[MEGA]Idiosyncratic/Unusual Responses to Cannabis

I have been asking people for ages if they've experienced anything like that time when I ate (way too much) weed and ended up dancing in the hospital but nobody has ever noticed anything remotely similar happen to them. It started out with my panicking, which led to a visit to the hospital, and then when it really started to kick in, I became unresponsive - what I mean by this is that I was literally unable to reply to people asking questions. Then, I started dancing in the hospital and singing (if I recall correctly).

When I came round, all the nurses were absolutely sure that I had taken LSD or magic mushrooms, since that response to cannabis is most definitely very unusual. It's not happened since, but I always wonder what the hell happened.

I guess it must have been depersonalization. However, I've not heard of reports of depersonalization causing people to actually dance around like an idiot.
 
I think you were just too high :) ive never lost control on any substance. I've been delirious. But I always kept it in the back of my mind that I'm just tripping
 
Oh and remember, weed can cause psychotic breaks in individuals who are prone to it. You might have had that.
 
^ I'm erring on the side of believing it was depersonalization rather, as I wasn't delusional or paranoid in any way. Could be wrong though...

Buy yeah, saying I was too high is an understatement! I was a novice then and didn't know how much was too much, to my detriment unfortunately.
 
Depersonalization is when you feel like your watching yourself live but aren't controlling your actions. Sort of like auto pilot. It's a dissociative disorder so you really feel like your out of your body watching yourself live. Was it like that? Or did you just feel really compulsive

I can't talk when I'm stoned anymore. I just lose all my energy for social interaction, and become a robot.

Even with my girlfriend, who I can pretty much be around in any state (except stoned).
I lose all tone of voice, and have generic answers to everything.

If the phone rings I won't answer it.

I still enjoy being stoned, but pretty much only by myself when I have nothing to do at all.

Anyone relate ?

Exactly the same man. I took a two week T-break and the lack of desire/ability to speak started to go away. I'd like to try a month. Does just keeping smoking to a minimum help you?

Dont get me wrong when I say this, cause I used to love smoking. Ive been smoking for like 4 years and it used to bring out the best in me, everyone used to tell me that I was hilarious and fun to be around while I was high, i wouldnt stop talking, and everything was just better.
Over time i feel like i started getting burned out on weed. I stopped being funny, and instead i started getting really quiet around people while I was high. I would just get lost in my thoughts and end up not saying anything, even when i tried to join a conversation it felt like it was just moving too fast and i was worried about what everyone would think, or if i would come off stupid. That kind of shit never used to happen to me. I wasnt exciting or funny or spontaneous anymore like i used to be.
It affected me while I wasnt high too, during the week at school, i realized i wasnt talking to as many people anymore, i wasnt as outgoing or social. During these weeks I usually smoked every night before school, or just on the weekends. People started telling me that i changed and were asking me what happened and shit which was annoying so i started thinking that weed kills your personality, so i took a break for about a month.
After the first month i started getting my mojo back lol. I started getting a lot more social again and relaxed, i was making people laugh all the time and started making friends with people i never used to associate with. I started pullin waaay more girls than when i was smoking too. Basically my personality came back after i stopped smoking.

None of my friends who smoke could relate to this, and im wondering if anyone else thinks or experienced their personality being killed by smoking too much. and also i was wondering why the high from smoking tree isnt the same anymore, most of my friends say they still get the same feeling that they did the first few times they smoked

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.
It's really comforting to hear that one can gain their mojo back in full after they get to this point.
 
Im wondering if you can call this unusual or not...
Whenever I smoke nowadays, or atleast in the past few months, While I'm high I tend to get hungry but then when I eat, I end up really full really fast and eat very little... Less than I would had I been sober

I don't get my appetite back till hours after, and if I stayed high it woulda stayed that way..

Strange but I guess it helps with weight loss and health... I also find sports to be...more intense but a lot easier at the same time? Don't know how to explain it but its funner, and I preform much better... strangely haha..

