Hey,
I wanted to share a really bad experience that happened to me twice in the last year while smoking weed and taking st. johns wort and maybe someone knows what could have happened.
The first time it happened was at my friends home. At that point I was regularly drinking st. johns wort tea and was invited to smoke some weed with him and a friend. We shared a joint with highly potent weed (homegrown) and I took a few hits. Normally this dose knocks me out for a few hours but before that nothing major bad like this had happened. A few minutes later we went inside and I began feeling bad. I told my friend that I wasn't feeling that well and he took me to the toilet where I had to vomit a lot (also never happened to me before). After that I felt a bit better and went back to the living room and laid on the couch.
Then I began getting colder and colder and grabbed myself a blanket to warm me up, but it didn't help. This uncomfortable feeling got worse and I stared to shiver. The shivering got stronger very fast and after a few seconds I couldn't control my muscles anymore and my whole body began to shake very intensive. I was fully aware what was happening to me. After about 2-3 minutes the shaking stopped and my friends just gave me a really scared look because of that. A few minutes later the same cycle started again and came twice. The third time I think I went unconscious because I just can remember the beginning of it. They told me afterwards that I fell asleep and they carried me upstairs into my friends bed.
The second time happened at home about 9 months later. At this point I was taking a low dosed st. johns wort extract on a daily basis. I smoked a high dose (for me about 0,1g weed vaporized) together with some CBD weed and after a few minutes I had the same shaking as in the first incidence, but this time without vomiting, and it also wasn't that extreme, just very uncomfortable.
What is strange in my view beside this reaction is that I have smoked a much higher dose about 2 weeks before the second episode (same weed, also with st. johns wort), but it felt completely different, my muscles and my body even felt very relaxed. What I also have noticed is that both episodes happened at nighttime (after 11 p.m.), while at daytime this never happened. Maybe this could be relevant…
My first thought is hypoglycemia, because I never heard of anyone getting epileptic seizures from weed (I think that I wouldn't be aware what was happening if it was epileptic) and I also haven't eaten before the episodes, but I heard that THC could lower blood sugar levels, some maybe this could be a reason?
Does anyone have an idea what the trigger could be?
Btw sorry for my bad writing, I'm really tired but just needed to write this down
Thanks,
