Nodding Out

[VegasFulham]

I have recently started smoking again to deal with anxiety issues. It has helped, but whenever I smoke a lot, I start to nod out. It feels like the high I had when I was doing opiates. This happens even with sativa strains. Is this normal? I also get dizzy. I have to ask because it's making me miss the other shit I was doing and I don't want to go back to that.

Weed-induced narcolepsy. Get'cho ass to a doctor, mang.




nah, fuck if I know. I'm thinkin' you just get real tired when you smoke-- most likely not narcolepsy, though, just fuckin' around with that.

If you were falling asleep like that when not high I would be concerned but otherwise, yes, it is normal by the sounds of it.

Yeah, with heavy indicas and alot of the synthetic cannabinoids I get the same thing. Feels pretty good, but annoying if you have shit to do.

Is the feeling preceded by one of stimulation?

 

[foolsgold]

i bet its the weed thats been covered in some noid

The strains of green I get are so potent, if I smoke A LOT like you state, I get tired (super tired) and dizzy. I think maybe your smoking some creeper and you are smoking to much. Smoke a little, wait 30 minutes and smoke a little more and see what happens.

you are either getting to high for your toleranc on regular weed or fucking with synthetics

 

[RobotRipping]

the mention of whether it's a stimulating high (OP mentions sativa i think) vs a sedating high has some bearing. I find I can nod on speed for whatever reason and on opiates of course, and benzos but not on cannabis but OP said he was smoking a sativa and nodding out when it'd be more reasonable to see an indica causing this effect (of course OP may not be 100% on his strain or whatever). Either way, nothing to be worried about. switch strains or smoke less.

and yeah most synthetics make you pretty spacey (to the point of nodding) but it's hard to tell as some strains of cannabis can do the same thing.

ive nodded on speed and weed at the same time before. tbh its pretty normal... the euphoria just relaxes you to the point of sedation. thats been my experience with it. if the nod is reminding you of opiates and youve struggled with them in the past its probably a good idea to either stop getting that high or stop getting high altogether

 

[WeedIndeed]

Have you tested the weed? like, with a drug testing kit?

 

[illn3ss]

What specific strain? Maybe just your tolerance, but any narc is gonna do that.

His weed was not laced with opiates. Nobody really does that.

This is what I try to tell my friends all the time!! People don't lace weed!

My friend was trying to convince me that this weed we got one time was laced with Meth. I told him he was retarded and that it was just good pot. He didn't believe me of course. However, I had an unexpected drug test the day after we smoked and neither Amphetamines or Methamphetamine come out positive in the drug test (only THC :/ ) But even to this day he still swears up and down that it was laced with Meth.
