i dont think im ever smoking again

i had the most terrible experience of my life last night

My friend and i went to go smoke a few bowls for new years. I thought it would be a good thing to do because i was in a grumpy mood. So she packed a passee in her bong and gave me greens. I took the whole thing in one hit, which she didnt think would happen since i hadnt smoked in a month. I was fine at first, but for some reason the weed musta been incredibly dank and i got really high really fast. Then it got really really terrible. And i started to freak out. I was in the car with just her and the window was rolled down and i started to shake uncontrollably and i started hyperventellating. The only thing i wanted to do was to not be high anymore. I felt like i was in a movie and that i was going to die. I started to cry and hyperventelate and i kept asking for her to take me to the hospital so they could put me to sleep so i didnt have to go through what i kept calling a terrible nightmare. I was talking as if i was in a movie. When shed turn the car on idget better and it was so strange because the whole time icould carry on a conversation subconciously. My friend was really scared for me. And everytime shed ask if i was ok i would get worse again. I sat there shaking uncontrollably and and rocking back and forth like a crack head for an hour and a half. It got really bad when i started to like grab at my legs with my nails and i put scratch marks in them. It was terrible. I thought i was honestly going to die. The car ride was terrible. We ended up driving about 20 minutes to a girls house to celebrate the new year and they put me on a bed where i laid down and shook uncontrollably for another hour. The funny thing was though these asshole kids kept talking about me and i could hear them and they thought i was stupid and deaf or something but i still remember to the t everything that happened last night including what they said. I ate two crunchwrap supremes to make myself feel better but today that just makes me feel gross haha.iwhen i got back to my house about 3 hours later when i finally felt comfortably enough to go home and not be killed by something i walked in and immediately went to my room. I got up to go to go to the bathroom and i really wanted to take a bath. but then i thought about taking a bath and semi hallucinated semi thought in my concious that i would try to see how long i could hold my breath in the bathtub and kill myself by drowning. so then i started to shake uncontrollably again and i decided not to take a bath. finally about 30 minutes later comfortable in my bed. i calmed down a lot all of the sudden and was just at a good high until i passed out. But when i passed out i saw things trying to come grab me in my sleep and i woke up hyperventelating again. and then just sat awake for about another hour when i finally fell asleep and had the craziest dreams of my life. I still dont feel right this night. oh man drugs never again.

has this happened to anyone else

i didnt read the whole thing but it sounds like you had a panic attack, might have been induced by a sativa strain, no reason to quit smoking though. just remember to respect the herb more and you should be fine

it was probably because you burnt a whole bowl in one hit and you just had too much smoke in too little time. whenever i have too much in too short of a time, i always get a really bad headache/stomachache and i have to lay down for a few minutes before i can go smoke more. but you really shouldn't quit just because of one bad experience.

just my $4.20

This has happened to me a few times. I know of alot of people who have had the same situation. With me, it's always been while hitting a bong. I'm not sure what it really is, I like to call it a thc overdose. I usually drink some cold fluids, get some fresh air, lay down. do whatever makes you feel better. It happens to every smoker from time to time. just try to take smaller hits. Don't let this ruin your smoking experiences.

Just quit. You can't handle the weed. I've never gotten so high I've freaked out. I've been really high in uncomfortable situations, but I don't see how people can become so uncomfortable.

Thats like my n00b friend who I got way to high a few times. He always said he wanted to "smoke a bunch and get really high" sometime, well he said that once, but whenever we smoked a decent a

mount, not a whole lot, he'd freak out. It was a real buzz-kill to be around someone who can't handle it.

One time he got too high and slept in my bed for like an hour til his high wore off a lil, then another time his whole body started twitching.

I just don't get how people can be like that. I've gotten REALLY high where it was a task to smoke more, but I've never been uncomfortably high...just so high that I laid down on my bed for a few seconds and before I knew it I slept for like 3 hours. That was on an indica though, and the body stone was real heavy...

I think you might just want to quit unless you are going to be able to handle your highs, because its really no fun being with someone who freaks out. That or just learn your limit.

Sure that it wasnt laced? But hey dont give up on the herb.

this is not a matter of being able to handle your weed...this kinda stuff happens to lots of smokers all over. I've been a smoker for 17 years and it happens to me from time to time. It's kinda like a reverse tollerance.

Like everyone else said, don't inhale so much at once. It's not going to be somehow a more amazing high if you suck down a whole lot of smoke as opposed to toking bit by bit. And the amount you need in order to get lifted is actually tiny, for all but the most experienced people.

If you feel you should not smoke weed, don't smoke it. It is that simple. Some people should not smoke weed. No big deal.

I have never freaked out after smoking pot. But I know a few people who have.

