[MEGA]Idiosyncratic/Unusual Responses to Cannabis

Thanks for your concern, and i did speak to my doctor after this and he said lay of doing it on a regular basis like every 3 -5 days which is what i was doing for a month before the last episode happpened, and do it every couple of months in sensible amounts instead and my body should build up a tolerance as it does for anything. So im gonna see how that goes for me as i do enjoy doing it and i dont have an addictive personality so ill be fine sticking to this. Also the last time i did it, two of my friends where complaining of jet lagg and short term memory loss, so it could of just been the bud or that they smoked quite alot probably an 8th each in that night and morning
 
so funny.... I'm not making fun of anybody. But, I've been smoking weed for 42 years and I've never heard of anything like this before..
 
sadl, im not making it up. im seriously thinking about stopping it all together, but considering why sometimes im fine smoking weed and sometimes it proper fucks with me. I dont think its worth the risk experimenting and it has put me off taking any other drug :L
 
wtf is wrong with all these people who say "oh 1 or 2 hits of ganja makes me feel all anxious?!?" ??!?! If anything 1 or 2 hits will just make u feel relaxed and GOOD!!! damn if you don't enjoy ganja then don't friggin smoke it u dumb ass wallabies!

Hi.. this is partly questioning & asking everyone elses' opinions & partly for a discussion.
I've always been one of those people who takes a hit & then involuntarily coughs their lungs out.
No matter how hard I try to not cough, it still happens.
I vaguely remember my mother telling me that she never smoked much weed because she was allergic to it & she had asthma.
I don't have asthma & I've gotten used to always coughing.
I've spread my theory about possibly being allergic around & I've heard from various people that I'm not allergic if I don't have hives...
Well, I just recently got a decent full time job & have the money to afford to be high pretty much constantly..
In the past I've smoked occasionally.. whenever someone's offered to smoke me up or whenever I had extra money..
I've been high for the past 2 weeks straight now & the night before yesterday I noticed that my left arm was covered in little itchy white dots...
The next day the dots were slightly bigger & red & there's more of them in different places.
I've never had hives before in my life, but from descriptions I've heard about them I'd say I have them now.
It seems like since I first noticed them every time I smoke more pop up all over me..
There's no other thing that I'm doing differently that could be causing me to have an allergic reaction.
I'm still coughing excessively when I smoke.. no changes there.
Just wondering for everyone's opinions.. Do you think that it sounds like I'm allergic to weed?
Do you know anyone who is? Any stories to share? What should I do? Pop some Benadryl? Stop smoking? (not gonna happen).. Should I just keep smoking & hope that these hives go away? Should I smoke while continuously popping Benadryl? Or should I just cut down smoking? Any input would be appreciated thanks

There has never been a documented case of an allergy to marijuana (specifically). Many people are allergic to pollen however.
Anyone who says "they're allergic" to cannabis are lying, simply because they don't want to be pressured into smoking.
If one WAS allergic, one would find out they were allergic by smoking some cannabis, and having their throat close up immediately, leading to asphyxiation and death.
Your friends are right, you would at least get hives from touching marijuana. And if you didn't get hives until you've been smoking for two weeks then it's something else. Check the detergent/fabric softeners that your mother is using. Any soaps/shampoos/conditioners/body wash that you haven't used before, etc.
Hives are usually caused by "skin contact" allergens and less often from inhaled or otherwise consumed allergens.

Coughing is common, however, and people who "smoke so much they don't cough anymore" are usually tobacco smokers as well.
Cannabis dilates the airways, causing you to cough and expel toxins.
Tobacco constricts them, cutting down on, or completely stopping, your body's (very important) urge to cough and rid itself of tars. That (coupled with recent research that indicates THC may abolish cancer cells) is the reason most cases of lung cancer are attributed to cigarette smoking and not marijuana.

Your mom has asthma, and smoking anything can exacerbate this. Chances are it triggered an asthma attack, scaring the shit out of her and leading her to believe that she was "allergic." That is not the case if she did not require immediate lifesaving medical treatment.

So you're telling these people that they are in fact mistaken and the feelings that they do not enjoy are actually pleasant?
 
I believe that is exactly what he is saying.
Obviously his logic is flawed.

Anyway, for those who just get anxious; you need to learn what you're smoking before you smoke it.
Ask for Indica. Ask what kind of weed "this batch" is. If they can't tell you, don't buy from them.

Sativa is stimulating, and will cause anxiety a lot more readily.
Indica is more sedating, and therefore anxiolytic.

Edit: OR smoke weed EVERY day. Once tolerance builds anxiety ceases to be (as much of) an issue.
It really does have to be a daily occurrence it would seem. :/
 
That's not necessarily true imo, plenty of people here say that they find the combination of anxiety and lethargy even less pleasant. You're also in a lucky position, being from California; in a lot of places, you'll be told "it's weed, mate", and you can't haughtily meander off to take your business to another dealer.
 
Yea, that must suck. Everyone and their mom sells weed out here, so if they don't know what it is you can find someone who does...
Terrible how underprivileged the rest of the world is :(
 
I'm tired of reading "be sure you smoke Indica" (because) Sativas can cause anxiety "or even worse paranoia" blah, blah, blah...If your head cant handle it, Indica is worse by far. Any seasoned smoker that has had experience from the 1970's thu present strains knows this. Hybrids arent as cut & dry...
 
I just don't understand that dogma. Why is it impossible to believe that some people do not like cannabis?
 
Due to varying concentrations of about 60 different cannabinoids, chances are they have indeed not found the strain, or at least the single cannabinoid, that suits them.
Try to know what strain you are smoking at a given time. It will definitely help avoid that strain in the future should you dislike it.
Also, try single cannabinoids. Research chemicals and whatnot.

