Wierd reaction to Weed HELP/INFO quite long.

[h20490]

Hey GC users,

Before I begin, this is a conversation i took off MSN that I thought I would post up on here, I didnt post this until now as I had my doubts but Galen off here suggested it so here goes.

Please dont spam this up , I wouldnt mind knowing if anyone has had a reaction like this. Also if you have nothing worth while to contribute please dont bother at all.

Back ground info : I have been smoking for 6-7 maybe longer months of heavy use of MJ ie 2 ounce of green a month plus half ounce of hash to an ounce, this has only just happend recently, which kind of sucks as im having a bad start to the year to say the least. I smoke bongs with hash and usually green joints although sometimes bong it.

Usually 3-4 green joints a day and on the weekends more plus bong sessions with my friends.

Heres the convo any help/info mucho appreciated.

galen - [ melancholy flavoured lollipops ] says:
how so
Sidewalks says:
brothers been diagnosed with Chrons disease and now I need to go for tests to see if i have it, uber stressed out with work etc, plus to top it off I "think" im having an allergic reaction to weed as now whenever I smoke any ( I still have half ounce of green and hash) it makes me feel sick near enough to the point of being sick, which is wierd as ive never heard anyone have symptoms like that only
Sidewalks says:
if I/They smoke too much , but Im litterally smoking the same amount as always if anything I put less in
Sidewalks says:
but the effects are still there, plus i dont feel that high anymore,just makes me feel incredibly ill/sick and I have a killer headache (I makes sure I have plenty of fluids and always have somthing inside my stomach.
galen - [ melancholy flavoured lollipops ] says:
go on a TB for like 2 weeks
Sidewalks says:
i did go on a week tolerance break
galen - [ melancholy flavoured lollipops ] says:
hmm
Sidewalks says:
which helped for a day lol as I was greeted with a bong session lol
Sidewalks says:
weird aint it
galen - [ melancholy flavoured lollipops ] says:
mhm
Sidewalks says:
which is why its putting me on a downer
Sidewalks says:
especially when my lifes a bit stressful at the moment, would have posted this on GC but people would call me stupid saying im making it up, but honestly if I was making it up why havent i finished off the ounce i got as that would be damn stupid considering I can toke up an ounce in a week and a half
Sidewalks says:
its been like this for about 2-3 weeks not sure if its because i abused it so much in the space of 6 months , but then I always think there has to be other smokers that smoke the same if not more than me and they must be fine otherwise a thread or somthing would be known
galen - [ melancholy flavoured lollipops ] says:
post on the city
Sidewalks says:
like right now im sitting on my pc with a glass jar of green and a rolled joint in there and my hash near my mouse and im that bothered that i dont dare (little exteme I would smoke it , but the sick feeling ruins the high majorly and lasts ages) weird
Sidewalks says:
I might do, might just copy and paste everything I just put, downsides are Im probably going to take alot of heat when the replies start coming in
galen - [ melancholy flavoured lollipops ] says:
mhm
galen - [ melancholy flavoured lollipops ] says:
why
Sidewalks says:
because, theres alot of users on there that like to jump on the bandwagon and reply slightly aggressive replies like " yo dumb ass u cnt feel sick on weed dude" which kinda aggrivates me a little , like I posted a question well more of a discussion which I wanted more answers to "Glass seals better than rubber o rings" was the thread I just wanted to know why glass sealed better than rubber , gra
galen - [ melancholy flavoured lollipops ] says:
i dont think so
Sidewalks says:
nted probably a stupid thing to go on the GC forum when I was only my 1st day tolerance break
Sidewalks says:
so I was kind of etchy and a bit moody
Sidewalks says:
and I did post a jackass post after I was flamed along the lines of " if glass seals are better why arnt they mass produced in car engines "
Sidewalks says:
thats when it went a bit hectic lol , guy did appologise for jumping down my throat and I also appologised back so It was all cool in the end :-)
galen - [ melancholy flavoured lollipops ] says:
koool
galen - [ melancholy flavoured lollipops ] says:
i g2g tho dude
galen - [ melancholy flavoured lollipops ] says:
good luck
galen - [ melancholy flavoured lollipops ] says:

galen - [ melancholy flavoured lollipops ] says:
later

Any thoughts? I did see a thread about a guy being allergic and had to be sent to the hospital but I dont feel that bad I need to go to the hospital , it just makes me feel really queezy to the point i have to jump up or move otherwise it feels i would be sick instantly, also it makes me hard to concentrate on anything or if I do it makes me feel even worse.

