My apologies for the small post, but I'm just letting people know my story. I'm not discouraging anyone from it, I mean come on, chemicals are chemicals and some can be dangerous if not done correctly. You don't need me preaching to you.

My brother ordered some of the 99% pure jwh-018 powder off the net.

7:00PM - I take a hit, sit back and immediately feel incredibly stoned.

7:10PM - I feel very weird, uncomfortable, and different all together. I started thinking "what if I just died..right here" Yes I have depression but it wasn't normal, I just had a "I'm going to die feeling"

7:45PM - I wake up on the ground. I was told I was in and out of consciousness for about 20 minutes. The reason nobody freaked out was because they thought I was just nodding off as always (I'm a heroin addict) They didn't see me fall on the floor but that was obvious. They walked in the room and found me there, so they figured I just laid down and was "H'd out" but they were very wrong. I didn't even shoot up that day, I was on suboxone.

8:00PM - They think something is wrong and take me to the hospital. Apparently I had seizures on two different occasions and my BP was insanely out of whack. My potassium was also so low they gave me 8 pill of it, and IV'd me with potassium for about 2 hours. I had an MRI, cat scan, xray, the whole nine yards.

I was in the ER for about 16 hours and the thing that makes me the most upset is that I will owe about 4k and have no insurance. As if I wasn't in debt enough!

After all that, I looked it up and found I was not the only one that had seizures in result of jwh. Just be safe guys!

Interesting. Did you tell the doctors that you dosed with a synthetic cannabinoid, and if so, what was their reaction?
 
Yes, I did. They said "Well this isn't the first case we have gotten about this RC" and then they gave me the whole "drugs are bad speech" and sent me home with a drug abuse pamphlet.
 
I'm just curious but how much did you take? Or did you eyeball it? I have never taken a hit and instantly felt high and I've fucked up quite a few times with high doses.
 
Half of a dime I'd say..I think I read somewhere 10 milligrams is the proper dosage, I don't know what my exact dosage was. I didn't weigh it I eye-balled. I kept inhaling it over and over again like you do with other things, so I'm sure that didn't help. Loss of oxygen haha.

With how I react to cannabis, I imagine that if I ever dosed with jwh, that I would be in the ER seeking a shot of lorazepam. All it would take is a blood pressure reading.

You get what's coming. This is what is expected when people mess with research chemicals and don't weigh out dosages. You and people like you are what get these drugs on the radar, and banned. While I won't go so far as to say you deserved it...I definitely don't think anyone should feel sorry for you.

The dosage BTW is >1mg-3mg. Half a dize could have been 20mg or more. Doesn't make you the brightest guy in the world.
 
Wait, are you saying you did an amount 018 the size of a half dime of heoin? If you did then it isn't surprising you had problems.That would be like me dosing fentanyl based on it "well I do WAY more meth than that on a shot, I'll be fine"8o
 
I don't get why you went to the hospital. I've had seizures a number of times, and not once did I ever think I needed to be hospitalized. The thought never crossed my mind. Don't be a pussy, and say you don't need to go to the hospital, and say that you're fine. I'm sure you knew you weren't in any danger.

ATTENTION SEEKER!

Just kidding. :p

I'm glad you're OK! Take some multivitamins as well dude. Your balance is clearly fucked up, and you need to consider getting your health back on track.
 
Morningglory-- I don't have a scale that goes that low. I read the dosage was 10mg, obviously I read it wrong. I guessed what was 10mg to the best of my knowledge. It probably was weighed out very accurate. I just looked at the wrong site for dosage info. Who the hell said people should feel sorry for me? I'm sorry but your post makes you come off as an asshole. I was sharing my experience and what I happened. I'm not looking for people to feel sorry for me. I don't even care if people respond. Its a trip report section and I was simply stating what happened. Also it wasn't my choice to go to the hospital or not.

Firered-- I didn't WANT to go, they forced me :( Especially since I don't have insurance. Attention is not worth 3-4k in medical bills. And yes you are absolutely right, I don't do a good job at all at taking care of my health. I'm in the process of quitting H (6th-7th time haha) so hopefully soon my health along with my life will be back on track!
 
I don't take care of myself too well either, but I do try to keep myself from vitamin deficiencies. I tend to become deficient in Folic Acid or Iron the most, so I take those substances occasionally to keep those levels up. For you; all you gotta do is eat bananas every here and there. Nothing too complicated.

I definitely know what you mean dude. I hate hospital bills.
 
10mg is 5 to 10 times more than you need. Imagine inhaling 10 entire bowls of high grade cannabis smoke at once and not coughing any out?
 
Call the billing dept. and tell they you can't pay your bill. There was a big article in the local newspaper about hospital billing practices--often they'll take 50% off JUST LIKE THAT.

I wish people would get the message that people have no business even thinking about working with research chemicals unless they have a proper milligram-sensitive scale.
 
I have mg scales. but I never use them for jwh-whatever. I just put a tiny amount (way less ths 1 mg) in the pipe and repeat as needed. And how do I know what I'm doing each time is "way less than 1 mg"? Well because I have milligram scales of course.
 
I have heard a few bad experiences about JWH... Especially the whole 'permanent headache' thing that has been posted about on BL before (but I think that was K Summit). Anyway, hope you get everything sorted out mate
