So the other night i smoked weed with a few of my friends in his basement. I used to smoke weed a lot more often but i hadnt for a couple months. After the second bowl, I started to feel like you do when you stand up to fast. My vision started fading and it got worse and worse and worse until i could literally see nothing. Once my friends figured out i wasnt faking they walked me over to a couch, bumping into everything on the way. I sat there for about a minute and finally vision started returning.

It was weird because i was pretty mentally in it the entire time, i was just completely blind. It didnt happen to anyone else. Apparently i turned crazy pale as if there was literaly no blood anywhere above my neck. My friend even said my eyes looked bloodless whatever tha means.

Any thoughts?
Do you think it's normal?

its probly something happening with ur brain
totally gay, I'm sorry to say. Personally, I never touch the stuff, but if you're going to do something, then make sure you can handle it and if you can't then don't bloody do it.
i can handle weed. I used to smoke just about every day. I NEVER had anything like this happen before. I rarely even got that high. This was different.
I think you should lay off the shit before it kills you. Did you know every time you smoke a joint it is the equivalent of smoking a pack of cigarettes? Your lungs are probably hammered.
im just gonna go ahead and say thats entirely false
lick my vajinna
You did not actually go blind. What happened your brain received a big burst of THC and not enough oxygen. If you didnt pass out you were close to it. This happens maybe once or twice in your life I wouldnt worry about it. If it starts happening more frequently then youll have to stop smoking weed sorry
bullschibism.

something of the sort happened to me.

but I was in the Lion King.
Well, I've never done it before so i don't know, so in order to not make this post of mine completely worthless, my only advice to you is this: If you're going to continue doing it, by all means. No one can stop you and it is your own choice. But anyways, if something like that keeps on continuing, my guess would be to see a doctor or stop doing it. Because I would imagine, doing stuff like that and if you keep experiencing this so-called blindness...it is definitely not healthy for your body so you should then probably stop.
someone cant handle it and needs to stop u wannabe g
One time I was having an interview to work at as a assistant for a hotel manager and I had smoked weed the previously the night before. While in the interview a bunch of smoke poured out of my mouth and I coughed a little. If she wasn't looking right directly at me at that moment she probably wouldn't have figured it out, but yeah that was really embarressing. About the whole going blind thing I think it's possible. I've went blind for about two minutes when I stood up too fast. It probably has something to do with lack of oxygen to the brain.
The same thing happens to me if i smoke and i don't eat..i get lightheaded and cannot see. i've passed out before and i've thrown up. sorry for being explicit. My friends whole family smoked and i had an episode where i got sick,
and her aunt told me im probably hypoglycemic.
make sure you eat before you smoke.
Im sitting here laughing at gizzie56's comment...You are a mindless idiot if you beleive the bull shit the government tells you.
Yes, smoking weed isnt good for your lungs but hey, is any smoke? Its good for your soul!
Sounds like some good shit, where can I get me some of that?
ThankYou for reminding me :)
@: dweevle
Yeah well when your in the hospital dying of lung cancer you wont be laughing so hard will you?
Dude, smoking the stuff once made me fit out on the floor when i got up too quickly. Eather that or the fact i hadn't eaten in 2 days and I had sun stoke. Every one thought i was taking the p*ss but I loved it. I've been smoking like it ever since to see if it happends again.
Uhm, maybe you should stop smoking it?
atleast for a little while, or look it up on Google.
thats just sounds like some sweet ass weed
or u just had a bad reaction to it.
i smoke one time and my left hand went numb for about 10 minutes
and one time m ear went really blue like it was bruised.
its just da weed i think
there is some fukd up shit out there these days
its not like it used to be
take it easy man.
hahahahahahahaha ahaha ahaha that was fucking hilarious, and i agree completely.
obviously its because YOU HAVE ANAL SPIDERS.
I went blind for a few minutes once from jacking my johnson to much. Never happened smoking the herbs though.
thats awesome. the same thing happened to me u must of been smoking some good shit
summat like this happend to me,i was at my m8's house well n truly skull-fucked and all of a sudden i saw like a lil ball come flying at me then it felt like my eye had exploded and couldnt open it for bout a minute,i thought my friend had chucked summat at me at first. When i looked in a mirror my eye was completly red, i looked like da devil's child man haha
Actually suppose its not like your story lmao
btw smoking a joint isn't the equivalent of having a pack of fags lol
@: dweevle
i disagree with both points of view. its not good for you at ALL. however, its f****n hella fun!

ive had really weird experiences with smoking pot too. once my face turned red and i started shaking, and another time i swear to god i was the only person that smoked the shit to trip such terrifying balls.
breathe
im gonna agree with you
you just whitey'd. jeez kids these days dont know anything lol ;)
Man the same thing happened to me not long ago. I was pretty freaked out while it was happening (and I was alone).. being high as fuck and all. However, now that I think back about it I believe what probably happened was that I was lacking oxygen. Smoking bowls back to back and holding that smoke in is definitely going to deprive you of oxygen. Not only that but the air you get has a lot of smoke and other shit in it. Your friends saying you were pale seem to confirm that theory, little oxygen binding to hemoglobin giving you the appearance of being pale.