I honestly don't know whats happening with you as im really new to smoking, but maybe it has something to do with the great deal of stress you are dealing with. I'm pretty sure (but don't quote me on this) that stress actually effects the brain in the way of chemicals released and all that. I honestly don't know but that was my best guess, I really hope everything works out (stress wise and weed wise).

Please don't flame me if im totally wrong : )

[h20490]

StrawBack,

That is one of my theorys, I did start back up on smoking MJ because of sleep problems and stress before, maybe Im too stressed and like you said my body is having a little reaction to it.

I also forgot to mention sometimes when this happens my haert beat increases while at resting i.e laying in bed trying to sleep now.
Not sure what could cause that unless its in my head and Im over thinking it and thats causing my heart beat to increase.

Keep the theorys/info coming.

[StrawBack]

Those aggravating things that go wrong in the day and those irritating things that go bump in the night – disrupting routines and interrupting sleep – all have a cumulative effect on your brain, especially its ability to remember and learn.

As science gains greater insight into the consequences of stress on the brain, the picture that emerges is not a pretty one. A chronic overreaction to stress overloads the brain with powerful hormones that are intended only for short-term duty in emergency situations. Their cumulative effect damages and kills brain cells.

Here is the whole article...its pretty long so I didn't read it but it might be useful l to you. If its not then it was worth a try. Just working off the stress idea.

Yeah i kinda know what yer talking bout. For a month, whenever i would smoke i got sick as fuck, and even puked one time. I would just feel like shit. I dont know about u man, but i think i found out the problem for me. B4 all this shit started, i remember drinking and smoking together,something i usually dont do cuz it fucks u up a shit ton more. I puked, and then all the next times i smoked i felt nauseous and shitty. Tryand think if u had a bad xperiance while smoking the reefer, and try to overcome that problem. After bout a month , i felt good bout smoking and got back to my good highs. One thing u could dude is just start smoking by yerself in very comfortable places, and then build up. I dono it worked for me. Hope yer problem gets fixed,


Peace



Confucius once said: There is always a good side and a bad side to a hill, one side u will love, and the other will piss the shit out of u because its so fucking steep and hard to walk up....

[h20490]

Mdiddy,

Thanks for the post.

I dont drink but I remember back in my high school years when I used to blaze and drink it used to fuck me over quite bad, probably part of the reason I stopped drink and weed at that time.

I do smoke most of the time alone in my room, usually only on a Thursday or Friday I go to my dealer and we just chill with him and another guy (known them since h/s) and its usually chill.

Part of the reason for feeling so sick I think is because I think about it too much now, but I have started another T break will try and give it month and see whats the crack.

Oh and what really sucks is Ive just been to the doctors today and found out I have shingles so Im off work, until it clears up , he said it could be from stress etc.

So now Im off work, have lots of nice weed that i dont really fancy smoking even though I do at the same time.

The search continues.

[carijuana]

have you tried getting your bud from a different person, like buying a different type of weed than you normally do..? idk thats what i would try.

[BillyBreaths]

You should get a stress ball of a punching bag or something to help relieve stress. Use those until you feel more relaxed and then try smoking again. It's worth a try.

[h20490]

I too thought it was this recent pick up of green , still unsure about it, although If I smoke hash I still feel sick kinda not as much but still feel like ive over smoked even if its say a bong hit or half a joint.

Rolled a joint last night of the green smoked half of it tried watching Road trip somthing funny to clear my head but nope wnet on a killer sick feeling and this was at 3am didnt get to bed till 7am felt wrecked no joke.

Pretty annoyed , but yeah just going to leave it now and come back in a month.

also consider that some weeds can have bacteria/fungus on them

[Lakitel]

Personaly I would say its the weed that your getting, chances are that the whole batch was not good or it was infected. Also, keep in mind, in hash especialy, a lot of chemichals are added, and you could be having a reaction to one of those, or maybe you have a high amount of a certain chemichal which causes this upset. This is just speculation, but it might be whats going on, I would suggest you buy from a completely new dealer, you don't have to buy a lot, just try some and make sure its not the weed or hash, that way you can move on to the next step of diagnosis

The only other explaination I can think of is if your sort of ODing your body on hash and weed. You might be taking more then your body can handle right now, since you are dealing with so much stress, your mind and body are trying to use their resources wisely so that you don't become even more stressed, and so by smoking you might actualy be making yourself more stressed then you usualy are (which with the vomiting and sick feeling, it sounds like it). I would suggest you decrees the amount you smoke by maybe half an ounce, if you still feel sick, keep decreasing. If you get to a very low amount, then just lay of the weed for a while until you get your life back on track.

