Moderate Drug User hits a bong of weed, 5 minutes later had a seizure(?!) - advice?
Hello Bluelight! Long time lurker here, used BlueLight to handle a variety of questions in my experimentation in the past.
I had an exceptionally strange seizure-type event last night that I felt compelled to make an account and post it here, and would welcome any relevant feedback. I have spread 50 or so drug experiences out over the last 3 years, nothing really crazy - for a few weeks was using DMT on a twice-weekly basis, and took 2c-e on 3 occasions. Smoked weed heavily for two years, in the last year or so smoked around a cut a month.
Last night, I was hanging out at a friends place, all having a good time, drinking some vodka / fruit juice drinks, listening to good music. The host offered me a bong (trusted person and weed from a trusted source), and I took one big rip. I hadn't smoked for at least 4-5 days before that, so I got pretty stoned on that one giant bong rip. I turned down the second, because I didnt want to be too stoned to interact with the large group of people that was there.
About 5 minutes after taking this rip, I noticed that my ears had started really hurting. I have some mild hearing damage from being a nightlife photographer, and wear earplugs to prevent further damage when I go to events now, so it wasn't entirely unexpected. I go into the bathroom, and realize that I was feeling really weird. It reminded me of an occurrence where I once smoked what I thought was weed, but was actually laced with some other substance which caused a very speedy, 4+ hour high (potentially meth? or "dipped" weed). The pain in my ears was getting worse, and I was wondering if perhaps I had punctured my eardrum or something like that. I believe I was sitting on the bathtub, when suddenly my vision started to go dark around the edges, rather quickly. I was compelled, on some basic survival instinct level, to try to get out of the bathroom, because I was concerned if I passed out in there that no one would find me until it was too late. I moved towards the door, but my vision dropped totally out as I was reaching around to try to find the handle to the bathroom door. I was left leaning against the door, and I remember hearing my own body smacking against the door as my arms and legs moved on their own accord, making small jerks. I managed to stay leaned against the door for this to avoid falling over.
I was like this for what I would guess to be 5-10 seconds, before my vision cleared enough for me to open the door handle (This I do not remember), and stumble into the hallway
(do not remember). I was able to walk, but was aware that my legs were not moving like they normally did, as I announced to the other 5 people in the room that I thought I was having a seizure(I remember this and everything to follow). They gave me a glass of water, and told me that I looked extremely pail. I sat on the couch and recovered - it clearly peaked and then cleared up after. I watched a movie there while they went to the nearby Big Gigantic show, and about 3 hours later, drove 3 hours to my apartment without trouble.
So, wisdom of the internets, have you ever heard of this type of experience? A potential cause of this would be about 3 months ago, I took 3 hits of what I thought to be LSD - around peak, and less than 5 minutes after smoking a bowl of weed, I developed a searing pain on the right side of my head, felt like it was in my brain itself. i assumed that I was given some badly-made RC and simply took a month off. I have had some very, very mild headaches that were almost not noticeable in that area on my head, but just assumed that they were related to the hearing damage. I guess in retrospect, that it might have caused some sort of permanent brain damage that results in this when in these altered states?
I have 7 hits of this substance remaining, could I send them somewhere to get the chemical contents tested? Many thanks in advance for your advice!
