I think i might have cannabis induced psychosis. I smoked for the first time at age 16. (possibly 15 I cant exactly remember) and it didn't really have any effect on me. at first, I would get a body buzz, and my whole body would feel like it was vibrating and the sensation amused me. I also would get very giggly. After a while I stopped having the body buzz, and would only get giggly. I also knew, or i guess was aware that i was intoxicated, that things where all a little different than they normally would be. I eventually decided to quit smoking marijuana because the effect became boring, and it felt like I was putting my brain through stress for no reason at all. so i sold all my stuff, and quit. after a while of being completely clean, I ran into one of my old smoking buddies at the mall, who i hadn't seen in a while. naturally, she wanted to smoke. social anxiety got the better of me that day, and i agreed to smoke some pot with her, not knowing how to say no. this was probably one of the biggest mistakes i will have ever made. immediately after smoking from the bong, (and i didn't even finish it) I became violently light headed, and lied down on the ground. what happened next was the most terrifying experience I've ever had. I don't know when it started because it was immediately intense, and horrible. I felt like i was apart from myself, unable to control what was happening. I felt like i was experiencing every possible emotion all at once, yet some how not at the same time. I felt like I had entered a new reality, and that was how it was going to be from that point forward. I thought "this is all I'll ever know." it was terrible, and yet i was convincing myself that it COULDNT be terrible. it couldnt be anything. i couldnt think one thing long enough to develop an actual opinion. however, i WAS having conscious thoughts on top of all of this, and they where telling me i was overdosing, I was dying. I thought of all the things i would never get to do and it was awful. i was screaming, and crying, and making unusual noises. eventually it passed, and i was able to control myself, though i was still really high. my friend was gone, I'd scared her away. I got up and went into the mall, and i walked to the other end, it felt like i was walking in place, the mall was never ending and i was literally unable to leave. eventually tho i did leave, an i believe i walked to timmies, but it could have been another store, and i asked to used the phone. I attempted to call my mom but kept dialing the same wrong number over and over convinced that was the number. someone from the store ended up driving me home. It was a long time before i was brave enough to smoke again, and when i did, nothing happened. but the time after that, the exact same thing happened, and so i knew that i hadn't been drugged the first time, and probably wasn't overdosing. the experience is difficult to explain or put into words but it the most terrifying thing I've ever experienced. i thought i was dying. i thought i was dead. the time after that was the last. i developed an actual fear of marijuana which i still have. the last time tho, was different. i could feel myself starting to enter that mind set i guess or rather i felt the phenomena about to happen and i fought it off. I literally pushed it away and it was HARD. i told my friends to keep me calm because i realized it was harder to fight off if i wasn't completely calm. I repeated my boyfriends name over and over and looked at his picture because that was the only thing that kept me calm and also because focusing on one specific thing made it easier to STAY calm. I haven't done it since. i am terrified to experience that again its horribly. horrifying. I cant find anywhere somebody describing something similar, and i really don't know what caused it. It cant very well be the weed tho, because if it was I think it would happen every single time which it doesn't. anyway that's my weed story. does anyone know what this might be?? Cause i am still terrified even thinking about it. I'm terrified. -Miah