It is just weed. Don't ever do anything that you are not comfortable with.

Well my friend, you'd better not do anything else if you can't even handle some buds.

I can't believe you started crying. Sorry, but I giggled a bit. :)

wow, i actually have had a couple experiences just like this in the last couple months, i took 15 hits once with a friend and kept on thinking i was gonna die and all that and then did it again later and was shaking and stuff, i've quit for awhile (3 weeks and im going to go until march i think) i dont know what im doing wrong, it could be im dehydrated or something but the last thing you wanna do is be nervous if you decide to smoke, it makes the weed act faster i think and can really screw you up

I passed out in a grocery store once. I hadn't eaten all day, it was 100F outside, i hadn't drank anything, no a/c in the car. It was sunday so there was ALOT of people in there and I was incredibly blown.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
IF you or someone you know begins to freak out, give them a dark soda. (dr pepper/coke/pepsi) Heartrate will fall. You will feel ok after a few seconds.

Dude are you sure she did'nt give you salvia? Sativa is a strong narcotic type of weed!!!!!! Yes I said SALVIA!

umm.................dumbass
sativa is a mind fuck kind of trip
indica is a body stone
and salvia isnt weed at all

You have to have the right mentality on it. Once that first thought gets in your head, you're pretty much convinced whatever you want to be convinced. Try to convince yourself that nothing is going to happen and you are having great time rather than a horrible time. Then again, some people just aren't for weed. From your post it seems like you smoked before that, but then again if one bad experience is turning you away from it then I'm not so sure. Smoke less at a time and just chill. If you haven't smoked in a while and aren't sure if you're overdoing yourself, just take one bong rip and chill. If you feel you aren't high enough and want to smoke more, go ahead. If you feel you've had enough to have an enjoyable experience, then stay at that.

ok so one time i smoked 3g to myself of some of the dankest shit ive ever had (well it fuckd me up the most) anyways so im laying in bed ma minds just fucking up im thinkng about this man on a desk thats revolving in like this big wheel and each time i think bout it wich is like every 2 seconds my brain ads somethign else to the lttle image i have in my head, so i try not to hink about this i try and think about something else but for some reason i either keep building up a picture of what im thinking about adding something every 5 seconds or i go back to the first image of the man on the desk, then the most freaky part was that id b thinking about somthing lets say a mouse and then i would think of somethign to do with a mouse so while im rackng my brain to try and think of something to do with a mouse i totaly 4gette what it is i was trying to think of something about if you get what i mean, id b like hold on what was i trying to think of and that was happening every like 10 mins. didnt really like it at the time i was like fuck this im staying of the weed i just want to get out of this state, but then once it wore of (about 45 mins for the total headfuck about 4 hours for the high) i was liek naah fuck staying of the weed lol.

really not a nice experience tho i just remebr as the headfuck was starting to wear of but still definatly there i just kept thinking imagen if i stayed liek this, couldnt think about anything withought driving myself fucking insane and wanting to rip my own hair out just so i can concentrate on something...not a nice thought

but never happend since so...its all good lol

EDIT: and its true what the person above said, when your stoned convincing yourself things or allowing yourself to be convinced is so much easyer, i remember the first few times i got ma mate stoned i would tell him that he really couldnt breath, i would tell him to imagen he cant breath and that its just not going to happen and shit that kid actuaslly belived it he held his breath for like 2 and a half mins and his face was going red and shit he needed me to tell him he could breath again :S at first i didnt belive him but then after the 2min mark i knew he cudnt be faking as he cant hold his breath for shit under normal conditions.

It just sounds like you paniced. I hate twitching, it really sucks. Try just smoking joints. I've learned that I can't take huge bong rips because I get a shitty high. If I take my time however, and slowly work up to that level of being high, it's a lot easier, because your reality isn't totally shattered. I just stick to joints and disolve my reality bit by bit. Get what I'm saying?

Dude, that same thing happens to me when I get really blazed. I'll be thinking of something then all of a sudden I'll completely blank out and be like what the fuck was I just thinking about then it'll take a few mins for me to try to remember what I was just thinking about, if I ever do remember.

try smoking in a more comfortable place. i've only freaked out once and it was while i was in an uncomfortable/unfamiliar place.

