I use to smoke allot of weed for the past year, about 5, 6, maby 8 blunts a day, but one day my friend an I had no weed to smoke an had some spice, So I was like "Okay I guess" all I took was 3 hits I thought I had a good high going, I was laughing at first having a good time, then suddenly I went into this faze, thinking I was in a movie or something. Everything looked so fake. Then Suddenly I was having such a bad trip, my brain went completely blank. I had to tell my brain everything to do. I was holding a cup of ice and I had to think why; then tell my self "OK now pour the drink". I thought okay I'm just being dumb. I sat down, but when I went to stand up I felt like I was falling through a maze, like some sort of illusionation. I felt like I was falling through this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu7gMwSPv3Y
I fell completely back. I was sitting there just illusionating. I couldn't move. All my thoughts were just repeating. My mind was blank, I couldn't see anything, hear anything or even talk. All that was going through my mind was "Oooh I'm swallowing again, ops I've thought this before, ooh I'm thinking it again, yup here we goo, always thinking the same thoughts". I just wanted it to end. It was the scariest thing in my whole life. My point is, now every time I smoke weed, I get this paranoia thinking it's going to happen again. I try to control it an I can for a little, but sometimes it just hits me out of no where. For example the other day I only took a few hits, I felt good, then I was standing in a group of kids just talking then I did some sort of breathing patter it felt like, Then I got all paranoid thinking it might happen. One of my close friends was there, the one that was there when I had a bad spice trip so I looked at him an he knew right away.We left. After that I controlled it. I don't know what it is with me though, I can't figure out if I'm just tricking my mind making my brain trip, or if it's a severe side effect.. It's like I feel scared when I do patterns of something, for example if I'm trying to brush my teeth, or eating, I don't know. It's very scary, I can control it sometimes, but I'm always scared of having a bad trip, or a high I had from the spice. Why do you think this is? Or have I completely lost you? Most people don't understand what I'm talking about when I try to explain it, so I understand if you don't know as well.. If anyone could get back to me , that'd be greatly appreciated...
i know weed is a big trend everyone smokes it but if its not for you then fuc* it!
you had ocd. fear of change. if you did something last week and then did the same the week after, same order, time and genrally very similar. You kinda' get paranoid that you've gone through a time loop. Like you've done this before and then an urge to do something totally random e.g jumping to "break it". So you deffo know it''s now not the same and not a repeat of last week, as you did not just do 10 star jacks last week.
I know exactly how you feel..I think. well when I took it, at first everything was fine, I was just stood with everyone having a laugh but then I suddenly started feeling scared like I was in a dream that I couldn't get out of. my heart was beating so fast, it was like I was in dream and I kept trying to wake my self up but I just couldn't then something that had just happened would happen again, I had to calm my self down and try to tell my self id be OK soon. I tried to tell people around me but they just thought I was making it up because I was stoned. honestly I can not describe the feeling it was so so so scary. I would think I was lying in a hospital bed and at any minute I was going to wake up surrounded by doctors and my family, I couldn't get this thought out my head! I thought I was dead and my life was flashing before my eyes, I started crying but everyone just laughed. Now I've had cannabis since but it has never been like that... apart from last night the exact same happened but I sort of new I'd be OK because this had all happened before. It was the most terrifying this ever.
does this feeling ever go away? please help me out
Hey man. I don't want to be a bad influence because I don't know you or your life and I would hate to encourage anyone to do something that could damage their lives. Nevertheless, I don't really smoke, though I did a few times about a year ago. Most of the times I did it, I got similar trips like the one's you're talking about, usually at the beginning of my high. I felt my heart rushing, I was so scared and I felt like I wanted it to end immediately. That same day though, I started to feel good after a few hours went by. Though, there was one time where it actually felt pretty good from the start. It's because I had been drinking that night and then smoked AFTER I drank. This way, I was a lot more relaxed and calmed and so I didn't feel paranoid about having a bad trip. I think maybe you can try this, drink a little bit and then when you feel relaxed, take a hit and see how you feel. I think that will stop you from thinking that you'll have a trip and you probably won't have one. :) Anyway, if you can't have a good experience with weed then just stop smoking altogether. It is probably better to live life without doing it anyway.
many people believe that marijuana causes anxiety problems but the truth is that marijuana may just brings out the thoughts that you all-ready had dwelling in your head. marijuana is not a great herb for people to smoke that are terrified and experience many "what ifs" in their head. the truth is that you cannot live your life in fear. sometimes you have to just go with the flow of life, i had anxiety problems and i conquered them by balancing out the many fears that i had with an "i dont give a f**k attitidue." you dont want to be completely careless and fearless in your life and destroy some of the things that you have, but you certainly dont want to live a life living on eggshells and be absolutely terrified to make a mistake or be fearful of what people think of you. a coward dies a thousand deaths, a soldier dies but once. that means somebody that lives a life too scared to do what they really want will be miserable but the soldier will live out his destiny and overcome his fears living life to the fullest while only really experiencing death once while the coward will have a death-like life of depression for not overcoming his fears. people that smoke marijuana without anxiety attacks are people that are confident and bold. living a self conscious fearful life is almost as bad as being suicidal because you are scared to live your life while many people may argue that some individuals are too "wreckless" and "dangerous" because they do not care about what other people think about them. but back to my first point you need to find a balance in your life between these two type of lives. i wouldnt recommend smoking by yourself ever in fact if your going to do that you should go for a walk put some peaceful music in your headphones and just relax, or go for a bike ride. going for a bike ride will tire out a little bit of that anxiety. also smoke with people you feel comfortable with. i only smoke with friends, people i think i can trust. they have seen me have anxiety problems on weed and they helped me get through it by playing some good music in the car and it was definately worth the experience. also going to see a movie or going out to eat is another way to test let go of the anxiety. take deep breaths and relax. stay away from nervous people when your high or jumpy people that might start fights. this will "blow your high" this may also increase your anxiety.
you can also gradually build your tolerance for weed by smoking a little bit more each time
Felt the same. Its just like a non-stop repetition of some fragments. Its keeps on repeating that we loose the control of our brain, time, place, etc. I had this experience twice, the last one was 2 days back & i don't wanna go through it again. Because it is the most SCARY experience of life.
Last night, I took literally probably 8 hits off of a blunt that my friends were passing around and I felt like I was tripping. I smoked spice for about two months and quit about a week ago and just hit it like once a day after last week and completely stopped Tuesday. I guess this spice is still in my system and the weed triggered it or something. Anyways, I'm also having extreme mental fogginess and I can barely talk normally to people and it's starting to get really annoying, did you have this symtpom or anyone else? Feel free to post.
I want to know why I only took 8 hits off of weed and felt like I was tripping & how long does the "mental fogginess" lasts.. Thanks.
Thiis os exactly what im feeling right now
So how are you today?
