I was wondering if somebody would be kind enough to answer a few questions for me. To avoid any confusion I am going to elaborate upon my situation beforehand. I am a recently new to the world of cannabis. I started this summer and my first smoking experience probably consisted of 5 hits off of some guys joint while I was at the lake for two weeks. My trip was pretty mellow. I felt as if all my joints in my body had had a healthy dose of axle grease. And there was a lovely symphony of music in my head. Fast forward to now I've probably smoked atleast 10 times. about 3 to 4 of those times I have been completely blown. I smoked probably 5 times in 2 weeks right before I quit for a month recently. The last time I smoked before I had quit (taken a break) i had probably had 10 hits off of a crappy aluminum foil bowl fitted onto an old soda bottle. And I had a fairly decent trip. My 'music' came back into my head... the walk home felt like it took ages when in reality it is only about 3 to 4 blocks. Now on new years eve my cousin had bought me a bong. So I light up half a bowl at midnight. It only took me 4 moderate rips to kill it. But I was so completely gone that I ended up rolling around on the couch for two hours watching Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure. But this is the worst part, I was so high it wasn't pleasant. It felt like my central nervous system was under attack. These repeating waves of energy were flowing out to my extremities constantly and unrelentlessly. And on top of that I felt trapped in my high. I would try so hard to focus on reality and sometimes I could maintain a sober state for 2 to 3 seconds and then it was gone and I would plunge back into the murk of my inner most thought processes. And this isn't the first time this has happened. Any other time I have felt I have smoked to much this has happened. I know that I have had enjoyable smoking experiences but I don't know what has happened. But I mean seriously 4 rips off of a bong did this to me after a months break. Can someone more seasoned please just help me out here? I do enjoy smoking but not if this is what its going to be like everytime from now on. I've even considered it as psychosomatic manifestations of my brain as far as the pulses of energy are concerned and the unpleasantness of the trip. But even that state of mind had no avail to stopping the strong dislike I had towards my trip.

Never underestimate the power of THC my friend. Those first few times are the best so enjoy.
So is this fuckin over stimulated wave like sensation in the nerves is normal? Because all my friends that smoke say they've never encountered it before. And I'm just blowed off my ass off of a god damn HALF BOWL OF MID. lol, man I didn't know you lost your tolerance so fast. Yea, I guess I should just take like 1 toke and wait 10 min... see how I feel. Take another toke. So on and so forth? Thank's for the help because it feels like I should have more experience after my tenth+ time but weed has been so god damn unpredictable for me. For me its pretty much impossible to know how high I am going to get ever. But it is also possibly due to the fact that I've been smoking so eratically.

You haven't really tripped untill you've taken psychedelics, your getting stoned and ya that sounds pretty normal

Lmao me too dude I really lol'd. But totally agree. The same thing happened to me when I first started regularly smoking. I have terrible anxiety so when I smoked too much I would have panic attacks and flip out and feel really terrible. But it will take its toll on you fast and you build a tolerance seemingly out of nowhere. Take it slow lil nigguh haha!
Much love

new wtoker, ur fine, its called- being stoned, RREALLY STONED

i too sometimes find myself "too high" but i know that it will eventually go away and i try to put it in the back of my mind and enjoy the experience. once i do this i am always fine and nothing bad has ever really happened. on another note, it also depends on what i am smoking. i could smoke a blunt of mids and be super high to the point that it is plain crazy and its hard to enjoy. on the other hand, i could smoke a blunt of white widow and be even higher but find myself enjoying every second of it. i believe that the white widow produces a very clean high and its effects are perfect in my book. i would also recommend purchasing a one hitter/dugout as this will allow you to really keep track of how much you are smoking.

Sounds like it's very mild paranoia. As many people have already said, pace yourself a bit and learn to welcome the high. I have a few friends I know who just cant smoke weed due to panic attacks or strong feelings of vulnerability and I guess you just gotta realise sometimes the dank isn't for everyone.

4 bong rips.. man you got to slow down if its you aren't a regular smoker. I and I'm sure a lot of others who smoke daily don't sit down and have 4 cones right off the bat.
buy a decent pipe/bong and take it 1 hit at a time.. you'll soon become familiar with the effects and will surely be able to function more than rolling around on the couch.. with time of course
. Enjoy that sensation whil it lasts

You seem to have very little experience. I got super baked when I first started smoking, which honestly I envy now. Enjoy this time.

Haha, 4 bong rips straight off the bat, jeez dude I smoke everyday and 4 straight hits off the bong is only done when i'm at a party or some shit, the kinda time you wanna be megablazed haha.
It also helps to not think of weed as a trip, it's nothing like trippin... (to me at least)

Just take one small hit, wait 10-15 mins, see how it is, then take another if desired. Sounds like you are naturally sensitive to THC so be careful for now. Tolerance to weed only builds up through prolonged, regular use; you haven't been using enough to develop any tolerance at all yet.

Agreed there, I find that the best quality stuff i.e. amsterdam strains have much less paranoia to them then the mid-range buds. Can smoke a lot and enjoy it a lot, yet too much lower grade can sometimes make me confused and paranoid a little bit.
