Actually nearly every smoker I know has gone through that , usually at one point in the rookie phase. I was already a heavy smoker before I had my bad pot trip. We had one of those five foot Bongs, That you can pull most of a bowl into, then pass around. It was my turn to fill, and my friend who was known for the tightest pack in the region had set me up, so I took a couple really hard drags to fill(cause t\so little air flows through the hard pack), then decided to pull the rest of the bowl, closed my eyes, and began a superman like inhalation. Unfortunately one of the other guys reach for his beer,caught his sleeve and pulled the bowl out letting the air flow freely, but because I had my eyes closed I didn’t notice very fast. The result was a hell of lot more smoke than I would ever want to take at once, filling. my lungs without warning. It took me about 5 minutes of coughing to get my lungs cleared out to the point where I felt I was getting sufficient air, and by then it hit me like a 2 by 4. I’m pretty sure the partial asphyxiation was part of what happened to my brain going haywire. I spent about an hour curled up on the couch in the fetal postion trying to figure out why time was going backwards, and why I knew everything that was going on in the entire world(don’t ask, I can’t explain it very well, but it freaked the hell out of me at the time)

If you are a depressed person the after effects of marijuana can increase the depressive moodset.
Where you’re really wrong is concerning psychotics. Marijuana has a strong tendency to increase psychosis in people whom are experiencing it, and can also (and does quite often I might add) trigger psychotic episodes in schizophrenics for example.
Marijuana is fine for most people but is not a good idea for a large portion of the mentally ill.
If Beer is god’s was of letting us know he loves us
Then The Green is Natures way of letting us know we should all just chill the hell out and stop being so mean to her all the time

Sorry about that silo… I was only talking from private experience and those of friends.
The circle I smoke with is full of clinically depressed people and psychotics/shizophrenics plus the odd anxiety disorder and neither of us has had bad trips so far that were not triggered by simply overdoing it.
But then all the mental people I smoke with are on medication and I have never heared that it interferes with medication… when you suffer from a mental illness that is not treated in any way and smoke I understand that can and will backfire.
I used to be on anti psychotics and I never noticed that the weed had any influence on them… but I have never had bad dilusions anyways…
dodgy
wolfman- similar thing happened to me backin the day. I am a petite chick, and my crowd didn’t think I took big enough hits. So we fired up Manitoba, my friend’s 3 foot tall bong, and filled the chamber with some really skunky, hairy shit. I then went to take my hit out of the chamber, and some asshole pulled the stem and I accidently cleared it. 3 FEET OF SMOKE!
I wanted to cough it out, I really did, but you have to be able to BREATH in order to cough, and I seriously didn’t think I could breath. I hit the bathroom and started trying to cough over the toilet, just in case I puked by mistake. The whole time, I’m thinking how embarrassing it’s gonna be to die in a bathroom of “too big a bong hit.” I mean, how’s that going to look on a death certificate? Not that my friends would have called anybody, because then THEY might get caught with the rest of the pot.
It was an insane 5 or 6 minutes.
My my, those were the days.
