Alright, im not a regular smoker, i only smoke when im with my boyfriend and his friends. we normal smoke a joint or a blunt, rarely a bong. but this one night we smoked out of this weird looking bong. i don't know wat happened but after i hit it, my head started spinning, i was coughing and shaking non stop, and i felt like i was gonna throw up, which i finally did like 4 times. my body was out of control, my heart was racing SUPER fast i thought it was gonna explode. i really thought i was gonna die, i had no control over my body. it was the worst feeling ever. idk why my body reacted like that. i mean i couldn't even talk, breathing was hard for me too. and my mouth was so dry it felt like my throat was burning. that was the last time im ever gonna think about drugs. Does anyone know why this happens? has this ever happened to anyone?

Night he's doing a show in a small town in Arkansas
.
With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through
His usual dumb blonde jokes when a blonde woman in
the
Fourth row stands on her chair and starts shouting:
"I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What
Makes you think you can stereotype women that way?
What does the color of a person's hair have to do
with
Her worth as a human being? It's guys like you who
Keep women like me from being respected at work and
in
The community and from reaching our full potential
as
A person because you and your kind continue to
Perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes,
But women in general and all in the name of humor!"
The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize,
and
The blonde yells, "You stay out of this, mister! I'm
Talking to that little smart ass on your knee!"
Really big hits (ie, from a bong, especially for the first time) can cause the same symptoms as a panic attack. It's all pretty well known so I have no idea why no one's said anything. It's not that common because you really need to just blast your boundries, but it does happen. All your symptoms fit. Next time you smoke take it a bit slower, pass around a joint or something, not a bong, or if a bong take it slow and don't try to smoke it all at once, because the hits are going to be a lot more potent that anything you're used to.
I literally thought I was dying, I puked for an hour straight, and it was the worst experience of my entire life. I will never touch drugs again, I don't know why this happened to me but it was a nightmare. I never want to experience this again.
If he can guarantee that it wasn't laced (angel dust is common, aka PCP. powerful and extremely dangerous hallucinogen) then he might want to consider a psychological screening just in case.
What you described here is a classic case of a psychotic break. I've only witnessed something like this once, my boyfriend after we took mushrooms that were much stronger than we expected. He broke his toe tripping and falling, which made the freakout so much worse. :/ He got all bruised up and broke a bunch of shit and afterwards said he was going through a rebirth. Mushrooms scare the fuck outta me after that.
But for this to happen with someone who had been smoking heavily for a long period of time to lose it, just like that with a hit, suggests that there is something else at play. Cannabis has not been proven to cause mental illness but rather trigger the onset of mental illness in individuals with a predisposition to certain problems. (Anxiety, Schizophrenia, and Psychotic disorders for major examples)
I am a proponent of medicinal cannabis, thus I cannot say that it's a bad thing. However with any substance that inherently alters your state of mind, some people just can't handle it. There have been stoners who go their whole lives smoking and are perfectly normal, high functioning and intelligent individuals. There are people who lose their minds on all kinds of drugs, some permanently.
Approach experimentation with caution, because you're never quite sure how you will react until you try. (Which is my other biggest argument for decriminilzation... people will do them either way. Regulating them takes away impurities, and saves lives.)

You will get dizzy, pass out, loose 100%% voluntary motor control, vomit, can't talk, nothing.
You can still use your eyes to see, but only if someone lifts your eyelids open.
There is really two likely possibilities, without excluding other options:
1. The weed was laced with something else.
2. You failed to eat food/drink enough water BEFORE consuming alcohol FOLLOWED by smoking the weed (in this case the weed doesn't have to be laced)
You can end up in a coma in these situations.
It's happened to me and i've heard it happen to others.
Always make sure you're well hydrated and have eaten food before drinking vast amounts of alcohol and smoking weed.
Hope this helps.
than a few months, but I do often, almost everyday.
a few nights ago I had the worst high of my life, I thought I was going to die! I had been smoking over the course of a few hours already and had a glass
of wine. i was completely fine and
chilled out it was nice. but then my friend packed the bong again. I know my limit and I was pretty much at that point where you feel like you shouldn't smoke anymore but I took a bong rip of her shake anyway. it was just shake!
20 minutes later I was hit with an intense dizziness I thought I was going to pass out. I started incontroably shaking and couldn't stop my body. my heart was beating so fast, I felt cold and extremely nauseous but didn't throw up thankfully. I was sitting on the floor shaking wishing I wasn't high anymore. it started fading off after about two hours. let me tell you I was probably dehydrated and I hadn't eaten for hours which is probably why it was so intense and i was already at my limit. if this happens to you drink lots of water and eat, I think that's what helped me. I have panic attacks and anxiety and a heart condition, PVC, smoking usually helps all of these things for me. just know your limit and drink water.
avoid the bong if you have anxiety, it's really intense and makes you super high and paranoid and then you think you're having a panic attack. stick to jays or pipes.
Also, make sure you're 100% comfortable where you are, not with strangers. this easily sets off panic too. good luck!
hahaha good shit like the story
thanks

But who knows- maybe it was just mixed with something bad- or perhaps you were drinking alot at the same time? that can make you sick too.
I've had mild-severe panic attacks while sober and under the influence, but I also have anxiety disorder issues/frequent panic attacks.
A panic attack after smoking is usually described as tweaking out and many people experience this at some point.
Luckily for me I've been dealing with panic attacks for a long time so I can identify one and deal with symptoms, many of which you've described. (never vomiting though, however I've fainted while sober)
As long as you just collect yourself and identify your panic attacks you can deal with them.
Dig?
The only explanation I can think of, is that it was laced with something.......
Yet I feelcdrawn back to the experience. Strange.
Sorry about the typing. Stupid phone.