You might wanna have your blood sugar checked. Alot of the symtoms you described sound like you just happened to get really high and your blood sugar went off (crunch wrap supremes BTW are a lot of starch so if you did have a blood sugar problemthat would have made it worse) Hyperglycemia comes to mind. Simple 30 sec blood test.

how fucking annoying is it, i swear it can drive a stoner insane!

only really happens to me when im really fucked and on my own

getting freaked out sucks i've had it happen like 2 or 3 times where i honestly thought i was ganna die i mean its kinda hard at times to control your high u just have to remember just give it a little while and ill start to come down then just try and except the fact you really cant do anything but enjoy the experience your getting.

yeah, you would know if you were smoking salvia. Salvia is a really fucked up trip...you'd be lucky to get more than one phat hit before you lost your mind and didn't know where you were at for a minute. That shit is getting really popular lately. But what people don't know is how it effects you long term. A good friend of mine had his brain turned to mush because of Salvia. that stuff is bad news, i recommend staying away from it.

hahahahha i hear you salvia tripped me out horribly... i saw the world break in to blocks and was liftin off the floor.. i was in my back yard at 12:30am screamin like a idiot hahahahhaa i'll never smoke salvia again :rastasmoke:

I just recently tripped on salvia pretty hard, made me uncomfortable... :cool:

take it slow indiebabe.

I've seen folks REALLY freak out on reefer before. There are actually two guys that are prohibited from either smoking or drinking while on my property... I simply do not have the time to play babysitter. I've always had a difficult time understanding how plain weed can have that sort of effect on people... for me, it's always been chill therapy, so long as I keep myself in a comfortable setting for it. I don't like smoking anywhere but home, really. But, I guess every chemical reacts with people in different ways.

Back in highschool i smoked a joint with my g/f at the time, just a little pinner (lunchtime session). So she starts freakin out like you guys are talkin about, and i was forced to dump her.

okey dokey hey everybody.
ok soooooooo answer to everyone lol.
i have smoked a lot of pot in my day
i'm from eugene oregon and i go to school in boulder colorado
we smoke a lot of pot in both places.
and i have taken rips as big as that before.
but i have always usually smoked like little bits to reach a good high.
i have never ever ever experienced anything like last night in my entire life.
like i was freaking hallucinating and shit.
and it was intense.
and terrible.
haha.
but ya it was not my first time smoking by any means hahaha and i know what i can handle

Sounds trippy, get back on the horse (plant)

ok so i thought that i was over. haha i thought i was going to not have to worry about ever feeling like that again.
except for last night i started to like get the sweats before i went to sleep.
then when i was sleeping. i relived my whole experience, but it wasnt like a dream...because i would wake up and i would still feel high and i couldnt do anything about it and i was like freaking out. but not in the same way. just like omg what the heck is going on. so then i would try to go back to sleep but i would just go back into this like dream like torture thing. then finally i woke up one time and went and drank like a bunch of water. and i got like 4 more blankets because i was so cold. and then fell back asleep like 20 minutes later and slept fine i think for the rest of the night. BUt ya that was messed up. it was like a weed flashback haha

your case is classic smoke inhalation. the hit you took was too much smoke for you to handle. had nothing to do with the weed.

i made a post about this, i recently had a horrible panic attack about death and how life is real and not just a 1st person tv show, and how one day my parents would be dead and then it made me feel subconsiously guilty and made me help them out more and their not even old i dnt know what made me panic and my room changed while i stared in it real strange so i just had to watch tv or listen to music but man, ye i would stay sober for about a week or get baked continuously for bout 3 days and realise that you eventually get used to getting baked and have a different bud to the shit u tripped on

when i get that high i dont freak out.. i just trip out on things, i love weed and have so much respect for it i dont think ive ever had a bad experiance with it =]
just try smoking little amounts and gradually (i suck at spelling i know lol) move up

I've had two panic attacks to date from smoking..
one happened when I was in a car and hadn't smoked in a while..after smoking I felt an urge to get up and pace...and a feeling like I couldn't breathe..
Another time we all smoked an excessive amount of bong rips and we were playing mario party in a dark room with the sound too loud..again I felt as if my lungs were failing and I had to stand up quickly and breathe heavily and slowly to make the feeling subside..
I was going to say your stuff was laced but chances are it wasn't..
take it easy..ease into it if you continue..don't bomb yourself

Mastachronic! You won't ever hear me put you down or call freakin' names!

umm.................dumbass
sativa is a mind fuck kind of trip
indica is a body stone
and salvia isnt weed at all

It's just that the dude felt like all these crazy things! SALVIA does the same kinda shit that he went through! I've been around long enuff to know the difference between sativa and indica high's!!!!!! And your right about the salvia not being weed.It's an herb! So is cannabis!But all in all,they are both a PLANT!When ya put somebody down,make sure it's the right 1! Aight?

Holla!

WHAT THE HELL?

We are not here to put 1 another down and slam! It's all about helping! That's my case,anyway!

Ga Grown!

i've never had that shit happen, only once, and the weed was laced........But i don't see a way you can get TOO high........

If you can control how weed affects you... I am going to tell myself that I'll get FUCKED up off of one bowl... I wonder if it will work... I'm going to try it
