Hey so is this normal. If so, shit that's so insane.

Anyway, let me give you some quick background info. I'm a recent smoker. The only things I've done in the past is drink and DXM, but I don't think I've been completely and incredibly drunk, neither have I been much past mid-third plateau on dextro. Basically, I'm fresh meat.

But I've smoked weed for the first time about a month ago, even though I wouldn't call it that (it was just a quick hit to see the technique and stuff). The second time I ever smoked was this past Sunday. I took a few hits from this crappy pipe my brother made, but it still did something. That was a nice high. I wouldn't say I was happy as in laughing hysterically, but more on the reigns of being content and all-knowingness. I also had much nostolgia and flashbacks from when I was a kid. And the Doors sounded awesome.

Anyway back to the subject, the third and last time I smoked was this past Tuesday night around 10:30pm. I didn't have to go into school early the next day so I thought I'd be cool. Anyway, my bro borrowed his friend's pipe, so it wasn't the crappy homemade one. I took either two or three hits- and it was weird because I had determination for mind power that seemed to work because when I thought I wasn't high, or told myself ,I was still pretty straight, my head was clear. And then when I relaxed, I became more aware of the results. Anyway, next, I took a huge ass hit and that's when things got bad. First I got a little dizzy, which was fine, but it was accompanied with a gagging reflex, which if fine also because I heard it's normal to feel like throwing up the first few times.

But then I remember like dozing off, almost like dieing. And then when I realized this, I "woke up" in a way. And the sensation was incredible. It felt like that feeling right before you wake up from sleeping--when you have that tingling sensation, that sort of sucking and muffled sound in your ears...you know that sort of mind you're in on the borderline between sleeping and being awake. Seeing that I'm all into that whole sleep cyle thing (I find it interesting, dreams and all) I found this experience incredible. And I found myself saying "Oh my God." Then something happened. Like a lapse in time. I'm not sure where I was, but I was not with me..like an OBE. This seperation freaked me out and when I realized this sort of mentatily, I snapped back into reality and when I did, I heard myself again continuing from back when I was saying "Oh my God." Kind of like my life paused, and as it stood still, my mind went back to the left corner of my brain just to chill there for a second, then when it had its rest, it click rewind and then play again. Like a lapse in time.

Anyway, this became extremely uncomfortable. I don't know if any of you saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but towards the end when he's following her in his memories, when he's following her one second, and the next she's gone. That's what my mind was like. I don't know if that was the memory loss effect thing. I would be sitting down, and when I felt myself drift from reality/being awake, I began freaking out because it felt what I imagine death to be, and in my mind I'd be saying, "You need to go get a drink of water or something". And then in like five minutes (but was really probably just a few seconds) I'd "wake up" and I'd be holding onto my waterbottle. As in the time from sitting down to going to my bedroom, to my waterbottle never existed. Again, like a lap[se in time.

I compared this all to what I imagine a "conscious strobelight" to be. Anyway my brother said it was the most freaked out he's ever been. He believed the drug might have bought out a sort of unknown bipolar-side to me because he said I'd be in awe one second, then I'd race to the other end of the room and start banging my head (I actually remembered this, because this was when I was trying to "stay awake" or rather "alive") and then I'd start threatening him/crying.

I also remember thinking how I wanted to call 911 so bad but I didn't want anyone to get into trouble. I even was thinking about making a note, just so someone would understand how I died. Of course I never could find the paper (even though I had like an entire stack on the desk).

The effects kind of lasted until 6pm the next day. Of course, not as strong. But I had major memory lapses, and just the whole day seemed awkward and strange for some reason.

Anyway the point is: Supposidly this was a bad trip, right? I never knew weed could really give a bad trip. First I thought the shit coulda be laced, but considering my Bro smoked it too..I don't think so. And I don't believe I smoked too much. And I wan't uncomfortable/not in the right relaxed state of mind prior to smoking either.

I was wondering if this might have been because of my high interest in dreams. Or could it have bought out this sort of insane side? Could trips/expereinces on weed be different according to what you've ate prior to also (because I ate shit load of sugar before smoking).

Or was this just because I'm still new to the drug?

Anyway, thanks and sorry about this being to long.

Peace.

Lol wow, I think you just smoked too much in one go.

Yea, that exact (well not exact, different situation, same feelings and actions I guess) happened to me the first time I got high. The "sucking and muffled sound" in the ears, the trying to stay awake, everything you mentioned all happened to me. That was my first time getting high, and it freaked me out too. I still get it when I smoke a lot, and I enjoy it now. Hope it didn't scare you too bad :p

BTW, I thought your explaination of this was fantastic :)

ive never had that happen to me, to me it sounds like you were on pcp or something, sometimes when i was younger and i would smoke really good stuff, i would feel like i was falling kinda, and once i gave into the feeling it was great, but then again i tried acid before i tried pot, so maybe it was diffrent for me

i think you just traveled through time or something?

Its called a "myoclonic twitch", and because you were high on weed, you sat there thinking WAAAAY too much about it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myoclonus

THE MORE YOU KNOW!

edit: sry, didn't realise you ate so much sugar too. This can cause many things. 1) the weed put you to sleep neurologically, but the sugar probably keyed in your adrenal system. 2) You are partially diabetic/sugar intolerant, causing you to have either a diabetic siezure, or sleep apnea.

