weed makes me sick

    I've been smoking for a few years now but not heavily. my boyfriend and I like to go out to eat and get high before that but lately the weed is having negative effects on me. I get the giggles and usual symptoms but I also get incredibly hot, even my eyes feel like they're burning. I also tend to faint more often, I blackout and need 10 minutes to recover. I I get paranoid but that's pretty common, my head spins and I get way too tired to enjoy the high, and I can't keep my eyes open. like I said I'm not a heavy smoker but anybody have some suggestions on helping with this.... weed really does make food so much better.

    Maybe its just what you're smoking? Or perhaps you just need a little break from weed?

    Could just be a strain that is too powerful for you, and you might be smoking too much of it.

    Like most things in life, too much of a good thing can become a bad thing. Smoking too much dank can bring on symptoms like dizzyness, cottonmouth, blurry vision, sick stomach sometimes, groggy when you wake up, etc.

    Now if you know your tolerance, and have an idea of how potent the strains you smoke are and you get a strain name look it up, theres info all over the web, this can help determine how much you should smoke to feel good and never cross over too the "too high" realm, because it happens to all of us :bongin:

    sounds like dehydration... is light headed something you deal with even when not high?
    If so make sure your drinking lots of water, if that dont help get a blood test, .

    A simple blood pressure check would suffice. If you get light headed upon standing up/standing up too quickly, you most likely have a low blood pressure or are orthostatic and/or tachycardic. But this only applies if you become light headed upon standing or standing up too quickly. A blood test wouldn't show this, a blood pressure check of sitting and standing will let you know if this is the case.

    Orthostatic Hypotension;

    Tachycardic;

    If this is the case, these symptoms can be exaggerated/more apparent when smoking.

    (Source: My dad is a pulmonologist (lung and heart doc) and I have orthostatic hypotension.)

    Drinking lost of water and fluids with electrolytes can help more than you think, so like yoda said, make sure you are hydrated. This was stated not only in the above post but also in The Return of the Jedi, so it's pretty reliable info.

    If nothing else checks out, make sure you trust your dealer, I've had it happen with two of my old dealers where they were lacing the weed with bleach to make it seem "Stronger" and I got so sick off that shit.

    I smoke alot myself, and it seems like i cant build my tolerance.. im smokin some bagseed i just grew myself so it aint laced with nada, and a couple hits im dizzy as shit.. one hit too many and im sick to my gut. I like a little tolerance cause i like to torch it up when i smoke.. wtf? I drink alot of 7up primarily cause water makes me nauseous with my meds and i taste metal all the time.. is 7up still considered clear liquids these days?
