Worried About My First Time

:confused: Okay, so me and my friend smoked some weed (about a gram) out of a tin foil pipe the other day. Anyway, it was my first time high (my second attempt) and my legs got very wobbly and shakey and my head felt like it was floating; these things i know are pretty normal when high. However, I also felt some symptoms which aren't so commonplace and this is the reason I post. When I was high i felt very emotional, like one second i was laughing my ass off and the next my friend said something (that i wouldn't have bothered me at all if sober) and i just started bawling. These same hypersensitive emotions continued through out the whole high and in addition to crying when the slightest thing made me depressed, I felt like i had been hit in the chest with a sludgehammer and started hyperventilating, taking really deep, abnormal breaths. The feeling in my chest and my breathing could best be described as how alex in a clockwork orange felt when he thought of violence-that's how i felt when something made me depressed. Anyways, i just wanted to know if this is rare and if it might happen when i get high in the future, because obviously they weren't terribely pleasant symptoms. :confused:

Sounds like you had a form of paranoia/sadness. At least thats my guess. Ive never been paranoid or really sad when high so i cant say. Im sure it will pass with time though young one.

sounds like your crazy man. does your family have any history of mental illness? Drugs might not be for you.

Tin foil = EVIL.

I can't even recall how many times I've had a bad high due to burning tin foil. It's not healthy, and it always made me feel like shit, which is probably what happened to you.

There are other small things that you can do you get a better high as well, pick out your seeds and stems (good bud will rarely have seeds), if possible, get a bong with ice water, and stay away from smoking aluminum :rasta:

No my family doesn't have a history of mental illness only my cousin (intense depression) but i wouldn't say we're anymore prone to illness than the majority of people.
And yes we picked out the seeds and stems; did a real nice job of breaking it up. I guess it was the tin foil, but my friend got a nice high just giggles and shit like i hoped mine would be. Anyway my friend is getting a new pipe soon so we definitely won't be using tin foil again. I just hope it was the foil.

Any other insight?
Anyone have a similiar reaction?

How about you?
Do you have a healthy mental condition? Any bipolar tendencies?
What about the enviroment? Stressful, or uncomfortable in any way?
Have you gone through any sort of trauma recently?

You also werent used to it, you'll be able to adapt more now that you know what its like. I remember my first time, I enjoyed it the most part but then got uncomfortable at times cause I wasnt used to it.

Yeah I'd say I'm fairly stable, mentally that is. I did get in fits of depression this past year during school, more than I had previously in my life, but it was never very serious, I never sincerely contemplating suicide or hurting myself. As for bipolar tendencies, um no, my moods are generally pretty stable, I don't just switch moods.
As for the environment, it wasn't really stressful I wasn't too worried about getting caught or anything. But my one friend who wasn't high (because he didn't smoke this time) kept telling me to be more quiet or else I'd get caught and he said he was going to go to sleep soon because it was like 3:00 am, and I started feeling real depressed when said these things cause I wanted to stay up and didn't want to be alone. And also while I was high and getting emotional, he kept jokingly saying, "I never gonna get you high again" and this made me burst into tears and display the previously mentioned symptoms. But it wasn't just his comments, cause even depressing songs got me real down.
And no, I haven't gone through any trauma recently, family deaths or anything. Basically, I can see where all this emotions came from, but I just don't want to be like this next time; I just want to be super chill and happy like i thought I'd be.

tin foil is poisonous isn't it?

smoke a joint, see if it does it again... if it does u may have problems with weed, if not wat people are saying about tin foil is true.

in my opinion.. you cannot start a first timer off with a few bong hits or pipes... try a spliff! it is much more chilled and will be a much better experience for you! oh and dont mix with tabacco! you will enjoy it much more when its all green.:thumbsup: :smokin:

I kinda of had an experience like that once or twice, but I was about a month or two into smoking (been about 8 years ago now, god I'm getting old!!!). My legs felt wobbly and I felt like my breathing was real screwed up. Took me a while to realize it was all just in my head (and when I say a while I mean a couple hours). It was the two times where, at the time I hadn't smoked nearly as much as I ever had before (up to that point) and I was by myself, which I think was most of it. I've had some friends experience similar things, but none of them the emotional roller coaster you describe though. Mostly they were physical effects. My advice would be next to to 1. Don't be around someone who doesn't smoke next time, people that aren't high seem to be more paranoid to me than people that aren't. 2. Definetly don't smoke out of foil (it is poison). 3. Just remind yourself of the good things about being high calm yourself down and you'll forget you were ever upset, keep it up beat and you should be fine. If it happens next time you smoke, I don't think I would smoke anymore. It could be a sign of a deep rooted emotional or mental problem. Hope this helped

I got sick the first time I smoked and I didn't get the really good feeling I have now (when I smoke) untill at least the fifth time.

So don't worry about it, try it again, be sure not to be worried or stressed before you smoke. And don't smoke too much, you'll be fine.

Ow and also definately don't drink and smoke if you're not used to that

Try it again and see what happens. Also, you might wanna try it alone. A LOT of people (myself included) find smoking alone much more relaxing, less stressful, more blissful. And if you break down into some kind of emotional shit, there will be noone there to make you feel ashamed or embarrassed in any way.
Tinfoil Bad. Glass Good. Metal/Ceramic Ok.
And as Ghost Said, if the problems persist, it may very well be from a deeply rooted problem. You could be bipolar, or severely insecure, or any number of psychosis's. Weed tends to bring forth things like this.

lol you cried, I haven't cried in forever, last time I cried was like a week ago when some kid called me pussy :(

Hmmm, thats really wierd. I don't understand how people can get real emotional. Me, I'm comfortably numb, you gotta learn to just chill sometimes, if somethin' upsets you, just forget about it, nothin' you can do anyway.
