Strange reactions to smoking marijuana.

I smoked til i got cannibanoid toxicity or (P.O.D), and i went along with my friends into another room to roll a joint, i was interacting with them but I had no conscious or awareness of myself. I couldn't hear as much as the voices fade and then i can hear only two words being repeated in my head. Down. sick. my friend starts talking to me and i dont hear him but i can see everything happening very still no movement at all. And he told me i turned white....then full beat red and my chin and face looked like the appearance of satan to them. Weed Anxiety is trippy..

iv had that sensation since the first time i got stoned, it was so overwhelming i got scared to smoke again, i now smoke just about everyday, and i get the same sensation almost every time, depending on the quality of the weed. but wow i love it, its just an intense high, usually happens with a strong indica, but its nothing to worry about, the only theory i have is this: weed will occasionally open up a chakra (most likely the root chakra). this only happens to some of us, cause some of us are more spiritually ready or awakened, yet we are not always aware of this and thus it can be very overwhelming. next time it happens, realise that it is a wonderful feeling. i myself have tried to meditate stoned and sober, both very cool. im working on meditating sober tho, as i want to explore more of my consciousness naturally. research this stuff, understand the effects of spirituality and the Kundalini chakra and it might make more sense to you. when something is unfamiliar to us, we get freaked out. familiarize yourself and you wont be overwhelmed. sweeeeet =)

