    So I was visiting my girlfriend at university for the weekend, and we decided we would go and pick up a bong to get high, instead of using the pipe I had originally bought. We went and bought and immediately started using it once we got home. We sat outside, we didn't really have anything to worry about so we were both in a good mood. I've always been the sort of anxious type, but I figured that wouldn't be an issue. 
     
    Also, the first three times using a pipe, I didn't really feel anything apart from feeling slightly more relaxed for a little while. I was told that it was really weak pot, and I wouldn't necessarily feel much the first couple times. Before buying the bong, I bought more weed, and I could tell it was much stronger. The smell was really pungent, nothing like the weed I had previously.
     
    Anyway, I filled the bong up with water until it just passed the tube that holds the bowl (I don't know what it's called), and it took a little bit of messing around but we finally got the result we expected. From there I took about 4-6 hits (I can't remember exactly), inhaling almost all the way, holding for a few seconds and that's it. I started to feel light headed, and relaxed, but I wasn't getting the high I was expecting based off of everyone else's experience. My girlfriend got a similar high but obviously more intense than mine. She was laughing a lot about stuff I didn't find funny. We sat there for about 10 minutes before getting up to go inside. This is where it got bad...
     
    I don't know why or how (I'm hoping someone can tell me about this), but I got this sudden rush for about 3 seconds, this horrible feeling where I felt like I couldn't control myself, couldn't think, nothing was happening, and I just wasn't in my body. During that time, my stomach felt like I was free falling. I recovered from it, and within 10 seconds, it happened again. I felt like I needed to lie down. I went to her room and lay there in bed from then on. It kept happening over and over again, this horrible feeling. Words were going through my head like crazy, all of which I wanted to say, but I couldn't. I didn't want to move at all, almost like I couldn't, so I sat there and closed my eyes. These vivid pictures went through my head of impossible scenarios, shapes, geometry, all this really fucked up stuff. One thing stayed in my head for a maximum of 5 seconds, before switching to another thing. The worst thing was, the feeling intensified whenever my girlfriend went near me. I couldn't tolerate it, and I couldn't control myself. She went near me and I said "No, stop it, just please stay away from!", without even thinking about it, and I pushed her away really hard. I didn't even mean to, it's like it was a reflex and it all happened so quickly. I just lay there and tried to sleep to get rid of the feeling, and I just wanted it to go away. I don't understand what happened.
     
    Later that day, after I woke up, I felt a feeling I haven't experienced since I was little, and that was homesick. Almost like I wanted to see my parents and hug them, which is strange because that's the last thing I'd want to do. I felt anxious and uncomfortable. My stomach was upset, and my girlfriend didn't feel well either. I no longer had the weird feeling every few seconds, but I still wasn't better. We both felt really, really depressed, like there was no reason to live. We both just wanted to cry, and I never cry.
     
    Everything was finally better a few hours later, but it was a horrible experience. I'm writing this the next day, and I still don't feel well. I feel upset, and my stomach has been bothering me.
     
    I'm hoping an experienced user can explain to me what happened, what I did wrong, or anything like that. I drink a lot, and I know it's bad and was hoping to replace drinking with smoking pot, but I'm not going to if it's like that every time. Did I smoke too much too quickly? Was it laced with something awful? 
     
    Thank you so much to whoever can help me out.

    ill just go ahead and put this out here. you took 4-6 hits from a bong being a newbie smoker, bad idea. basically, you just got too high. now youre burned out from smoking which, in some people, makes you feel like shit. next time, just take it slow. take 1 nice rip and wait like 15 mins and see if youre good. if you want to be more high, take another, wait 15 minutes.

    1 rip off a bong is alot for a beginner smoker, should only use a bong if you want to get blitzed. Should stick to a pipe. If you can taste smoke, then inhale it just don't hold it in too long and wait to see how it affects you. Test the waters.

    I would use the pipe more but I find it really uncomfortable. I'll take a full inhale, and just start hacking up everything almost to the point where I'm going to throw up.
     
    I read that people actually like getting "too high" like I did. How can people possibly like that feeling? It's terrifying.

    Cause people usually never get that high. You'd be surprised how much more weed you can handle with a little tolerance. It also depends on the person. My cousin took one rip off a bong with no tolerance and was so high he couldn't walk and felt like shit. Next time just put a little weed in the bowl and take a smallish hit off the bong, and if you don't feel it after 5-10 minutes take a little more and rinse and repeat till you get to a happy point.

    Also as a side note, weed just isn't for some people, but I doubt this is it and its pretty rare for someone not to like weed haha

    You're a beginner smoker. You can't smoke so much. If you're smoking a pipe, fill it half way if you're smoking alone. Or all the way if you're with another person. And when you take a hit, try letting more oxygen in by playing with the carb as you inhale (tapping repeatedly on the carb in order to make the smoke less intense). If you're smoking a bong. Especially with your lack of experience, only take 1-2 hits. You smoked wayy to much for your first time dude. Hope this shitty experience doesn't make you not want to use bong anymore!!

    Thanks for the information and support. I'll definitely give it another go, starting with just one decent hit. I went around the forum and found a few cases where people with no tolerance or those who smoked a lot, stopped and then started again had a similar experience to me.
     
    To add to the description (I've been thinking about the experience a lot today), I would say it was like nothing was real, or if I didn't exist, like literally for a few seconds, I just wasn't living.

    you should learn to roll joints.. toke a few hits.. put it out and save it for later.

    Is there an advantage to smoking joints, other than being able to put it out and save it for later?

    Same can be applied to a bowl/bong
     
    This experience is similar to ones I have had when I smoked too much, and the main culprits are:
     
    1) Having a low tolerance
    2) Not eating enough that day
    3) Smoking cigarettes too fast (when your high you don't realize how fast or slow you do things sometimes)
     
    Back when I had a low tolerance if I got too high then it would feel like when I moved let's say my arm, my arm would move but I wouldn't feel it move for what felt like 3-4 seconds. When I closed my eyes I had closed eyes visuals (almost inserted intense but I have never tried unmentionable psychedelics so I can't really gauge how intense it is compared to them). And the worst was is the feeling you get where you HAVE to sit down or else you will just collapse, this happened to me the other day. I was walking to my room from outside because I could feel it coming, feel down got back up and ate something and felt better.
     
     
    I would advise having munchies and water nearby and taking less hits. 4-6 hits from a bong of what sounds like good quality weed (if the smell was pungent) is enough to put any nooby on their ass

    Sounds like you took a bunch of hits without letting the high settle in. You took a bunch at one time, and then it hit you like a runaway train.
    As users above me have stated, you should take a hit or two, wait 10 minutes. If you're not at an acceptable high, take another and repeat the process. Weed isn't like alcohol where you need to drink it really fast. You're supposed to relax and enjoy the experience


    Happy toking!

    Do NOT smoke a cigar the. Hit the bong. I was paraliZed falling over in my chair. My girl had to help me inside (I'm 6'4" 250 lbs). Laid down in bathroom and hugged the toilet, cool tile felt good. After about 15-30 minutes she helped me to bed. King size bed with me in the middle holding in to both sides for dear life. My girl asked why I was holding the bed "so I don't fall off!" It felt like the bed was about to flip over. Luckily I was in a good mood and new it would pass soon so I was able to laugh at my stupid ass.

    the bong is the best way to smoke tree.
     
    if you are smoking solid bud just take a nice hit wait for it to get milky and then rip it..one hit will be perfect for you if you hit the bong correctly!
     
    smoke on tho!
