Anyone ever freak out on weed?

I used to smoke with my ex-boyfriend, usually three cones, semi regularly. One time we had a smoke at a friend's place, who said the bud had been sitting in a bowl that had had coke in it. After I had those cones, I felt this rising anxiety in my stomach, and increasing heart rate. I scared me quite a bit, but smoked again on another occasion, and experienced the same effects.

That was years ago, but even now, when I have a couple of a tokes on a joint, I experience what I would call a panic attack: rapid heart rate, feeling like I have to "make" myself breathe, and the sensation that my body is turning, or doing somersaults inside of me as I sit there, so I can't relax. It is a very uncomfortable body load to say the least.

Does anyone else experience these symptoms?

:(

oh yeh all the time. the whole thread's abot them actually...

but i keep smoking the stuff. why?

death wish? probably
 
I've actually finally totally stopped weed. Which makes sense, 'cuz all it does is give me panic attacks. I have a bowl left, been locked in a jar for like a month. I'm too cheap to toss it or give it away. Maybe in a few years I'll have another go at weed.

but for real, a hit of weed makes my heart pound faster than a hit of crack. An evening of weed will make me more sketched out than an evening of crack. bye bye weed.

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

Don't know about that crazy bitch but when I was high my first time, I wanted to chillax, eat, be lazy, and eat... The thought of having to run, while baked, would be enough to cause a panic attack :P
 
;)

I was hoping to differentiate the symptoms of what people define as having a "panic attack" - psychologically and physically. I never experienced any paranoia during those times, but felt pretty uncomfortable physically.

The feeling like you have to make yourself breathe - I have spoken to one other person that experiences the same effect... Does anyone else find this happens to them?
 
I would say the 3rd time I smoked weed, I was in my garage. After about 5 minutes I started to hear a piano playing. It wasn't comming from any specific location but I just heard it playing continuosly.

It was about 3 in the morning so I knew I was just hearing shit. It sounded like some horror movie bullshit but I knew the sound wasn't real so I just told myself to ignore it. Eventually about 3 - 5 minutes passed of this bullshit horror movie type piano music so I went inside. I still heard it for about another 30 seconds after I went inside, then it stopped.

After getting inside I almost convinced myself to call 911 because of the intense cerebral sensations that I was having. It felt like someone was massaging my brain with some icy-hot cream.

I knew I only smoked weed and that nothing could go wrong but god damn I was so close to freaking out over nothing.

I still smoke but sometimes I just get really fucked up and make a whole bunch of shit up in my head.
 
My housemate absolutely hates weed. Everytime he smoked it he would get all shitty and go to bed ranting about how all it does is make you tired and it's a waste of money. Not exactly a freak out but closest thing I've ever seen.
 
I hyperventilate when I smoke weed. While I don't -have- to exert complete control over my breathing, it's a good idea for me to. Otherwise I take short, rapid breaths, and that will cause my heart beat to increase even more (just being stoned makes my heart beat about 30% faster) So I make sure I breath in fully with every breath.

My scalp line and palms begin to perspire in a very greasy way. This is a symptom of stress for me (I get the same thing at work a lot).

My head feels like there's a twisting pressure. The pressure swims behind my eyes and about half of my brain. It feels like its rotating and expanding and contracting. It feels like an overwhelming "urge." I have a huge "urge" to do or be something... But it's completely non-specific. The pressure builds and builds 'til my eyes dry out and my head begins to ache. I need/desire something, but I can never figure out what it is.

I start worrying about where I am and if I'm imposing or bothering the people around me. I feel like I don't belong. Whenever I try to make conversation, I feel the need to explain why what I'm saying is important, and validate my every action and expression. I can't shake peoples' hands when I'm stoned. I'm afraid I'll violate some part of the social etiquette. I'm afraid of handshakes.

I don't get paranoid. I get afraid, tense, and terribly uncertain of myself. I usually just sit silently, because moving or talking or even playing a game seems like so much trouble and complication and there are far too many things that could go wrong to make anything enjoyable. So I sit and stare. I don't put on music, even. It's too stressful to try and pick the "right" CD. The world is far too big and complicated to participate in. I feel like I shouldn't even try.
 
unfortunately hard opiates are like a magical alternative for the former pothead's love of intoxicating introversion
 
first time i smoked weed i was overwhelmed and thought i was in a game and my asian friend looked like a devil and my brother was there and i was telling him i was freaking out and he was laughing at me. haha it was so horrible. but i look back at it and laugh so hard!

This reminds me of what happened to me once when I was high. I was watching the news and there was footage of a kid who I think was brain dead (I wasn't paying attention) and he is in one of those standing-up-wheelchair things (like Hannibal) with a huge open mouth and staring blankly into nothingness. It freaked me the hell out and I had an instant panic attack that lasted for a good hour. I still get freaked out thinking about the image even now.
 
who hasn't freaked out on weed?

I wish I still did.

Back in the day my friends would smoke just to see who would "geek out" the hardest....

ahhh the good ol' days....
 
Ive learned that when we get older, weed and drugs in general do different things to our brains. When i was a teen weed was pschedelic and euphoric, now it seems introspective and revealing, sometimes scarry. I still smoke though, the pros outweigh the cons.
 
I can smoke meth without freaking out, but not weed. Not even alcohol cures the anxiety and paranoia.

But benzos do! Benzos make weed so enjoyable again. But I still only smoke like once a week 'cuz it makes me kinda dull.
 
every now and then, but honestly all i have to do is remember that its weed, and that pretty much puts and end to any freak out. Ive never had a freak out last more than a couple of minutes...usually all I have to do is get up and move around, that usually fixes the problem.
 
The only time I've come close to freaking out was on time I smoked I guess it just hit me too hard and I felt like I was coming out of a some kind of crazy trip. Like if I looked at my chair with clothes on it it would kinda look like it was someone sitting in the chair and I was just still coming down so it looked like clothes ha. Everything in my house was doing that I felt like people were watching me but I just thought 'its just weed' and I managed to keep my head.
 
Never had any major freak-outs. Closest I get is the usual paranoia. I once got high alone, and two of my friends snuck into the house and heard me talking to myself, and figured I was high. They went into my room and put on some Halloween masks and some random clothes. They kinda looked like a kid spawned by Hendrix and the Grim Reaper.

They burst into the room I was in, and said nothing. Just floated around fiddling with shit. I didn't freak, but I sort of questioned my sanity a few times.

That's really the closest I've come to a freak-out, and I was mostly fine even then.
 
if you like and need the world as it is, dont smoke weed? if the world is boring as batshit to you, a bit of freaking out is entirely positive. freaking out = stuff is interesting.

just keep in mind that you only smoked a bit of weed, and if it killed you, well your name is going to be famous at the very least.
 
My best friend freaked out first time. He had a minor anxiety attack for what i see as a couple of different reasons.

1: His mom called him right as he was inhaling his third hit. scared the shit out of him, but he still took the hit.
2: he doesn't have very good technique and was coughing every time. coughing is not a pleasant experience and that on top of his mom calling could ruin the experience.
3: he's had the least experience out of us as far as substances go. he's a really big guy, and even four shots of hard liquor didn't get him buzzed even. he's never really felt what it's like to be out of your head and i think it fucked with him a little.
4: the fact that everyone he was with while smoking got a little bit high, and all that happened to him was an anxiety attack could also be part of it.

I've had a perfectly normal experience with weed, and freakouts don't seem too common so i wouldn't worry.
