Worried About My First Time

[americansycoz]

Okay, so me and my friend smoked some weed (about a gram) out of a tin foil pipe the other day. Anyway, it was my first time high (my second attempt) and my legs got very wobbly and shakey and my head felt like it was floating; these things i know are pretty normal when high. However, I also felt some symptoms which aren't so commonplace and this is the reason I post. When I was high i felt very emotional, like one second i was laughing my ass off and the next my friend said something (that i wouldn't have bothered me at all if sober) and i just started bawling. These same hypersensitive emotions continued through out the whole high and in addition to crying when the slightest thing made me depressed, I felt like i had been hit in the chest with a sludgehammer and started hyperventilating, taking really deep, abnormal breaths. The feeling in my chest and my breathing could best be described as how alex in a clockwork orange felt when he thought of violence-that's how i felt when something made me depressed. Anyways, i just wanted to know if this is rare and if it might happen when i get high in the future, because obviously they weren't terribely pleasant symptoms.

Sounds like you had a form of paranoia/sadness. At least thats my guess. Ive never been paranoid or really sad when high so i cant say. Im sure it will pass with time though young one.

sounds like your crazy man. does your family have any history of mental illness? Drugs might not be for you.

Tin foil = EVIL.

I can't even recall how many times I've had a bad high due to burning tin foil. It's not healthy, and it always made me feel like shit, which is probably what happened to you.

There are other small things that you can do you get a better high as well, pick out your seeds and stems (good bud will rarely have seeds), if possible, get a bong with ice water, and stay away from smoking aluminum :rasta:

No my family doesn't have a history of mental illness only my cousin (intense depression) but i wouldn't say we're anymore prone to illness than the majority of people.
And yes we picked out the seeds and stems; did a real nice job of breaking it up. I guess it was the tin foil, but my friend got a nice high just giggles and shit like i hoped mine would be. Anyway my friend is getting a new pipe soon so we definitely won't be using tin foil again. I just hope it was the foil.

Anyone have a similiar reaction?

How about you?
Do you have a healthy mental condition? Any bipolar tendencies?
What about the enviroment? Stressful, or uncomfortable in any way?
Have you gone through any sort of trauma recently?

You also werent used to it, you'll be able to adapt more now that you know what its like. I remember my first time, I enjoyed it the most part but then got uncomfortable at times cause I wasnt used to it.

Yeah I'd say I'm fairly stable, mentally that is. I did get in fits of depression this past year during school, more than I had previously in my life, but it was never very serious, I never sincerely contemplating suicide or hurting myself. As for bipolar tendencies, um no, my moods are generally pretty stable, I don't just switch moods.
As for the environment, it wasn't really stressful I wasn't too worried about getting caught or anything. But my one friend who wasn't high (because he didn't smoke this time) kept telling me to be more quiet or else I'd get caught and he said he was going to go to sleep soon because it was like 3:00 am, and I started feeling real depressed when said these things cause I wanted to stay up and didn't want to be alone. And also while I was high and getting emotional, he kept jokingly saying, "I never gonna get you high again" and this made me burst into tears and display the previously mentioned symptoms. But it wasn't just his comments, cause even depressing songs got me real down.
And no, I haven't gone through any trauma recently, family deaths or anything. Basically, I can see where all this emotions came from, but I just don't want to be like this next time; I just want to be super chill and happy like i thought I'd be.