Haha I remember the old days when I used to skateboard... Smoking made it so much more intense and it seemed to go in slow motion so I could land tricks perfect :) The high is what you want it to be. Thats what I believe. I have friends who smoke and just feel tired and heavy, yet I feel psychedelic and energetic. I think It has to do with what I thought being high was going to be like before I did it. I always pictured it just like it is now.. and my mind did the rest.
 
Most of my friends as well as myself go through very similar problems.

I think a lot of it is that since you smoke all the time, you are constantly coming down off your weed high and it is constantly taking away your appetite.

Weed also makes it somehow easier to skip meals.

Once you skip meals somewhat regularly it leads to nausea.

If you totally stop smoking weed. You will find that when sober you can't get away with skipping meals. You would go insane from hunger. I don't mean sober for a day Give it a week or two. Force yourself to eat. Even though eating can be a chore it will help with everything.
 
Take a break. See how you feel afterwards - try a week or two. Stick to protein shakes, peanuts, things with high carbs and protein levels. Lean meat like chicken would be good, or starchy carbs from pasta or rice.
 
SWIM needs advice. SWIM want to get stoned!

"I was 14 years old in 2004, I was using marijuana at least once a week back then. I would enjoy getting high very much, and I did it often. One day I toked up with some friends out in the woods outside the trailer park we lived in. We all passed a joint around and shared it evenly between the three of us. When the effects set in I immediately blacked out, but was still standing there with my friends. I beleive this lasted no more than a minute. After I came back to I seen my two friends standing there but my vision was extremely impaired. I had never experienced visual distortions from marijuana until this point.

Another thing a remember is that time seemed very distorted and I was having trouble understanding what my friends were saying as I felt they were talking slowly. Everything seemed very slow. The world around me had completely changed and I didn't understand why. I was very frightened and told my friends that I was going to go home. I walked back to my house, took a shower, and laid down for a while. The effects eventually ceased and I sobered up.

A few days later I was at my friends house and my friend had some weed. We decided to smoke out of his pipe. We both had a couple of bowls and sat down and waited a few minutes for the effects to set in. (After my last experience I figured it was a fluke, and it probably wouldn't happen again.) It did happen again. It felt exactly the same way as the last time. I was quite terrified but didn't show it in front of my friend. I went into the other room to watch TV alone thinking I just needed to be alone until this feelings goes away. It eventually faded in the following hours and I was fine.

A week or so later I bought a dime sack from someone at school. I got home that afternoon and rolled all my weed up and put the joints in my cigarette pack with my cigarettes so I wouldn't lose them. Later on, I went outside alone to the woods and smoked one of my joints. It set in and had the same scary effect from the last two times. I immediately put the joint out, put it away, and walked back to my house and laid down. I eventually came down and went to sleep that night.

I woke the next morning normally and went to school as I did(almost)every weekday. I was sitting in my desk in my first class of the morning and was talking to my friend behind me as the teacher had not came to class yet. I talked to him about my experience with marijuana the previous day. As I was talking the feeling came back! I had not smoked anything that day. It just showed up out of no where. I continued to have altered vision, slowed time, and anxiety throughout the day.

It had been almost three days and it still didn't go away, so I finally talked to my grandfather about it. (who I was living with at the time.) I explained to him that I wanted to be seen by a doctor. When I go to the doctor they run some tests after I explain the situation to him. He tells me that he can't find anything wrong with me and also that he found no traces of marijuana, or any other drug, in my system. This confused me as I know for a fact that a had smoked just a couple of days before. The major thing that worried me wasn't that, but the fact that I was in what I could only explain as living in some type of dream or nightmare.

