A few weeks ago I decided to smoke a joint with some friends and go to the movies. Anyways, whatever the hell I ended up smoking must have had something else in it besides weed, because I got so fucked it was almost scary. Strangely enough it smelled and tasted like regular weed, but the high was incredible - definitely not a weed high...at least not like the kind I get from the low quality shit we usually smoke... The onset came on in about 1-2 minutes. The first thing I noticed was that everything became incredibly blurry, which is strange since my pupils never dilate from smoking weed. The ambience in the movie theater was very overwhelming and annoying, and it caused the fear to set in, so I decided to sit down. I felt completely dazed, as if some gear in my head stopped turning and caused the whole operation to fall apart. For awhile I was having one of those incoherent conversations with my friend - you know, the ones that make absolutely no sense and end when someone forgets what they're talking about. But after awhile I had to get up, away from all these people and to get a drink of water from the taps. This was where it became a trip - I began seeing in frames, and I had sort of a drunken robo-walk. Walking in anything but straight lines was impossible, had I not simply lost balance and fallen over. Continuing on my way to the washroom I noticed that the floor was moving as took each step - it sort of shifted over as I moved my weight to either foot. Having finally made it to the washroom, I threw myself on top of that little table where they put the taps and sat there drinking warm water for about 10 minutes. Seeing myself in the mirror seemed scary at the time, since my reflection was too blurry to even distinguish myself. I decided to close my eyes, and surprisingly, I witnessed some pretty distinct visuals of strange colorless geometric shapes flying through empty space. It didn't seem too bad at first, but after awhile it started to give me bad vibes. I had to get out of that little room. After returning to the massive orgy of people, I found an empty seat and sat beside some old man. I stared at him for awhile and noticed that I was feeling slightly dissociated, as if I were looking at him through a screen. Everything seemed distant. "Fuck it", I thought. I ran into some random theater in a panic induced frenzy and sat down in the front row, right beside a half empty bag of popcorn. I tried to eat some, but it was a rather unpleasant task. I really couldn't taste it at all, much less could I even feel it in my mouth. Not to mention, I couldn't feel most of my upper body. I was numb all over. After the movie ended, I finally came down, but still felt buzzed until I fell asleep at home. Anyways, the moral of this story is: I finally understand why people like Spongebob Squarepants so much. Goddamn, that movie was funny.
If looked like weed, smelled like weed, and tasted like weed, guess what? It was weed. This was likely marijuana high in THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin), which is largely accepted as what contributes most to some "psychedelic" highs. It is most prevalent in sativas, especially southern hemisphere (african, new zealand, australian strains). Welcome to the club. However... The numbing worries me as this is not normally an effect of these psychadelic highs. Also, these psychadelic strains are all VERY high quality. If your bud was low quality, I think you may have had adulterated marijuana with a disassociative such as PCP. Bitch at your hook, in that case.
It is possible that it was nothing more than weed, but this was definitely an adverse reaction, for me at least. The intensity could have been brought on by the fact that I hadn't had anything to eat or drink for 10-12 hours before smoking, which is quite likely. I can't be sure about what it actually was though, since I didn't roll it and never saw what was inside. I've heard stories of people putting dirty shit like Mop & Glow on their joints, which is supposedly tastless, and intensifies the high.
The most common marijauna adulterant is disassociative anesthetics such as [edit: never fermaldahyde (embalming fluid)] or PCP, but generally you will definately be able to taste it; but even so, it's not THAT common of a thing to do, in fact, it is pretty rare, and nowadays in some places they will TELL you so and sell it for MORE as such. If you didn't get a look at the bud, you'll probably never know which it was... Sorry.
-sighs- Formaldehyde is not a dissociative anesthetic. It's used to embalm bodies, make glues, sub-flooring, fiber board, and plywood wall panels. You didn't smoke Formaldehyde, if you did you would probably have cancer. It's possible to have smoked PCP, which is Phencyclidine, NOT Formaldehyde. "Formaldehyde" and "Embalming fluid" are nicknames for PCP, like "Wet", "Dust", and "Leak". They aren't REALLY PCP. What you described is what happens the first few times you smoke actual Cannabis Sativa. Odds are you got some really fly Haze or something like that. Yes, that's what happens. Herb is psychedelic. Indica, not so much. Sativa, yes. Your situation is not secluded to you at all, people are constantly going through this, getting really high and realizing the psychedelic effects of herb and freaking out because morons told them rediculous horrorstories about coke or leak laced joints. I've even heard of idiots thinking they smoked Ecstasy laced weed. It just doesn't happen. Even if you did, nothing would happen to you.
s/fermaldahyde (Embalming Fluid) or// Oddly enough, I can't find the source that originally grouped fermaldehyde as a disassociative for me. >_< angry eyes at intarnet! Numbing was not something I noticed on any of my psychadelic marijuana trips, and this question is asked at least once a month elsewhere were someone is like, "HELP! I HAD BAD WEED AND WAS TRIPPING" and they never mention numbness, which is the ONLY reason I fear adulteration... but as I said initially, if it looked like weed, smelled like weed, and tasted like weed, then it was weed.
