Fuck me, I had one of the worst drug experiences of my life this past week. I was on a beach in a sunny place (FINALLY) and decided the only thing missing was a stogie so I bought a large cuban. My friend and I were standing in the water talking to this other couple for what seemed like 30-35 minutes. During that time I mindlessly smoked (didn't inhale into my lungs) the entire cigar. The convo was really enjoyable but suddenly I felt very dizzy and nauseous. I didn't want to puke in front of the whole world so I asked my friend to come with me to the washroom, where I hugged the toilet and puked my guts out for 10 mins.
By the time I left the bathroom, I could barely walk and everything felt urgent and dangerous. I remember trying to lather my hands with soap at the sink and the ataxia was really difficult. We got back to our beach chairs where I puked a lot once more and then just laid there, so physically weak I could barely move an inch and my breathing got very laboured. I also had intense snow in my vision but it wasn't pleasant. My friend didn't seem to fully understand that I had partial paralysis. My insides were also shaking. I assumed somehow I got nicotine poisoning and got my friend to google it, and I had every symptom, including fucking convulsions.
If it WEREN'T for the fact that nicotine has a half life of 1-2 hours, I would have called 911, it was that bad. It wasn't just a bad trip or something, I was poisoned. I just laid there in the only position that felt sort of comfortable and meditated on my breathing, which I had to consciously maintain because my body wasn't doing it for me. Eventually I could hold down some water, then some sugary soda, and the fog started to clear. It felt like it took an eternity, it took about 3.5 hours before I could leave the beach and go home.
It took me TWO DAYS to recover! By that night I was able to function again but I had zero appetite for about 48 hours. Eating felt so disgusting but I force fed myself because I could also feel my caloric deficit.
Fucking hell. I had no goddamn idea that a cigar could do this to a person. I was totally ignorant. You learn something new every day! Don't fuck with your acetylcholine receptors, it's NOT fun. The only thing I can compare this to is a really bad 2-CI experience I had at a festival one year.
