Pot / 1st time / most horrible experience

This experience was my first drug experience and was nearly ten years ago I still don't know why pot and I go so badly.
Background : got the pot from a friend, it was backyard grown (ie, not hydroponic) and was not laced. It was leaves (yes, it was leaf not even bud)that had been picked the night before.
I was on my own but I don't think this had much to do with it either
Experience: I smoked 2 cones from a makeshift pipe and as soon as I stood up I felt it was very overpowering, as I was walking back inside the house, I started to panic a little but calmed myself and went to brush my teeth and noticed my mouth was extremely dry. At this point I felt it was a little much and thought a cool shower might calm me down. THIS IS WHERE THINGS GET WEIRD. As I'm in the shower I am looking down towards my feet and it feels as though my vision is bending around a corner and my feet are a long way away. At this point I will remind you seasoned trippers that this is my first drug experince to my understanding pot was not meant to do this, so I am panicing.Getting out of the shower I feel as though I am moving in "slats" or "storyboards" with my motion being very slow and mechanical and speeding to normal motion only to slow down again and be frozen on one of these storyboards not able to move. After a good while trying to move, trying to get out of the bathroom in this way of movement, I get the feeling that my movement is not being dictated by me, and some higher power is laughing at me and taunting me about how absurd I am, and that "It" knows what I am going to do, has already forseen it and that it is not deemed worthy, all in all I feel as though I am being told I am less than insignificant.
At this point I decide to get into bed and try to sleep it off. when I eventually get to the bedroom I can't even dress myself (I'm still naked from the shower). As I lie in bed the auditory hallucinations start. With every movment I make it feels like there is a sledgehammer banging each eardrum from side to side, this feels very painful, the more I move, the louder and more painful it is, and the more I recoil in pain. I am sure at any moment my eardrums will burst outwards. For a moment I entertain the thought of killing myself to make this trip stop ( I have never been suicidal, so this was something that really scared me) but I dismiss this. I try to calm myself and lie still as I can, as this stops the banging in my head. By now I'm lying in the feotal position but my breathing is enough movement to keep the banging.
After what seemed like an eternity I finally fell asleep and the next thing I remember is my mother calling me to the telephone (they had since come home) I looked at the clock and it was 9 hours later and I was still very disorientated and my motor skills weren't 100%.
This experience put me off all drugs for a long time. People have since come up with many possible explanations as to why this happened. I have smoked it again but find I have no tolerence to it and had a slightly similar trip although shorter with a half a cone of bud. I have since had and enjoyed many other " harder " drugs with no problems and sometimes wish I could come home after a big night out on the chems and punch cones until I pass out like all my other friends but it's not to be.

Personally I found the trick to weed (and pretty much everything) is not to overthink it. Don't rely on your expectations and just let it flow. Let the beautiful herb thoughts roll in and out and don't force yourself to make sense of everything, because the whole point is pretty much to shatter your common senses and reach a different level.
Hehe I'm stoned right now I can't tell if I spelled level right - just seems off for some reason. Anyway I hope you may one day merge with the weed experience and grow to love it. Peace out.
 
sounds like weed to me -
When I first started smoking I didnt know how to inhale, so I would smoke like 2 bowls to get kinda high. I learned to inhale correctly after about a week and smoked a gram of chronic. The high shocked me so bad I got all scared and freaked out and shit just like this dude. It can happen.
 
The frames were easily explainable. When you smoke pot and see yourself in frames (I understand this as if you felt like there was a strobe light in the room or something), that's simply your brain having very minor seizures that don't have any effect other than making your vision choppy. Its actually very possibly that the weed was laced, regardless of what you were told... I mean, man... this was your first drug experience, how could you possibly know if the weed was dusted with anything. Pot is a wonderful drug... I suggest that you go out and find some regs (schwag) and make sure these aren't leaves (leaves only give me a headache)... smoke a bowl or two and like stardreamer said, let it flow, man...
 
man i miss that "stoned" feeling of not being able to move..most people get that when they first start smoking..uncomfortable with it, and actually being stoned.... but now i miss it...i smoke and its soo much more melow and cruisy...
 
