No i've never passed out. What I described is like really zoning out, like a salvia effect. The rest seemed to be from holding my breath for so long with those big hits. I tried to get the most out of my smoke this way, but i think i'll stop and we'll see.
holding your hits in any longer than 5 seconds is pointless, just remember that. in 5 seconds 98 percent of that THC will be absorbed. every second after that you are allowing nothing but toxins to be absorbed. So don't worry about holding it in, it doesn't help at all!!

Rudy said that if it was oxygen deprivation you would be yawning... but that isn't necessarily true because you can't yawn while you are taking a hit. and the body will try anything and everything to get oxygen to your entire body... which usually includes shaking since it increases blood flow.

So like I said, just take it easy, don't take monster rips and don't hold them in more than 5 seconds. Exercise and a good diet will certainly help with the circulation and blood pressure problem, but either way if things don't get better you gotta go see a doctor. you never know when things like this could be much more serious than they seem (i.e. if your circulation is being forcibly slowed by a swollen gland or blood clot - which I highly doubt is the case lol)

Just be careful and take good care of yourself. That's the best advice I can give.
