I have smoked weed for years and in the past 3 years after cutting back and quiting smoking as much as I had in the past I now have feelings like I'm having a heart attack. I've smoked since I was 12 and it really angers me that I now can't smoke because I prefer it over drinking alcohol. What I have noticed is that my tolerance has come down significantly. I use to smoke an ounce of weed a week as a teenager and now I might smoke an 1/8 of an ounce in a month. The minute I take more than 2 hits of pot, I'm completely out of it and high as a kite. If I try and smoke more than that, I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack, the other night I was driving home and my arms and legs started going numb and being tingly, I was scared sh*tless. I don't know if I'll ever smoke again, I wish I knew the cause for this.
The cuase is that you have started to develop panic attacks while you smoke marijuana. It means that your serotonin supplies have been plundered by pot and it sucks, but you will probably have to give bud up for good. I'm sorry to tell you that but it's how things go sometimes. Does it make sense?
hey i know it has been a few years since you posted this comment... but i had the exact same reaction. i'm just here to agree with everyone. i know it seems pointless but NO YOU AREN"T ALONE. lol it sucks i know. the first time i smoked it i had a "bad trip" or "an anxiety attack" or "paranioa something or another"... anyway whatever you wanna call it i stoped smoking weed for months. the next time i tried it was a few months ago and i was drunk. well moments after i smoked it i had no idea what was going on and i couldn't control myself. my friends ended up putting me in another room by myself. when i woke up i was drenched with sweat and for the next few weeks i was really lost and had no idea what was wrong with me. needless to say i wont be smoking anymore. just wanted you to know that there are more people out there with the same reaction to what you had.
wow i am reading some of these posts and u know i have never heard of any of this stuff the only times i get those types of reactions to weed is when i smoke really really good sh*t like this afghani sh*t i got a month ago u know its funny that u all are having these problems with the sh*t hey guys and galls its just good weed the reason ur sh*t is all pumped up and what not is prolly cuz u were smoking primo PRIMO
I've been smoking steady for about a year now and a few weeks ago i had this happen too. i sat up and immediately felt like i was going to pass out. i was light headed, my heart was racing, and i was tingly and numb all over. after an hour of not being able to slow down my heart rate i went to the hospital. they pumped saline into me and did tests and all of that but sent me home and told me to see a cardiologist. i went in and had to wear a heart monitor for 48 hours. they found that i was perfectly healthy and nothing was wrong. so about a week later, i smoked again. the same thing happened, and i forced myself to sleep it off. it was terrible, i kept waking up to make sure i was still alive. i'm pretty sure it was just anxiety the second time it happened. i was so worried that it would happen again that it did. but, i still dont know what triggered it the first time. it sucks. so im just not going to smoke again for a very very long time. maybe someday i'll try it again, but all i know is i can't smoke anymore, and since weed is illegal, no doctors want to test to see if i'm allergic. best of luck to you though
Wow, that sounds really scary. It sounds more to me like you probably had a panic attack because the symptoms line up with that more than an allergy. In either case, it is best that you lay off it. Good luck to you!
ya . i smoked like 7 times a every day for like 2 years and i went 2 my friend house and i get green fevor ALOT and i thought that i had it again and my hole body tingled really bad and i was laying on the floor shakeing and pukeing my gust out and i could barly breath and everything i saw was gray with blue and pink and i thoght i was dieing and i was crying and that was the worst experience iv ever had and last time i ever did it . and i dont feel normal eather / email me
Every time I have ever smoked (and tried eating, just for good measure) weed I have been sent into baisically another dimension. Off of one hit (and it doesn't matter if the stuff is deemed "good" or "weak" by my friends who smoke alot) my heart pounds to the point where I think I'm going to have heart attack, I have terrible anxiety, my body convulses, there's tingling allover my face and behind my eyes, time stretches and then compresses, I have out of body experiences, my conciousness feels like it is smooshed into the back of my skull and I feel as if I am watching my life through the movie screen in a theater. And I have hallucinations that last for hours and hours. If you've ever seen paintings by the artist Alex Grey - that is what I see!!! Also, depending on how much I smoke, the out of body/anxiety can last for WEEKS. It is terrible.
