alright i'll try to be short and sweet with this and i've tried to explain it before and its not easy so bare with me.

so i dont smoke weed very regularly any more only on occasion. last night i smoked a blunt with two other people. now this has happend maybe five times. after i smoke i freak out. i thought it only happend when i was drunk so i smoked again last night without drinking to see if it still happend and it did worse then ever. i was really warm but shivering violently, even when i tried my hardest i could only focus for maybe 3 seconds. imagine somone holding up a picture and telling you to focus on it and then rippiing it away and putting a new one up every 3 seconds for like 3 hours? time was going by very very slowly. i would try to watch tv and would focus and then almost like snap out of it. i couldnt feel my hands or feet. so then i thought i was having a panic attatch and everything revolved around that in my head. it was almost like a trip. when i laid down all i could hear was my heart and it was beating so fast i thought it was going to explode. i started to get really twitchy. the only medical condition i have is a heart murmur. could this be a panic attack or any allergic reaction to weed or what? i still feel a little out of it today but the other times i felt fine the next day. anyone know whats up?
 
chances are you were dehydrated. The best thing to do when you are having a freak-out like that is to drink some fluids, take a seat and do something comfortable (like watch some tv or a movie or w/e). If you don't have that option, take deep breaths.

Everybody reacts to smoking a little differently, and some people just can't handle the paranoia/rise in heart rate that comes with it.

Chances are you were RIPPED of your gourd too.... considering you hardly smoke, and you shared a blunt between 3 people.
 
eee i only read the first half of your post.... pot is pretty bad for your heart... it raises your heart rate but lowers your blood pressure... and your heart murmur probably made this a bunch worse... i'd stay away from the pots if i were you... you probably wont die from smoking.... but you might die from a stroke/heart attack.
 
hahaha wordd you were just super stoned, dont smoke as much next time if you dont want it to happen but you basically just described how it feels to be really high, control those panic feelings though, it might be a little hard at 1st but they'll go away the more times you smoke. I'm not saying smoke more haha if you dont like it then stick to dinking.
 
bad high. your mind while high just sent your sympathetic nervous system into overdrive, causing a fight or flight response (all the anxiety/physical symptoms you had), which in turn confused/accelerated the fuck out of your already high brain, freaking you out even more.
unhealthy? probably not really, doubt it would affect your murmur much (unless a doc has told you to avoid strenuous activity or something). in medicine we would call that an allergic reaction if that consistently happened to you. i myself am considered mildly "allergic" to caffeine, since i have grown sensitized to it and will get extremely anxious if i have a large amount of it (like a triple size energy drink).
no harm really, i personally would not keep smoking if i had an uncomfortable experience every time.
 
you need to smoke good weed too. good weed makes you feel nice and not panicked like this weed did for you. not necessarily the most potent but good weed is nice.
 
i'de say smoking weed ain't right for you. Sometimes i freak out a little bit, but then I regain my composure.

One time when I was reallly hammered I smoked medical bud with my friend, and i absolutely flipped out. I was so fucked up i had trouble walking, and it felt like there was a constant ringing coming down from the sky. I then got myself to believe that i was in the truman show. I then told everyone in the room to fuck off and kill themselves. I then went to bed.

but yea, we all have bad experiences. after that i decided to lay off the medical bud, because it seriously fucked me up.

try smoking less next time, and slowly build up
