Wondering if the use of Synthetic Cannabinoids has seriously damaged me

[AphexSwim]

Hey, well my fiancee made a blend of synthetic grass using am2201 and am2233, I smoked it a for a couple of days and had no problem, liked it. But one day I think I smoked too much or something, and had an extreme overdose, didn't go to hospital because I thought I would just ride it out.. don't really wanna explain it its not very nice, but I lay down and got over it and was fine by the next day. But since then I have been noticing little things that arn't quite right. For example Id say almost every day I have a pounding headache, I feel as if I have an irregular heartbeat although I went to doctors and they checked my blood pressure and said it was fine? I have also had unbearable tinnitus and iv heard that am2233 can lead to this? I feel very anxious and uncomfortable and havnt been able to smoke green since because it brings back those feelings (and I really want to smoke green again) Please can someone help explain? Or am I just being paranoid???

ps- can you keep this thread here instead of moving it to Cannabis discussion because Im on the dark side (haha)

Sounds like a break from everything might be the best thing. Eat healthy, do breathing exercises for anxiety, and get plenty of good sleep. We can leave this here but don't forget the TDS guidelines are slightly different so just keep that in mind when you are talking about what you still want to do.

The problem with most full agonist cannabinoids is that they cause panic/anxiety.

I would avoid RC cannabinoids for the rest of your life. Over time, you should balance out.

Synthetic cannabinoids are shit man, seriously stay away from them. Either smoke Cannabis or go without, if you care about your mind/self.

yep I have tried all illegals LSD,mushr,H,Coce, Weed ,XTC ,no problem ...I tried AM-2** because I didnt want to find a weed dealer ...guess what.. I am f$#$# from that day on...No you are not paranoid ,try to learn to live with it, you will become if you keep on thinking on it and thinking its permanent ...yep it only needed 1 time 1 moment to ruin my life ...and for what? because the law keeps natural weed illegal ...fukcdfing politicians
ps.I didnt want to take the benzo route at the beginning either but I did at the end..I was freaking out with my bad luck..now SSRI and benzo... I also went to the police and made a complaint about it ...they did nothing ...they said I had to contact some consumer or consumer safety org cause AM-** is not illegal...but weed is..thank you society

Synthetic weed is so dangerous because the chemicals are a mystery. I witnessed a man at the shelter having a psychotic reaction to it. It took 4 staff members plus a cop to hold him still so we could take his vitals. He was a big guy, 6'2 screaming and crying he thought he was dying. He got very combative with the paramedics and fell off the gurney, busting his head open. It's a scene I won't soon forget.

After that incident, I told my son about it and he admitted he tried it. I would rather see him use real marijuana (not now, once he's grown up) You don't know what's in that crap and I'm glad it's been banned here.

the problem which I happen to know is indeed identified by police consultants is the prohibition of natural marijuana ...kids ,youth pass by a headshop you know the ones with the bongs etc..and they can buy from a legit shop ,with receipt and with... Good Morning Sir how can I help you..
can you get me this legal marijuana stuff? "..YEs sure its 25pounds" here you go ...ok bye..
no instructions no warnings because its not for consumption..so unless they soon legalize weed ,or banning every possible substance and also controlling all what comes from china..it can not be done due to international trade and WTO etc..so unless they want a generation that will turn to RC and all those chemicals they will make some progress on legalization ...I had at that time contacted all the authorities in the UK about the issue ..no reply..but if you read studies from some police advisors and policy advisor you will see that they suggest legalizing and also before that happens to look in forums etc to identify new substances in order to ban them immediately..but imo they have done zero progress in neither of that advices..

That's just a problem with drugs being illegal in general. Odd that legal drugs are more dangerous than their illegal brothers and sisters.

OP I'm glad you've made the decision to stop using drugs, I suggest alcohol abstinence for a while would be ideal to allow your body full recovery.

not really , but in general yes of course , but for marijuana and herbal blends specially is different cause we are not talking about processed coca leaves we are talking about full natural product ,while kids believe that blends are similar ,while its pure chemical

doesn't really matter if it's natural or not. Synth noids are just too strong for most to handle, unless you have a huge tolerance just stay away from them. I've smoked numerous ones for months at a time, yeah it made my anxiety worse at times and helped it others. It's the same way if i get too high from regular cannabis, i get anxious but the right dose i'm fine.

If you haven't been using them for months and months i would just pass whatever you're feeling off on something else, likely just anxiety. That overdose probably brought some shit on as you don't even want to talk about it which is causing the residual anxiety. It will go away. I can only take like 1-2 hits off a vaporizer or i get too high and feel like i've smoked am-2201 or something so from here on out you just have to be careful. I don't smoke cannabis the same at all anymore, i smoke a few times a day, 1-2 hits each time when i would smoke 3 grams a day in the past. If i don't smoke at all one day i don't really even care or notice. I also quit for like 5-6 months before trying cannabis again.

This sounds just like me, and my relationship with cannabis. I've always avoided the synthetics, I've heard around here people get nosebleeds, and panic attacks are really common when smoking the shit. It really is garbage, and its highly addictive. Way worse than weed. I smoked a couple of them, it was ridiculous you get so high for a short duration of time, then it wears off just as fast and you want more.


Anyway, I used to smoke weed heavily, now I can just chill on 2-3 hits like Robot. My main gripe with weed right now (not synthetics) is that it just leaves so much residual laziness.....the anxiety I've learned to work through, and honestly it feels like its de-fragmented my mind a little bit from fucking with opiates. Which is good! But now I'm not smoking because it just lasts too long....lol I really don't want to feel lazy for 8-9 hours after I smoked.