I'm 99% sure the weed wasn't laced and the reason I wrote this trip report is partly because Its hard to relate to people why I'll smoke crack or do K but pass the joint along ( I always get funny looks). As I say this wasn't only one occasion, it happened over a few times with different weed, spaced over a couple of years but not as bad as this first time.
In a way this was not nessecarily a very bad thing as it did put me off "harder" drugs until I was much older and a little more educated. I have nothing against pot at all and am a bit of a campaigner to have it more socially acceptable, in fact most of my friends are heavy smokers. So don't take this report as hating marijuana and it's users, this was just my experience with it.
 
omigod! what you have described is soo the same as what i experienced first time and just about every other time i dared to go back hoping 4 a better pot experience. I too can indulge in much harder drugs with a pleasent result, even more so than my pot smoking friends. The only conclusion i can come 2 is that some peoples brains r just not compatible to nasty pot so dont even try 2 enjoy it-leave it to the stoners.
 
Fuck, I get that frame vision almost everytime I smoke.. I also get a body high much more intense than shrooms even (i feel like im melting or spiining) and i even hallucinate occasionally (though they are much different than shrooms or acid).. I just am very sensitive to THC for some reason... So I highly doubt it was laced.. it was either too potent, or you are sensitive to it like me.. Not a bad thing, you can use weed alot more sparingly..
 
Thanks for posting, Eubonics. I think more people should be aware they might have "bad" reactions to pot. It's not for everyone...
 
Smoking alone for the first time, with no previous drug history isn't the greatest ida, but yes, some people just are not compatible with weed. If you get anxiety/panic attacks, and you actually do want to enjoy weed, you could try some sort of benzos before getting stoned, and just ride the high. Benzos should stop those uncomfrotable feelings of anxiety and panic.
 
Yeah man, I can relate to this.
The two most psychedelic experiences I've ever had were the first time I smoked a whole joint to myself(!), and the second was when I was given ketamine in hospital. And the weed trip was easilly the most profound. Mybe I'll write these up one day, as trip reprts......

Si Ingwe: Hehe before anyone plays it down, a joint is a lot! At least in my world. How much weed do you generally roll a joint /w?
 
I doubt it was too big. Biggest joint I've rolled was 5 and a half grams and that took me two rolling papers rolled into one big cone(not trying to sound like I'm bragging, I've seen even bigger joints with the same amount of papers and the quality was SO much better and then again... I AM pretty experienced with pot, so I suppose it depends on whether or not you rolled this joint yourself or if you had someone good with that do it for you...)... Damn... now you've got ME curious... how big WAS this joint?

Si Ingwe: why would you get given Ketamine in a hospital? You were put under for something ?

It wasn't that big, about cigarette sized but TIGHTLY packed and very good Mozambique sensi. No tobacco obviously (a horrible habit imo, keep yer weed clean!). Took about 15 minutes to smoke the whole thing as it kept going out on me. This was many years ago and like I said I never really smoked before at all, just a toke or two with company. I sort of wanted to see whhat it was made of, ha ha! After I finished the joint I just laid back and turned down the TV and just let it happen...... I ended up having this, like, out of body experience combined with hallucination/vision. There's loads more to it than that so I'll save it for a trip report but it's pretty clear to ppl who know me that the experience was life changing (as was my first E some 4 years later).

Yeah man. I saw Stradreamer's post first, but that's the question I was really hoping to get.......
Well, Splatt, I was pumped with K in ICU after a major allergic-to-shellfish related asthma attack.
Ketamine is a rather remarkable drug. Unlike other drugs that cause sedation, Ketamine produces sedation WITHOUT depressing the cardiovascular system. This makes K unique and at the time I was taken ill a Doctor had been experimenting with it for treating severe asthma attacks. He probably saved my life, but some other things went wrong (UK hospitals are fucked) and as well as that I had a very rough time of it coming out. Quite a common problem with medically administered Ketamine, I've heard.
But, being reasonably experienced with psychedelics, I could see that, even though I wasn't in the right sorta place to enjoy it, the trip could be very interesting. But that's also for my trip report. Maybe I'll do one looooong one, with my first experience with weed, E and K....? Yeah, like, one day..... maybe.... hee hee.... yawn....

personal opinion here,
i don't think it has anything to do with people that are meant for weed or note etc.
the first drug i ever did was pot as well, and the first time i felt it, i was paranoid very similar to the way you explained.
i would actually get to the point i would contemplate praying to something out there to get me out of it and never do it again.
but now? now whenever i smoke i LOVE IT!! so what i reckon it is that it was your first drug, first trippy experience and that is the way u were going to naturally react to it. easy to get by after u smoke more and more :D
keep it real. ;)
