Pot Paranoia

[Shiva Sativa]

What are some of the worst freak-out's you've had smoking the herb? I'll start off:

I had just "re-met" a childhood friend at a party a couple of months ago. I'll call him Jake. Jake smoked a lot of green, as do I, so we figured we should smoke together sometime. He invited me to come smoke with him at a local tattoo shop after hours one night, and I decided that sounded fun as shit.

So I get to the tat parlor and of course all the artists are there smoking some dank ass green. This one guy, he's like a pot guru; I'll call him Josh. Josh offered me some of the KB they were smoking, said it was called green cocaine or something like that. I took a few hits off a blunt, and before you knew it I was high as fuck... Too high. All of a sudden I started freaking out, cause it felt like I was about to pass out. And I was there with all of these guys that I really didn't know all that well. So a few minutes later, I'm just clingin to the bottom of my seat, trying to stay awake, and they say they're going to a bar. I told them I really didn't wanna go out that night but I couldn't drive either (one of the few times I've been too high to drive). They said ok, you can chill in your truck but we gotta lock up the shop.

So I'm chillin in my ford, and it's cold out so the exhaust is making big billows of steam. I started to think about what it would look like to a cop, a chick just sittin outside a tat shop in the middle of the goddamn night with her truck running. They would know for sure I was high!!! I started to panic. I knew I couldn't drive, but I didn't wanna get caught being high! (even though I had nothing on me). And then terror strikes. In my side-view mirror I see a tall man in uniform appraoch my vehicle. I jumped out of my seat, turned around looked out the window and... nothing. I was just seeing shapes made by the clouds of exhuast.

I kept hearing music too. It was wierd.

[borked]

It was my one of my first few times smoking MJ so I was quite the paranoid freak if I got too high. We went to my house(my parents where I had my own room) and we had an oz of chronic from a deal we had scored. We were going to try and flip it, not for profit but just for free smoke. So we celebrate on our deal and roll a very fat blunt. We leave my house and blaze it, him me and my g/f We go across the street and are smoking it. I am extremely high, and pow I see 5 PD cop cars go screaming down my neighborhood across the street toward my house(where the rest of th oz and scale etc.. were) so I shit bricks, my g/f and friend are trying to calm me but i'm seriously fucking losing it. My life is over...ill just hit the streets and run, a bunch of seriously dramatic bullshit. I thought my life was over, so we finish our blunt and walk casually back towards my house with me paranoid and 20feet behind them, trying not to lose my mind. We round the corner and find 5 PD cop cars out with their guns at my neighbors house(2houses away) for some type of home invasion scare.

Man I lost my shit that night, I still get made fun of till this day.

Ive only had one from my experience and it was pretty freaky, i couldnt tell if i was breathing or not. It was pretty freaky and i almost woke up my parents to tell them to take me to the hospital hahaha

[ETsmokeweed]

okay, so one night my grandma took me out to dinner at this italian resturant, and i ate soo much. after dinner, she dropped me off at my friends house, where me and all my friends smoke. anyways i had just bought a half e i think and it was super dank. anyways, we got on the bong and just smoked. for hours we just smoked and talked, so it seemed. anyways it was only three of us and we all took turns packing the bowl, until my half e was almost gone. at this point, i was soooo high. i mean i was at the high where not a lot of people like, ya know? and then i started to feel sick, like i felt like i was about to throw up. so i think im gagging, and i walk to the bathroom. and basically i sit there for like 45 minutes thinking i was going to die cuz i was throwing up everything in my stomach. but the weird thing was that im not sure if i was gagging, or swalloing my spit... it was horrible cuz i had no clue.

sorry that was long!

Hahahahahahahahahahaha. I love how despite the fact that you think you're life is over and you're going to jail... u still just chill and smoke the blunt.

[foxmeister]

Once I was walking around me neighborhood, and decided to smoke some bud. I walked into a heavily wooded area and ended up extremely blazed, and a squirrel started to bark at me. I thought the squirrel was in on it with the cops. Not even kidding.

[AbluntAday]

lol you really need to just relax and enjoy yourself when smoking, and who the fuck cares if the cop thinks you're high? theres not shit he can do if you don't have nothing so why does it matter?

you pretty much just ruined the whole high by freaking out when you didn't have to..