Wow guys, thanks. Those all actually helped. And whoa, interesting stuff. And thanks Kon Artist.

That's all kinda cool though. Especially the sugar thing. Yeah its like fight between two effects of the sugar and grass.

i think before you only got a little bit high but taking a big hit u felt the hole hit at once and it freaked you out iv been freaked out like that before its kinda like having a panic attack worrying about stuff to much and ur mind takes over

You sure you were smoking weed?

Yeah I'm pretty sure. My brother's friend sells, so I suppose I could trust that it was 100% weed. Even so, my brother smoked it as well, and he didn't get the same effects.

welcome to the wonders of weed...you may never have a better high than what you just described.

i kno Chucky76 is right.. i have a post somewhere i wrote on here a while back on the 1st time i got high and it was crazy lol.. i never had an experience like that EVER when smoking weed.. i definitely tripped.. but it was pretty cool thinking of it nowadays.. it was scary also when it happened.. but now its just like... I WANNA DO IT AGAIN! :) lol.. so yeah i wouldnt really worry about it.. just keep smokin :)

When this happened to me it wasnt like I transported myself. It was more like sitting still trying to stay awake, then looking up at the clock and noticing half an hour had just gone by

i didn't feel like reading it all... something about being dizzy. But aside from that, you should be a novelist.

Cannabis can bring out latent psychological problems in individuals. This could have, possibly, occured for you.

Also, time distortion is normal with cannabis consumption. While I have never experience nor heard of it being as pronounced as your experience, I guess it may be possible for it to occur that prominently.

Anyways, if you do choose to venture into it again, have someone with you, a "trip sitter", to watch you and make sure you're OK. If the symptoms occur with each smoke, stop smoking. It may be just from the first experiences, but no one can be sure at this point.

Whatever you choose to do, good luck, and I hope it goes well.

Yeah, it was a bad trip. It's more common than you think, and yes you were just smoking some potent weed.

I had the same effects. Time would jump all around and I lost all my short-term memory.

Next is the panic attack.

So anyways, I don't have the answer as to how to prevent it, but I am working on it myself.

hhaha nice post. i have highs like that when i first smoked. whenever i think "bad trip" ill get a bad trip.

lol thats sounds really sick and freaky at the same time its either ur still new to the herb or it could have been laced but something like that happend to me but not to that extreme

Advice: Never drink and blaze until you're absolutely sure this experience of yours will never happen again.

Haha oh definately.

O god that reminds me of back in the day. Good memories... But ya I think that Moeburn hit the nail on the head when he says that you were thinking about it too much. Its the same thing when you on the mushies. If you think your going to have a bad trip, you do.

I figured weed made you think way too much about everything. except homework.

Well... maybe it was the weed, but maybe you had something else going on that the weed let come to the surface. That's definitely unusual for weed.

That being said, my husband has had really bad panic attacks from smoking, but other times, he has been fine, but that just happens sometimes.

For you, sounds like there might have been some underlying stuff going on?

I don't know if you believe in OBEs and "vibrational energy dimensions" and that kind of thing, but that's what it sounds like to me, like the weed fucked up your vibratory energy and you were like half here/half in some other place.

Moeburn, I think you were right about the sleep myoclonus. It's funny how as the days progress, and I'd try to imagine what I felt that night, it's rather hard to fully understand, or remember rather, what my body felt like. But today, I was dead tired and starting dosing off at school and my friend but simply tapped me and I did the whole twitch thing and holy crap, talk about a flashback.

Dude, that's kinda awesome.

Damn, this part made me laugh a lot. I've "blacked out" and done thing that I dont remember when I was stoned. Once I had to drive home, and I dont remember anything. Also there was a new bottle of eye drops in my pocket. So... yeah. Good post:thumbsup:

Sooo, I smoked again today. Probably not even half as much as I did last time. Basically not even a bowl. But I had pretty much the same effects.

I leave for school around 7:30. I felt if I smoked hardly anything and at 7ish, I'd be fine, but I was so screwed, I couldn't function through that stobelight effect thing. I don't even know what I all did; all I felt was that everyone thought I was crazy. For instance, I'd think to myself about what would happen if I said "Fuck you" out loud...now this was all a thought, not an action yet, but a second later, someone (I'm pretty sure) would say "Uhh, what the hell was that..." as if I'd actually said it. Basically, memory loss, anyone? I kind of already have a bad memory, so maybe that's it.

Whatever it is, I suppose I can't handle weed, which makes me kind of sad.

i think u just think too much. let go your thoughts and relax. I know people that r scared of pot and get paranoid with just the smell. Just coz they tried to see smoking as a "trip", to see the effects. They were probably a little bit worried about weed in their minds, just like most of first timers i think, and they made it "big" in their heads so they freaked out.

just chill, probably the weed was bomb and u got paranoid.

this sounds like a bunch of bs to me

that's happend to me before. and I kept saying OH MY GOD also... it's so weird.. haha.
And that was when i first started smoking too, and the more i've smoked... i'm more used to that feeling.
