Scary experience

Well I was tokin' my bong in my bathroom one night. I had discovered this thing where if u take a nice big rip, and flex some of your muscles like arms and chest and hold em rigid, it uses up some oxygen in ur lungs and u get one of those headrushes where ur vision fades slightly to black and back to normal, and u get some body "vibrations" and whatnot.

So I was about to take the last hit of my last bowl. I took it, did the muscle thing, overdid it i guess, passed out, and smacked my head on a tile floor. Woke up seconds later, realizing somebody heard that and i had weed, lighters, a candle, and my bong laying there. so I jumped up, cleaned everything as fast as i could, before realizing there were no footsteps... so i was fine.

Huge lump on my head though. Just thought I'd share.

 

thats fuckign creepy

 

ya and sometimes you can pop a vessel in your brain and die...so please dont do that again for your safety, I used to do that, bend over and breath deeply and then get up quickly after a minute and choke myself, gave me quite a rush cuz Id never remember what happened that whole time haha. but I stopped that since its so dangerous.(from what Ive been told my whole life lol)

 

Yeah, be careful dude... you coulda fell on the counter or something and sliced your head open. Just enjoy your high

 

LOL, dude what a fucked up image I just got. Some dude smoking in a bathroom, flexing his muscles, passing out, then waking up and freaking out with paranoia that someone is coming... hahahha too bad you didn't get that on film bro

 

i smoked in the shower the other night. my biggest concern was dropping my pipe from my wet hands. oh, and also getting water in the bowl! the lighter stopped working after a while so i had to call it quits until i got to dry land where it revived.

be careful. peace.

 

I have passed out many times because I was too stoned, but I never did the "muscle thing", as you call it. Whenever I pass out it's because my heart is beating way too fast and my body just can't handle it, and I fall down and start convulsing and sometimes my eyes roll back in my head. I've gotten numerous concussions this way. One time I even cracked the bone over my eye when my head bounced off the corner of a washing machine.

 

You people are fuckin nuts. TNS, ever wonder why you're having seizures when you smoke? Can't be a good sign...

 

I've only passed out once and that was after I had a lot more than normal and was only for a couple secs. Was just walkin out of my friend's parents' bathroom after we all smoked out and right as i closed their bedroom door i turned around and got a big head rush and fell down and got up real fast. Didnt hit anything though.

 

I have a sneaking suspicion that it's mostly caused by paranoia. I expect it to happen which, in turn, increases my heart rate and I start to pay attention to it, then I end up falling out. But when I don't pay attention to it, it seems not to happen. It's weird. It only happens when I smoke weed, but not any other drugs; from psychedelics to downers to stimulants, it only happens when I'm toking. I have noticed that it NEVER happens when I smoke weed after eating some xanax. Maybe I have some sort of panic disorder that is potentiated by the reefer.

 

TNS, it sounds like you have anxiety attacks. Go see a therapist and you might get a script for the xanax.

 

That would be great, but I have no health insurance and no job, so it's a no-go.
Besides, If I got a script for xanax, it would be gone on the first day. I would eat 'em for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in between meals. I eat xanax like m&m's.

 

The thing about benzos is that usually you aren't supposed to take them regularly, just keep them on you so if you feel an attack coming on you can take one early and hopefully abort it.
This means that you could go through a hell of a lot, and the doc would keep 'em coming.
My friend is kindof in the same situation as you. He's pretty broke, and could never get health insuarnce by himself. So he's applied for the state-run type, and get's his adderol each month.

But yeah, look into the g'vt programs, even if you don't want the xanax then you are better off in case something bad happens.

 

That's the problem though, I DO want the xanax. I love getting xanied up and would go through 'em like cashews. And although they would help some anxiety, they would be used for recreation instead.

 

cool

 

ive only come close to passing out, once. It was in the middle of my kitchen, so i stumbled to the fridge and downed a bottle of water. fixed me up good

 

a hit where you squat down and rise while your inhaling is called an "Elevator Hit"

 

This has happened to me a couple of times. Always sitting down, thankfully. And seizure seems to be a good description. Last time I did it, I was out for a few seconds, but was REM dreaming something crazy. I never noticed any different heart beat when this has happened, more like lack of oxygen I've always thought? I agree though, it can't be good for you.

oh, and sig other calls it 'fishing'.

 

When it happens to me, it always feels like a REALLY DEEP stoned trance feeling. Just zoned the fuck out. And yeah, I only pass out for a couple of seconds and wake up feeling very euphoric and buzzed, which has lasted for up to a week at times, probably a result of a concussion from my head bouncing off of things. Anyway.......

 

Damn... Ive never experienced something like that. Even after facing a kief blunt.
