Help! Marijuana still in my body after 5 days

does someone wanna do a follow up?

I smoked on Saturday night, and I'm stuck in this horrible high, its not even a high.

If i don't think about it it goes away, but If i think about it, it gets bad. Ill get pins and needles in everywhere, and if i touch a body part, i feel like i was touching it for 5 minutes after i stopped touching it..

Time can become really strange too if I think hard enough about it.

im looking for a follow up also, its been 2.5 days and im feeling the waves all over my body, and its not going away. Just hoping everything will be fine.

My brother had that experience, he said it lasted a bunch of days, but it did clear up and him and I both spoke to doctors about it.

The doc said it was most likely that he had been off zoloft for a while and it was time for the symptoms to come back, and he may have confused them for marijuana's effects. Other than that, my doctor said even he smokes occasionally, and there really aren't any major life threatening brain damaging problems to it if you're enjoying the herb all by itself.

I hope that helps a little bit =)

your weed was probably laced with pcp or acid.

the first couple times i smoked, it was all good and i was fine the next day.

After that every time i smoked it was horrible the few days after.

The symptoms i have are kind of like what others said: The few days after i can't think straight. No, i can think straight, but i can't think clearly. Ill be talking to someone, then as im talking i just forget what we're talking about. Talking on the phone is extremely hard, and i find myself constantly asking the other person to repeat what they said, and its hard to keep track of the conversation im having.
Ill be walking down the street, then all of a sudden id stop and wonder where i was and what i was doing. Also doing menial tasks, like adding 2+1 are hard. Focusing is just imposible, by the time i'd add 2 and 1 i would forget why i was adding them.
I also felt paranoia during that time. This was horrible because i was just constantly worried that i wouldn't ever get better. But I was paranoid about everything, not just that (eg. i was worreid that people were mad at me for no reason, etc).

It lasted about 3-4 days, getting a little better each day. Now (and this may all be in my head) i still feel like I can't hear properly, and i have to ask people to repeat themselves a lot. I think it is weed related (an not b/c my hearing is bad) because im only 20, and this seems to have happened all of a sudden, and for some reason it just feels like an after effect of weed.

It seems like some certain people get affected in this way, (i thought i was alone until i read this thread).

I want to talk about it with people, so if u guys have felt things like this share!

You are fine, sweetie. I've been smoking cannabis for 11 years and have experienced all kinds of things in that time mostly good, sometimes bad). My concern is the TYPE of weed you smoked. I am a firm believer in organic, natural weed, and refuse to buy anything if I don't know where it came from. It sounds to me like the weed you smoked was "laced" or "tainted" in some way. My advice to you is: don't grow it yourself (it's illegal, after all!), but DO find a grower that is not "commericial," and grows organically, meaning no pesticides or fungicides. And, always, know where your stuff comes from! My very first time smoking was a nightmare (didn't trust the guy and it was a horrible experience). I swore I'd never do it again, until I met my stoner-husband. We smoke organic weed everyday, all day, if we can help it. And I've never experienced a "bad" high with him. An old friend of mine told me years ago, only smoke with people you trust. There are people out there that will mix their weed with other drugs, baaaaad! Best of luck to you.

marijuana doesn't kill, you cant even overdose on it unless you cook it up and eat way to much of it. but other that that, your a beginner so don't even worry about, your body isn't use to the THC in your blood so the reaction you had was probably because your body was like WHAT THE f**k.

I have searched for a while to find an article like this, i am feeling the same effects for 6 days. In the begining i was paranoid and scared that this would never stop and i actually considered killing myself if it never stopped. I am still kind of scared but articles like this give me hope, i am like the rest of you, a very intelligent individual but i just cant think straight like go deep into thought. Im wondering when this will stop, i mean even as i write this i have allready made several pauses to ask myself what the **** im doing. How long will this last, how long can it last? Is there anything i can do to get back my train of thought? Could this last forever?

you all need to just chill out. your having anxiety from grtting high. next time don't get so high. i've been smoking 15 years and it still happens to me from time to time.

most of it has to do with your setting, kinda how an acid trip can be good or bad.

if any of you have mental health issues, i highly suggest you refrain from smoking, its not a good idea.

