First awful experience with marijuana (bad trip?) Help ?

[easy slug]

Yeah you had a panic attack. Sorry, they are the worst feeling in the world. My advice, you may need to steer clear of weed. My best friend/smoking mate of 2 years had to quit soely on the fact that he was having the hollow chest/cold hot flashes and tingling all over. He was all giddy and happy with it then all of a sudden boom, all goes downhill. Just take it slow and take realy small tokes and try to get it to where youre comfortable.

I was with my friends at a really cool hippie park. everything was chill and we had a load of weed. white widow and a load of some other stuff we picked up a day back. so we start off a joint each for my 2 friends and me with a bowl on a pipe. we get up to this little castle thing at the park. barely any people around so we go on to smoke a few more bowls. then I pull out a bong I made. it was perfect for some full hits. so we go for it in total I'd say I did 1 bowl on my own about 5 shared on the pipe. about 3 on the bong and another shared bowl. we were fucken good. but a while later suddenly I say. "oh shit I think it's a bad trip" and bam I start feeling lost loose and disconnected. I kept saying "it feels like this isn't real, and then I kept seeing myself doing things my friends were trying to help me telling me to chill out to let myself relax but I was gone. I felt every movement my body felt reaction to the cold. I felt like I was dreaming and couldn't tell if it was real. I walked back into the castle thing (we were on top) and my friend called me I'm like OH MAN. I answer and tell him I am way too high to do anything. I was blabbering. I kept forgetting I was actually on the phone. my sight was ok I could see but everything was tracing. my thoughts were confusing and I couldn't really tell what I was doing. It was awful. so we walked back to my friends house. walking it out helped a lot. after a while everything was still lost and weird but I kept reminding myself I was real. I couldn't really see like I normally do either. from research I would say that derealization and depersonalization well describes what I was going through. I think it was a bad and good experience. I got a new understanding and interesting new perspective on things. of course later my high cleared up a lot more and I rolled up 3 joints and me and my friends went to finish up the day. haha. I don't think I will be smoking for a few weeks. but It has not scared me away. I actually plan to take back control over it be able to keep calm and good.

well to start with, i first experienced weed 3 years ago. At the begining everything was fine i was smoking morning before school, while eating my lunch at my friends house then the evening after school. But one night everything changed, we were smoking some blast with knives siting around the oven. After my 12th blast, I sited back in a rocking chair, then i felt exaclty like you said the numbness and the echo sensation wich freaked me too death!! But its not finish my eyes started to trick me too, the upper part of my vision was constaltly *zooming* and the lower part was remaining the same. The freakest in this was me touching my friend at a normal distance but seeing it like if my arm was 5 feet long. What i decided to do is try to sleep because i couldnt live this, this was hell for me, so i slept. the next morning i only smoked a puff from a joint and it restarted but the effect didnt last long.

The only solution i found to continue smoke weed time to time is to drink at least 3 beer before smoking, i dont know why but when you drank a bit of alcool the badtrip effect are less intense and you feel them funny either that paranoing about them

I'm happy im not the only guy to live such effect cause i thaugt before all of this was in my head and that it was me who was crazy

Marijuana can effect the body and heart. Sometimes marijuana has the ability to increase the rate of blood flow through the heart as well as lower blood pressure, because blood to rushing faster than normal, the heart is unable to keep up this causes vertigo, dizzyness, blurred vision and feeling like you are going to vomit.

MJ lowers your blood sugar level so enough can turn you pale and make you pass out or throw up. Not eating could be that factor. Everything else you mentioned doesnt seem to add up so i dont think it could have affected you but it is possible.

I've had some shit that has made me trip. Doesn't happen with no-name stuff but it can happen

Here is the scenario me and a few friends in my friends basement smoked some bud in my newly bought bubbler. I finally invested in one. I took a few hits by the 3rd I knew I took like way too much smoke in and nearly cough a lung out. Then my friend packed another bowl he has been smoking longer than me and I smoked before but i was like meh I haven't ever seen how much is the limit for pot to be smoked. I wonder the more you smoke the higher you get? I had heard things like you will go into a bad trip or anxiety if u smoke past the amount you can handle but I thought they were rumors. Not only was this potent but I smoked more than I usually do like a moderate amount more. And then the experience started.