Its a very well known fact that weed can sometimes amplify your feelings, and if you have nervs and are stressed when you get high, then you aren't going to enjoy anything.

[h20490]

Thought I would update this as I havent been on for a few days.

Not toked up in what seems like ages but must be close to a week or so now, feel great as I dont feel sick at night from weed.

However Ive been signed off work as Ive contracted "Shingles" which the doctor said could be down to stress or other contact from someone who has Shingles (dont know anyone that I hang around with that has it) so pretty sure its down to the stress.

im on a course of anti viral tablets which I plan to finish and try and go T total for aslong as possible , downside is its my 21st on Friday which Im bummed about as this year has been the worst year for recent events etc.

Lakitel,

The mouldy weed could be cause for concern but when I bought the Green 1oz it was slightly damp which I let cure in a mason jar which is air tight and doesnt look like its developed mould , also have a little tin of the green which I ground up and left ontop of my pc which dried the stuff out.


Also the OD question does pop up alot in my mind however I try not to mix the hash and green together ie hash with my dealer on a friday night and saterday through bongs and it was 3 joints of green a day one in the monring , lunch and on the way home from work. If I ever felt sick from the weed I would cut a joint out and then always smoke my joint on the way home and feel great.

That is some great advice with regards to the amount Im smoking and the decreasing, As Im on a T break I know I wont be able to handle the amount I have been smoking, and will most likley start off really small, also great advice on the effects on weed and how it can amplify it.

The good news is that being off the weed has made me better online at Gears of war :-P but sometimes wish on days where I could blaze and feel just completely chilled.

I will continue to update this thread as it may be of some use to someone else who might have this problem.

[h20490]

Hey guys,

Holy cow batman thread revival.

Ive been/still on a major T break.

Not toked up once since I started this thread. so thought I would update as I still miss MJ in my life.

Im on Beta Blockers (Propranol (sp) as apparantley I was having adrenaline surges all the time and panic attacks so these are to stop them Ive been on them for roughly 3 months now and they have helped a great deal but somehow feel scared as Betablockers scare the crap out of me but im on a low dosage anyway so thats all good.

I got a new job that pays double my old salary so Im happy with that. I bought a new car Honda CRX Si Vtec Turbo so thats spurring me on and Im continuing my T break might even go a whole year without it. want to come off the beta blockers before I toke up and this time I will not over do it.

Hope everyones chilling!

Hey man!
Your situation... well, it sucks .
I know this, because I am going through something kind of equivalent.
Whenever i burn, I end up feeling sick as all hell, and .. well, just really weird.
I haven't gone to a doctor or anything, and I definitely don't want to take a t-break
So I tried a couple things that seemed to work. (by the way, I am also extremely stressed with family / life right now )
Firstly : Try a different strain of weed! Certain strains effect the body differently, which can fuck you up.. I did this, and it worked to an extent, but not while I was alone.
That brings me to my next point. MAKE SURE you are in a good environment. Personally, when I am alone and I bunn, it just lets me think about all of the shit that stresses me out, and i REALLY focus on it. Shit, that's the worst. "getting lost inside your own head" Next time you smoke, make sure you are with people who you KNOW you will have a good time with! It's pretty important.
Btw! You might be getting sick just because you are used to it! I mean, I'm not shutting down anything else, mold, stress, all of that stuff are great causes to make you sick.. I'm just making my own suggestion. I don;t know about you.. but when i'm high , I think about times in the past when I was high, and kind of relate them sometimes? So if I have a "bad trip" so to speak, I keep on having it over and over just because I start thinking about it and get worried about it. If you have a really good time with friends / etc. it might help out a lot!
try a combination of new weed (new strain) AND good times with friends! see what it does for you! haha, it worked for me One last thing : If none of that works/.... Try out a vaporizer. Maybe it has something to do with the smoke? Good ones are pretty pricey.. so you can maybe go to a smoking cafe and try one out. (we have the Hotbox Cafe here in toronto)
- On a side note! Good luck man! I'm sure you'll get better. The herb can't get you down forever, it's just against the rules!
Let me know the outcome!

Quit using marijuana as a crutch. You'll be fine.