it sounds like it is anxiety, but it is sure as hell very unpleasant. i am a deep-thinker so i always try to decipher things, especially my own brain and thought process. this might help:i came back from a 10-day vacation not too long ago, but ill start my story with my first panic attack (before i smoked pot)when i was 13 or 14, i was at the mall with my dad, my best friend, and a girl my dad liked. we were going to go eat lunch at a chinese place down the road, and strangely my dad told me to ride with the girl while he drives there alone. ive always had an attachment to my father since my mother was never a parent figure to me, she chose alcohol addiction over me and my father. in the car i had a brief thought of her poisoning the air. it doesnt make any sense to me now though, because she would be poisoned too. at the food place, i felt like i couldnt swallow. then i thought my throat was closing up and it became harder to breath. yet it took 2 hours to get me into the hospital where they told me, it was a panic attack. i had several after that and they were so bad i was put in a medical center for emotionally unstable for a week and placed on medication. then the panic attacks almost never happened.the first time i ever got high was after almost a year of smoking. it never seemed to get me high until this one time. after i smoked the bowl with my friend, i went back inside to play WoW. for about 10 seconds, i felt the world change around me. i felt like i couldnt breathe, but when i took a big inhale, i regained control. i looked around at my friends and the first words i spoke were "your face looks 3D!" then i played wow, but could hardly focus. everything around my character would fade out to black, but i kept playing anyway and later devoured some chicken wings. for months later, i experienced minor panic attacks on weed, mainly with feelings like i couldnt breathe. later, i understood i had to distract myself from those thoughts because it was all in my head.(years later) after experiencing suicidal thoughts for the first time in my life, i decided the drug my doctors put me on was not helping. i stepped down to taking the pill every other day (and remain there)hearing about this "legal weed" sh*t and being a teenager who loved pot, i decided to try it. it screwed me up a lot more than pot, but never seemed to cause freak outs. then i tried a brand called Mr. Nice Guy. the person who sold it to me warned me just to take a hit because its very potent. i took two. walking down the road my vision began to wobble up and down. it became hard to hold my balance, but i wasnt panicking. i got on the bus and sat down, everything seemed a lot heavier. a few weeks later, i smoked a few hits in my garage and returned to the indoors. i became very dizzy and decided to place my hand over my chest to check my heart beat. it was out of control. i stood up to go to the bathroom and collapsed to the floor. i tried crawling by my gravity was all messed up. it took me 30 minutes to crawl 10 feet to my bathroom and puke in the toilet. from that point on i was done with synthetics.on shrooms, it was a mind opening experience. i had a horrible trip my 3rd time this summer: starting with my friend puking, my other friend crying about his family, me trying to figure out how to help them out and i lost my mind for a few hours. we all ended up laying down in my room covered in blankets trying to fall asleep. none of us could. after like half an hour of constant moving and feeling intense panic, i again put on pink floyd and said "Im gonna ride this out. i wanted this." i looked up at a design on my wall and began having enjoyable visuals again like the first hour of the trip. then i realized, it was all in my head. the panic, the weird bodily feelings. everything i felt was just the shrooms making anxiety a nightmare. from then on, everybody snapped out of it and we enjoyed the last few hours of the trip while watching Pink Floyd's The Wall movie.not even a week later, one of my friends brain seemed broken. i noticed he was constantly stuck in thought loops like while on shrooms. he was overly paranoid and always said he felt like he was "running out of time"my other friend had emotional breakdowns whenever he drink alcohol. crying hysterically, feeling like he should give up. all of his past memories would pour out of him.my third friend (the one who started the bad trip by puking) was pretty much normal, although he wanted to do shrooms a lot more, (which is funny because he was like "IM DONE WITH EVERYTHING" that night)but weirdly, i seemed to develop panic attacks only after smoking pot. id feel like i was going to die. once my buddy sold me a slice that was de-stemmed because he made brownies with the stems. after smoking, i thought "what if he used nuts in the brownies and then touched the weed with nut oil on his hands" because i was allergic to nuts. i had a panic attack, i felt like my throat was closing and breathing became more difficult. i told my friends to use my epi-pen in my coat pocket if i passed out and wasnt breathing. 10 minutes later, it subsided. later while smoking that pot, it happened again. i felt a snap in my leg (which is actually normal) but it got me thinking about the possibility of the nut oil on the weed.now to the most recent events:after coming back from a 10 day vacation in florida, i was so ready to smoke. at 11pm i bolted down the freezing cold roads to my friends house to give him his souvenir and hopefully get high. sure enough, he had a bowl packed in his steam-roller. knowing i had a very low tolerance, i took small hits. i got VERY high and my friend put on a documentary. for the first 10 minutes, i thought it was some whack brainwashing, drug-simulating video but then it went into interesting topics that captivated my thoughts. when he passed out, i returned home and finished the documentary. there were small thoughts of panic, but i controlled them all.the next day, i got a 20 bag and was on a car ride with my friends. this was a NIGHTMARE. after smoking, i was extremely high and had bad cottonmouth. it was getting a little hard to breathe, so we stopped at a store and i went in for a drink. of course this store had no 99 cent drinks, they charged 1.59 for a f*****g arizona. i walked back out like "what the f**k, they charge 1.59 for arizonas." my buddy was like "just give me what you got and ill cover the rest." we went back inside and got 2 sobes for 3 bucks. now my mouth was wet and i felt breathing was easier and normal. we got back on the highway and headed to the temp agency they were going to apply to. somehow, they realized (or in my mind i thought the passenger was having a panic attack because he kept burping and breathing heavily) that the agency was closed. so the driver whipped the car off the exit (very quick and dangerously) then pulled off at the nearest turn around. the passenger said "yo, lets take the back way home" i thought he was scared of his driving too and didnt want to crash or get pulled over on the highway, so i agreed about taking the back roads. there were too many cars coming to turn, so he decided to just turn into the breakdown lane, speed up and merge. it TERRIFIED me. i felt like