majority of the public and their unwillingness to legalize and regulate this incredible plant, people stand to get cannabis that has been laced or sprayed with harmful chemicals every now and then. In my opinion, this is all the more reason to grow your own. :thumbsup:

Khaza, I actually had something very similar happen to me, when I smoked a couple bowls and felt really weird. I did have the same kind of sensation that something was not at all right and was worried I might be dying or something. I didn't want to slip off into sleep either, because my pulse was so low, I was afraid I might just die. And this was from bud from my own garden, grown organically, so it wasn't chemicals or anything like that. Sometimes if I smoke too much, I'll get really pale and have to go lie down. I'll also get phantom pains sometimes like someone is crushing my head or ramming something into my ears or twisting my head into a knot and weird crap like that. Kinda disturbing really....

Smoking WEEDS gives you feeling of anxiety!

â??Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.â?�

â??Anxiety is the rust of life, destroying its brightness and weakening its power. A childlike and abiding trust in Providence is its best preventive and remedy.â?�

I recently smoked some of my prematured buds from trimming.
I took just one bowl from a glass pipe and about 70 or 80 minutes later I felt my guts turning and hurting. After the 3rd wave hits I dropped down on the booth table (I was in a restaurant) and cold sweat starts running. I got motion sickness and I could barely manage myself. It took me a while to struggle to the restroom and then the diaherra starts flowing (thank God I've made it) and still sweating and felt extremely cold.

If it's caused by weed I wonder was it because the pesticide I've used to kill off bugs during flowering phase? It's 99% petroleum oil and I spray them from a bottle for 3 days. I havn't gotten any more bug problem for the next 6 weeks.

I have had similar experiences. I quit for a few months, about 2 weeks into quitting I started feeling high at random times, then I would lose sense of where my body was in space and time. I would think lifting something, say a cup, would take a certain amount of strength, but sometimes I would apply wayyy to much, or not enough. At one point I felt like my whole body was suspended and my vision had a strange sepia tint to it. I have heard of sensitive people developing allergies to cannabis if used to frequently. I think this is it. I used to smoke about a half eighter every day, started having anxiety issues every time I would smoke. I quit for 3 years, then started again, slowly, until I built up to daily smoking after about a year, than the anxiety, etc came again. I cannot say what is happening with these experiences, but the message for me is usually "It's time to stop for a while"

During my research of this incredible plant, I've seen reports of certain strains that cause anxiety in sensetive users, I've experienced some of these episodes myself. I think some were directly related to the strain, and also to my mindset before smoking. Sometimes I think, if you're smoking to relieve stress, it can intensify your state of mind, and cause anxiety. I of course am no doctor, I just speak on my personal experiences. Either way, it sucks that this happened, and I hope it's not a regular thing for you.

It was the strain, SATIVA. Indica don't do ya like that.

The same thing happened to my friend one time. We smoked about 3 blunts and he just started getting dizzy so he laid down and he became better after laying down for a bit. It might have been from the lack of food and or sleep because he also didn't have much food that day and it was like 3am at the time. Also the stuff we had seemed like some medical stuff it made us feel super sleepy and body high was pretty crazy as well so that might also tie in with the whole blacking out experience.

I'm surprised nobody knows about this. Some of the cannabinoids cause a temporary drop in blood pressure, particularly if you get really stoned or have low blood sugar from not eating recently. If you are standing up it will be worse, the only way to make it better is to lay down as soon as you feel yourself getting lightheaded. You can even elevate your feet after you are laying down. Sip some water or some juice if you haven't eaten lately. This is called postural hypotension, many medications can cause it.

I'm not so sure it is just a blood pressure thing. I've got some stuff I've come to call Harvey Weed. About five tokes and you appear to others to be muttering incoherent comments to a six foot tall invisable rabbit. You know; from that old movie with Jimmy Stewart as Elwood P. Dowd. It is a sativa dominant hybrid.

Or Gurney Weed. Same number of hits and yer feeling hot flashes and looking for a gurney.

One time that happened to me in a restaurant after having puffed up out in the car. Tip: Take deep breaths, breathe slowly, and sip your ice water, lol. It will go away soon enough. I actually found it sorta funny afterwards but the gal I was with sorta freaked while watching me "maneuver through the void" and said it was one of the goofier looks on my face she had seen for awhile. Then a little while later it hit her and she had to find a place to sit for a couple minutes. Being the gentleman that I am, I made no mention of the goofy expression I saw on HER face.

We actually had a hilarious night out that evening.

One of my friends I used to blaze with always passed out, I quit blazing with him because he was a liability if you know what I mean, all up in my house passing out and shit, scared the shit out of me. he said he went to his doctor and it was a vitamin deficiency or something, so he pops a multi-vitamin a day and he's been good ever since. Just remember, anytime your feeling a little woozy after blazing, remember to breath...that's probably most important. In your nose, out your mouth. Find something to drink and ride it out. :thumbsup: peace and pot ya'll!!!!!!

IT IS NOT FROM THE WEED.

This is is normal and happens to me even when I'm not high. It's just you going from a sitting position for a while to standing up and moving suddenly, there is lack of blood flow to the head.

Ok not sure if this is the same as what youve described but I have passed out after a heavy puff that I coughed my azz off and while coughing blacked out. Now im a Large guy and eat well and take vitamins and such, so I dont think it from a lack of anything. And its happened with different sources and strains so i dont think its laced or anything.
The thing that stinks is is the breakage. See Im sitting at my desk or sitting on my bed. Take a toke, cough my azz off and next thing I know im on the floor and from seeing how i ended up I could only conclude I lost conciousness and slid off the chair or the bed and sometimes my glass ware survives and somtimes we got breakage :(

The paranoia just drips off this thread. :D ;)

I've never passed out from any amount of weed but I know a few who have , I very much doubt you have anything to worry about.
If you're a toker you should eat regular and drink orange juice.
Lack of sleep and food + large amounts of weed = whiteys.

In the UK we call it that because the person affected usualy goes white just before they keel over. :D

Take it easy man.

you are probably just paranoid about the whole heart thing. I bet it's your lungs hurting they are right behind your heart you know.
