smoking weed on shrooms causing blackouts and siezures

the last time that i smoked weed while i was shrooming, the trip started to get really intense and all of a sudden i felt overwhelming feelings of anxiety and confusion and everything around me started to close in around me and go black. it was one of the most frightening things i've ever experienced. also, about two days ago, the same thing happened to a good friend of mine after he smoked weed while shrooming. except my friend passed out and started having a seizure. this scared the fuckin hell out of me, cause i thought he was dieing. has this happened to anyone else?

..oh and one more thing. under any circumstances, can smoking weed while on shrooms kill you?
thanks a lot

 

you were on shrooms....shit gets intense. weed had nothing to do with those things you describe. your friend shouldnt be shrooming at all if he has a tendency to seize. or was he just tripping really hard? i smoke weed every time i trip, its part of my personal ritual of delving into the psychedelic experience. and no, weed and shrooms can absolutely not kill you. unless you do something life threatening while tripping.

 

my friend has never had a siezure before in his life

 

he was probably just tripping really hard and appeared to be seizing. it would only cause a seizure if he had latent genetic tendencies to have them.

 

metamorphocid, weed is one of many catalysts for mushrooms. it increases the visuals and the body high. and to zachsb, sounds like you just got some really good pot and took a really big hit. it's what we call doin the fish. it's not seizures, you're body starts to twitch a little when the thc rush hits you. it happens to me all the time, even when i'm not on shrooms.

 

Just curious....was it the same weed both times and was it commercial kind of weed?

I've definitely heard of (and seen) people black out for a minute or so from a bong hit of very good weed.

I've heard (but have no real info) that some commercial weed could cause seizures...maybe because it has some eradication poison on it or something...but I've never heard this from a scientific source.

 

Just to clear this up, everyone is prone to having seizures, wether or not you have had them before. Everyone has a threshold to prevent seizures, but certain chemicals lower the threshold, as do stress, anxiety, etc. So pay no mind to what metamorphocid and leapfrod are saying, they are either misinformed or taking uneducated guesses.
The only thing Im left to wonder, is why in most cases when you hear of people having seizures during mushroom trips, they only last a few minutes? The only time this ever occured to me, I felt like my arms were falling asleep, and the pins and needles sensation spread out all over my body, and I fell backwards feeling like I was being electrocuted. Only, this lasted for a few hours, not a few minutes. I think I went in and out of consciousness, though my mind tells me I remember all of the experience. Definite time loops, when the experience was over I truly thought I had entered into pure insanity and was never coming back.
Weird.

Yup, this exact situation happened to me when I was in Amsterdam (hence the weed was of the highest quality).

Was on shrooms and then after smoking a joint, the trip became a lot more intense. I was listening to music and I kept losing track of reality, I couldn't tell whether the walls etc were actually "real", they seemed to keep morphing towards me and kept becoming something else.

Only when certain snippets of music came on, did reality re-appear. (I suppose it was because there was a large degree of familiarity there).

I didn't find this effect frightening or confusing though. In fact it was quite mesmerising. That's not to say that shrooms aren't capable of producing far-out trips WITHOUT weed though, because they can happen and does happen.

I'd recommend sticking with just one joint though, if you simply must have weed as an accompaniment. Shrooms by themselves are enough for most people though.

 

K, we're talking about drugs here. Shit happens, and your taking a risk when you do them. theres a chance you could have a seizure, and theres a chance you could jump out your window and try to fly, but we take it.

and i think theres a difference between a body buzz and the twitches that come with it and a seizure..

 

I personaly never had any problems with the 2 mixed. ussually blaze with any thing with fine results.

 

a BIG fucking difference lol

 

Sucks for who-ever gets a seizure from tokin on shroomies, I've gone the way of the go into my head deep enough that I just lay there and twitch out and not respond to anything for a while, ate an ounce of commercial cubies and ended up in the twitch state for like 5 hours.

I like to mix Caapi in with my weed while shrooming.

 

I've blacked out on weed lots of times. Not while shrooming either. Lots of people I know have it too, like you're really stoned, and you get waves of dizzyness, and then you're on the floor with people standing over you. I've seen it happen to many a stoner. And once, a shroomer too, now that I think about it. He was walking along, and then he got all shaky like a breaking down car, and then he went down, but he didn't pass out.
Pretty much the thing to do if it happens, is stay calm, sit down and drink some water or some orange juice. Everytime I feel it start to happen, that's what I do, and I'll get better in a few seconds.
you just have to rest your body for a minute, it seems to me.

