Anyone ever get the spins from dabs?

    Yesterday was more or less an all-day sesh mixing dabs and j's. Right before bed I was like I should end this awesome day of tokin' with an Indica dab and sort of grabbed more than I wanted but said fuck it and smack, that's the closest being high has ever felt to being drunk.

    I had the spins, felt like I was shaking and just tried not to puke for like an hour before I finally just passed out.

    bumpity bump

    I'm still wiggin' out from this experience GC. I did do 1 Sativa dab today and smoked 1/2 a j but I'm afraid to get too comfortable because I don't want this happening again.

    Anyone?

    Not sure if its any related, one time I had the worst panic attack ever from weed. I decided instead to smoke the .6 g i had left all in one bong hit instead of a joint, and i coughed like a fucker. This was the amount i was smoking as my usual session at the time, but for some reason i felt extra high on this night. I started thinking about my teeth and for some reason I started getting scared like i thought a tooth was about to fall out and I started shaking. After a few minutes my entire body was just shaking like crazy uncontrollable, my legs especially were going nuts. It encompassed every thought and i just had a horrible panic attack. It went on for like 30 minutes and i felt like I was dying. I got my senses back a little bit, my legs still shaking but everything else stopped. I drank some water with electrolytes in it and calmed down for a few minutes before my legs started shaking harder than before and i started flipping out about whatever it was i was imagining (i was thinking about what was gonna happen after death or something) after this i managed to get out of it (I assume its because the high ended?) It took like an hour for it to stop but after it was over i just went right to bed and slept like a baby. Never had another incedent in my entire 3 years of smoking weed.

    I'd say you were probably tried from the day and you were just really high and fatigued at the same time.

    Well the funny thing is that I've had a panic attack sober and it did not feel like that. Ironically, I did feel that same shaking you described. Sorry for the TMI but I was trying to drop a deuce and I remember feeling my legs just shaking while on the can.

    I just kept telling myself over and over it can't kill you, it can't kill you.

    Answer seems obvious because this was like the largest dab I've ever done but usually my tolerance goes up the more I smoke. Like the most high you get is the first toke of the day kind of thing..

    At that time I was like dabbing twice a day. I'm sort of staying away from dabs until we know more about harmful and beneficial effects.

    I put the oil rig completely away. I have concerns with titanium oxide and butane ingestion. I think we need a couple more years and research to figure out what exactly is being ingested and how safe it is.

    The plus side to only smoking flower is you know it's completely safe! :smoke:

    PS

    I'm also wondering about the actual vapor being inhaled because my rig, like all rigs, gets very sticky and one dab packs a coughing punch. I'm not a scientist so this might sound dumb but maybe our lungs are getting all sticky like the rig???

    This happened to me to!! I can usually take 2-3 g blunts to the face and still be able to do difficult or tedious tasks. I can handle my shit alright, but one night I took a single huge rip from my friends steamroller and my knees were shaking I felt light headed my heart was pounding I felt like my heart was beating out of my chest and it was an aweful experience. I guess this can just happen to people randomly??

    This happened to me the other night, it was my first time trying BHO and smoked a few dabs out of my MFLB throughout the course of the night along with a few joints and bong rips (and some drinks on the side, which I'm sure effected it). I remember sitting on my friends couch, very baked, and closing my eyes for a few seconds and starting to feel sick to my stomach. After that, I don't remember the night clearly but I had to go back to my room due to feeling incredibly sick and had the spins so badly that I couldn't even walk without hugging the wall. I proceeded to puke my brains out while lying miserably on the floor. It was definitely one of the sickest moments I've ever felt in my life and definitely the drunkest I've felt from mainly smoking. 
     
    I disagree that this was a panic attack and can almost positively say that this was a physiological effect from the ganja. I am a bit reluctant to try the BHO again because of this, but I think that it was the simply the effect from ingesting large amounts of THC. I would suggest that anyone else having this problem should simply reduce the amount of weed you smoke in a sitting, being especially careful with concentrates. Drinking when you're smoking can only exasperate the problem.