My friends who smoke alot tell me I'm just nervous, but I assure you it goes beyond that, and it is insulting to me that they imply I'm just scared. There is something about my body chemistry and thc that do not mix well. It's unfortunate, because I would love to have a normal reaction and just chill with my friends, but at this point with how many times I've tried it and the consistency of the reaction I think it's just better for me to stay away.

well...I've never had anxiety issues and have never had any problems of anytime
my friends REALLY wanted me to get high and after years of convincing I tried it.
I was excited! I really was! But every time I smoked (which has been 6 or 7 times...) I would get terrible cramps in my stomach, my muscles were super tense, and I got a raging headache. The only way to make me feel better was to go to bed. I didn't have any anxiety attacks or anything. I just felt like c**p. I was in a place with my best friends and was totally comfortable but it was just terrible. Anyone else experience this?

I had a similar result to smoking weed. The first time i tried ,i was in a car with two of my friends who are huge pot heads and they were perfectly fine the entire time. in the beginning i was fine. great even. i felt a floating feeling and i felt i could think more and the music i was listening to sounded amazing and it was an amazing experience. then later on, somewhere down the road i started to think that i had seen all of this before. Major dejavu. i was thinking that this was the end of my life and at after it ended it would just start again from the beginning of my life and that life was just a loop. then everything went into a loop, and time slowed down to the point where i felt that nothing was happening and i was stuck there forever. i felt that it was the end of my life and that i was in hell and my punishment was this. i have never had i more horrible experience in my entire life. (My apologies is i cannot explain what happened to me well, its very hard to explain. just trust me that it was horrible). I literally wanted to die. I thought that maybe i had just had too much for my first time and that was why i was flipping out. So i tried it again with different friends and different weed. THE SAME THING HAPPENED. except for the fact that there was no good part in the beginning, it just went straight to the bad part. i had the same feeling late life had fallen into a timeless loop and i was terribly scared that it would never end.
These two experiences are the most horrible, scary, and worst things that i have ever felt in my entire life. i dont even think that anything i will ever feel can possibly compare to it.
if somebody could please email me and help me with this. i want to be able to have that good feeling like i had before, but with out the feeling like i am having the ultimate torture part....
also both times were with blunt paper if that makes a differnece, idk, im not a smoker.

To the very first writer, I smoked weed two days ago.. and I started to feel numbness all over my body. I tried to eat and go to sleep but it was hard for me to go to sleep because I couldnt feel anything. The next day I felt the same. Here it is two days later and my body is still numb. I cant really describe the feeling. I cant feel anything Im doing. I cant feel myself getting dressed, I cant feel my hands go in my pocket, I cant feel my legs move in bed. Its really bad and its starting to scare me. The two other people I smoked with are completely fine, so I figured I had an allergic reaction or something. I cant even feel myself licking my lips. It's just really trippin me out, and IDK WHAT TO DO!!!! How long will this continue???
You can in fact be allergic to THC, but what you have described i get everytime, iv been smoking weed i think for about 9 years roughly now, tingling all over and having hunger pains is normal, if i was to guess id say if anything, you have past experience with being paranoid, in which the weed would cause your paranoia to return but much more heavily, so it was all basically in your mind, but if i am wrong then you most likely are allerigc to THC like my cousin in fact, he had an allergic reaction to it 2 days ago.
Lol that's funny because what the OP described is pretty much the same experience I had when I first tried smoking dope (must have the same brain chemistry). Anyways, I know it's been a few years and he's probably not reading these anymore, but for anybody else with similar reactions I'll let you know what happened to me and how I fixed it.