Throughout the following months I had been seeing a couple of psychologist/psychiatrists. I had a difficult time explaining to them what was going on, they seemed to beleive what I was telling them was impossible. But I knew that the effects of the marijuana had not worn off. The effects lasted about a year in all, and eventually diminished. The more time that went less it was there. It finally ceased all together and I no longer felt the effects at all. To this day I don't know whether the effects went away, or if I just got used to them to the point of ignoring them all together.

Since all that happened I have not smoked marijuana at all. I still have some of the same friends and I have been around marijuana many times but never partook in it. Since then I have drank a lot, (way more than any of my friends),and used hydrocodone on a pretty regular basis. I would really like to be able to use marijuana again as I know that I would slow down (or perhaps stop all together) on alcohol/pills. I know these things are way worse for my body than marijuana. I greatly enjoyed smoking marijuana earlier on in my life and wish to again.

My questions are: What could have caused the strange effects that marijuana had on me earlier in my life? Does anyone else have similar experiences? What advise would you give me about smoking again? Should I or not? I would appreciate some honest and intelligent feedback."

Sidenote:
SWIM knows what he smoked was marijuana, he is and was very familiar with the plant before this occurred. SWIM has thought of the possibility of the substance being laced. SWIM's friends were not effected in the way he was, so SWIM thinks this is not the case. SWIM's psychiatrists had diagnosed him with HPPD. SWIM believes this diagnoses to be a mistake because marijuana was the only substance consumed. SWIM would defiantly like to know how these effect may have lasted nearly a year, and how it kicked in the day AFTER marijuana use.
 
we dont use that ridiculous acronym here on BL.
saying swim or whatever bullshit wont help protect you legally whatsoever.
nobody is retarded, we ALL know you are talking about yourself.


even the police monitoring these sites.

have fun swimming round in circles you paranoid stoner.
oh, also, i didnt read anything you posted.

TL;DR (too long, didnt read)


generally if there is "SWIM" in the title or opening line, it signals "no point in even reading any of this pap"
 
1.Please dont use SWIM here we are not dumb cops are not dumb using SWIM will not help you in court if police seizer your computer.2 what you having is panic attacks the dope you're smoke is probally SUPER strong and ya just can handle it....Next time you smoke have 2-4 drags of a joint snuff it out and wait a full 10 mins if you dont feel anything spark it up again and take another 2-4 drags keep doing this until you feel the effects.....Pot can be out of your system within 5 days if you dont smoke very much....I think.....Hope this helps mate :)
 
I appreciate the advice, and yeah, i'm just used to using "SWIM". Hell, I catch myself using it in RL conversation sometimes. Guess there is no point in criminalizing myself though. Anyway, panic attacks still don't seem to explain all that happened. It sure would be hard to live another year like that, especially since my life requires a lot more responsibility these days.
 
OK guys, I think he knows not to use SWIM. OP, if you don't feel comfortable saying that YOU did something, then you shouldn't talk about it at all. SWIM offers you no protection, saying that "SWIM did x" is exactly the same as saying that "you did x".

Strange effect from smoked cannabis

Hello :)

Before going into details, I should give you a little about my background. I'm 20 years old, quite healthy, smoke cannabis quite regularly, occasionally drink and smoke cigarettes. Also, I do not use any medication or any other drug.

So, lately I've began to notice a really worrying effect from a good amount of cannabis. Sometimes when I'm REALLY high I experience a quite strange feeling, which can only be described as a sudden and powerful jolt going through the nerves in my head, which is especially strong in my teeth, as if I've put a battery in my mouth. It happens in unpredictable fashion and doesn't cause any other long-lasting effects. However, I just can't get rid of the thought that this feeling might be a sign of something really bad.
 
I'd lower your dose. After about 3 years of smoking I began to develop dull shooting sensations that branched out from my spine outward whenever I smoked. I used to vape a bowl pack worth to myself which was too much. Eventually this went away and if I smoke too much now I get a burning feeling in the back of my neck and lower back. Haven't experienced anything quite like what you're saying though, but your body can start to reject the drug after prolonged use which could be possible in your situation.