 

i had a similar experience.. i was actually on here looking for some explaination
the first time i did shrooms i had a blast! i tripped with 3 of my good friends in the comfort of my own home. we were smoking quite a bit of pot and i was really enjoying myself.
we had just finished smoking a blunt and everything started getting dark (i thought i was gona pass out, which i have done before but not with drugs, only peircings and shots kind of stuff) so i layed back a little so i wouldn't fall and the next thing i knew-i was walking with a older man, he was tall with dark hair and dark eyes, i would say mid 30's. we walked for a long time next to eachother, everything around me was just white nothing-ness and then i started to hear people calling my name. i looked at the man and told him i had to go, he turned around and said go. then i opened my eyes and it was like i had left my body, i couldn't move or speak, my friends were flipping out and kept asking if that has happened to me before and at this point i am so confused. they told me i was shaking, one of them actually showed me exactly what i was doing, and i strongly believe i had a seizure, not just twitching. after she showed me what i was doing it happened again. everything just went black this time. i was shaking again and then it was over. i just layed there the rest of the night. my body hurt and i felt like i couldn't sleep until the sun came up.

the second time i did shrooms i did blackout but i was told i wasnt shaking. i did blackout twice just like the first time though.

i was smoking pot both times and i do not have any history of seizures

 

Nah, sounds like you were just really tripping balls. While high and tripping, I've watched my muscles contract violently... it happens.

 

i was on lsd once with my sister who was shrooming. we were at a concert and smoking lots of ganja and then she passed out and had a seizure. came to...got on her feet...passed out again. this happened 3-4 times before i was able to carry her to a seat. she had never passed out or had a seizure before this. my take away...hydration is important... ganja is a launch fast button... seizures are scary whilst trippin, but its okay (my trippin mind thought she was dying ). fresh air and water and a seat are good for the body, when the intence body load hits.

 

I think you met Jesus for real. And yes, you probably had a seizure. They are caused by abnormally excited electrical signals in the brain. Sometimes a seizure is related to a temporary condition, such as exposure to drugs.
during my trip I lost all muscle control and collapsed. When I tried to get up I convulsed a couple times. I was a little shocked and confused so I got up and headed for the couch where I felt really tired and just sat there with my eyes closed for about 30 minutes. I felt like I was taking a ride through my brain and I was thinking a whole lot. Some people just aren't meant for some drugs and if you have these effects, you probably aren't meant for shrooms. Once it happens it is very likely it will happen again given the same conditions. Shrooms are nothing to mess with. It shows you just how powerful the earth is. I wish I could still do them because I LOVED THEM but I know i could end up with a permanent injury if I kept doing them. So my advice, tread carefully.

 

Hmmm, I have smoked while on acid and mushrooms a few times. I am not a big fan (unlike Patton Oswalt). I have also been with people doing the same. I never even noticed a difference. It may have sped up the lucy, but that's about all I noticed.

However, when I smoked during a mild (20 mg) 4-aco trip, my state of mind went from "giggly, comfortable and open" to "supa-dupa hap-happidy and fuzzy-wuzzy."

Sorry for you and your friend's difficulties. I have never blacked out. When I get to that stage where it seems like every second is minutes apart, every blink of an eye takes me to a different time/situation, I can no longer communicate and I notice (or I think I notice) the phenomenon of synesthesia, an encounter with the void usually ensues.

 

Something like this just happened to me on Friday. I shroomed with 4 close friends of mine and everyone except one of my friends have all shroomed together before and it was all going good until about an hour and a half into the trip. What happened was we were all already tripping then we smoked a blunt and we were splitting a couple cigs and then my friend just fell over a started having a seizure for a minute or two. I know he had a seizure because I went to a Rave called Freak Night the day before Halloween last year and I watched some guy OD off of some bad shrooms right in front of me, my friend was shaking just like him and puking just like the guy from Freak Night. Well it all ended up okay eventually we didn't have to call an ambulance or anything but one of my friends said something like "oh damn were they some bad shrooms?" and both those things put me into the worst trip of my life( and my first bad trip off of mushys) because I kept on thinking I was going to OD like the guy I saw. The weird thing is though that right before my friend dropped I was seeing like my vision start to get narrower( like it was all turning black going towards the center of my vision) and I felt like I was just going to drop but then I saw him and that sure as hell made me keep fighting the feeling of just letting myself slip away. I'm just wondering has anyone ever heard of anything like this happening before?