K, so I first tried smoking weed 9 years ago when I was 11. I got so cooked that I started feeling really sick, lightheaded, and I was hallucinating like crazy. I didn't "green out" per se, but years later I can say I was pretty close. So needless to say, I had a pretty shitty night feeling so sick and being so screwed up.
When I woke up the next morning, I couldn't believe it, I still felt frikkin stoned lol. My motor skills sucked, my hearing was distorted, and everything still felt liquid. I was of course freaking out. I thought maybe the THC somehow did some brain damage or something because for weeks after (although it got better) I never felt completely sober. Even after a few months, as f*****g ridiculous as this sounds, I'd get "weed flashbacks"... Where literally all of a sudden I'd feel baked again.
What did I do?
One night, I decide to give Mary Jane another chance, so me and my buddy roll up and smoke a nice two-pape. After about 5 minutes I can say that I started to feel really baked, exactly like the first time I ever smoked weed BUT this time I had an epiphany. I realized that for all the weeks before that I thought I was screwed, I wasn't. Because NOW, I was ACTUALLY screwed again.
So I had another shitty night but when I woke up, strangely enough, I felt sober as a judge again and haven't felt the "weed flashbacks" since. And I learned something important that I think still has value to this day, but basically, that night taught me that our minds our extremely powerful, such that they can alter even our own perception if presented with a strong enough placebo.
Now I'm not saying that this goes for everybody with similar experiences, but if you're like me, it's all up in your head. Seriously. And since that night I've ingested lots of THC, through many different mediums, and I can say that I also have a low tolerance for it. I usually hit off a one hitter before I go to bed and it puts me in a good high. Anything more and I start to get anti-social.

I am one person you can put down as allergic to THC. When I was 16yrs old I smoked with some friends before class, I had maybe 4 or 5 hits. Then we went into class and I told my friend I didn't feel well she told me it was ok I was just high. I told her "No, my throat was hurting and felt swollen and I couldn't breathe." Then I fell straight backwards stiff as a board. Then I got helped up off the ground and thought I walked to my desk pulled out my chair and sat down and laid my head down. When really I walked into every woodgluing clamp on the table bouncing of each one as it hit my hip bone, ran right into the pole in the middle of the room, took a grapevine step over and fell over a wood cutting table. Then the nurse came and took me to the office and gave me medicine because it began getting worse. Then my parents took me to the ER ! AND THAT IS HOW I FOULD OUT I AM ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK ALLEGIC TO THC!!!!!!
this will probably sound odd......
... OK
i used drugs regularly for about a year... nothing hardcore.. mostly pot, some coke .did a little SOBOXIN. and a few pills OXYs and sutch. i have never had a drug problem. i was just selling regularly... the only thing i USED regularly was POT.. i gave it all up one day because i started a new job... i wasnt even AROUND drugs for around 3 months. then one day a buddy of mine asked if i wanted to smoke a joint with him... SURE.. everything was fine... i knew it would hit me hard so i didnt smoke alot...
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED: i was chilling talking to my buddy.. then all of a sudden my thought wandered to getting caught! witch NEVER happened to me before... instantly i had this sensation that there was something MOVING AROUND INIDE ME, UNDER MY SKIN... yeah..
i summed it up that i was just "bugging out"... told my wife and she didnt know what to say. so 3 weeks later i was REALLY starting to wonder what the problem was... i DID NOT have the feeling any other time.. so i rolled a joint and smoked it... i was chilling out enjoying my high... then the feeling came back suddenly.
if i focus REALLY hard i can make it stop momentarrily... i had been under alot of stress at the time (and still am) and i supose it could be anxiety related... or at least i HOPE SO.
so this happened to me AGAIN like 3 weeks ago.. smoked some pot... feeling came back... its really bothering me that i dont know whats going on..
i have ordered some of that "legal bud" online to smoke and see if the same thing happens... but so far is is ONLY pot that makes this happen!
I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE ***edited by moderator*** ** inappropriate posting** IS WRONG WITH ME
please help!