[YobSmoke]

1st time I ever smoked hydro i snuck out of my house at about 1 in the morning & went round to this guys house where a couple of my mates were, anyway they all had what they now call the best MDMA they ever had so they were pretty fucked up & they were smoking so I sat down & smoked a cone pretty soon my head started spinning & i couldn't stand up, my memory is blank of what was going through my mind & what i was thinking & all I can remember is standing up & saying I have to leave, running out of the room & instead of going out the back door i ended up in the bathroom/laundry, i left there & stepped in my mates cat bowl then once i was outside it was pitch black [or maybe I had my eyes closed] and i was running out his backyard through to the side gate & i tripped on a guinea pig cage & broke it & i ran the whole way home, non stop. I don't know how the fuck i managed to sneak back into the house but luckily i did it without getting caught.

My first time and that's it. I'm the voice of reason on weed.

I dont know if I would smoke If I had paranoia the first time I was high, was it hard to do again? I mean yeah, I get paranoia and sometimes really bad too, but by the time I had my first bad high, I had been high enough times (not like alot but maybe 10 or so but still enough to know what it is like) to know that even though I was having a bad high, weed can be alot of fun. Even then though, it was kinda hard to do again.

[blazn_up]

probably not the worst freak out by far but its one.
i went to my mates house and noticed what looked like a undercover cop car parked down the drive at the house at the end. my mate just has his weed and bongs and everything else just lying round as wel as a plant sumwea depending on whea he puts it. well when i turned up this dog was sitting at the end of the driveway by the "cop car". i love dogs so i bent down and called it over and it hesitated then came running. it was really friendly and folowed me into the house and went madly sniffing around at everything and then ran out. my mates loved it but i was freaking out that the cops had a plan to bust us with a secret drug dog and go back and report to the cops that it had smelt weed.
well it turns out it was just the neighbors dog from down the drive and he had escaped thru a gate left open. shit freaked me out tho!

A few weeks ago....

It was 11 PM. Just me and two of my friends inside our car, my friend driving, me in shotgun. We had nothing to do and nowhere to go. Bored out of our freakin' minds. But we didn't just want to call it a night...it was Friday! We had a full tank of gas and over $100, so of course...we decide to take a road trip!

We live in central Iowa, and decided to drive all the way down to Kansas City, Missouri. Not *too* far, but far enough that we wouldn't return until mid morning perhaps.

We have a dime, a pipe, and a few other small tools on us...in the car, while driving. Now...my friend is a pretty good driver, he obeyed all the traffic laws and what not. It's about 2AM now and we had been smoking in the car the whole way and we're probably just a few miles into Missouri now (can't remember exactly where) when we come to an odd intersection. We're young and unexperienced...and stoned =\ So, my friend starts to turn into the wrong lane, but catches himself and makes a moderate sized swerve into the correct lane. Alas, a cop had been sitting in an alleyway about 1/2 a block down and saw us.

The lights flash and our hearts STOP. You see, it wouldn't be such a big deal if we weren't red eyed, pot smelling, teenagers. And I of course had the brilliant idea of just wearing my bathrobe (because it's warmer and we could keep the heater off to save gas). So naturally...I looked...well, stoned lol. The cop comes up to my friend's window and asks him for his license and registration. My friend gives it to him and no problems yet. Until asked:

"So what are you boys doing at an hour like this?"

We had no story thought up in case we got caught...so he said something sorta like:

"Well you know officer, we just have a few friends down here and they said they wanted us to come visit them. So we figured we would surprise them and see them this morning"

Terrible excuse >.<

"Really? Alright, where you guys from?"
"We're up from central Iowa, sir"
"Hm, alright. Could you step out of the car please?"

And then my friend leaves the vehicle. Me and my other friend both just look at each other. I whisper to him:

"Dude...holy shit...holy fucking shit oh my fucking god"
"Shut the fuck up dude, just shut up"

Lol, or something like that. At this point I have my hands in my pocket and realize that my grinder, and our stash is in there. Oops O_O

I look in the side mirror and notice that another police vehicle had pulled up behind the one that caught us. I also see a man wearing a police uniform walking up towards the vehicle. My adrenaline goes into hyperdrive and out of nowhere I get the idea to just stuff everything under the seat. So I do just that, as quietly and quickly without making too much movement as possible.