I agree with the low tolerance-good weed issue. I all but stopped smoking, which caused me to get anxiety whenever I WOULD smoke, leading me to nearly quit smoking altogether.
Instead I decided to build my tolerance back up and smoke daily once again. It is medicative for me, having my card, and I had no issue with any strain before slowing down my intake.
I am glad to say I very rarely experience any significant increase in heart rate or anxiety any more.
If you get anxiety because you rarely smoke then smoke less, not at all, or go all out balls out and do it every day.

I don't think you you should recommend that people who have adverse reactions to cannabis should try out a synthetic cannabinoid. That seems like a terrible idea.
 
In low doses of course. Unless there are extracts of single (organic) cannabinoids? I would definitely recommend an extraction of cannabidiol if it existed, as it is indicated FOR anxiety, and is very unlikely to cause it.
Pure THC would definitely be the most stimulating component in a substance, so if you have the ability to go to a medical dispensary for your cannabis look at percentages, or ask about them.
There are some strains that are nearly devoid of THC but have very high CBD content.

Most people make that mistake, and think "more THC = more high."
While that may be true, most people don't want to get "high" but "stoned."

That is why I would recommend some sort of research cannabinoid, assuming it more closely mimicked cannabidiol. Unfortunately, most research chemicals are synthetic cannabinoids and meant to mimic THC.
Or worse, they act as completely UNselective cannabinoid agonists, leading to all kinds of overstimulation and anxiety, nausea, and in overdose (in the case of one individual, known personally); extreme tachycardia, vomiting (all over her boyfriend's room), babbling nonsense... This led her boyfriend to take her to the hospital.

So no. I should have been more specific. I don't recommend trying every cannabinoid willy-nilly, but to study them extensively and find the one, or combination of, cannabinoid(s) that produce desirable effects.

Well it all started about a year and a half ago when i first tryed it. I had a kingskin rolled joint to myself and had all the euphoric effects of the usual first time user. Well in the morning i went home and was really tired slept for roughly 15 hours, woke up the next morning and still felt stoned then the folowing 2 weeks or so i felt really jet lagged and deppressed.

Anyway i decided to do it again, thinking that it was kinda normal considering it was a strong bud which i smoked. Next time i did it i was monging out for hours, got home threw up everywhere and went to sleep, when i woke up realised i had slept for 21 hours which was ridiculous, the next events shocked me abit. The folowing two weeks i was constantly tired manically deppressed and really paranoid kept thinking i had cancer ( I know haha i laugh at it too) and Alzeiheimers which is loss of memory since my memory was fucking rediculous, and i heard music playing 3 days out of the 8 off which i had this. All my friends when i told them found it hilairous but i was quite worried.

After it stopped i decided to go to the doctors had a seires of blood test, to find that there was nothing wrong and they concluded that my body just didnt like it, and i didnt settle for this answer as i like to know the reasons behind what was happening to me.I searched throughout google and didnt find any thing like this, only symptoms of jet lagged afterwards. I thought maybe i was really sensitive to the thc and that maybe smoking a bud with more cbd in may help, but i didnt have the choice of bud from where i live.

I stupidly tryed it again thinking i was sensitive to the thc, i took 3 pulls, and felt perfectly normal, but got home felt really ill and threw up and slept and had jet lag for the next day. Taking this in mind i decided not to try it again even though i really enjoyed it and waited a year until i tryed it again.

A year passed and i had a few pulls on a joint and to my shock i was fine, next i smoked more and gradually smoke more. But last month shocked me, i had about 5 ish joints over the evening and early morning, considering i had done much more previously, i thought id be fine but i woke up with exactly the same think as i had the first time without thinking i was dying and hearing music. I had really bad memory loss for the entire week then suddenly snapped back to normal and i was fine. All my friends wondered what was up with me the entire week and the describes me as depressive and quite which i was. I was wondering if anyone has had anything like this, ill continue to smoke it but respectively only having it in small amounts as im fine with it.

In my opinion i just think im really sensitive to the thc which is a good thing i suppose if i dont overdo it :) Thankyou for reading comments would be lovely

All the side's you are showing I would experience if I were to smoke ALOT of weed now, and my tolerance is through the roof.

I think you do just have a sensitivity issue with THC. It is always a combination of a physiological and psychological sensitivity. I personally experiences many symptoms like this; just not as severe, when I started smoking. The only cure is to smoke more or not at all.

It took me a good 3 weeks of smoking 2+ times every day before I no longer experienced the negative side's of weed (especially the mental sides), and finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel that all my fellow potheads were in. I always wondered how they could smoke so much, let alone, enjoy it.

I say give the binge a try or decide that weed just isn't for you.

Good luck!
 
Allergy to mary jane?

I read in a mxe thread that they took mxe and felt nitrous-esque effects. someone suggested that that feeling indicated an allergy. For a while when i smoke weed, i get that feeling along with paranoia and what feels like asthma. Is it true that the nitrous feeling could mean that i am indeed allergic to cannibus? Could these be symptoms of something else? Perhaps just too high or something? Is there some way to bipass the allergy and keep smoking? I cant imagine what my mental health would be like without marijuana =(
 
Weed Hypochondria?

Sometimes my lungs feel like they are tight after i smoke bud, and sometimes i think i could have lung cancer. These are re occurring thoughts after i smoke weed sometimes, not at all times though. Im young just got done with high school a year ago. Does this sound like paranoia, or hypochondria? The pain last at most for ten seconds and then disappears. I wanna believe my thoughts are stressing me to the point of the pain, and not be something bad. Any feedback is great.
