    Hi all. I smoked my first joint in 10 days this morning and I got really sick. Started to throw up quite a lot. Eventually, I just fell asleep, woke up several hours later feeling alright.

    Does anyone know why this could have happened and/or how to prevent it in the future. (It has only happened 3 times in 2 years of smoking)

    Really don't feel like getting sick again later today, so any advice would be appreciated.

    um, maybe your green had something in it, like a pesticide or other chemical. i've never been sick from weed, unless you count eating too much from the munchies.

    I doubt it had anything in it. I live in Africa and the stuff is pretty clean all the time. As for over-eating: I didn't eat anything before getting sick. I had breakfast, but that was before smoking.

    what does living in africa have to do with the purity of your green? if anything, you're more likely to have ingested or inhaled fecal matter, which would make you sick.

    you rolled a joint? with what?

    it could also be purely coincidental. you could have had food poisoning or something.

    My first though was the same as Vig's, could be something in it.

    How long have you been smoking? When I was younger I puked one night after really inhaling some really strong weed. Though I had also eaten some Burger King for dinner an hour previous so it could have been that.

    I can't see why good clean weed would make you throw up, unless as Vig also said, it was a coincidence.

    they don't use nearly as many (if any) chemicals because it's not grown by people who can afford them. lol. i guess that second bit is possible but i don't think that's it. i've been sick 3 times and each time was in a different country with completely different weed

    i just used rizla -straight out the box

    I have thrown up a few times. Usually what happens is I get to coughing and end up swallowing smoke the I feel sick. This only happens to me in the morning after I have brushed my teeth.

    another thing is that smoking anything makes your body think it is eating something, so your stomach acid levels rise. this could make you sick, or even throw up.

    maybe try a vaporizer.

    Thanks everyone. I think I might be better off next time I smoke. I'll try having some sugar and see if that helps (fingers crossed).

    @ pnkelfntsonprade:
    That's exactly what happened to me this morning.. Straight after I brushed my teeth.

    Vaporizer is a nice thought but might be challenging to find here. And I'm not gonna try make my own one.

    Once again, THANKS EVERYONE :)
    PEACE

    Sounds like you just over smoked. Perhaps try only a good drag or two and see if that gets you giggling and munching...!?
    Also did you have anything to eat/drink before/during the high? This may help....! Also I'd suggest smoking a wee bit less perhaps, start out with really small doses i guess and then build up from there, just give it some time to really kick off, if you think you can go for more, feel free.

    If you do that within the limits, then it is not going to create any problem. Increase it gradually, if you want to do that.

    yeah could be pesticides on the mj. Maybe a different strand you weren't use to.
