Need help from experienced smokers

[hreskofreight4]

I think the first bad trip was a something to the sort of a panic attack, and the other ones afterwards were probably a result of you worrying that you might get the same high again.

The placebo effect is amazingly powerful when you're high. Sounds also like whatever you smoked could just be a strain with considerable amounts of paranoia.

i think it has something to do with this because when i smoke and in anxious before i always have a trippy high where i feel like im going to die. dont think before you smoke, just do it. :jointsmile: try to smoke somewhere really chill with some cool friends, that might help.

I had a similar experience as your when I was living in Tonga.I smoked up some weed my freind grows in his yard and I walked home and tried sleeping and I could swear there were people in my yard talking,I kept looking out my window and saw no one I even went outside and walked around my house at 1am(I felt like such a chronic) but I remember seeing these white things that looked like spirits flying around,it was weird.

[bfaded]

it was probably a combination of low tolerance, a good sativa, and you being anxious before smoking.

set and setting play a major role in your perceptual experience of a drug (more so for strong psychadelics like lsd and shrooms) so the fact that you were basically expecting to have a freaky high made it somewhat of a self fulfilling prophesy.

i say try smoking less weed with a few friends, maybe even have a beer or two before you light up

Hey everyone,

Thanks a lot for the responses. I took some pictures of the bud I have (still have about 3g left) and wanted to post them but I can't find the cord for my camera. I was told it was kush, I have no idea what it actually is.

Anyway, I tried smoking on friday and did a single hitter and got a little giggly which I was happy with, then last night I chilled with a buddy and had a few more hits and definitely got that feeling of old again. So maybe it was (at least partly) in my head.

after reading some of your posts and thinking about it, I think you guys hit the nail on the head saying the first time was legit, the next two were a self fulfilling prophecy because it was definitely all I was thinking about when I was doing it, and I felt the effects before even exhaling from my first hit, which means it was most definitely a placebo effect.

Again, thanks a lot for your help.

its called an anxiety attack man, i get those all the time when I smoke lately..it truly is all in your head though.

the same thing has happened to me after i bought weed from a gang banger pins and needles feeling heart beat for days etc. and when i smoked it my mouth got numb and i was twitching worse than michael j fox. and i continued twitching a little for a long time. my friend said it was probly laced with COKE and or METH

[BongLoser]

Among is being laced another things could be any medication you were on or started between those times? I was on zoloft for 2 years and smoked with no problem but a few weeks ago I started some bipolar meds and it gave me a really freaky high that I hated and was almost to trippy for me and made me nauseated a bit. Just somethin to think about also think about your diet if you had maybe to much caffeine? Just some thoughts man.

Just gotta remember that you can't overdose so you're most likely in no real danger if you're just hanging out at your place or something like that. Take it easy and go slow, you've got all night...

Far as the trips, I'd agree with most everything that's been said already. No tolerance plus good herb plus crazy hits equals crazy trips.

The stuff you're smoking is too strong for your tolerance, try getting some mids to start bringing it up.

The first time my roommate and I smoked chronic he felt the same as you. He thought he was having a heart attack and was gonna die and kept telling me and the other roommate to call 911 cause he seriously thought he was gonna die.

We told him to chill out and take it easy cause it was just the chronic, and we couldn't help but laugh. He left for his corner in the living room and spent some time alone and when his high calmed down he realized it was in his head.

I used to get the same feelings as you, but knowing that any discomfort I get is in my head usually gets me right back into a giggly stage. Nausea can happen sometimes, usually happens to me if I smoke a lot.

If you're not willing to go down to mids, try taking 1 hitters for the first couple of days to a week, then start moving up to 2 hits and so on so your body will get used to it.

The patterns that you see are common, as anything that's bright and moving can cause patterns to come up when you close your eyes. This happened to me when I played Guitar Hero for the first time intoxicated. I was so high I kept leaning side to side, and when I was done I felt quite disoriented and kept seeing the moving patterns everywhere I saw for a while, with open or closed eyes.

Next time you smoke, try clearing your head of those thoughts and putting on some relaxing music or something.

Just go with it, the more you resist it the worse itl get.
