So the other day I tried pot for the first time. I had always been holding back on it till this summer holidays. I didn't expect much, maybe a light giddyness and relaxed and giggly. But I got so scared. We were out at a park in my neighbourhood at night. four of us. I inhaled about 6 good tokes, holding it in for as long as i could. I thought it'd hit me after 2 minutes but nothing was happening so that's why i had 6. I was standing up texting when everything got really slow, the letters on my phone were punched in at slow motion. I felt light headed, that feeling when you're about to fall over or faint. I got really scared cos i thought i might faint. I had to be home at 12 and i was worried that i'd still be really stoned. I was shaking and my heart was pounding really fast. I got paranoid and thought my mum was pulling into the car park. The others were laughing and saying i was really baked. I realised it wasn't my mum ofcourse, so we left the park. The others skated on down the hill, and i full on thought car drove into the car park starting screaming at my 3 friends and telling them off. I thought it was someone coming to take me home or some shit. I heard my friend say ''I gotta call my dad''. I was scared but kept walking to see who was there, only to find out that no one had pulled up at all and they were just yelling to one another. I was worried that my mum would calll me cos i couldn't talk right, without having a shaky voice. We got to the vilage and went to have pizza, i drank an orange juice and the bottom of the juice was really strong as if all the concentrate was at the bottom. my mouth felt dry. I ate cos the guy i was with told me it'd ease off the high. I didn't really understand what my friends were going on about, probly cos i wasn't listening. I thought the pizzaguys were calling the cops, i wasn't sure, but i was suspicious. really paranoid. They'd look up at some tv as if expecting something, then sort of talk about us while they looked at us. Laughing and shit. We sat down ate the pizza, my drunk friend started smashing bottles and glass went everywhere, then my friend picked up a piece of pizza from the ground and i thought he was eating the glass for a second. Man it was wierd. We walked home and my friend talked to me on the way, talking was good. He knew i was scared and shit. But when i confirmed with him that i could stay at his house, it got better. I tried to calm down, and stop shaking, taking in the presence around me rather than thinking about something that might happen. Things got all good when we arrived at his house, walking was better than sitting down. I had my hands in my pocket but it felt like they weren't, hard to explain. everything was all good by 12 and the buzz had stopped. I had a horrible sleep, with delirious dreams, still thinking about the night. I wasn't full on freaking out, i still knew that i had to keep with the guys and try chill out. Is this normal for the amount i had or for someone trying for the first time in circumstances like mine, out on the streets at night with the fact that my mum expected me home at 12. I just didn't know how long it was going to last. I hope it doesn't bring out a paranoid personality in me. But i'm all good and im happy i had the experience, and if i hadn't had the worries in my head i'd have been ok i reckon, at someones house chilling with some music on.
Hmm..weed doesn't do that to you, I've heard you get hallucinations (it's a possibility) but the way you've described it..hmm I don't know. Maybe you had a bad trip? In any way, I'm no expert in these things.
the "slow motion" effect happened to me my first time. you better enjoy the highs you get now because they will never be that good again, and i think you were just overly paraniod.
that's what happens when you're new to getting high. marijuana doesn't make you hallucinate as such, but it amplifies your perception and if you're feeling sketchy your thoughts will be on the paranoia train. you just have to become acclimated and learn to handle it.
Totally normal... ive been smoking for 2 years and i still get that... time slows right down and everything happens in robot like movements. I think weed effects people differently depending on the type of person smoking.. I think/worry about alot of shit while sober... so when high its just amplified. Some people are very laid back while sober and this is reflected when high. As for the worrying that the pizza guys were calling the police, i used to get that too.. but you realise that they don't give a shit or don't even notice your high. Once i got stopped and questioned in an alley way by a policeman after literally just finishing a spliff and i was shitting bricks.. but he didn't suspect a thing.
i know what you mean dude, sometimes I get almost parnoid hallucanations (like right at the beginning). We usually smoke on this bike path right by my house, and after we finished, I swore I heard someone coming with like 7 kids there. there is like a constant battle in my head about wheterh I should just chill, or worry. The scarriest thing happenned to me a few months ago. Again, at about 4-5 o'clock, we smoked on the bike trail. We were just chilling there, and I was not worried about anything at the moment, when I turned my head and I saw my fucking parents walking down the bike trail. It took me a few seconds to realize it was real, because sometimes I just get paranoid and think stuff like this, and I was SO scared. I was able to play it off tough as they just called me and pretended to ask where I was and shit. But, anyway, It was SCARY.
alot of what weed is about is set and setting, and usually being outside in a public place with people around is a bad setting. i think everyone can relate to thinking that EVERYONE around you thinks your high, and is going to snitch on you. in reality, most people don't even pay attention, and even if they do notice, they wouldn't really care, everyone has their own personal problems and couldn't care less if they see someone else stoned. next time you smoke do it at your friends house with no adults around, it will be a great experience.
It happened his first time, and he took a lot. I got really paranoid my first time (smoked two joints with two other gals) but I also had a lot of fun. If he takes less next time and slowly works his way up, I think it'll be better. Everybody has a weird first time. And I think it was mean for his friends to make him to do it in the park. They should have done it at the house, where it was safe, so he could have a good first time giggling and watching a good movie or something.
Well if your new to weed, and you know that you have stuff to do later, it sucks. Your mind thinks of all of the stuff that can go bad, and it scares you 10 times more then without smoking. It happened to me my first time I was introduced to the beautiful, amazing plant. I think you just need more experience.
Haha that made me laugh! I so know how you felt! The 1st time i smoked weed i totally freaked out & started crying & screaming... but i think that was because the weed was laced with like heroin or something apparently