The cop walks up to my window and asks for my name and some ID. I present that to him and he asks me to step out of the vehicle.

"So what's with the bathrobe son?"
"Hah, well...it's just so warm I figured I would wear it down here since it's probably colder"

Yeah...probably not the smartest thing I've ever said >.< Iowa is north of Missouri, but I had realized that too late. I think he noticed too, since he said:

"You boys been smoking any marijuana tonight?"
"No sir"

I'm freezing my ass off at this point and shivering wildly. Of course the cop thinks I'm just nervous as hell and says:

"Alright then. Well, I'm sure you boys will be on your way soon then. You look pretty cold, you ok?"
"Yes sir, just cold as hell in this thing" I laugh.
"Well, let's go warm up in this car over here, should only take a minute"

Now I know I'm fucked. He escorts me over to his police vehicle and allows me to sit shotgun (it was a weird car for cop to be driving, it didn't have the bars/gate between the back and front seats). He cranks the heat as I sit down and shut the door.

"So how old are you again?"
"Sixteen, sir. Gonna be 17 in a week"
"Wow, alright. So do your parents know your down here?"
"Yes sir, my mother said it was ok as long as I call her at 8 AM letting her know I'm ok"
"Ok"

My mother hadn't a clue >.< Oh wait! It gets worse...at this point I notice my friend being escorted the back seat of the car I was in....in handcuffs. He was the only one that was 18, so I guess they had to. I'm still shaking violently from the cold. For some reason, if it's cold I don't shiver...I shake, uncontrollably even when sober lol.

"You ok? You look quite nervous. I know you're still not cold, because I turned up the heat"
"Takes me a while to get warm sir"

Which was the truth. I don't shake when I'm nervous, only when I'm cold. I was still cold honestly. A few minutes goes by...

"So, if we search your friend's car we're not going to find anything illegal are we?"
"Well, my friend doesn't have to LET you search his car, sir"
"Oh? Really? Ok, thanks...that basically says there is something in the car now"

Now I start worrying =\ Cuz he had a point. I watch as my friend steps out of the police vehicle in front of me and the cop escorts him towards his vehicle. My friend opens both doors and the cop just looks from the outside but never puts a body part inside the vehicle. I knew my friend wouldn't give consent, he's pretty smart. I watch as they inspect every little detail they're allowed to. And then I gawk as my friend pulls a street sign out of the back seat. I KNOW that's illegal. But he puts it back in and the cop walks toward the vehicle I'm in (turns out that the sign was actually bought online and there were no holes for screws in it proving it wasn't from the street). The two talk for a moment.

The cop that is sitting next to me looks over and says:

"Alright, looks like you're free to go, have a nice night"

We all get out of the cops vehicles and walk briskly over to our respective car. We get in silently and look at each other. Silently. We wait a moment and then drive off. After a few moments we all let out:

"Holy fucking shit dude"

Or something of that nature. Somehow..some way we didn't get caught that night. It basically boiled down to we used our rights and they used theirs. And we won.

Oh yes, and we continued our trip to Kansas City and made it there just fine. Then drove back...toking the whole way lol.

To this day I never get in a car wearing a bathrobe =)

So the moral of your story is you nearly got a arrested for toking in the car because you were too stoned to understand an intersection correctly leading you to get stopped and almost arrested, so you do the same on the way back?

This is why we have a reputation for being stupid. Stoners do stupid things thinking they wont ever get caught.

Oh yeah, I just noticed that you also just mentioned that you are 17 and dont turn 18 till Feb 2010. Kinda makes me glad I only smoked occasionally while I was in high school. High Schoolers are stupid.

[Kush Lord]

maybe that "green cocaine" you smoked was actually laced with cocaine

No, what would have been stupid is taking the same route on the way back.

Needless to say, cops at 2 AM (time we passed through) =/= cops at 11 AM (time we got home).
