Bad Trip on K2 Summit

[MichaelR]

Hi,

I tried K2 for the second time three days ago, the first was four days ago. The first time I took quite a few hits and nothing really happened other than a small buzz. The second time, doubting that the stuff worked, I was an IDIOT and I WAY overdid it with about 10 hits from a pipe. To make a long story short, I felt like I was in hell for ~ 3 hours. I was mostly better after that, but now about three days later I am still feeling agitation and an elevated heart rate. Thankfully, it has not interfered with work. I can't tell if the lingering effects are psychological damage or the drug.

Has anyone had a similar experience? How long does it take to completely calm down? Should I be worried about seeking medical attention? I don't have much of a history with drugs, my lifetime experience amounting to about 10x using alcohol and 10x using marijuana in the past 2 years.

It sounds like you don't have very much experience with marijuana and/or synthetics and are more susceptible to a negative reaction. It's not at all uncommon for people to have negative reactions to high doses of cannbinoids, although I would say that is more rare for someone to have symptoms 3 days later. It does happen though, a lot of people seem to have really crappy reactions to this K2 stuff. I've never tried it, I used one of the "spice alike" blends a while back and didn't have any negative reactions.

I've been using marijuana for probably 4 years and started using JWH-073 more recently. I had one occasion where I had a panicky feeling, I smoked maybe a hit too much and just had this awful body load. It didn't last very long thankfully, I was okay after 10 minutes or so.

This K2 shit could have various synthetic RC's in them, and I suppose it's possible that some of them could last a while and cause the symptoms you are experiencing. My gut feeling is that if you avoid using it you should find yourself get better. Please note I'm not an expert though, I'm just throwing my opinion out there. My advice would be to relax and try to wait it out.

I've dabbled with them way too much. I've tried most all of them. Attempted to make my own. Costly, and not real effective. Get you some synthetic urine (I have to assume you have randoms at work?) and smoke some good old weed with that nice built in ceiling. Peace out.

I never tried K2 but I did try Spice Diamond and had a similar reaction the first time I used it. I wayyy overdid it taking 4 hits not realizing how long it takes to fully comeon. And I remember getting so paranoid I shut all the lights off, muted the tv, and just sat on the couch watching a screen with no noise for about an hour and a half.
I just sat there telling myself "if this ends soon I will never do this shit again" over and over lol. I'm use to smoking pot, and although it was very similar to pot, it was somewhat different. It was like the first time I ever smoke pot, I got all the visual and mental paranoia, w/out really being able to experience any real euphoria at all to balance it out. The feeling was just so intense I couldn't relax on it. And pot also doesn't make my heart race, I noticed as soon as it kicked in I don't even think I was nervous at that point but my heart started going like a rabbit. And that in turn just made everything worse.

I then tried mixing in a very tiny about with my pot days later, to potentiate the weed, and although it was definitely better it was still too much anxiety from the spice. I'd imagine K2 is somewhat similar, and its prob better off just sticking to good od weed like hippiechicks said.

Thanks for the responses guys. Yeah, I'm definitely done with K2; I may never smoke again and if I do it will definitely be weed. In my limited experience, I have done quite a lot at once before and have never had any experience that wasn't awesome with MJ. I'll just wait and hope for my symptoms to slowly fade, because it seems like they are.
