Anyone ever freak out on weed?

[TheMagicTriangle]

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to name the substance but fuck man this shit is the strongest out.
I saw this vid of this fat kid dislocate his arm and it was the most horrible thing ever. It felt like I was there with him and that his scream replayed over and over in my head Not to look like a pussy or anything I was so fucked I even cried and for 10 minutes I was convinced that my arm was going to dislocate :S
But apart from that the high was great!

What are your stories if you have any?

I know people call weed a "light drug" But really if in large doses it can seriously fuck you up man

peace

 

[drug_mentor]

Nope, never freaked out and I have smoked some pretty large doses of some pretty damn good weed many times. A lot of people are prone to freaking out though.

I've had panic attacks on it before, its one of the more anxiogenic drugs I've had, although I'm prone to it I reckon.

I smoked some weed, then rode in someone else's car. I started thinking about all the money I spend on weed, and how I'm wasting my life, and how some friends are taking advantage of my generousity, and I got super pissed, took off my favorite gloves (it was winter) and ripped them to shreds and threw them out the window. then I took out my cell-phone and started typing all these notes to myself, analyzing random decisions i was making and writing down what I did, why I Did it, and what I need to do to make a stronger decision next time.

I've had a lot of other freak outs. I try to forget them, but maybe I'll see if I can unbury a few more.

No dude, it's weed ffs. You don't freak out on weed unless your a total dumbass and think 'OMG IM GONNA DIE'

Ya so my friends and I smoked a lot of weed and used to sneak out at night all the time and do stupid shit. That was until I got caught smoking weed for the first time. I stopped smoking for about 2-3 months because my parents threatened to drug test me! HA! So the first time back smoking was when I snuck out with my friends and drove downtown with my friend who didnt even have his licence yet. Needless to say I was really paranoid and thats the first time I felt really really uncomfortable with weed.

That was about 3 years ago, nothin similar has happened since, just good times

This has happened to me several times.

Set and setting applies to marijuana just as it does with stronger psychedelics, especially if your an anxious person.

I'm on medication so I can now smoke grass again if I chose, but maybe like once every few days or so. If that.

 

[lostsoul.On.E]

i freaked out the first time i got high. it was overwhelming and way too powerful. but thats the only time. i thought i was going to die!!

 

[cocacrazy]

I've felt very uncomfortable in certain settings before and had to finally leave but that's as far as I've ever freaked out.

Honestly the only time I've ever "freaked out" was on a come up of shrooms and a come down off of amp. And just a little advice, if weed causes you to freak out stay away from hallucinogens.

most people would pop some benzos with their bud. but personally i find that taking smaller hits and leaving a few minutes between hits will not cause as much anxiety

Hah you've obviously never had a panic attack before, but if you have, my bad.
I'm one of those 'dumbasses' I guess, but note that a panic attack by itself can be pretty crippling. Having a full blown panic attack while high as fuck can really freak a person out, even to the point where yes, you think you're gonna die. You are just rock solid, props

So if yall are freaking out constantly and it doesn't seem to go away, you've got 3 options:

1. take much smaller tokes and don't go too far, sometimes a teeny hit of potent pot is all you need.

2. find some xanax. some people like to pop them and then smoke, but I find it most enjoyable to smoke my brains out, be panicky as fuck first, and then chew a xanax (try to do this before you eat anything too, hits much better on an empty stomach), granted you have to wait about 10min after that, but thats the ride...

3. quit smoking pot. maybe its time, yaknow?

#2 and #3 I have personally tried with great success....#1 aint for everybody, as theres no way I'm putting that piece down until its allllllll gone

 

[Zzyzx]

I saw a girl run around the house at 3h am screaming '' I dont wanna die I dont wanna diiiiie!!!'' after taking 2 tokes of a small joint

Marijuana is still a drug and some people dont seem to react too well to it

 

[FDRinTRINIDAD]

Ya know I used to smoke weed every day for years then i didn't smoke for like 6months and i totally had a panic attack. It was really weird cause nothing like that has ever happened to me. That was over 4 months ago haven't smoked since I guess I just grew out of that phase in my life.

 

[TwistedReality]

And just a little advice, if weed causes you to freak out stay away from hallucinogens.

I get a lot of anxiety with weed, but when I trip I am usually very calm and grounded. Hallucinogens and weed each produce a completely different type of experience, so anxiety from one does not necessarily mean you will get anxiety from both.

 

[cl_sullivan]

Never freaked out, I find it hard to understand how people freak out (my friends have done it before) it just never occurs to me because you feel so relaxed and calm and content. I have become anxious before on it though, thinking about getting caught, or something bad happening but those thoughts seem to leave my mind as quickly as they entered.

 

[ShroomBoom321]

out of 5 years of blazing up, I've only had one freak out. I was hot boxing my moms car at spring break with a bong, needless to say I got really fucking high! haha I was freaking out about my heart beating fast or something then I passed out. It was my birthday too, so what do my friends do to celebrate? big birthday blunt! haha...then I was all giggly, having a good time.

 

[Transcendence]

No. I have little sympathy for people who freak out on weed. If you're so ignorant about cannabis that you even for a fleeting moment believe that you're in physical danger from smoking it, then you have no right to be using the drug in the first place. I understand how people can get anxious on weed, but that's a far cry from completely losing your mind. Idiots who dive into shit they don't understand deserve what they get IMO. They are a danger to themselves and those around them.

The second time I smoked I was so high I was basically tripping. My heart was beating about 150 BPM and to top it all off the guy who smoked me up told me that "[my heart] shouldn't be doing that" Nonetheless, I had thoroughly researched cannabis long before I ever tried it, knew that these were normal effects of smoking, and relaxed.

You obviously dont have an anxiety/panic disorder and thats great but some people do. Someone having a panic attack is not a display of ignorance. Infact I would say that labeling such a condition as ignorance is pretty ironic.

Cannabis, especially high potency cannabis or hashish, has potential to be a pretty strong psychedelic if you use it that way. I've experienced total ego loss on pot before, granted I was alone and used it in conjunction with deep thought and trance-inducing techniques. I think a lot of people underestimate the potential for weed to be used to trip. I've most certainly tripped off weed many many times so I know people aren't just freaking out an having panic attacks. I've had those too and there is a difference between tripping balls on weed (which just gets way worse when the people around you are calling you a pussy and telling you you're not tripping and just being gay) and having a simple panic attack. Maybe they normally occur together, idk, very possible I guess.

 

[ControlDenied]

a shitload of times.
and i still smoke
not taking yourself/mind too seriously, or benzos, or opiates, or speed, or socializing, or outdoor walks, etc., can help a lot.
