Bad effects of smoking??

Has anybody ever had a bad experience while smoking pot or know of someone who did? Bad experience like having a anxiety attack or thinking they were having a heart attack...or did have one? Just wondering.

 

when i get REALLY high i get sketched out and paranoid about the people around me

 

after i got caught smoking in my room i only did it again a couple times, and i always got real paranoid about the smell, thinking i could hear people outside the door or in adjacent rooms saying shit about me.

also i used to get really bugged out when high people would drive (dont care now)

but nah, not really.

 

x2

 

I used to get really paranoid about getting caught by my parents while high, but not anymore. I haven't been caught in almost a year now, so I figure I must be doing something right.

 

But have you ever heard of anyone having "anxiety attack" like symptoms after getting high. Shaking ....shaking really bad like you had just had the total shit scared out of you, labored breathing, heart pounding, feeling weak, chest feeling tight like someone sitting on it....these kind of things. Bad weed, anxiety attack, mild heart attack or just wigging the fuck out. I am asking because a friend of mine had this happen to him about a week ago and it scared him so bad now he doesn't want to smoke pot anymore for fear he might wind up in the hospital or worse.

 

i'm always paranoid when i smoke weed. usually about dying, but after a while i can bring myself down by repeating 'you're not going to die, it's all in your head', lol

 

I once ate 5 plates full of food at a Chinese buffet after getting really high and had to take a shit in their nasty bathroom.

You could call it a bad effect.

 

i lol'd

 

I think bad experiences are rare.

 

One night a few months back I burned through this huge bowl of dank and went into my living room to chill out and go online for a bit. I heard my moms voice call my name three times. I turned around and the room was dark and empty. I walked over to her bedroom and looked inside and she was fast asleep. That freaked the shit out of me... I just climbed in bed and pulled the covers over my face haha.

 

i had this happen to me one time a long time ago, i had a total anxiety attack. i didnt know where i was, what i was doing, i felt like i was falling off of the couch but was lying completely still, i thought i was dying, my heart was racing. this may be tmi, but i was on my period at the time and started freaking out about toxic shock syndrome from tampons and made my boyfriend call all over to the stores to get the info off the side of a tampon box. it was horrible, so i didnt smoke for a few months. then started smoking again and did for years. then suddenly i started to have anxiety every time i smoked, after smoking daily for 8 years, so i finally just gave it up. it just wasnt fun anymore. i havent smoked in almost a year now.

 

BAd effects of smoking every day. For me at least.

You're slower than people who don't smoke. Your memory is pretty terrible.

That's about it, but it does kinda suck.

 

When I was 17 (a little over a month after trying shrooms for the first time) I had a really bad experience with weed.Idk if it was really strong stuff or if it was laced, but I freaked the fuck out and even hallucinated a tiny bit.My heart seemed like it was beating in slow mo and I even heard crickets in slow mo as well.I could also feel my saliva disintegrate in my mouth.It was such a mind fuck because I was along for about 20 minutes and it felt like forever.Could've even been shorter.I had anxiety for a while after and didn't smoke for about 2 years or so.I started smoking regularly back in September though.I don't know when my mind will be ready to trip again.I loved shrooms so much.le sigh.

 

i freaked out hardcore on weed. thought i was possessed. no biggie though, i was a 2nd timer. I know people that get anxiety attacks when they get too baked.

 

yes, this has happened to me a dozen or so times. its an anxiety attack. concentrate on taking slow deep breaths and it will eventually pass. you are no dying, take a drink and keep concentrating on deep breathing.

Its all about mindset and setting, and somewhat about dosage. Ive had a anxiety attack after smoking one hit, though its easier to have one after smoking "a lot".

 

this chick i know used to smoke and she would just break out in panic attacks, like screaming and kicking her legs and stuff. it was just ridiculous. then some kids would try to make her have panic attacks.

also she'd have them in school, like right in the middle of lunch she'd just fall out of her seat, and just flip her shit.

 

Why would he do that?Some people are just fucked up and think it's funny to freak people out.

 

Perhaps for you.

Weed triggered my first panic attack, which was exactly what the thread starter mentioned - I thought I was having a heart attack and dying. This was the first time I had a truly bad experience on weed. I had a few more panic attacks afterward (always whilst high) before I learned how to deal with them. I still get some kinda nasty anxiety attacks sometimes but I'm capable of preventing it from escalating into panic attacks nowadays. Still, I almost always get severe anxiety for the first 10-20 minutes after smoking where I feel like maybe something is wrong with me or I'm gonna die - but I know its just anxiety so I deal with it pretty well, and its almost always completely gone within the time frame I mentioned (10-20 minutes), then I can just enjoy being stoned.

Weed almost seems theraputic for me in that sense. Its like all the pressure and anxiety I experience from day to day builds up until I smoke a bowl, which sorta opens the valve and lets it out all at once, then I feel great or at least just fine for pretty much the rest of the day.

 

i know, it was a dick move on their part.