i had to piss and thought we were going to crash. then i smelled cologne, which made me think of alcohol and made me think he was drunk. but i knew he wasnt because i never saw him drink anything other than the sobe. after a long trip on the back road, we took a wrong turn. the lake was on our right side, meaning we were traveling south when we had to go north. they BOTH thought it was the right way... but i spoke up and said "the lake should be on our left side, why are we going south..." the passenger said "naw, i take this way home from work all the time" then after about 4 minutes, we passed his friends house and he said "oh wait, sh*t. you're right. this is the wrong way" now in my mind, i thought they were under the influence of other drugs because ive never seen someone that stupid on weed. finally, i got home, took a piss, heated up some leftovers and devoured them while watching an episode of weeds. my other friend came over moments later and we smoked again. i was calm and at an enjoyable high then.a few days ago, the same friend came over and we smoked in my garage. it was freezing and the cold always makes me tense. after standing up, my balance became a little off. i stood in the sun to warm up and kept telling myself "its just weed" we went inside and continued our campaign on halo 4. it was so hard for me to play, i kept running straight in and getting blown up. i finally put down the controller and said "i cant play this" but my friend still wanted to play a game, so he put something one-player on. i then thought i was forgetting to breath. and it really felt like it. it seemed to explain the reason as to why i would get very dizzy and lightheaded. about 3 times i felt like i was about to pass out, but right before i would i would force myself to take a deep breath and concentrate on breathing which seemed to bring me back. i still am not sure if i was actually forgetting to breath or experiencing a terrible panic attack, or both.a day or two later, i smoked a bowl with my friend and a new guy i have only met once. i am very uneasy around new people because of past experiences so it was strange to me, but i told myself to grow up. we smoked and then it got to the point where i passed on the last hits. my friend explained how last time i felt like i forgot to breathe and i had an anxiety attack. the new guy said "you cant forget to breathe. its involuntary bodily function, like blinking your eyes, or heart beat. you can hold your breathe but the worst that would happen is you force yourself to pass out and then your body starts breathing again." i felt really cold again (as it is winter) and went inside to warm up a bit. the panic kept rising, and they wanted to go bowling. i dreaded going for a walk in the cold-tensing temperatures, and being in public while freaking out. but finally, i kicked myself in the ass and went bowling. while at the bowling alley waiting outside for them to finish their cigs, i felt like my gravity was off balanced. i realized it was just the angle of the parking lot compared to the angle of the flat road. we went in, bowled, and it was a lot of fun. i had perfect sense of balance and could keep my shots straight, but i still felt very high.yesterday, i went down to my friends house to hang out. there were some people there i hardly knew. we smoked the first bowl, and i experienced small breathing difficulties but held my grip. the next bowl brought them back, but i knew i was okay if they were okay. then the last bowl somehow set me off. the breathing problems began happening again, my left arm felt very cold, and when i stood up, i got SUPER lightheaded to where my vision whited-out for about 3 seconds. i threw my body on the living room couch and felt my temperature was burning, but my friend said it was fine. every time i took a breath in, my left lung generated an enormous pain. a bubbling sensation in my heart began happening. i was too stoned to realize what it really was, and thoughts to explain the occurrence began filling my mind. was it resin from the other day that might of had broken glass, ripping my lung open so i was bleeding? was it pneumonia from the cold weather after being in a warm humid climate, and then exposing my lungs to smoke? or maybe one of my ribs broke and punctured my lung? my friends mom took me home and i had my dads wife check my lungs out (she is a doctor) she said my lungs sounded fine, although my heart rate would get too fast when i took a breath in because of whatever chest pain i was experiencing. she gave me a pain killer (i hate them, i prefer weed) and i watched south park while eating food. the pain was bad, but i had no trouble breathing. then i remembered the time i had this before, while not stoned. i knew it was either acid reflux or trapped gas, and not realizing that while stoned allowed my paranoia to reach a very terrifying high. here i am, the next morning, not stoned since that last bowl yesterday and i still feel the right-lung chest pain when i breathe in, and have bubbling sensations. searching the internet for similar experiences, i found some people connected smoking weed to opening the esophagus to a point where stomach acids can travel up causing bad GERD. the guy who sold me the weed i thought had nut oil over it (back from a previous paragraph) told me the day he sold me it he quit smoking because he would get bad stomach pains and through up every time he tried it, and thats why he makes edibles instead. i am still trying to understand if this is an allergic reaction to smoke. if it was allergic, then why would it happen randomly on the third bowl i smoked yesterday? i am going to try smoking again later today or tomorrow, even with this chest pain, to see if it worsens, (although pot normally eases my pains) besides that, it is impossible for smoking pot to just shut off your lungs. you may feel like you arent breathing, or even scare yourself so bad where you forget to breath, or you feel as if your heart rate is too fast or slow, or you feel dizzy, but just focus on telling yourself "its just in my head. i control my head." anxiety can be VERY scary, especially if your stoned, but you need to control it, because if you dont, it wont get any better. dont run away from your fears, take charge of them.i have understood the reasons for my panic are most likely caused by:not directing my thoughts away from the negative feelingsusing Paxil half as much as i used toover-reading issues such as these that get stored in the back of my mind making me think it will happen, without even knowing im thinking of it.my ways to calm down from panic (was designed for tripping but works for stoned as well):play pink floyd (or your choice of relaxing music) especially Breathe if you seem to have difficulty breathing, and take a breath and exhale to the rhythm of the song.drink water to remind yourself your throat is openchange up the scenery. go outside, or into a different area.get into a discussion with your friends. talk about something besides how you're freaking outplay a game or watch a movie to distract your thoughtswhat not to do:lay down and try to sleep (your thoughts will just keep pouring out)think or talk about your panicgo to the hospital

