Allergic to Marijuana

I really believe that you can be allergic to marijuana. I've tried it several times, all of them were horrendous and the worst experiences of my life. I have done other drugs and they ended up like it was supposed to. The only drug that I will never do again is marijuana.

The first times I used it, it was good, with only about 5 minutes of an "allergic reaction". But it got worse and worse. But then one day it lasted for about 5 hours and was way too intense to enjoy it at all. The feeling was as if all of the feeling I had was going down, into a different dimension even, and my heart was beating extremely fast. I was lying on a bed for most of the time, with my arms against my chest. I could feel my heart beating on my arms and that scared me. Sometimes it'd feel like I was stuck feeling the same thing (for example, I felt like I was still lying down but I was definitly standing up.) for 10 seconds and then my feeling would rush back with me, where I was. It shouldn't have been that scary, but for some reason, I was so frightened. I even realized that it wasn't too bad, but I was still scared to death for no reason.

And I'm sure the shit wasn't laced. I've smoked approxamtely 5 times and it's came from different people, and the people I smoked with didn't feel the same thing. And it's been the same feeling each time.

Anyone think that I'm possible allergic to marijuana?

dude. that just sounds liek u got some dank ass bud. thats a good thing man, if i could trip like that on weed id be a happy man. mayb smoke some schwag next time, or take smaller rips if u dont want to get that high.

yea i think i'd be happy if i was in another dimension.

what other kind of reactions are you having?

Like, all of my muscles were tensing up (probably because I was scared for no reason) and I was twitching a lottt.

But it wasn't that cool at all. I thought I was dieing for a while, or at least I wanted to die because it was scary.

Recently, like 3 days ago, I was around some second-hand marijuana smoke and I felt slightly like that, but not enough to freak out.

DUDE same thing happens to me when i smoke mj... ALL the time, i tried alone, with friends, always the same thing. All my body muscles are twiching very fast, it stresses me, and the more im stressed, it twiches even more.

I think that at the same time you are smoking, you are having a panic attack... U can check out the symptoms, its when ur body produces adrenalin for nothing, and u get really scared for nothing...

It did it to me 3 times, it seems that since i got scared the first time, my body is used to getting scared when i smoke mj, so all the time, i get that same feeling. Sometimes my muscles are so tense, all my body starts shaking...

Anyways, dunno what to do about that..

those are interesting experiences, but definetly not symptoms of an allergic reaction. youve just been on some bad trips.

Symptoms that may indicate a moderate or severe reaction include:

Swelling of the face, eyes, or tongue
Difficulty swallowing
Wheezing
Fear or feeling of apprehension or anxiety
Abdominal cramps or abdominal pain
Nausea and vomiting
Weakness
Dizziness or light-headedness
Chest discomfort or tightness
Difficulty breathing
Unconsciousness

Yeah, that's deffinetaly not allergic reactions. I didn't think it was possible to have a bad high on weed, but I guess it happened to you. Sorry to hear it.

Well I myself have a very low tollerance to THC, and i have had difficulty breathing/decreased respiration,
when i first started smoking i had alot of muscle jerks, on my 13 time or so i started getting muscle stiffness/ridgidity,clenching, though when i smoke about half the amount it's down considerably, but i just think it's from extremely low tollerance

Or bad weed?

Didn't read topic but it is possible to be allergic to marijuana.

That happens to me alot when I smoke bud, but I still smoke it anyways. I used to smoke it alot when I lived in Austin, and my heart would never beat fast after I had smoked. Now, after I smoke a joint, my heart starts beating fast. I get scared, and I almost freek out because of that. I know damn well that if I freek out because of my rappid heart rate, my high would suck. I allways try to listen to music that is relaxing and soothing when I'm high. That works to some extent.

well for me it woulda gave me a good laugh no offense

a friend of mine has an allergic reaction when he smokes, hes only smoked about 3-4 times, and he says he gets an alright high, but he breaks out in hives and gets really itchy, and he says its hard for him to breathe, if thats not an allergic reaction then idk what it is

this happened to me once, and it was because of the aluminum foil.

