Should some people just not get high?

This is probably a dumb question, but I was wondering what other people thought about this-- are there just some people who just shouldn't ever get high?

See, I've smoked for years, and have always been cool with it, no paranoia or anything. But then about four months ago, I used a water bong for the first time-- that was insane! I freaked out so bad, shaking, thinking everyone hated me/was laughing at me, etc., that I actually vomited. Since then, it's been that way every time I smoke. the last time I tried smoking like I used to, I had to stop, and for weeks afterward I was just in this weird daze... like nothing seemed real anymore. Went to a shrink, and he said I was experiencing all the symptoms of psychosis. I'm so pissed off/afraid that it was the weed that screwed me up, and now I can't smoke anymore

So, should some just not smoke? Or has anyone had anything like this happen to them and do you think it'll go away eventually? Maybe i'm just too high-strung/over thinking everything... oh well

 

thats the exact reason why i quit smoking. i didn't have problems with money/parents or anything. but when i smoked, i would get paranoid about my body and hy heart. i would get so paranoid that, lik you, i would vomit. and this happened everytime i smoked after it happened that first time. so i'd maybe say 6 or 7 times? i kept smoking to see if it would go away, but it never did. so then i just decided that, even though i love the way marijuana treated me before, that it just wasn't for me anymore. now i smoke veerry rarely, which is good, since i developed chest problems.

edit: my chest problems are not smoking related

 

i think there were 2 threads about this earlier..
but yeah i agree with you some people should just not get high

 

Yeah..some people definitely shouldnt.
Different bodies react differently to different chemicals and that can change at any moment.

 

Weed has in part contributed to the onset of my social anxiety...
Give it another shot if it has the same effect , then probably smoking isnt worth the risk...

 

depends on the state of mind you smoke in... If you just roll with it, then things will go your way, if you have negative thaughts prior to smokin, then the weed will only intensify... Bottom line is weed can do whatever you want it to do... The weed never made you paranoid, it never made you vomit nor does it fuck with your heart... You do. The weed remains the same.

 

that happened to me twice before.. like 2 years ago i smoked out of a water bong, and then just recently when i smoked a couple bowls with my friends.
the first time i felt the same way you did with the shaking and freakin out and shit, and i just layed on the ground for awhile and waited for it to go away. the 2nd time which happened recently, i was standing around talking to my friends and everything started getting fuzzy and i felt like i was gonna pass out.. the next day i ended up smoking again and i have been fine ever since that.

like everyone else says, it could just be your mind thinking its gonna be bad, so your body reacts that way over and over.

i know this has nothing to do with weed, but it kinda relates to it.
my friend tripped on shrooms and had an extremely bad trip which left her crying and shaking in her room all night long.. maybe 2 months after that we decide to do shrooms, she started thinking that she was gonna have a bad trip like the one before, and guess what? she did have a bad trip.. i think shit like that is all in your mind. think positive

 

yep, i think everyone's right about the "if you're paranoid before hand/expecting a bad trip, then that's what you're gonna get... because i tried it again last night and it was great! woo hoo *rolls around like a happy little larvae

 

Being in a state of "unreality" and detachment is often related to anxiety. I have really bad anxiety and I have to take breaks for weeks and months at a time because it often becomes intensified with weed. I get "stuck" in the unreality, dazey stage for weeks sometimes. I just started a new anxiety program to manage it.

 

And the weed isn't what "screwed you up". Weed can bring underlying anxiety or depression to the surface though.

 

No, everyone should get high.

 

I think I am one of the shouldn't get high people. I've tried it and I really don't enjoy it. I feel more sick than anything else.
