Very Very strange experience

I am an experienced pot user for about 2 years now, but a strange and mysterious experience happened the other day. A friend and I were smoking from a lung, similar to a gravity bong but with a bag. Anyway, on my 3rd hit, I take a big hoot, and hold it in and tilt my head back, after about 5 seconds, my vision starts to dissappear like a head rush when you stand up too fast. I then lose my balance and stumble into my friend who helps me stand, my vision returns and I start shaking uncontrollably, but it is giving me a full body experience. It was probably more profound feeling than mushrooms. The shaking stops after about 10 seconds, and the amazing feeling stays for about a minute after that. My friend had a similar experience, except he had a complete memory loss for about 2 minutes. He forgot where he was, who I was, etc... He then had to reconstruct his memory slowly, telling himself what everything was. Any thoughts on this?

 

To me it sounds like a loss of oxygen. Like when you do balloons. All that does is cut the oxygen to your brain for a few seconds and it gives you the same feeling.

 

the vision thing happens to me...all the time. sometimes even when not high

i hate when it happens

 

woah! who knows, maybe vws right about the lack of oxygen thing or maybe u burnt something else in it, like plastic or something, ive accidently smoked stuff i didnt want with my bud!

 

have you ever actually tried mushrooms or are you just assuming it was more profound than mushrooms?

 

Yeah, happens to me too all the time stoned or not

 

i dunno if it is the same thing but i used to occasionally get momentary 'panic attacks' with similar sounding 'symptoms' when i smoked. my mouth would also get that dry i'm gonna heave feeling and my ears roared and then i'd slowly be ok

 

i believe it's orthostatic hypotension. i get that sometimes too. i dont know if it's bad or good, but i know it has something along the lines of blood rushing out of your head for a moment. it all has to do with you standing up to fast, not bearing yourself before standing up. i'm sure pot helps with the spontinuity of standuping up too fast, other then that i can't think of why it'd assist the orthoyatta yatta. happens to me often enough. also, like ol' willy, not even when i'm getting high.

 

Yes I have tried mushrooms, and this feeling was more profound. I do believe the lack of oxygen thing to cut out my vision, but what about the intensely good feeling and uncontrollable shaking? That doesn't happen when you stand up too fast

 

were u coughing alot? I noticed that sometimes when I cough alot after taking a huge hit, i feel really dizzy, and yea, i cant see anything, but its great,( only lasts a few seconds) ... probably lack of oxygen... or something.

 

i dont know what's up with the shaking. maybe it was just a nervous reaction from the orthstatic hypotension? if this was your first time experiencing it, losing vision and getting dizzy, it might have startled you a bit.

 

Lack of oxygen sounds like it could be the case. You were using a lung aswell, so maybe it was plastic burnbing. Could also be the bud, something in it. I know my one friend smoked up and went blind for like half an hour, while my other one on the same session, felt his body was on a roller coaster ride. it ould just be a numvber of factors, all adding up. The memory loss from your friend sounds more scary.
