Hey everyone - first post on this site... I want to apologize in advance for how long winded this will probably end up being, but you guys are probably the best ones to help me out.

a quick timeline to fill you in:

8 years ago, age 17: I try weed for the first time.. don't feel anything. I don't end up touching it for a bit because I think its a waste of money as I didn't get a noticeable effect.

6 years ago, age 19: I smoke basically every weekend because my friends always had some and I wasn't paying for it. after a few times I feel the effects of being relaxed, and I am digging it

4 years ago, age 21: I basically fall out of the game and don't really smoke anymore. maybe 4 or 5 times a year at the most.

july of this year: I decide to pick up an eighth. my buddy hooks me up with a dealer who sells top end stuff. I enjoy this much more than I have ever enjoyed a high, and thus get an appreciation for the top shelf stuff.

I noticed that the more I smoked in one sitting, the better I felt. I smoked 3 or 4 huge bowls one night, and felt great. just really really giggly. I decided that unlike alcohol, there is no such thing as too much weed.

The next night, I decided to smoke 5 or 6 huge bowls, and then quickly learned that there definitely is such a thing as smoking too much, as I fell on the floor when I tried to get up from the couch, I felt a little nausea kick in, and was forced to lay on the couch and watch some tv... this wasn't a terrible experience, still pretty chill, but just a little more intense.

august-september 07: total dry spell... nobody had anything in my area.

october: I asked around and my buddy said he knew someone who could hook me up. I told him that I only want the top of the top of the line shit. $120 later I had me a 1/4 of kush, which I hadn't heard of at the time.

the first few times it was awesome, definitely felt different from the other stuff a few months back.

last tuesday: my buddy brings over a bong and we pack it with ice and load up two average sized bowls and smoke while watching TV. This is only my second time smoking a bong. About 20 minutes after that, I start to lose it.

I have pins and needles throughout my body. I feel like I can't sit still, I have to go do something. I get up and take a piss. try to sit back down. my body was not letting me sit still. I get up and walk around for a minute, then sit back down and try to relax myself. as soon as I sit down I get back up, grab a drink of water, sit back down. I am creeped out that my friend is here. I completely forget why he is here. I take a small sip of water and as soon as i swallow it I begin to feel extremely nauseous. I know that leaving my friend in the living room is a bad idea, but I know that I am fucked up and go lay down in bed.

When I get under the covers I am still wide awake, my body wants to get up and do something but I am forcing it to stay down. All the sudden my whole body begins to shake and convulse because I am freezing. I can feel my heart beating at an extremely fast rate, and I briefly consider calling 911 until I reminded myself of that one cop that called 911 after he confiscated then ate pot brownies, and said he was overdosing. he was a laughing stock as we all know you can't OD on MJ.

after all that, I throw on some old episodes of the simpsons to keep my mind occupied. once it comes on, I can't understand the words being spoken. I close my eyes and see strange patterns repeating themselves over and over. I also begin hearing a repeating echo that I know isn't there.

at this point, I start to think that I'm having a heart attack as my left side is completely numb but my right side is fine.

eventually, I fall asleep.

The next day, I could feel the effects all day (which sucked because I had work), and it felt like I was high (but bad high) until I woke up on thursday morning... when I woke up feeling 100%.


I told this to a few of my friends, and they all said to me that I am giving weed "magical powers that it doesn't have," and that "its all in your head."

regardless of what they said, I know what I experienced. However... I missed the days of a few months back when I smoked and chilled.

so friday night I decide to smoke an EXTREMELY small bowl just to get my feet wet. maybe it was all in my head. about 15 minutes after smoking, I started to feel the same things as tuesday, but on a much lesser scale of course.

woke up saturday and was pissed that i got the same high, and wanted to try it again... this was really pissing me off I couldn't get the same relaxing high. smoked again a very small amount.. maybe a 3 hit bowl, and again the same shit happened to me as tuesday (again with a lesser effect).

From sunday when I woke up until now I have had the pins and needles on the left side of my body, and can readily feel my heart beat (its a normal beat, but I am very aware of it and can feel it).

Has anyone ever experienced anything like I have been through? is that (relatively) normal for smoking too much? was it the bong? is it possible for effects to linger this long? is there any link between MJ and any heart irregularities? I couldn't find any.


Thanks a lot for your help everyone, I know its a little long but hopefully you can help me out... I miss smoking and just laughing my ass off and chilling watching the aqua teen DVDs.