If we can both agree that homie was tripping, then there's nothing very weird about numbness. When you're tripping, a whole array of things can happen. You're altering your perception and state of mind, you could totally think you're numb. You're hallucinating. or if it's really bomb shit, close inspection isn't necessary
Yeah, I guess it must have been really good weed, if nothing else. But since then I've smoked about a dozen times and I haven't gotten any results even resembling those from before. Not even with hash. A bit off the subject, I'm going to pop some shrooms with my friend on Friday. Neither of us have ever done shrooms before, and we're going to take approximately 1.5 grams each. Is this a good dose? Also, I'm a bit concerned about some of the possible effects the shrooms might have on us considering that we're going to be confined to a small basement. Is it possible that one of us might become psychotic and trash the place? Will we be constantly playing White Rabbit on repeat and threatening each other with big knives?
Yeah, well, I'm just waiting to see how much he actually gets us. I've heard that a single gram isn't usually very effective, so I'm probably going to take more because I don't want to waste the experience. Also, could you give me an idea of how much material is in a gram? I'm not quite sure, but I'm guessing it's about a top the size of a bottlecap, maybe slightly larger, and an inch - 2 inch long stem. Does this sound right? As for the setting, I'd rather be outside for this, but unfortunately Canada is so damn cold at this time of year. Being in my basement is going to be a journey through madness. There's so many clothes hanging up that you would think it's the dry cleaners; I mean, it's trippy enough as it is. When you turn your back it always feels like the shirts and pants are going to come chasing you. And they always sway and move around by themselves - keep in mind that this is without doing shrooms.
Dose depends on whether the mushrooms are wet or dry and the type of mushrooms they are. If you don't know what type of mushrooms they are, they are probably cubensis, and 1.5 grams dry is a good first dose. Many recommend 2 grams dry for first timers. You will probably not wig out and trash the place - more likely you'll see things in there that you never noticed. Good luck and be safe.
Now my friend says he can't get shrooms, so he wants to do acid. I said ok, but I'm not yet sure if I'm going to take any. Apparently the acid isn't too potent either, since people have already taken a few of the blotters from the sheet and haven't seen anything except trails. But then again, it's impossible for us to measure how much acid is going to be in a blotter...he said he thinks it's about 50-150 mg.
What do you mean pretend acid? We're doing it together so I don't see what the point in faking it would be. Unless he soaked the blotters in GHB so he can daterape me. I've known him for maybe 6-7 years, and he hasn't raped me as of yet, so I think I'm in the clear...
Yeah, he said that when his friends took some of it, it had rather weak effects, more like a shroom trip as they described it. However I just started smoking weed about 4 months ago and haven't done anything else as of yet, so it's probably not a bad thing that this acid isn't particularly strong. And if it is, well, I'm in for one hell of a ride.
Could have been DMT or PCP. Both are smokable and can be used to up the "strength" of shit weed. In the 70s there was a lot of pot adulerated with this kind of shit. Yuck. Nothin worse than trippin when you didn't intend to. Scary.
hey zarathustra, if you're 14 and you just started smoking weed, i suggest to hold off on acid. but you dont' have to take my advice, i don't personally know you so it oculd be fine for you, but one thing. the acid you might be getting is probably fake. you're friend is just getting it, he may not know it's fake. don't spend too much on a hit, and if you konw people have taken mroe than 2 blotters and only seen trails, its fake. the trails they saw was just their mind messin with them.
Fuck yea haha 150mg Jeezzzz you would trip for uhhhhh a LONG LONG Ass time, at the point where you might just wanna kill yourself
LSD is measured in MICROGRAMS, not Milligrams. 250 to 500 micrograms is a regular decent sized dose (at least it was years ago.) I think maybe he got mils and mics confused. If you are going to take 150 MILLIGRAMS of LSD I hope you don't have anything planned for several months...........
