alright, first I should explain that I am pretty new to marijuana. just started a week or two ago and have smoked four times. Last night I had a really bad trip and I am curious why it happened and if this is very common or not. My first couple highs were really awesome. then, last night I went to a movie with friends and it gave me a huge adrenaline rush. afterwards when we walked outside into the cold, I was chattering and shaking already from the adrenaline and cold. then I took a hit out of my friend's pipe. a few minutes later I started feeling really sick, and I started shaking a lot worse. we got to my friend's house and I spent the next two hours laying on the couch, twitching and convulsing, rocking myself back and forth. I was kind of high, except this time it felt BAD and I couldn't stop myself from shaking. (with one exception of about five minutes where I laughed nonstop.) the whole experience was absolutely terrible and made me want to quit smoking forever, and even this morning I am still twitching and having heebie-jeebies in my legs. so, has anything like this happened to you guys? I don't think it was the weed because my friends were smoking the same stuff and they felt great. i'd really appreciate it anyone could explain why this may have happened and if it's very common. thanks
i would blame the cold. and bein new. it also could have been stronger weed than you are used too. slow down so u dont get a wicked nasty tolerance man
I have seen this happen before, and I've had panic attacks myself on weed. I don't know what to tell you really except not to smoke too much in a single sitting. Avoid bongs. Some people are just more sensitive to weed and can get really anxious and paranoid when really high. It can be very scary... don't listen to all of the idiots on here who think weed is harmless and only produces good feelings, because it's just not true. Just take 1-2 hits from a joint or a bowl next time you smoke, and stick to small amounts like that for a while and then gradually increase.
Yeah if you smoke more than you are comfortable with, then you will experience something bad. I rememer one day when I thought I got too high and was freaking out. After that happened I was able to get high off 1-2 hits up until this year. Once I started smoking every day, it takes at least one bowl of dank.
being a complete newbie to drug terminology I probably used the wrong word. What I meant to describe was that dreamlike or trance state of mind. normally this is a good feeling that helps me enjoy music, but during my last trip it was very very bad. thank you everyone for your feedback. I will take things slowly for a while.
just thought I'd post a quick follow-up. have smoked several times since the bad trip and it's been great ever since. I'm pretty sure the shaking/twitching was a part of being new because I think I remember doing that a little bit during my first few highs. after a few more times it was practically gone. tomorrow I will be switching to a vape (hotbox) and am looking forward to it very much. wish me luck.
it happened to me too jezpax. and it happens to me everytime i smoke too much, but now i can control it. I just relax and know that its gonna happen if i smoke too much, so i dont get scared. Its because when that happens the first time you get scared because you dont know why its happening, and you freak out, making it worse. Now, i just ignore it, and 5 minutes later it will pass and il enjoy being mega baked
I smoke quite abit but one day after blazing my ear hurt like crazy it was the worst ear ache i've had but it did'nt feel like pain completey so i could endure it easier and i just ignored it but if i was new it could of been a bad bad trip but i find if you ignore whats wrong like that it goes away. But thats my only case like that so i dunno plus it's nearly impossible to ignore shaking. i think the cold could of caused my ear ache and your shaking.