This is happening to mii and its around the same time.. But when I play my cello in class it trips mii out so bad I feel like im loosing touch with my body, like its shutting down while my eyes are still open it scares the sh*t out of mii

I was having the same problems too, and felt like quitting smoking weed was the best thing for me at the time.I'd been smoking for a good 7-8 months before I started getting the feeling. I remember being in a group of a few friends smoking a few joints and about 10 minutes after I would get this really weird sensation in my stomach, crotch and legs. It felt like I had actually crapped myself.I kept having to go to the toilet every 30 minutes cause I was just so paranoid, but when I went to the bathroom, there was nothing there, so I kept trying to tell myself I was just tripping and it would stop once I sobered up.But it started getting to the point where I could be sober and I would STILL think I had crapped myself. I felt so embarrassed and ashamed. I would leave friends houses early cause I just felt so bad about myself.I've not been smoking weed for about 2 months now, and there are times where I still get that feeling. I've been diagnosed with depression, anxiety disorder and OCD.Smoking weed just amplifies and heightens your thoughts and feelings, so if you have a bad head space, I strongly suggest DON'T smoke weed.And remember, they're only thoughts. They can't hurt you, so don't be scared or fearful of them.

hi, i feel the same way nomatter wahat type weed it is but im just now feel like this after17yrs of smoking I THINK ITS WHAT THERE PUTTING IN THE WEED NOW TO TRY TO GET YOU HIGH...BUT IM ABOUT TO STOP CAUSE MY CHEST KEEP HURTING

Hey, ive had a lot of these symptoms, i actually found this trying to find out what was going on with me. Im 19 been smoking for 6 years. And never have had a problem with it. Today I with my friends smoking some blunts and suddenly i got an uncomfortable "Tingling sensation" through my face, head. and then whole body, Not really knowing which way is up an stuff. (This has happened before when i continue to smoke after im already high, but just disregarded it thinking i was just smoking a higher strand than i had been before) Then i got cold and my vision blurred out and so did my hearing. i could no longer see or hear. then i passed out and smacked my head. I had an intense dream, knowing i was dreaming and knowing i was lying on the ground. I was trying to come out of it but the dream it wouldn't stop. I woke up drenched in sweat with my friends telling me what happened and that i was also twitching or convulsing when it happened. I think i had a seizure. And i thought weed was supposed to help prevent seizures? I also take a really low dose of Depakote. I take it for conic migraines and anxiety. But its also an anti seizure medication for people with epilepsy. which i don't have, nor have i ever had seizures. Id really like to know if it is an allergic reaction. or a possible reaction with the meds. Just seems weird because weed normally helps with all of those things. Any ideas, comments? Appreciated.

i have almost the same exact reaction as you explained in the first situation. i use to smoke a lot like you did but about 2 years ago i was looking for a job so i quit smoking for a wile because i wanted to be able to piss clean just in case so the job hunt lasted for about 3 months and when i got my job i started smoking again and it felt a lot different, it kind of made me uncomfortable but i didn't think to much about it because i was smoking a lot since i started hanging out with my buddy's more. eventually it got a lot worse and now its to the point where when i smoke i get the same exact feeling as you did.. about 5 minutes after i smoke i get this overall really uncomfortable feeling and my lower body (mainly legs, thighs) start to feel weird and it feels like i dont have control of my bladder or bowels almost like im gonna piss my self or something. i usually freak out a little bit and go to the restroom to check and see if i pissed my self or anything and i never do. i also get a rushy feeling like i need to get up and get some fresh air kind of similar to a panic attack but not nearly as intense. so ive tired before i smoke and when i smoke to relax myself and not worry about the reactions ive been having but i still have the same feelings, feeling extremely uncomfortable, weird feeling in legs thinking im pissing myself, having rushes. i tried what you did which was smoking less quantity, different strains and it seems like every time i do smoke i end up having the same exact uncomfortable experience

