I once had a friend try to get to the airport because he was convinced myself and others were paid actors in an elaborate scheme to somehow get at him.

It made absolutely zero sense, but his girlfriend literally had to hold him to get him to stop packing a suitcase, as well as keep him from calling for a cab.

The oddest thing is, he was completely fine every time he smoked both before the freakout and after.

I think it's something that can just happen at times.
 
I've never "freaked out" on weed. Sometimes I do think I can hear knocking and shuffling noises when I'm in bed high, trying to go to sleep. I think that's paranoia maybe.

However, I have been known to wig out a little when I'm high and forget where I put things. For example, I thought I lost my bowl for about 2 hours one night near thanksgiving, staying at my parents' house. Of course I was still high. So, I cleaned (tore through) the guest room twice looking for it. I even had to have a little heart-to-heart with Mom about how I think I left the bowl somewhere in the house.

Eventually I remembered it was in my center console in the car outside. I just wanted to pack a bowl.

I've been fine since...
 
ive had one bad episode 4 years ago when i was on a seminar with a bunch of people i didnt know. i brought about 3 g of weed thinking there would be other smokers for sure. but i was the only so i smoked alone. i started thinking that the people attending looked way too much like my friends and coworkers. i began convincing myself that it wasnt a coincidence. a bunch of other weird stuff happened and my thoughts were just racing like crazy. i thought everything people said or did was somehow related to myself. i was scared shitless because i knew that these can be symptoms of mental illness (psychosis).

i didnt touch weed for half a year. after that i started smoking again and never experienced anything similar again.
 
About 6 years ago I was just getting in to smoking with my friends, and after becoming pretty stoned I started having some issues. I thought my teeth were numb(just really high and I was biting my lip or something) and my back seemed to be numb too.

I started to believe that I was forgetting to breathe, which was the worst! This caused me to start flipping out, breathing ultra fast and I was convinced that I was gonna pass out and die if I didn't recover my bodies natural breathing mechanism. So I started pacing around in circles(still hyperventilating) and at one point even rode a bike around the block, all whacked outta my mind.

After 2 hours of this I was still going, so I eventually got a friend to call an ambulance. They came, took me to the ER, and as soon as they gave me a gas mask + whatever was in it I came down and was fine. It was probably hysterical to a bunch of high people, but extremely frightening to me.

I didn't smoke weed for something like 5 years after that. Now that I'm back at it I still get some of the symptoms, like occasionally I'll feel like I've lost control and I'm on the brink of passing out, but I know it's just pot and I am fine. For some reason I have nothing but awesome experiences with other substances, and out of everything I've tried, weed is actually my least favorite drug.
 
The worst i've ever had is some of those first few times where you've smoked too muvh and the whole worlds spinning. Your hearts going a million bpm. Then you eat a little bit and get a grip and s'all good. :D


Tho had a friend run jump a fence go garden hopping, and not sotp running for like 10 mins until he got home because he thought the cop car that came flying past was for him. =/ We chased him down because he had all our weed in his pocket, he thought we were po chasing him...

most people I smoke with are fine though.

that never happens any more. i miss it. even after a few months break, i still don't get the dizziness like i used to. i also never smoke enough weed any more to pass out. it's like...impossible.
 
I've had so many freakouts on pot.

One time, I was at a house listening to my friend jam with his band. There were a lot of people around that I didn't know. I was smoking this frosty silver-green bud, but the effects took a while to come on, so I just kept smoking.

Suddenly, I got the impression that everybody at the house was sleepwalking. Like I was the only one truly awake or something. Even as I looked around me, I noticed people were making an effort to shield their eyes, like they were refusing to see reality as it was. I became convinced that a portal to another dimension was opening up in the ceiling.

Immediately I went outside to get away from it all. I stood outside in the dark, and the moonlight was passing through me like I was a clear crystal of gypsum. I became convinced that some of the people at the get-together were plotting to kill me. I went to tell my other friend that I was leaving. He has some emotional problems, so I knew he would understand. After leaving, I felt better instantly.

Other times, when smoking during a movie at night, I have gotten the impression that my actions were being recorded by some spy outside. It's not like I could be jailed for smoking pot or having under an ounce of weed, but a part of my mind sees all the possibilities, including the improbable ones.

Mostly my freakouts happen because of the high amount of energy pot produces in my body. If I'm not doing anything to work out that energy, it becomes a negative force.

Pot can be a tool for personal growth, a way to work out your fears by imposing them upon you. When used too often, if you fail the test too many times, it can put you into a state of non-growth.

dude ive done that too. including the bike ride lol
 
Last year I was toking up in my moms car that sits in my driveway....anyways....I was hotboxing it with a bong and needless to say I got really-really-blazed and started freaking out! haha Like pacing around my house just stupid shit...then I passed out woke up and smoked a birthday blunt with my friends got really faded and all was good!

Only one semi freak out out of 4 years of smoking....not bad I must say.
 
i have anxiety problems and sometimes when im faded i get stuck in thought loops. so that is very unpleasant, accompanied with extremely fast heart beating and headaches.

but im a very experienced smoker so i can just imagine myself in my happy place and its all good
 
Totally thought a bush shocked me walking back to my house after 2 bowls, my first time smoking tree. Ran into it torso first. Thats the only time i had tripped out that hard on weed.
 
One time after having an overly emotional argument i found i was conversing with myself :|

As in, i thought i was like 2 different people. When it dawned on me what i was doing i threw the rest of the zoot away and didn't smoke for a good few weeks. Hasn't happened since (touch wood)

every now and again i get paro that feds or suttin are watching me but the few times i have been confronted by real police i've always had the sense of mind to avoid trouble
 
Smoking marijuana now triggers flashbacks, where I go back to a moment of my most recent acid trip where I was absolutely sure I was going to die horribly. It stopped doing this for a while, but I got super stoned for 96 hours recently and now flashbacks have returned. I'll lay off the bud for a while and hope for the best.

So if I were to smoke up right now, I'd be fighting back a gruesome delusion. I'll think I'll just curl up with some zopiclone later.
