Background... I was taking 25mg of dextroamphetamine daily for ADD.

My dose was at about 7am, and usually can still be felt untill about 6pm.

T+0:00 Im on my way to eat with a few friends at a restaurant in another town. My and my friend were getting a ride from a couple people he knew. They began smoking some weed as we traveled down the highway. I was offered some and I accepted, It had been many months since my love affair with cannabis had ended. We began smoking, I was in a good mood. A bit anxious since I hadn't smoked in so long.

T+0:10 Its been about 10 minutes, and by this time, I've taken about 5-8 hits. I was feeling relaxed, happy to be having a good time. I wasn't aware of how high I really was because we were in a dark car, just driving. I feel lose.. I have a feeling that some strangely unconfertable giggles are coming on.

T+0:20 We arrive at my friends house. I get out and run up to the door, my body intoxication level was about equal to that of knocking back about 3 shots of vodka. I get inside and the lights are incredibly bright. I cant keep my eyes open, im giggling incoherently about nothing and am not formulating sentences that make much sense. I find my way back to the car and we ride to a gas station.

T+0:30 Were at the gas station, I should have known I've smoked plenty and stopped. But i was having a good time and thought that if I smoked more it would just last longer. WRONG. They clean a new bud and fill me a bowl. I smoke the whole bowl in about 5 good tokes. We arrive at the restaurant. They drop the 3 of us off. At this time a wasn't feeling the effects of the weed I had just finished.

T+0:35 We get into the restaurant, I try to act normal, but my movements are sloppy, I know I've smoked too much. We take our seats.. The waiter asks what we want to drink and Im too intoxicated to understand. I mumble something about mellow yellow and my friends are staring at me. My heart rate has to be a solid 145-150 at this point. Anxiety sweeps over me, and within a few moments turns into a full blown panic attack. I begin beggining for an ambulance, because in my mind I was 100% convinced this is the end of me and I am now crazy forever and no one can help me. Im doomed to hell forever because of my pathetic life.

T+1:00 Im sobbing and figiting, i keep touching myself and everything has taken on a almost soft texturized look. Edges of objects look sharp almost like razors, yet everything else looks almost air brushed and soft. I cant control this sense of doom. Im pleeding with my friend to get my help. Everyone is looking at me in the restaurant. I cant understand why this is happening to me. I close my eyes to escape from things. I feel like my mind is outside of my head directly behind it, like in a 3rd person video game. I open my eyes and I feel sucked into my body. My friend is laughing at me, as I plead for help. He keeps saying in a raised voice "no one cares you smoked weed!" Everyone is staring at me. Everytime I try to look at something else its like im seeing a slide show. My heart is pounding out of my chest. It has to be at least 180bpm. Our waiter come over and asks us what we would like to order. When its my turn I give him a blank stare, and quickly fumble through my menu, then exclaim "Oh, uhh, me uhh I don't know, Im not hungry, nothing for me." Which probably sounded more like " uhh meh oh uhh im uhh no nothing not hungry no." My friends are talking to me, I can't understand them. Im crying like a little school girl. I am honestly, terrified beyond belief.

T+2:00 Im not sure if time has sped up or if I blacked out. We've been here in this restaurant for over 2 hours according to my friends. It seems more like 45 minutes. I remeber grabbing my friend's arm, and squeezing it so hard that I left bruses because they wouldn't listen to me and get me an ambulance. I cant remember much else untill we leave. We leave a tip, get up and walk up to the front to pay the bill. Was stumbling around and must have looked soo drunk. My friend said something that seemed like it was in another language and walked back to get the money we left as a tip, I tried to follow but almost fell over and everyone was staring at me.

T+3:00 We're walking around outside, The anxiety is fading since im away from the crowded restaurant. We walk for many blocks in the cold and I can't remember anything about what happend, untill I find myself in a movie store. I was with my friends and was still very high and confused and paranoid.

I don't feel like typing anymore, but to make it short, It took about 5 more hours before I hit baseline. Withdrawing from dextroamphetamine and then using a mega dose of cannabis was a big mistake that I will remember for the rest of my life.

Damn, that was a good description of a cannabis-induced panic attack. I've had a couple of these myself...the worst being when I was also coming off of dextro- and methampetamine. I hadn't smoked for about 6 weeks and then smoked a few grams of high-grade with some friends. I freaked the fuck out and thought I had lost my mind. I seriously thought I had snapped.
 
That really sounds terrifying.

Cannabis is a weird one . . I love it to bits but at the same time I always get some level of anxiety everytime I smoke and I think to myself, why do I love this stuff it fucks with my head.

On top of that I get antisocial . . but still always go back to the bong!
 
I take d-amphetamine daily as well and smoke pot with it. It takes the edge off for me and i get some pretty cool visuals. last night i added coke+crack to the picture and was watching an inanimate design (my screensaver) come to life and move in very distinctive patterns....at times i would hear music and other random sounds that couldn't possibly have been real....i felt calm most of the time, knowing full well i was tripping....this went on for 4 hours till i came down from everything...today i could've sworn i kept hearing my friend talking about cocaine on the phone, but i knew i was delusional and just tried to block out the hallucinations with music and work...i guess i handle feeling insane pretty well. acid agrees with me more than any other drug...but stimulants make me psychotic at times.
 
^when youre taking amps daily and do already have psychotic symptoms, i`d advise you to stop taking them NOW. this wont work well for long.
 
Sounds like your 'friends' are not really the people you want to associate with if they would not even leave the restaurant when you were literally crying and losing your head. Trust me, these are not the people you want to participate in high risk activities with, namely drug use. My advice is to look for a new crew to hang with because these cats do not give a shit about anyone but themselves.

PS I would have laughed at you, but at least had the compassion to take you outside to calm down.
 
i don't consider the OP's experience amphetamine psychosis....what you describe sounds more like getting really high after a long break and having the amphetamine in your system probably gave you a freak out cause you were head tripping and not thinking clearly.. amphetamine will make you think clearly and logically, as you know...so obviously the cannabis was overpowering that at this point..you don't sound psychotic or anything.. just like you were tripping off the weed and had more energy than usual from the speed...your heart rate was faster with both drugs in you, and you thought something must be wrong cause you were high. :\ being high for 3 hours isn't unusual either, if you have low tolerance.

it sounds like you were just trying too hard to control the situation. i consider cannabis a psychedelic because it definitely is for me....and with psychs you have to learn to calm yourself down when you're tripping. it's all in your head. take deep breaths, meditate...it's all temporary.

peace
