Freaking Out- First Time

So, about a month ago, a friend of mine helped me smoke my first joint, and I guess I just feel kinda wierd about the whole thing...

Well, it was strange... I was insane. Like crazy crap like rolling on the floor and chewing on random things.... Is that normal?! My friend got so freaked out from seeing me do all that he mellowed out.

And then when I hit my mellow stage I kept talking about wierd philosophical stuff... But I kept going back and forth between that and the insanity for the longest time before I completely mellowed out... Is that normal?!

Also, I have seizures. During the high I got some really bad ones. But I haven't had a single one since then... Is marijuana supposed to help with that?

Ever since then I've been wondering if I should ever try that again. What do you guys think?

 

i think you need to tell your doctor what happened....weed doesnt make people act like you say you did and yes...weed can be used to help control epileptic seizures with your doctors approval

 

Oh dear... I think I'll just stay away from it for a really long while, thanks.

 

Never ever ever EVER eat psychedelics.

 

You sound like your a lot of fun when your stoned.

 

Wow totally reminds me when i had my first (6 or so) one hitters of really good weed. i hadnt smoke anything quite that powerful before and i had similar experience. felt like i was going insane..oh yeah i was drinkin too so that just made me feel even worse. didnt wanna be touched and the only way for me to kinda calm down was to just lay in bed and watch tv and try to concentrate on that and not the fact that i was going to possibly lose my freakin mind... yeah...good memories.

i wish i could get high like that again.

 

lol. Yeah, that pretty much sums it up, though I wasn't drinking. I think it hit me especially hard because I had about the same amount as my friends who are about twice my size and have done it before. But yeah, I get what you mean with the whole loosing your mind thing....

 

It doesnt help that i have anxiety(handed down to me from my moms dad) so i just had to tell myself that nothing bad was happening and that i was just freaking out and it would pass.

but you mentioned you have seizures so id discuss it with a doc before you do it again..and if he gives the OK be sure to keep like some food around to bring you down from your high if you begin to freak out.

 

I think weed would actually trigger seizures for sensitive people cause i know a kid around here who had one the first time he smoked but hes a complete bitch..

and i figured it would cause its making your brain super active

 

WTF?!?


Anyway, wow, strong reaction. You guys sure it was JUST weed and nothing else? If so, it was probably super-dank (i.e. very, very high THC content like 15-21%). You probably just took too much in. Try a single hit next time and relax into it for 30-60 minutes with good music playing - see how that feels.

Do a little, simple meditation (focus on your breath) before hand and do abdominal breathing if it feels too intense - slow, deep, steady breaths, using your abdominal muscles, It's remarkably calming. Ensure your feet are flat on the floor and just breath. If you have a pet, draw them near to you, enjoy their company.

The seizure thing is worrisome, especially if that is already an issue for you. I'd want to talk to a medical professional. Intuitively, it seems like it could help calm seizures which are little storms of out-of-control brain activity/firing, but I am NOT a doctor and don't know.

 

first time i smoked weed i had a panic attack, everyones different. I took that second go at it..maybe you should too?

 

your first time sounds pretty common to me. once you build up a tolerance it will not have that effect.

 

That honestly doesn't sound that abnormal to me, a little crazier than my first time, but only a little.

The seizure thing though... Talk to a doctor man..

 

I'm thinking I'll wait a while, then see if a second time is any better.

I've been tested for my seizures, but they don't know what's causing it. (Non-epileptic)
Plus, I don't have them very often (only when I'm really stressed out), so some of the doctors are in the "I haven't seen any, so how do I know you're not lying to me?" stage. (I mean really, why would I lie about something like that?!) I don't feel comfortable talking to them about this, especially since I'm only 16, living in a state where using "bad" drugs for medical purposes is completely unacceptable.

 

I totally flipped out the first time I smoked homegrown Humboldt weed. And sometimes weed just does not agree with a person. I still can't smoke very much or bad things happen. So if you ever decide to try it again just start out slow and don't have very much.

 

I hate when doctors give that attitude... I hope you find a good doctor to be able to talk about this with

 

Um... I'm pretty sure it was weed. But we took a lot, even alot for my friend who was with me, and he smokes weed fairly often. I don't know how much exactly, I just remember watching them stuff the 4 joints until nothing else would fit, plus we had extra for the pipe... All that was shared between the four of us.

I'll try that next time, it sounds much more enjoyable.

 

i used to smoke with a guy in high school that went crazy like that when he smoked too. its not that uncommon. he eventually built up a tolerance and now he's just a mellow ol' stoner. Next time just take a couple of hits and don't over do it, you can gradually increase how much you smoke as your tolerance goes up. its all about knowing your limits

 

I remember my third time smoking, my friends decided it would be a good idea to blaze through an quarter of Sour D. Near the end, I felt like a freakin weeble-wooble and was just rocking in circles for a while before I ended up passing out. I would suggest trying smaller amounts and working up to normal smoking, especially if it helps with your seizures.

 

yeah, the first time I smoked weed I ate an entire cake and laughed nonstop and rode on a girl's back down the stairs - so your situation sounds normal apart from the seizures