Dude im bt to quit to do to the same thing an I was smokin for abt a year now an im disapointed

Yo call me cuz im struggling wit the same prob an I love weed wtf

yall probably had some laced sh*t like some cocaine or something. and probably just anxiety

Today I smoked for like my 15th time. The first 8 times were fine but now when ever I smoke my chest hurts soooo bad and I feel like someone has their hands wrapped around my throat I feel like I have to remember to breathe because if I don't remind myself I feel like I can't feel myself breathing. And drinking water does me no good I just feel like I have a hard time getting it down. Everything is shaky and I can't tell where nothing actually is. It feels like a dream but a bad one because I feel as though in seriously going to just stop breathing. It sucks because I want it to be how it was before. Any ideas of what could be going on?

I am 17 and i started smoking at 16, anyway i wasn't a consistant smoker, but i did smoke like 10x. Anyway yesterday I smoked a joint that a guy i knew rolled and i had bought some sour deisel from him that didn't bother me at all... as soon as I inhaled i started coughing horribly and I felt like I was choking. My throat was dry and had a huge lump in my throat. I then began to panic, my limbs were tingling and i got cold but i felt my face and i was sweating real bad. I remember I was breathing but i just couldn't get oxygen, my chest got very tight, and felt like it was caving in. All of a sudden my nerves went crazy, literally i was vibrating and twitching as if I was having a seizure. I literally thought I was going to die, i was fading in and out of consciousness. I heard sounds and saw blue and black spots and i was on the floor. I was fortunate to have been a little concious to call 911. My chest kept getting tighter and tighter and breathing was labored, i was sweating and twitching/shaking horribly and dizzy and losing consciousness. I ended up in the hospital for 5 hrs, and i still having quit shaking, was this just a really bad trip or could of it just have been an anxiety attack? I ain't gonna go near pot ever again. I literally saw death.

the symptoms described are similar to those of someone having a panic attack.. as you get older your body chemistry changes the way your brain reacts to the weed... honestly  just breathe through it and you will be fine... it passes, usually faster if you just breathe and dont fight it.. i just smoked one and my hands and feet are tingling.... ill be fine... after a while you just associate the feeling with the high and even though your adrenal glands are on overdrive it doesnt hurt you, might make the munchies worse later tho.... some people find this sensation unplesant and decide to quit toking... either way, your safe its just the fact that your brain is producing chemicals differently... it may go away and come back in 10 years... its normal.. seems to happen to about 50% of the people i know.. some people get almost paralyzed and see trails for up to 30 min, but.... its fine... just dont smoke chronically either. let the THC build up get out of your system    remember when you toke your not just smoking that joint, your reactivating THC thats built up in your blood stream over the last few weeks... i honestly reccommend a month smoke free every now and again, makes the habit cheaper too cuz you smoke less for a while after....

i had three separate accounts of freaking out. the first time, i started to feel cold as pain. i couldn't remember what cold normally felt like, but we were outside and i kept saying ouch because the cold hurt me, so we went to the 24 hour library to warm up. I ended up screaming in the bathroom trying to remember what "life" was. then i went back to my room and talked to myself until i fell asleep. that all lasted 24 hours. 

The second time, i thought the first time was a one time thing & that i'd be good from now on. So we smoked, then as we're walking home, i see someone i know and start having a delightful conversation. Mid-sentence my legs feel like they have a billion tons of pressure on them, so i scream. Then someone tries to walk me home, but i feel out of body, so i feel like im not controling my arms and legs as we're walking. this lasts 2 days.

The last time, which really made me want to stop smoking, was just CONSTANT horrible insanely impossible pressure in my ankles for FOUR DAYS. this was from 2 shot-guns. not even real hits. smh.

i smoked alot between all of these freak outs, and nothing out of the ordinary happened. i can only blame the type of weed, but since i cant just grow it myself, i'll never feel safe so i had to quit..