I ended up just sitting down and chilling out, when I opened my eyes at first it was really dim but it cleared up pretty fast.

Yeah, I can't imagine that its good for you. If you are losing vision you probably are having some blood loss in your brain and that could really fuck you up. I'd suggest making sure you are breathing more oxygen between hits and if it happens go lie down for a bit.
It has to do with not getting any blood to the blood vessels that connect to your eyes. It is a blood sugar thing. I don't know the medical reasons related to it, I just know because it is what my body does. It happens to me when I stand up (too fast). I walk around bumping into shit. It is kinda fun except when I feel like I am going to pass out/throw up. Someone else said it, make sure you eat something before you smoke and it should be a good amount of protien.
That's pretty much the exact message I was going to write! Are you british by any chance? Just coz I know that americans use different words for a lot of things, I'm not trying to imply that you would have to be british to know this! I just read that. Grass doesn't make you become slightly paranoid and over-think every little thing...honest...
Weed makes you feel relaxed but thats just an illusion. Try not smoking because your health is at risk.
I've had this happen to me twice, and it was always after I smoked weed with the same guy. Whatever he was smoking I think did it, so it's not you, it's the kind of weed you smoked. Mine was half decent regs, I never smoke regs anymore and ever since I haven't had that happen.
OMG!! That happened to me TODAY!!! The first time i smoked weed was on monday and i really didn't feel anything just dizzy and sleppy. So i wanted to try it the second time so i got a blunt and a joint. I went home and i smoked a little more than half of the blunt and then i went to my room getting ready to take a shower and all of the sudden i felt really dizzy and i went blind! I couldn't see anything and i totally freaked out cause i was alone. so i made my way to the my bed just touching aound and i laid down then it went away and i could see again!! But everything looked really weird! It was awesome! And im not really sure why this happened. But now I'm scared to smoke my joint! haha
That happened to me once also but I was not smoking weed I was stroking my johnson.
@: cpg123
THAT HAPPEND TO ME YESTERDAY! i was fine in the head jsut my body was going crazy i got all pale. i think its blood loss to the head cuz the same shit happend to me when i donated blood and i passed out idk but im not smokeing weed anymore
this happend to me befor off one hit! so i dont think its oxegen loss due to breathing.....it was REALLY good shit
It's not false. 1st time i hit a bong I was rushed so much that my vision went. Not like a blind mans vision would be gone, but so blurry that seeing is hard.
Okay so I've smoked weed a fair few times, I started in september and on average once a week since then. But just recently I've started having this happen to me too! It's happened 5 times now the last one just yesterday. It only lasts less than a minute though and I just feel really weak and I start to fall over. Sitting down makes it stop but is there any way to make it stop happening altogether?
@: Bohjum
uh, besides not smoking weed. lol
Hey I would like to add that Exactly the same thing happened to me... couldn't see I was very scared oO it was my first time and I did it with my friends, also I couldn't feel my tongue or right arm.
once i fainted and i couldn't see, even though my eyes were open, i have no idea what caused it, i felt like my legs were like jelly, then i couldn't feel my legs at all, i started to lose my vision, fell over then it took a few seconds and i could see again
Yeah... you have to be pretty stupid to keep doing something that makes you go blind. Either you're smoking some bad sh*t or your body has a bad reaction to the regular stuff. Go get drunk or whack off instead!
Do your research before you start pulling random facts out of your as$. Marijuana may be worse for you per oz. than tobacco. but have you ever heard of anyone smoking 25 cigarette size joints in one day?....didnt think so. Also have to factor in vaporizers and bongs that filter out the bad stuff. Youll be the one lying in a hospital dying of skin cancer from being outside too much before i die from lung cancer because of pot.
Ok well i've gotten a fair amount of comments so i figure i'll give a brief follow-up:

I have smoked pleeeeeeeenty of pot since this, basically daily in the summer, and it has had no effect on me other than getting me really high. No more blindness. And I don't have lung cancer or aids either.
IT HAPPENED TO ME, TOO.

I have to smoke MASS amounts of weed in one sitting, but it's happened to me three times so far. I've heard a few mentionings over the internet about it being linked to a quick, low drop in blood pressure, but I'm not sure how valid that is.

My vision gets sparkling bright, like a white-yellow. I squint. I can only make out sillouhettes of things. I can hear voices fine, and I'm mentally there, but I hear a fuzzing in my ears. I start sweating something fierce, also. I'm not sure if I get pale or not, I'm olive complected so nobody has said anything. But I know I was clammy. It lasts around 5-7 minutes for me.
same happen to me but i saw green so i just dont hit as hard
I've had it where I saw a big bright tunnel blinding the middle of my field of vision and a ton of twinkles radiating from everything, as well as pinkish noise everywhere, but I've never actually gone blind from weed. During a heavy stoning session I sometimes have trouble opening my eyes, but I don't go blind.
