well i think maybe this term gets used different among differen't groups of people but i think the main consensus is that you smoke to much weed and start throwing up or pass out.

Up until i read about this i thought greening out was when you smoke to then point of annihilation of all motor functions, i have smoked to the point i cannot literally move and just sit there laughing so hard that it hurts, i thought this was greening out because i couldn't do anything at all, even though i was in a good mood, i was in a good mood because i felt safe and thought it was halirious i couldn't turn the light switch off haha

Anyway most people i know that smoke to this point say they do not enjoy it and feel like shit.

so have i got this all wrong and i was just very ultra stoned? because the only time i have thrown up from weed was when i drank lots of alcohol before hand, i mean a lot and then just felt fried, that was twice and was not good at all but i dont know if that would be considered greening out ebcause i also drank booze.

so yeah let us know what your take on this is.
 
Midwest US here. never heard of "greening out." i dont see it catching or spreading either--with any definition.
 
My fart just sounded like the adams family theme song.
I know it's irrelevant but it just happened as I was reading this thread.

I've almost blacked out from lightheadedness, but I have never "greened-out" but I think I just got done hanging out with a person who was greened out. He barely said a word and was so slow to talk and just sat there with a blank look on his face for like 3 hours.
 
Greening out is where you smoke past your comfort zone and the good feeling starts to go too intense, becomes very unpleasant and you generally spew up...

Only happened to me once or twice, when i started smoking and didn't know how much i could take, i just kept on smoking...

Laying down it felt like my chest was caving in and i didn't know weather i could get up, but i knew i was going to spew on myself so i had to get up and do something about it...

Unpleasant.
 
I'm guessing op is from Australia? We use the term 'greening' when one of us gets to the stage of just being so can't be fucked to do anything except sleep. Sometimes we just say it when everyone goes quiet just to wake everyone up and so they can deny greening it.
 
It sounds like 'greening out' is just a term which can have multiple interpretations.

Personally I'd probably use it to refer to someone who's smoked to the point where they are too paranoid to talk let alone make eye contact with anyone.
 
I think I greened out a couple weeks ago. I mean it was fucking legit too, nothing like you guys explained it. I was getting mass CEV's (closed-eyed-visuals). When I saw stuff when my eyes were open, it was like I was seeing 2 things at once. I was seeing this weird pattern, almost like something on the inside of a pin-ball machine, then also seeing everything that was there, but both at like 50% opaque-ness, so both of the visuals were there. I was just sitting down on the couch living it up with a pillow and blanket! My eyes were closed like the whole time and people were like "OMG _____ is dead! _____ are you awake!!??!" But I'd just be like "yeah I'm awake" or just give a simple thumbs up. I also had a pretty thick sprite/vodka mix. It was super fun!
But at my level of inebriation, I can definitely see how people would freak out and have a bad 'trip'. Maybe I've learned to handle weed/alcohol better after taking a several month break from both? B'cause I know if I was half as fucked up as I was that night, I would have been freaking, as of 6 months ago.
 
I used to get crazy fun CEV...actually now that I think of it I probably did "green" out a few times.
It's not nearly as cool as "fishing out" however :) lol
 
ive definitely smoked so much that i was far beyond my comfort zone high (DAMN SATIVAS). never thrown up except once when i was drunk and wanted to pass out - hit a bowl, turned the lights off, ran to the sink lol. fucking spins.

Fishing Out: "Having ingested too much, or just the right amount of GHB and/or purple hooter so that one flails about on the ground, resembling a fish out of water."
 
Never heard the term, hopefully I never experience it either.

I don't see myself ever throwing up from cannabis; maybe if I baked it and consumed a half or more.
 
never heard greening out, although I hear green-sick thrown around occasionally. I would personally use it to refer to getting so high that you either have a panic/anxiety reaction or throw up.

I've only thrown up from smoking bud after having gotten too drunk first, then I get the spins and hurl.

Onetime though I eyeballed a dose of jwh-018 (stupid, although usually I do it with good results) and it got me so high I had a typical panic reaction. I knew it was just the drug so I waited it out instead of freaking out and hitting a hospital, but it still sucked mightily.

Correction: another time at an sts9 show at red rocks I ate 1/3 of a pan of my friends brownies he made with leaves, he didn't tell me how strong they were, and I ended up projectile vomiting off the back wall of red rocks halfway through their first set lol. I never really understood what was meant by "projectile" vomiting until that night lol

I think I almost greened out a month ago, while walking around I smoked a bunch of bowls with random people (chilling in the lot of a music festival) and I think that, combined with the intense heat and me not wearing a hat or whatever, made me really lightheaded and I thought I was gonna pass out.

After a while I had to lie down in any shade I could find - the tent (until I had to pack it up - had no idea how i managed that), under a car, in other people's tarps,etc - had some water and it was better.
 
I've heard greening out quite a bit, basically used for whenever someone smokes a little too much
 
The party scene around here (frats included) refer to "greening out" as throwing up or spinning and passing out. I don't see it happen to often unless alcohol proceeds smoking, but then I don't think it is really "greening out," as much as spinning to a faceplant.

A few frats have a wall of shame for the kids who threw up solely on weed. Thankfully this hasn't happened to me, but I've seen a lot of close friends loose it more than once.
 
I always finish a bowl.. which can be bad. I just recently started smoking again, and my tolerance is nil. 1-2 hits will get me ripped.. so an entire bowl sends me to lala land.
 
I've thrown up once from smoking weed. Me and my friend with a bong each smoking cones one after another decided to call it quits at 6 cones, mind you this is in the space of about 2 minutes.

I left his house nearly imediatly due to how tired I was, the second I left his yard I threw up twice, staggered to the train station, fell asleep on the train, woke up when I heard the name of my station over the speaker, ran into the door trying to exit the train and then finally made it home and slept for eighteen hours.

A fairly dumb thing to do but it was worth it just for the story.
