[MEGA]Idiosyncratic/Unusual Responses to Cannabis

Was your sensation unpleasant/painful? If it wasn't, then what you're describing is quite similar to the feeling I've been experiencing
 
It's times like these I'm reminded of an old parable.

A man goes to a doctor and says, "Doctor, doctor! Please help me! I have this strange disease and it's really worrying." So the doctor asks about symptoms. The man replies, "well, when I slam my hand in my car door it really hurts, more than usual!" The doctor of course retorts "Don't do that then."

Don't smoke so much weed. That's all I can really say. The closest thing to this I have seen is cannabis-associated drops in blood pressure ("head rushes") which are mostly harmless unless you faint and hit your head.
 
Sounds like brain zaps to me, have a search to find more info. Strange if you're not using any other drugs though. We have a megathread for this kind of thing.
 
I think he is in the right thread considering its a reaction specific to cannabis. Why is eveyone so worried about which mega thread or thread in general to post in? For a website designed for drugs (free speech and the right to do what you want if it harms noone) I always see people saying that you shouldnt get off topic, or post in the wrong place. I like a good conversation, why restrict the natural flow of conversation. HA just went off topic there :) we all smoke and like to think in branched out/free flowing thought, so why not just let the good times roll.
 
^I moved it to this thread. Posting in the right thread keeps everything nice and tidy, and megathreads condense information for reference. You seem to have conflated drugs and personal liberties somehow, and have made the classic error of assuming that unfettered free speech is a good thing (should I be allowed to shout "FIRE!" in a crowded theatre?). In any case, yes, this is off topic, if you want to discuss it further feel free to send me a PM.
 
The sativa visuals of Cannabis. (specs/looking through old tv)

I am so interested in these I can't find anything on it anywhere, you know, the "sparkles" "specs" you get in the dark when your really high? more so on sativa strains such as master Kush? sometimes if very very high can get closed eyed visual type things, almost like, little characters spinning like a less not so complicated spinning (I have no idea how to spell so ill sound out) "collide o scope"?? does any one know anything on this topic?? anything and everything is appreciated

I am so interested because ever sense my last few acid trips,which i also smoked pot upon(I don't know if the LSD is related or is the pot) I have had those little specs for ever, I have them right now, it's almost become normality but in dark rooms it gets over powering and concerning, sometimes forcing me to sleep with the light on, also I get dizzy when closing eyes sometimes and eyes feel heavy in my head. I don't know what this is (specs are there when eyes are closed as well)

I have gone to the eye doctor for almost every test, nothing wrong they say, anyone have any information about this?

(I said in title "looking through old Television because that is sometimes what it looks like)
 
you know, I said I can't find it anywhere, so if you just wanna be a ignorant troll and arnt helping, please go elsewhere.

it is all good sir, i dont think youre guna get a valid response. prolly shulda refrained from asking this, shoulda known it wouldnt get anywhere.

im sorry, i cant help you.
 
It's called being high. Activation of the CB1 receptors causes you to trip out in ways that aren't exactly understood.

You're probably just noticing the random background noise in your brain. Either that or floaters in your eyes. Even in complete darkness and sobriety you will still see things, just because your brain not a perfect, ideal, 100% shielded computer. Feeling strange and heavy is also a common effect of cannabis usage.
 
Heya there,
Sounds to me like you're experiencing Visual Snow. It is thought to be one part of HPPD, but is also known to occur in those who have never taken recreational drugs. I have had the same thing for many months now. The exact mechanism or what causes it are unknown. It is always good to have eye examinations and perhaps a neurological evaluation to rule out anything serious, although it is extremely unlikely that either tests would find anything out of the ordinary.

My theory is that neurological pathways have been altered, or perhaps that it is something that was really always there that states of altered consciousness have made apparent to you.

Very little is known about it. I cannot tell you if it will subside or not. If you wish to find more information online, search using the term 'Visual Snow'. It's the most commonly accepted name for this baffling phenomenon.

Marijuana allergies: Reactions may be more common than thought

I wasn't sure which forum to post this in, but here it is anyway. May be of interest to someone :)


Marijuana allergies: Reactions may be more common than thought

From MD Consult

Marijuana hypersensitivity might be more common than previously thought, according to the results of a case series.

Though there are only a few case reports in the literature, “Marijuana allergy, I think, is fairly common,” said lead investigator Dr. Gordon Sussman, acting division director of clinical allergy and immunology at the University of Toronto. Even so, “It’s something physicians don’t really generally ask about. People should consider it in the diagnosis of rhinitis [and other allergic symptoms], and even in people that have asthma and anaphylaxis.”

The 17 patients who were included in the series reported that marijuana gave them runny noses or other problems; all ended up having positive marijuana skin prick test results, he reported at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. One patient in the series had an anaphylactic reaction after drinking marijuana tea.

That was the first patient in whom Dr. Sussman diagnosed a marijuana allergy. “I asked him in a detailed history what it could have been, and he actually had drunk marijuana tea. We knew at that point he had an IgE-mediated reaction to marijuana,” he said.

Curiosity piqued, and Dr. Sussman began asking allergy patients about marijuana use and reactions. A significant percentage reported symptoms from both contact and inhalation.

To confirm the diagnosis, he and his colleagues did skin-prick tests on the 17 patients between 21 and 58 years old, mostly men. They extracted buds or flowers in 5 mL of water for 15 minutes and pricked beneath drops placed on patients’ skin.

After 15 minutes, the 17 patients had wheals of 4-19 mm and surrounding flares. Fifteen presented with inhalation symptoms, including rhinitis and conjunctivitis, periorbital angioedema, wheezing, sinusitis, and throat swelling. Thirteen also reported hives from contact.

The anaphylaxis patient presented with anxiety, chest tightness, wheezing, GI cramping, and vomiting after drinking the tea.

“I don’t think it’s a contaminant; I’m pretty sure it’s an allergen in the marijuana they are reacting to,” Dr. Sussman said, adding that such reactions shouldn’t be a surprise because “marijuana is a weed, and weeds are generally known to be allergenic.”

Asking about marijuana use and past reactions should be a routine part of allergy work-ups, especially with expanding medical marijuana use. “People could actually be sensitized to marijuana and have a serious reaction. It’s important for people to recognize this,” Dr. Sussman said.

The researchers’ next step is to identify the actual allergens responsible for the reactions using a marijuana extract from a U.S. federal laboratory, serum from positive patients, and Western blot assays.

There was no outside funding for the study. Dr. Sussman said he had no disclosures.

Thats mental, millions of people could have be having mild allerigc reactions to this plant without realising!

I've thought about this subject before, after spilling most of an 8th on my legs and having a few hives pop up...
 
this information really isnt good for anybody. i think what reading something like this promotes is just to be cautious when you ingest the plant... its possible and things have gone wrong from experimenting with the drug, and there can be negative reactions/effects resulting from it.
 
Can't say I find this information too surprising. I think it might dispel the illusion for those people that believe marijuana is the be-all end-all safest drug imaginable. Some people are bound to be allergic to it. While none of the negative reactions described in the study are very serious (pretty much basic allergy symptoms that could probably be counteracted by an OTC antihistamine), it does seem likely that it could produce a full-on anaphylaxis for certain individuals. Just because there haven't been any confirmed reports of such an attack doesn't mean it isn't possible.
