[MEGA]Idiosyncratic/Unusual Responses to Cannabis

I've also suffered this before, I believe it to be a stress response but it may also be neurological in nature. I also suffer from dystonic like tics induced by stressful situations while sober but wouldn't be surprised if the two are related between years of cannabis use and amplified anxiety.
 
Does anyone else get a sort of allergic type reaction to handling certain types of cannabis? It's only about half of the time, so it varies with the strain but sometimes If I'm busting a lot of weed by hand or rolling multiple joints, I get a very histamine like reaction. Extremely itchy watery eyes and nose are the worst of them but they're sometimes; depending on how long I was exposed, really bad. To the point I can barely keep my eyes open. It's like really bad hay fever basically. It usually lasts for a couple hours after I'm done handling it too. I don't have any negative reactions to smoking any kind of cannabis though, it seems to just be handling it. I'm sure this is an allergic reaction, I'm just wondering if anyone else get's it or knows anyone who gets it. I seem to be the only one from everyone I've know personally.

To be clear, I do get pretty bad environmental allergies in the late spring.
 
Passing Out?

I'm bored and thought I'd start a discussion on passing out whilst/after smoking weed.

It has only happened to me once when I was taking a piss at my mates house (I can vaguely remember falling to the floor and awaking a short period later with my wang out an all luckily I had just finished pissing before I passed out :P, was slightly dizzy for a minute or two after), I was just wondering how common it is.
 
I've never heard of any one passing out like that from smoking Cannabis. Passing out as in falling asleep on a couch, sure. But fall to the ground passing out? Nah. That can't be a good thing. I doubt it's from the Cannabis too, but hey...I've been wrong before.
 
I passed out once from smoking weed. I was at a friends job smoking outside and then all of a sudden my vision went pitch black for a few seconds and the next thing I remember is waking up on the concrete. My friend said I was only out a few minutes.
 
I didn't pass out from weed but I did blackout hardcore, never happened before but I was with these three dudes and we all were smoking on a 5 gram blunt in the car (driving to this place in the city) and shit it was mixed with all diff high grade strains. I was straight domed to the head... One second I was here then I was gone. The thing when I blacked out I was still feeling sober and then I snapped back into it, turned to the kid next to me (lol this 15 year old in the back with me....this was when I was 17 and he wasn't my friend) but I start pointing at him and look on his face was like duuuude fuck I'm stoned and we both started cracking up. Let me tell you that high was so intense but we smoked more and more. I would feel speedy one second from the sativa and then couldn't move cause the indica would kick in.... You should of seen me try to get out of the car thought I was going to fall down the cliff we were near. Good day though.
 
I never understood why and how people fuck themselves up with pot. Its just pot!

@brimmy: Could just be a drop in blood pressure or a low blood sugar count. I highly doubt marihuana itself made you black out.Aldo there is always a possibility...
 
I think it mostly has to do with not eating than with pot, at least in my experiences. I have a friend that passed out a couple of times, literally dropped on me passed out once, after we had spent the night smoking, but he hadn't eat much all day, all the times. As soon as he woke up I always gave him something with sugar to eat so he could get a little energy.

Last week I was at the veterinary with my cat (I was pretty baked), out of nowhere my vision started to blur, I couldn't stand up anymore, started to sweat like crazy, I thought I was gonna pass out so I asked for a glass of water and after calming down it went away. I had only ate a bowl of cereal that day so i'm pretty sure it has to do with malnutrition.
 
I'm seconding the low blood sugar posts. not eating and smoking can make you pretty fucking grim, especially if your diet sucks anyway!

I've only ever done the standard falling asleep where im sat, which to me isnt passing out, its falling asleep..
 
Weed briefly reduces your blood pressure too. This compounds low blood sugar levels and can make you veryyyy light headed. I've passed out on holiday in a cafe waiting for my late breakfast after a heavy wake n bake.

Its just like hmmm I feel dizzy... and now I've just woken up on the floor... shit.

Why couldn't pot do that? Its still a drug and it has its effects which vary from person to person.
 
