But I got so high, I think I really freaked out because I couldn't concentrate on anything, everything was blurry for the most part. My breathing was shallow, my heart was racing. So my question is this, will that feeling eventually go away so I can enjoy it. So far, it hasn't been all that enjoyable. I love getting drunk, but it takes too long and takes too much now that I've been drinking for decades. With this, only a second and about one hit...but this time..damn. I called a friend who finally talked me down from it, who told me to calm down, of which I did, and then started to enjoy it. I just want to know, will I ever stop having the negative effects of pot?
My first time was a lot like yours. It went away for me, and I can enjoy getting stoned. Dont quit smoking the herb just yet. Try it out a few more times. The most that could happen is that you get paranoid for a few hours. Just remember that nothing bad is going to happen, and the idea of you dying was purely the paranoia caused by the pot. Sometimes when you get high you can only concentrate on one thing at a time. If you think about how your heart is racing, and how you're going to have a heart attack and die, then it will seem more intense, and only cater to your paranoia. Once you get over it, and realize this... you can enjoy it. But about your blood pressure... yeah, you might want to try eating it or vaporizing it, like Birdgirl said.
