Diminishing tolerance--what is going on?

[Shai Hulud]

Ever since this bad trip I had on the 14th, I have had EXTREMELY LOW tolerances to weed. I mean really fucking low. A few days ago I got blazed off two hits of vaporized weed, which is weaker than most schwag. Friday I inhaled half a volcano bag (about three to four hits) of mid-grade and I got so high I was hallucinating for hours. I woke up several times in the night and was still high.

What the hell is going on? A few weeks ago, half a bag of mid-grade would have gotten me buzzed, at best. I usually take three or four bags at the minimum, and am capable of taking two to three times that without becoming incoherent.

Also, I used to be able to get only so high, despite how much weed I smoked. Once I peaked out, continued smoking would only prolong the high, not necessarily enhance it. That doesn't happen anymore. There's no limit to how high I can get. This may sound awesome at first, but it's not, because when I go overboard, I get paranoid as hell and start having anxiety attacks. I never had a single anxiety attack or even a hint of paranoia until recently. Now I have to be really careful not to smoke too much. But even if I only smoke enough to get relaxed, it's still not particularly pleasant. I start getting nervous even at extremely low doses.

Am I just weird? Has this happened to anyone else? What can I do to lessen the paranoia and anxiety attacks?

I think this is happening as a direct result of my bad trip. I feel like my mind is more fragile now, causing it to react more to psychotropics. I think I'm going to stop smoking for a while. I don't want to stop for good, but I might have to if this doesn't stop. Getting high isn't worth this.

Ive always had a pretty low tolernce but i love it makes weed cheaper because i dont have to smoke as much. If it is happening just accept theres nothing wrong with a low tolerence. i used to smoke unhealthy amounts of weed and started having terrible trips so i just slowed down on how much i smoke. Also just smoke until you get high then stop.

Shut the fuck up, asshole. Why would I make this up? I'm asking people for advice and you have to be a jackass and doubt me for no reason whatsoever. Get a life.

And when I said I got blazed off two hits of vaporized weed, I mean tI was smoking it. The remainders.

I know EXACTLY how you feel bro, same shit happens to me now. But I still have to smoke a lot. But if I smoke by myself then I get really paranoid. It gets bad, I mean I hate to say this but I think what you're experiencing is early stages of schizophrenia, that's been going on for me for just about a month now for me maybe a little longer. But when I'm high I usually feel "Crazy" like I'm having a crazy mental breakdown. But when I'm sober I'm back to normal. Like I completely freak out if its at night and I'm really fucking high, I get so scared for NO REASON. Sometimes its crippling. I'd say either counter it with some booze or just relax and smoke only with friends or small amounts by yourself.

Also when I smoke with people I seem fine. Well if you figure it out be sure to tell me because I know what you're talking about and it SUCKS!

Look, sorry for snapping at you, but I have serious concerns about my mental health here and would appreciate it if people would not doubt me for no reason.

I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this. I forgot to mention this, but the extent of my paranoia is related to how many people are present as well. Five or six days ago I smoked with five or so people around me and it was like old times. No paranoia. I didn't have much weed at all, but it was enough to get me high and I didn't feel uncomfortable. And I get scared for no reason. Friday when my girlfriend left the room for a few minutes I got all panicky and started feeling like I was going to die. I mean, I know I'm not really going to die, but when it's happening I really feel like I will. And if I start thinking about dying or anything negative, it just gets so much worse. I could barely move Friday night. It was horrible. I've considering drinking because I know alcohol tends to lessen the psychotic effects of marijuana, but I'm not sure I'm convinced the answer to my problems is to use more mind-altering substances.

I just looked up some stuff about schizophrenia and things don't look too good for me. It tends to onset in late adolescence (I'm 19) and can be triggered by a stressful event (This bad trip I had was the most stressful event of my life). I haven't been hallucinating when sober or anything like that, but I have been having random spells of intense depression and anxiety. God I hope I'm not developing schizophrenia. I've read that use of psychotropics like marijuana and shrooms can trigger a latent schizophrenia, but I didn't think it would happen to me. I haven't had any history of mental illness aside from depression, and neither has anyone in my family.

I should probably stop smoking, but sometimes I get to feeling really bad and think if I toke up it will help. Sometimes it helps, but lately it hasn't really. I don't know, maybe I'm just fucked.

How old are you, daZenfmeister?

Dude.. I feel the exact same way, and it's just been happening the last few weeks.

Do you guys ever get 'relapses'? Like 16 hours after you smoke everything will be normal than all of a sudden everything goes crazy and it's like you're high for a few moments.

[passit420]

ya, i get relapses sometimes.i didnt know that is what they were though. igot one at school once, and it lsted for about half an hour. i really couldnt explain it, but i felt really stoned.
