Just 2 days ago i was having a few drinks with the family and when everyone decided to go to sleep, me and my friends decided to smoke weed since we had already sort of sobered up from the alcohol. After a few hits everyone went in and of course started to talk a lot and have their own trips. Im not a "hard core" smoker, i've smoke a few times here and there but never heavily. So since i was tripping more than i was used to i decided i had taken one too many hits.

After about 30 mins into it, my whole body started to feel weird. My heart started beating faster than ever and i literally felt as if i was going to pass out and die. My whole body started to twitch and was completely uncontrollable. The twitching not only was of my hands or legs but started in my stomach and made my whole body bend over every 5 seconds or so. This lasted about 10 minutes but i am still numb and i feel random jerks occurring on my body throughout the day. Someone please explain to me if this is normal or if not so i can get my ass to the hospital. Thanks.

    It isn't a serious thing. It's just a kind of paranoia obviously. To stop it you have to drink a cup of sweet tea. It happened because you focused on your body. Yes, weed may increase your heart beat ratio a bit, but if you focus on it you feel being afraid. As a result, your fear feeling increases your heart beat further more. Don't be afraid, weed overdose is almost impossible

    Everytime someone has a panic attack someone ends up thinking it's laced with something. Jesus. It wasn't laced.

    This is happening to me right now exactly. In the first 15 minutes it was ok and felt cool, then I layed in bed (because its 4am) my whole body it twitching the same from my head to feet. I came to see if I was dying or something because I haven't smoked weed in like 5 years. I emptied a whole cigaette and filled it with weed and smoked the whole thing. but glad I'm not dying and this happens other ppl. I'm from toronto (I was reading the other comments ) I think this is "really gOod weed"

    well duh! its weed of course its going to have side effects. you don't think after drinking AND smoking that stuff you would feel/look fine. you better watch you don't get addicted. no one likes a scrawny, yellow skined, gaunt, yellow toothed person. sorry but its true. im not saying quit but just don't ask silly questions if you are taking substances that are illegal for a reason. keep it for spesh occasions, not regular use

    I don't know if it is life-threatening or not, but it seems so at the time. Have had the exact reaction.

    I've learned it's more enjoyable for me to abstain, yet enjoy the crowd. People who tolerate it are hilarious! I was always the one the ruined it for everyone, especially after a night of drinking....made the effects worse.

    Just stay away from it. I'm in recovery for drugs....3 years. So, I know where you're at.

    You just smoked too much. If you don't smoke a lot like on a daily basis. Dnt take so many rips. Dnt give your body more than you can handle. It's a waste of weed if you smoke and don't enjoy it.

    I'm a very regular toker, have been for years, and I've NEVER experienced anything like that before. I just asked all my friends who are lifers and they've NEVER had that happen, nor did they know of anyone either. I'm from BC, Canada and we have fantastic bud - maybe the stuff you smoked was crap or laced.

    How am I suppose to believe all the crack heads who say weed is good for you when I'm always hearing about people with their messed up side effects?