I know pot can do that;). For me, I just don't understand why people are willing to reach that unpleasant level:).
 
It has nothing to do with being willing, if it was their will I'm sure they would choose not to have negative effects.

Another new megathread! This time it's for all questions about unusual effects from cannabis. Next time you're about to start a thread asking whether or not anyone else gets *insert unusual effect* when stoned, post it here instead please. There are megathreads for some of the more common uncommon effects.

Ive done Ecstacy and shrooms before, as well as drink alot. I have gotten fucked up plenty of times. It feels like weed fucks me up alot more then it should though, does anybody else feel like this? I read about people smoking weed and almost not feeling anything... If I smoke too much (Fat dutch by myself) i am literally almost like "WTF is going on". Sound normal or is there a such thing as a low THC tolerance?

Some people even start experiencing cannabis anxiety after decades of occasional use and have to stop using altogether for that reason. I've heard that many times.

I actually the cannabis high consider more disabling than that of any other drug class except high doses of dissociatives, psychedelics and anticholinergics. Most hard drugs allow you to function really well in every day life, especially opiates and stimulants.

Cannabis is one helluva drug. Sometimes I wonder why I constantly feel the need to fuck myself up when there's cannabis. I will take just about any drugs, given the dosage is reasonable, on a regular morning or afternoon when I have tons of shit to do, but will not get stoned before the day is over lol. The strongest high awaits in the form of my aromatic plant species friend. Once I'm high, I will often not even leave my apartment to get my laundry done in the cellar, that's how anxious and self conscious pot can make me. ;D

Yeah, I used to say weed fucks me up just as much as anything else... it is one helluvadrug for sure.
 
You just have a low tolerance to THC man. I'm 19 years old and I've been smoking weed since i was 14. I've done all different types of drugs, ones that potentially get you WAY higher then weed. LSD, Coke, Ecstasy, etc. But even to this day, when i smoke weed, i get super blown. So blown that it almost feels like i'm tripping. No, i don't mean tripping like i'm hallucinating or seeing psychedelic shit. I mean tripping like i'm super disorientated and super dazed. So disorientated and dazed that is makes it really hard to focus on shit. Even if i smoke weed everyday for a whole month, i still get supper high off of like 3 hits. I just have a low tolerance to THC.
 
Tolerance could only be part of the puzzle for some, after smoking for years and being quite tolerant... cannabis eventually did get the best of me. A lot of people use drugs other than weed and weed just happens to fuck them up more then anything else... not in a good way either.

There's no doubt in my mind that in general veteran smokers find it far easier than a novice to function whilst under the influence. I think this is partly due to becoming accustomed psychologically to the effects of the drug, but also partly due to a tolerance effect. I know people that appear perfectly sober after having smoked what would be a heavy dose to most newbies, to the point of being okay to work or study with few problems.

But after years of heavy use cannabis can start to have unwanted and unpleasant effects on the mind. It goes without saying that it's important to occasionally take drug holidays and when using, to moderate your usage to a sensible degree and to not become habituated to it so that you find it difficult to do without on a daily basis as a crutch. I simply cannot tolerate a level of high that many would be very comfortable with, and as a result find I need to take extremely small doses, wait 10-15 minutes and then repeat and so on until I have titrated up to the desired level. Otherwise if I'm too impatient it will just result in a disorientating and uncontrollable panic which is no fun whatsoever for me or those around me.

Respect the herb and it will treat you well. ;)
 
Has anyone else ever got this while smoke weed?

Right this will make me sound pretty stupid. But basically, when I'm pretty high sometimes when I have a burp coming up and can feel it I used to think that it was actually me about to be sick and then that would start off a endless cycle where I would prang myself out, get all anxious etc. and have to go lie down. But now I realise what it is and it doesn't bother me, in fact I have it right now and I'm just chilled as fuck (not really high though just a little bit stoned).

So, anyone else had similar experiences? I'm not really on about general anxiety, but about thinking that your burp is you about to be sick.
