(Mental) Nausea after smoking? (merged)

[Splatt]

I've been smoking cannabis for about 3 and a half years, and I have gone through a series of problems, such as anxiety stages, paranoia stages, social paranoia stages. I have managed to work out most of the above problems, but there's one I've been getting for quite a while now, which is nausea after smoking.

It doesn't seem to matter too much if the weed is spun with tobacco or not, or even the strain of weed. But I guess tobacco makes it worse as I get this with smoking cigarettes too. Maybe it is just smoke in general thing.

But, I do find, if there is people around and I'm engaged in conversation with them, or I am doing something, like getting involved in a computer game, I can bypass this stage quite easily. It is when I'm alone it likes to happen, starts in the form of cotton mouth, and quickly works it's way into a need to either burp or be sick. And burping is hard for me in this state, I never had the strongest stomach. And I had Ulcerative Colitis a couple years back, which may also be a cause.

However, most of the time, if not all, I can pass this nausea stage just by having a bite to eat. Like a cracker with cheese, piece of meat, bit of left overs.. just nothing too dry.. so I'm really berginning to think this is more of a mental issue? I mean, the smoke triggers soemthing.. mostly cotton mouth or dry throat, but my brain kind of goes into a nausea state? The eating thing must surely be placebo, but it works.

This is probably a problem only I get, so sorry if the thread seems selfish.. but I just wanted to know what people think, or possibly find people with simular smoking problems.

Are you swallowing smoke?

 

[Splatt]

I could be swallowing a bit.. Coz every now and then I need to burp after smoking, and sometimes smoke comes out.

 

[sOn]

yea my head hurts like a mofo now cause i been hitting the j so hard and i burp up smoke like every hit. i never thought it was this. lol i need to learn how to smoke....but why has it just started to hapen though?

 

[hashish2020]

Take smaller quicker hits. Usually I'll swallow when I try to take monster hits.

 

[Splatt]

Yeah I always take huge hits.. Wole packed cone/bowl an inhale.

But What's the go with being able to stop it from just having a bite of something, or a drink of something flavoured. Weeird!

 

[asianfreek]

maybe the food or liquid pushes the vomit down, or its just settling your stomach?

 

[Splatt]

Probably.. The main thing is I can't really find a useful placebo to stop this... Breathing deeply even makes it worse... breathing softly doesn't change it. It's just I can't carry drinks and water when I go out etc...

 

[asianfreek]

do you drink water while you're smoking? i always drink water while im smoking and that always helps with the coughing and vomiting.

 

[Splatt]

I do find water helps at times.. But not always..

So does any one else ever feel the need to be sick after smoking?

 

[frizzantik]

my girlfriend gets sicks sometimes, but i think it's usually when she coughs a whole lot.

i suspect it's the smoke you're swallowing is doing it.. try to not rip such huge ones, or at least learn how not to swallow the smoke. Also dont spin your bowls since tobacco can make you naseous.

if these things dont work, try to carry an anti-acid lozenge or somethign with you (like Tums or Maloxx or somethign)

Maybe you been using a dirty bong, I never share my bong, my bong is for me only, I have other bongs that others can use and pack their own..... I never get sick or Nausea, the only time I get pretty feel bit weird is when some dickheads put too much tobacco and used buckets, and I am more likely to feel bit sick from the tobacco not the weed.

 

[Blowmonkey]

hmm, weird, nausea is supposed to dissapear with marijuana, also used medicinally for that property. but reading through a couple of replies and other threads just now, i came up with some sort of theory..

pot intensifies senses, just like it does with pain, like, it intensifies some and provides relief on other by taking it of your mind. think it's the same story with your nausea, it intensifies what you feel in your stomache (eg. empty, groggy, nausea, etc), if you don't have a sturdy stomach to begin with, it could become a little problem. with eating something you're filling your stomach and it settles right away what takes your mind of off it again. i don't know if this is the case, hell, noone does, even you don't, but it's just a theory.. hope it helps a little, think not, i come up with the weirdest stuff when i'm incredibly stoned..

 

[Penis McCockitycock]

I'd like to second what Blowmonkey said- marijuana is used to treat cancer patients that have gone through chemo because it calms nausea. I smoke when I get sick and feel vomit-y because it makes all the icky feelings go away. If you're nauseous from smoking, it's probably cause you're hungry, swallowing smoke, or just sick.

 

[Splatt]

Actually it's funny, when I'm feeling still sick after vomiting.. I have a bong straight away and it takes away that after-sick feeling.

 

[Liber]

Yeah, cannabis encourages your cannabinoid receptors that increase hunger and quiet nausea. Stop smoking tobacco with your green, that's just a bad idea all around. You want to smoke go ahead but try separating the two to see if that's it. Don't stop smoking though

Pot = Puke

I have a friend who loves to smoke pot. The only thing is he can usually only smoke out of a pipe and that is it. When he smokes blunts, tubes, and GB's he usually gets really sick. I do not know what the problem is.

Is it because he is so damn high or what?

All I know is I feel bad for my friend. He is just starting to get into the swing of things and he ends up back getting sick.

Does anyone have any advice or answers to what the fuck is going on here?

i think so, think it has to do with the quick onset and amount smoked, it may be a bit too much to go from nothing to wasted in a matter of minutes or seconds. or it could be that when you take large rips of off something that you swallow a bit of smoke what can be a bit nauseating. if your friend has so much trouble smoking anything besides a pipe, why does he go trough with it? just let him smoke his pipe if that's not causing any problems, most logical thing to do. ah well.. there was something similar a few pages back, check this for some other already given opinions.

I also had a problem with my best friend but it only happened when he smokes a lot or if it is very good marijuana
but after he got used to smoking he became fine with it and he could smoke as much as he wanted
i also heared taht ginger i verty good for people that get sick on marijuana, but i would just trust me try it yourself