1 more thing, in my years as a pothead i have NEVER seen laced weed. if your pot smells like ammonia its because of a mold on the weed. the brick weed is bricked while its fresh, and cures in the brick. it ferments/molds releasing an ammonia odor. in that process non phyco active stuff becomes thc, making the weed abit more potent. that weed tends to give me the "freek outs" since i get so high. every now and then i get good high grade weed and never freeked out on the good stuff.

Hey I sometimes have a similar experience with weed (been smokin for about a year now)
I believe in most cases this has nothing to do with the weed being laced etc... afterall it has happened to me on several ocassions that were weeks apart and even in a different state with a different group of people... instead i believe that some people's brains are simply genetically structured to react in this manner
I have never personally met another person who reacts this way, but there are multiple accounts of it on the internet
My advice? Drink lots of water (i know it sounds dumb but it helps a lot), take some good breaths (oxygen helps?), and convince yourself you are better! Take note of that last suggestion... marijuana is a mental drug so you can try to beat the bad effects with your own mental strength
BUT if any problem persists for an extended period of time (you have to decide how long that period is... sorry), you should definitely see a doctor about it. There are so many possibilities with the human body... perhaps it has nothing to do with the weed at all and its just a giant, terrible, coincidence!



To describe my experience personally, whenever I get moderately high I start feeling pins and needles - but they dont actually hurt or drive me totally crazy - in fact i like to sort of play with this numb feeling because it seems to travel around my face when i poke it (which confuses the hell out of my friends as can be expected - afterall if you saw someone with a giant grin on their face pokin themselves, wouldnt you think they just escaped from the psych ward?)

As I said, it is not a constant feeling and for me i can sort of guide the pins and needles to different parts of my face by thinking of it really hard or by touching those areas

Therefore, i believe that it is simply a sort of hallucination within my brain (or in other words the feeling is not due to an actual lack of blood circulation or nerve damage)

For me (unlike some people) this feeling goes away the same day as when I baked and i have never felt it outside of marijuana use (i dont do any other drugs and i dont smoke btw)


On another note though... just to put this on the record in case someone is googling it etc... one time I got so high (2-3 gravity bong hits) that i started hallucinating to a point where i thought i would die
In my mind time seemed to have slowed down so much that it took me an hour to walk inside the house from the porch and lay down on a couch
During this "hour long" walk to the couch i felt like my friend asked me the same question (Hey are you OK?) OVER and OVER and OVER again (but i feel like he actually did ask me that a lot - it just stood out to me more when i was that high)
So anyways I then proceeded to basically have a panic attack about the thought of dying (my friends helped me by telling me to take deep breaths, which worked very well... until i started taking breaths so big that i went to the opposite side of the spectrum...)

But I believe that all of this was not actually caused directly by the pot, but instead by me THINKING it was happening (if that makes any sense)
I believe that the drug helped me persuade myself into thinking i was so high i would die
This would explain what happened next... you see since my body thought it was poisoned it turned on a self defense mechanism... throwing up
And once i threw up once, I started to think of throwing up again... which resulted in me throwing up again (not unusual to throw up if ur thinking about throwing up even when your sober)
And since I was high, this thought would not get out of my head for the rest of the night... which resulted in a VERY rough night
Also because I was high, at some point i got the munchies (even in my terrible state) so me and my friends drove to the local wendys - with a LOT of pit stops for unlucky me

The next day I was still very high, but i convinced myself that i was better... and guess what... it WORKED
Thats why I say fight the effects with brain power... I believe marijuana pits you vs you in a mental battle... and you just have to trully believe in the better side!

Looking back at this experience i cant help but laugh at some points (at the time and for the next week i was scared to death of course)
I dont want to get that high again, and I hopefully never will
This doesnt mean i stopped smoking all together though... i just control myself so that i only get a buzz or a slight high


I could go more in depth with what these experiences felt like for me if someone asks... but there really is no need i think if you get the general picture... afterall like i said earlier, everyone reacts differently due to small genetic differences in their nerve systems - and due to what thoughts pop up into your head when you are high
Ex. Ever since the first time i felt the 'numb' feeling when high, ive thought about that feeling every time i became high - resulting in the numb feeling! Sorta obvious pattern really...


