Alright… so I have been curious about pot smoking. In the past I have smoked twice. The first time I was so drunk I couldn’t tell any difference… the second time was two light hits and I didn’t feel much of anything.
Believe it or not in college I worked in a “Head Shop” for 2 years and I never smoked during that time. Recently I had been wanting to see what it was like however.
In the new position at work I recently started I work in close contact with someone that has become a “work friend” somehow it came out that he “sells”. Well I ended up buy a $40 bag of some “good shit” a couple of weeks ago. I decided since I hadn’t felt much in the past I would go all out this time.
One evening I bought a pipe and went out back (so as to not smoke in the house) and took 2 THICK hits, went back in and watched a little TV and after awhile started to feel a little tingly but not much so I went back out and took another thick hit. I followed that hit with 2 more extremely thick hits and went back in.
I soon realized that I might have overdone it. Shit got fucked up real fast. I was soon paralized (nearly literaly) on the couch with my world spinning around me. Every sensation in my mouth seemed to be multiplied by 1000 an I had this nausiating feeling of being pulled forward and up by every molecule of my body. I swear I felt my tounge swell to twice its size and I started to panic that I was going to choke on it. I calmed myself down. Then I forgot how to breath. I swear to God I forgot how to breath. I. did. not. know. how. to. breath! It suddenly kicked in and I gasped for breath (that was the only instance of THAT thank god). I also realized that I was trapped on the couch and did not know how to walk. I knew that if i stood up and tried that I would not know how and would fall. At this point I considered calling the paramedics but then reasured myself that it was only because of the pot and I would soon come down. This only lasted 15 minutes or so and then I came to a point where I was extremely wasted but I knew I wouldn’t die. I also found that if I stayed REAL still and looked at ONE thing I felt OK… but if I looked around or at anything moving… shit got fucked up good. The WHOLE time I NEVER liked a thing I was feeling. I kept hoping that I would come down soon. Gradually I did and soon I could walk… I ate some pizza crust and I swear I could feel ever crumb in my mouth and every crumb scrape down my throat like it was cutting. I gradually came down. All in all from the first feeling to the end I could feel the effects for about 5 hours though the worst lasted 1/2 hour or slightly less (the panic time).
I can NOT say I had a good experience… in fact the whole time I was wishing for it to stop. All from ONE bud. I now have this $40 bag of MJ that I will never smoke again. I can’t bring myself to after that.
Is it possible to have an allergic reaction to marajuana… or did I just smoke TOO DAMN MUCH STRONG SHIT? Anyone ever experience something like that from pot?
My friend, it sounds like you scored some good shit. Remember that weed, like many drugs, amplifies your emotions. You were most likely paranoid and worried beforehand and it multiplied after you got totally stoned. I’ve seen a few people have “bad pot trips” before, but it was all in their head. A little talking to brought them right out of it. Next time, smoke a little and then go mess around for a bit. Pot should kick in almost immediately and max out in some matter of minutes, which you can then ride for a while. The stuff I have now, I can feel it in my eyes as I smoke it. Anyway, now that you’ve got over the hump, try it and chill. Looks like the worm has definitely turned for you Whammo, my boy.
Prolly just too much too fast, dude, especially if you’re a lightweight smoker.
Myself, I haven’t indulged in a few years, and prior to that, it had been a few years as well. My tolerance isn’t very high at all. As a result, I’ve had a few not-so-pleasant experiences, too. That’s why I finally gave it up. It was like “well, do I want to smoke all the time to build up a tolerance, or should I just give it up?” I chose giving it up. Since I did it so rarely, I just didn’t feel a need for it.
Been exactly there, Whammo, but I got over it pretty quickly and had a grand old time for a couple of years. Gave it up for a couple of much more serious reactions: I woke up in the middle of the night, and suddenly I no longer had any questions what it felt like to be in the loony bin. It was a very unpleasant feeling, which I did not feel like risking a third time, even though 99.5% of my “youthful experiment” I still recall quite fondly.
And in my experience, nobody’s going to sell you adulterated weed without telling you first.
my memories do include times where the high was delayed a bit (creeper weed) and also rather intense. is the bud just green or is there perhaps orange crystals or fur? or something else that looks outta place?
short of actually coming over and sparking up a bowl it’s a wee bit hard to diagnose but it definately looks like you had too much too quick and you’re a lightweight
My bad on that one. I read it wrong. Still I’ve smoked marijuana very very few times twice to be exact. I smoked a whole helluva lot with no ill effects other than toasting some needed brain cells. Either you got something that was just f*cking unbelievable or hell i have no idea.
