Well last night I tried a new batch. I smoked way too much and started to feel dizzy... then my heart started going. I have a rapid heart beat so I put on my heart monitor and it was up to 190 beats a minute (I am a 98lb, 5'2 female mind you) My throat started feeling tight and I felt like I was going to pass out at any moment... my husband put some cold water on me and I focused on bringing my heart down which I got down to 130 and then down to 100 but I still felt like i was dying. Then the nausea and feeling like I had a fever came on... My mind started going thinking maybe my ultram er (extended release ultram) maybe released too much medicine in my system and that i was overdosing on that because I know it is impossible to overdose on marijuana... I guess my question is... should I give it a few days before I smoke again?? I am concerned because of my heart and it getting that high again. I was told my heart should never get above 160 and if it did to go to the ER because i could go into cardiac arrest. Do you all think it would be okay to just take 1-2 hits? I dont think the stuff is that good. It is all compressed together and looks like shit (compared to the homegrown chronic i had a week ago) and because of that I thought I had to smoke a lot of it... I feel like such an idiot and not to mention irresponsible... I really need some reassurance.
such incidences can be solved two ways:

A) consistent and constant exposure to a regular amount of cannabis will result in some mental and physical tolerances, particularly the dizzyness and particularly paranoia in most cases.
B) reduced intake spread out over longer periods throughout the pain relief day for short period exposure.. this allows your body to slowly acclimate over a short period of time and stops you from becoming 'high' without being in control of it.

It's an easy problem to solve, I don't think you smoke enough to have worked this out. I have )

Hope this helps.
