I started off smoking this year and it was great my first couple of times. Always smoked with my friends, etc. A couple of weeks ago we bought this huge new bong (we usually smoke out of a shitty bowl) that was really nice. I always had a good time smoking until I used this bong--I had taken a huge amount of hits out of it, way more then I probably should have. After that, it felt like I couldn't control myself, and someone else was. And after I stopped tripping that, I had basically a panic attack where it felt like my throat was being crushed and closing. I basically forced myself to go to sleep but I was convinced while I was high that I was in the most pain I've ever been in my whole life. My throat kept hurting for a couple of days and it kept feeling like that whenever I thought about it. When I was with friends, I wouldn't notice it. But if I was alone or something reminded me of that pain (or throat pain) I began to feel it again. Then, last weekend, I drank and smoke and felt completely fine that night. But the pains started coming back this week and I feel like I've become depressed and having bad thoughts ever since I started looking in to the pains. It gets worse at night also. It's like an anxiety and makes me feel horrible. Anybody have any tips for forgetting or moving past it, or can relate? Thanks.
Nothing like that has really happened me , but weed effects people differently you just need to know your limits if you don't like going to that level.
Sounds like you have a few things going on OP. 1. You smoked too much weed and didn't like it. Stop that. 2. You have personal issues that the weed showed you. Work those out. 3. Maybe you need to stop smoking entirely. Do that.
Smoke is maybe irritating your throat? My guess, go to the doctor get checked out before you smoke again.
From his post it's very clear that it was his first time smoking like that, he couldn't know until he tried, which he did and is now seeking advice. Don't be a dick for no reason man. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Foruml
you need to stop smoking weed. the end jokes aside, it feels to me that you had to much. it happens. just go easy. your tolerance will catch up at some point. i was a light weight when i did it recreationaly. now that i do it purely on a medical basis {yeah, fucking right lol!!!} my tolerance has gone up significantly. i too can smoke too much still and i feel weird and shit, just doesn't happen much any more.
I'd smoke more, not stop. The weed isn't making you depressed, something in your life is. Maybe take a break until you figure it out. Our keep smoking whilst figuring it out. The choice and the world is yours. Carpe diem, sir.
Yeah take it easy on bongs, man. It's kinda like the equivalent of shots if smoking joints were like beers. Even with a slight tolerance, it only takes me 2 rips to get stoned.
Yes. I can, without doubt, say that I can state that I have lost time, or forgot things that happened a day earlier. I have suffered from depression for years, decades actually. I found that the depression played havoc with my memory and my ability to keep things straight in my head. I'd find myself darting from one activity to another, worried that it's not done, and feeling like I had to do it all at once! It was and is extremely overwhelming and seemingly was amplified if I smoked Cannabis that was harvested early or was very high in THC only, with little or no CBD or CBN. In short, It was making the very symptoms I was aiming to treat, much, much worse. That said, I think that like with all things, some people are much less affected than others, or at least appear that way. . I found that it wasn't only the cannabis itself, but the chemicals contained in the cannabis, left behind by the use of petroleum based, chemical fertilizers full of heavy metals that played a large role in the cumulative effects. effects that happen without the consumption of cannabis. Thse, for me, included insomnia, lethargy, loss of appetite, a general feeling I can only describe as icky. Also, After weeks of smoking homegrown, 100% chemical free cannabis, I can smoke as much as I want without my throat hurting at all. Just yesterday I smoked with a buddy for 30 minutes or so straight. He couldn't believe how smooth, and not-cumulative in terms of throat irritation. So, for me, It's homegrown, or fully organic cannabis for me. Good Luck. PlaidBee
9 times out of 10 the throat pain is from taking hits that are too big on the bong. Usually its from having too much smoke and coughing.
I can totally relate to you OP. I started smoking a year ago and use to do it weekends only. Now I do it every night and the occasional wake and bake. I smoke out of a bong(eyebrow burner size). And my throat will KILL me if I hit too hard. And it feels like it's closing and burning. But all I do is DRINK LIQUIDS. Best thing ever for toke throat. Anyways I've become depressed lately and I don't really blame it on the weed but more so my lifestyle. I do nothing but work, sleep,smoke, play guitar and play Xbox. Total stoner life haha but what has helped me a lot is positive vibes man. Any time I'm super high and alone I get very depressed but as long as I keep myself happy and keep my mind busy I don't deal with depression anymore.
It's normal it happened to me when I first started using a bong. Just go at an easy pace and eventually it will get better.