I will attempt to keep this generic, since we’re not really supposed to discuss illegal activity
No matter what you’re indulging in, it’s always better to do a little less than a little too much. You can always go back for more. If you decide to try it again, start out with a little pinch. Wait at least 20 minutes for it to kick in before you think about any more. Sometimes it may take a few sessions before you’re familiar enough to realize where you’re head is at.
I would be more inclined to say that you just had a potent product, rather than any adulterants.
I… know a guy… named… er, Tom, and when Tom smoked the first time, he just got kinda giggly. Then he smoked some more, and got really, really stoned. He remembers going to class, feeling something was extremely important to share, then the class laughing at him. Then, sleep, and then, slowly coming down as the class was getting over (it was an 8 hour class, Tom smoked during lunch).
The second time Tom got high, he had about 10 big hits off a jay, then about 6 double hits off a water bong. Wow. Tom forgot how to talk, and, like you, could not move. Eventually he summoned the courage to go get a glass of water (he was really thirsty) and stumbled in and got one. When he sat back down on the couch, he just stared at the water a for about 10 minutes, drank it all in one shot, burped up some smoke, then puked all over the carpet. The other people there (about six others) helped him walk to the bathroom, where he cleaned himself up (slowly), and then sat on the toilet (lid down) and contemplated meatball sandwiches for about two hours, until he was sober enough to talk and move about again.
They still tease Tom about that all the time.
Anyways, Tom didn’t want to smoke again after that, but did, and ever since, has always found it an entirely pleasurable experience.
A “friend” of mine has definitely had a few bad experiences with marijuana, despite being quite an enthusiastic smoker. Twice, he’s been so stoned, he had to just sit down and basically wate for the world to stop flickering. You know how sometimes, if you sit in one place for a while, then stand up and move around quickly, you get that rush, and maybe see black around your peripheral vision. It was much like that, except, he saw flickering black on every dark object in sight. Combine being too stoned with the aforementioned “stand-up rush” and he might almost hit the floor.
So yeah, you probably smoked too much. Four strong hits of potent reefer when you’ve never really been high before can definitely do you in. And since you’re so inexperienced, you should definitely give it plenty of time to kick in. Frequent smokers will notice the effect in a minute or two, but when my friend got high for the first time (second time smoking, about 9 months after the first time), it took about 30 minutes for it to kick in, and when it did, he was really stoned.
I had a similar thing happen to me in Amsterdam. I wasn’t smoking any dope at the time but felt obliged to partake in the local customs. Half of the joint I picked up at a cafe for around $3 put me in the fetal position in my hotel room… sensory overload sort of thing. I’m just glad that a) I was actually in my hotel room and b) I had only smoked half the joint. Being the resilient sort I have since hopped back on this particular horse and have never experienced anything nearly so unpleasant. My roommates and I are trying to lay off the weed these days but that has more to do with our apathy and lack of motivation which would bring us into a whole other thread.
Yes, you can be allergic to Marijuana - but you certainly arent.
You sound more like me in Amsterdam, that day when I woke up and smoked… and smoked and smoked… and drank half a bottle of whiskey too… and then I thought I would die as well…
The world was spinning - I hardly could move… some sleep did the trick and the next two days I didnt smoke at all … after that I smoked normal doses.
Oh… just saw socpro s reply LOL
A friend of mine gets totally fucked after smoking only half a joint or even less.
She will be hearing voices, see things and have no more control over herself - out of reality somewhat.
From what she (and all the friends who have been with her when she was mashed) put it like it sounds exactly like she had taken a hell of a lot acid instead of only smoking weed.
I know for a fact that her weed hasnt been laced… Got the same dealer…
When my rents tried weed out back in their hippie years (way before my existance… ) my mom already puked from the smell in a small room some friends had been smoking in. She hadnt taken one single hit. She also started seing little dwarfs and shit. It might have been laced… who knows… but then how would she get so seriously fucked from simply breathing in some of the smoke in the room???
PS: Yes good weed can give you dilusions… I have heared birds talk to me and stuff like that… it was never unpleasant though and happens very rarely.
I have smoked weed all of once, and I didn’t feel anything from it at all. No giggles, no munchies, nothing. I’ll probaby get another try on New Years, but after reading this, I’ll be a little more careful than I might have.

This is another strange phenomenon of weed. Many times people don’t feel a thing at all from smoking their first few times, myself included. I think it took about four seperate occassions to actually get high, but then it became much better. I have never had a “bad trip”, it is all in your head. If you think you will freak out, you probably will. Just relax and go with the flow
I ve know ppl who were completely imune… even after smoking several times.
A friend of mine can smoke 2 g without feeling much.
As for me: I ll always stay a “lightwaight” - very small doses will get me mashed - I could smoke more now without any problems, but why spend more money than I have to?