I sneeze sometimes... but that's it.

yeh that makes sense, ive had plenty of experiences like that, mainly when i smoke after a break or get some real nice weed.
youre just getting too stoned thats what mate, maybe youre a lightweight, just smoke less, and worry less.

i find that the enviroment you smoke in your personality determine a lot how much you enjoy mj. my heart used to feel like it was beating a million miles per hour and id think i was gonna die but if you take your pulse your heart isnt going so fast. I just get really stupid when I smoke, like retard stupid but put an instrument in my hands and i just go to town. for some reason all music just makes sense to me when im stoned.

are you by chance on any kind of medication for depression, i know from personall experience that it makes the high alot more intense and almost unbearable when you first start mixing the meds and weed. i also have a few friends on meds for depression and they said the same thing about their first few times with the meds (i started the meds after i was already smoking)

That happens to me sometimes too but ive knoticed its only that first joint or first blunt/bowl after the 2nd one i just feel high and good. the anxiety seems to dissapear. So when that happens try to keep smoking until your relaxed and high.

it sounds to me like lowering the dosage would help a lot, and definitely stop smoking once you feel it start to kick in

Negro please.

It sounds like you just smoked quite a bit of MJ and you got too high too fast, and you got a bit paranoid. Even if you were allergic to marijuana, it would still affect your brain in the same way. Your skin would probably itch, your throat may swell up and you would have difficulty breathing, your eyes would water and itch, your throat would be kinda scratchy etc..

Hell yea, I would love for that to happen every time I smoke.

I don't know about all that shit you typed...prolly cuz I didn't take the time to read it. I seen how long it was and said fuck it. But I have bought a sack before that the smell was so strong and a lil bit odd that everytime I opened it I would sneeze every 5 minutes. It only happened with that paticular sack. I would sneeze all day long. Bless me.

Yeah I used to throw up a lot when I would smoke a lot of weed, but the twitching and heart beating fast is fairly normal. Were you by yourself?? You notice it more when you are alone.

I get SUPER bad dry mouth sometimes, I twitch a lot, and it intensifies any pain im feeling (ie: headaches).

Love- Kate

It just sounds like you had a psycho panic attack. I love em :D

That's not allergic reactions, that's weed. But you can be allergic, my friends sister can't be around it, if she is she'll have seizures, and I know from first hand experience.

same thing for me lol but when I get high If I lay down listen to music and close my eyes I see stuff and I hear stuff I saw myself in the third person the other day but now that ive been smoking for about 5 days staight all those "trip out" moments are starting to fade maybe its that some people have more connabinoid recpetors than other people i heard that some people have alot and others have less but i dont know . :rasta:

For those of you that say its a phsyco-panic attack are wrong. I have smoked a bit in my life and I have had that same exact experience 2 times in my life. The way I know it is not a panic attack is because the heart starts beating extremely fast and I can tell myself that everything is just fine and its suppose to be that way but its still gonna continue to beat faster and faster. You can be sitting in a room laughing with ur friends and have nothing on your mind yet ur heart will still beat very fast. This kind of experience is a result of having a low tolerance to THC and either smoking too much too fast or smoking too strong of a bud for your experience level. Also holding in the smoke for excessively long amounts of time can cause this if your a beginner.
After my first experience like this one I just tried getting some weaker weed, and smoking less. I got high and felt my heart speed up but nowhere to the extent of uncomfort.

that used 2 happen 2 me alot when i was a beginning stoner. i didnt know why the fuck i was freakin out, cuz i thought you can smoke all you want, to get a more pleasent experience. i was wrong, i smoked all i could, my heart felt like it was goin twice as fast, i didnt know wtf was goin on.

after you realize that weed has that power, you know what to expect, and your tolerance goes down. that unpleasent experience never happens to me anymore cuz i know its all my brain tryin to fuck with me

The first 10 or so times I got high things were CRAZY!!!

I got lost in a bush next to the trail in the dark. Finally turned on my flashlight and was like "oh, *steps out of bush* back on the trail"

Another time I got "lost" in a bathroom, long story.

the person who started this thread can't handle the chronic...
btw have you done shrooms?

I don't believe you. Strange that you've done other drugs, yet only did weed 5 times.

I'm pretty new to smoking (about a year), but i think the whole pounding heart thing happens to a lot of people. I know some people who don't like smoking bc they get paranoid and feel like they are gonna die. I think it can be pretty normal for a bunch of people. so dont worry, your not alone. I never heard of any of my friends having their muscles tense up, but it might be bc your not relaxed and possibly bc you are nervous and feel like your gonna die. yeh, iduno but i wouldnt worry about it too much.