Experience:
At first it was fine I was feeling it under and around my face relieving pressure like always starting to feel good. Then all of the sudden it jumped at me I was no longer feeling good. The time it took I can't even recall all I remember is good then bad. This feeling was weird my whole body was numb not good numb but uncomfortable numb to the point where it felt painful or seemed painful or scary. I had no hallucinations things were a bit blurry and my vision was fine but my perception was so fucked up. I touched my face and it giggled that emtpy numb feeling like when u are at the dentist with a cavity but it was my whole body and much worse. I would touch a part of me and the skin had vibrato effect. It strectched and jiggled numb sensation I smacked my face I kinda felt a relative feeling I was use to feel for a sec but not without this echoing jabbering numbness richocheting in after it, it was so terrible. I was scared out of my mind too was the weed laced, no my friends are fine, maybe it was too much, is this going to go away, omg this is awful.

I woke up the next day feeling wow that was dreadful and looked over and my friends were lighting up a joint. I thought well I had a bad trip last night, time to see if smoking in the morning will bring it back or I will feel the normal high (I was curious). I only took 2 hits and it was starting to come back but it just kinda mellowed between feeling good and getting to the bad experience but It was manageable. I have felt semi-stoned all day now and that is my experience sitting here typing this still feeling disoriented but recovering.

Every Possible Reason I can think up:
-Smoked too much bud
-Hadn't eaten in like 6 hours
-New bubbler not broken in sitting in a shop with incense and who knows what else all over the store and new glass idk
-Used these weird lighters that in my opinion shot more gas that flame
-Did it at 3 am so was tired
-In back of mind scared of his mom coming downstairs this was a new place for me
-Have been smoking a lot more recently so THC may have gathered up or body isn't use to my more newly smoking more routine and this night i took too much
- I think that is all I can think of

Conclusion:

I want your guys opinion and help and if you have or have heard of anything like this happening to anyone. The thing that frightnened me was I was scared and paranoid and everything like I had heard but this awful numbness that was like distorted that I could feel was painful and weird and I do not want to experience this again it was bad why did this happen. I am worried if i will ever be able to get a good high again i am still so paranoid. Any questions, comments, help or concern would be appreciated. Sorry I Know that was long thanks for reading and please leave me something thanks

It sounds like i have had a very similar experience. I'm sorry to hear that you had such a bad experince with it but I'm also excited to hear of it, I've told my friends about it and nobody knows what I'm talking about. I agree that it's not a "trip", I've taken boomers and this feeling is not that of a psychodelic trip like the mush, it's just a feeling, an experience. I've actually had the feeling a few times but I never get paranoid I just try to chill out and enjoy it. I agree that it seems to be a tollerance thing, but i also get low blood sugar and theres a good chance that I didn't have enough to eat. There's nothing really to worry about, I just always feel really slow and clumsy the next day. I also am no "newbie", I've never been too high, I just see things as a more intense high. I haven't gotten paranoid in years.

I've had a few of these experiences but I'll share the two "worst" ones, or best one depending on how you take it. The first time I got this real bad I was at my friends bon fire. I was baked when i got there and then we all smoked I don't even know how many bowls from this bong, but we smoked bowls of Hydro, Chronic, White Rhino, Trainwreck, and NY Diesel. It was a big sesh, anyways, after we had all these bowls I lay down in the grass and looked at the stars and got the spins and my vision was off, i couldn't focus on things. Then my hearing was kinda weird like everything anyone ever said to me would just sit in my head like an echo, it was strange but it would take me a while to comprehend things. Then my sense of touch started doing that echo thing, it's like a jumping experience it's messed up. I would put my hand in my pocket to take out my phone and my sense of touch was jumping around too much for me to find it so it would take forever. It's scary at first but as long as you don't have to drive or anything, as long as you can just sit and chill out it doesn't have to be a bad thing. You can't OD on weed so you really don't have to worry.

The other experience I had I would say was the highest I've ever been from weed. Again I had been smoking all day and we had made brownies the night before, each piece had about a quad in it. We smoked a few good bong bowls and I was baked. So we went inside and ate brownies, none of my friends ate the whole thing cuz they didn't want to be too high, but i was like fuck it theres no such thing. so i ate the whole thing. All the "echoes" and "jumps" came back, and stronger than I've ever had it . Everything was funny, I could barely say anything cuz everytime I tried I would just laughed. After a while I got all tingley too, it felt kinda like little static electric shocks shocking be all over my body, I thought it felt pretty cool and it made me giggle. My motor skills were terrible, I was dropping everything. I don't really remember much of the night after a point, I just remember i was super high and it was great.

I hope this helps you out in some way. I guess all I would say is just chill out and let it happen, don't fight it, it'll go away eventually. And eating some food always helps.

i know what you are talking about when you say "the bad kind of numb"