So overall i say this... if you have some seriously bad reactions to pot, and very few good ones, then stop doing it! Seems pretty obvious to me!
I personally dont care for pot anymore... that 'numb' feeling got old (it was only entertaining cause it was new)... and the only other effect i feel from pot (uncontrollable laughter) can be also induced by a good joke

So therefore I am only a 'social smoker' and only bake when my friends pull out a joint or a bong (with the exception of Gravity Bongs... i still stay away from those after that strange night)
I truly only do this so that nobody feels uncomfortable having someone in the group not participating (sheep like other sheep)


Good luck to my fellow 'bad-reaction-to-pot' smokers! Hopefully the sideffects will go away soon. And if they don't... seriously consider a doctor because it can be another medical condition.

Pot is a mental 'game'... try to beat it with a good mental pokerface!


PS... ignore bad punctuation, terrible syntax, etc... afterall I wrote THAT MUCH and its past 2am right now...

same thing happend to me its been like this for like 36 hours... also have some trippy feeling that i was like in a dream and people kept trying to wake me up but i couldnt... did it workout for anyone or am i just fu...?

Im writing this while Im *sober.
I smoked tuesday night, after a long day of school and work.
I smoked with people who smoke often, so we smoked a lot (it may have been my 10th time).
and kept smoking.
The next day I felt really good all day, but started to get freaked out when it never went away. Worked out and felt better.
That was wednesday.
Thursday I had school and work again. During work I got *blasted with a wave of highness*
Initially I freaked out because I was at work (I scoop ice cream at haagen dazs in the food court of a mall),
but realized that I could function well enough so I eased up a bit (was still high).
After work I went to the gym and worked out HARD.
I felt better but not perfect.
Sobered up by the end of the night, woke up today (friday) fine.
Then right before my show (I play in a reggae band) I got *blasted again.
I was paranoid my playing was off, but afterwards talked to my band peeps and they said I played fine (guess you can play high).
Its just now wearing off again, and this page helped ease my mood.
I do believe its mental because when I start thinking about it and its quiet, the anxiety gets worse.
*make it a note that while getting *blasted by the high* its only about half of the effects I usually feel... and most of them are the bad ones =[ (ie: paranoia, anxiety, time gets slowed at random points... but I experience no needles or pain)
Hope this helps, and do things to get your mind off of it ;-) Talking to people helped me the most.
Lets hope I dont get like this tomorrow ;-)

 

Relax...i mean it...relax. this is what my friends and i call a whitener(white...ner) because it makes you go all pale white and feel weak.
all you have to do is lay down with legs in an elevated position and take deep breaths. as far as feeling like you're dying, well you are not. i know it does really feel like it but you wont die. same thing happened to me more than once. i know it feels like you are about to pass out, your heart pounding like its about to jump out of your chest, the sweaty forehead and clamy hands, YOU ARE NOT DYING.
it happens when you smoke too much at once,
But here is the part that really sucks, weed makes you paranoid so if you think you are dying it will make it worse, you will be scared and your heart will pound faster, the trick is to make your self calm down, take long deep breaths and relax, also you should prob. call it a night at that point and pass the F**k out(i mean go to sleep)(not like you will have a choice anyway) you will get tired and fall asleep, dont fight it just sleep it off.

 

Your friend/roomate is blowing smoke in your face when you sleep, its a prank

 

this is called marijuana withdrawal, if you dont smoke any more should clear up in a week, but depends on how long a person has been smoking for.

This happened to me twice.
The first time I was in the woods, and my mind felt like it was shutting down. It was freezing, and I blacked out. I came to, screaming bloody murder because the pins and needles feeling was all over my body and it hurt so bad. I couldn't see and it felt like I was shrinking away to nothing. My boyfriend called the hospital, and I went and stayed for 4 hours until I felt fine. I thought it was laced with something, because I didn't think weed did that to someone.
But last night I smoked again, and the same thing happened. Only I handled it better.
What's happening to you is your mind does not like the weed, and your nerves are pinched, causing the feeling. Your nerves get messed up because your brain is reacting in a horrible way.
It will go away, but when you feel high and it hurts you have to tell yourself your safe, secure, and sane. It will go away. You just have to take your brain back over.
The best thing to do now is to stay away from weed. Because you probably will have the reaction again.
