Adverse affect of marijuana...it was crazy. ?

Question

I once smoked some really strong weed. I took eight hits off a pipe and something very weird happened. Well yes I actually hallucinated but when I went back to the house I was staying at to sleep, I started to twitch and thrash about. I was completely aware of what I was doing, but my head would jerk and my legs were shaking so fast that they were just about vibrating. It was very radical and abrubt twitching from my head to my toes...it lasted about an hour and a half...at one point I started to hyperventilate, I can't believe pot could have done that to me. Can anybody explain what happened.

I also had a friend who can't really tolerate alcohol and he fell asleep after drinking...a moderate amount. And he started doing the exact same thing I did. Twitching, except he was completely non-responsive until I slapped him. He then got up and started to run out of the house in his boxers and he ran down the street...even after he had slept for three hours he freaked out, just like I did. What is this?

Answer 1

hahaha, you guys sound like some pretty exciting people, lol.

I think its a good thing that happened to you though, it will prevent you from doing it again maybe, or even worse geting hooked.

Anyways, i heard pot has different effects on different people, someone even told me it had no effect at all.

Again, at least this will probably prevent you from doing that again. Since it ain't that good for you...

Answer 2

I smoke weed every day, but if I go a few weeks without then the first hit  coming back makes me twitchy. Doing it now and then and doing it all the time are two different experiences (something which your pothead friends may not realize - YOU do not need 8 hits, one is plenty when you aren't a burnout.)

Answer 3

I think your pot was laced with something else!

Answer 4

Here's exactly what happened: you smoked way too much weed too quickly and had a panic attack. No worries.

About the alchohol, I don't know why that would happen (I don't drink)

When you get strong weed, you smoke one hit, then wait ten minutes. If you aren't high yet you smoke another. Rinse and repeat. Because marijuana is an illicit substance there is no controls on it's production and therefor it's potency is unknown. You have to be careful and pace yourself. There's always a limit when it goes from a good high to a bad trip and you just took it too far without knowing what was happening.

(unless this doesn't really happen to other people... in that case it may have brought out a latent psychosis and staying away unless you impose strict limits is a good idea)
