Ever had a scary high?

A couple weeks ago I got high and had a scary/anxious moment. Basically, I heard this noise in my head. And then I thought to myself, "What if it doesn't go away?" and then it didn't; it got intenser. I just told myself to calm down, and if I didn't think about it, it would go away. It did, but I never shook that anxious feeling for the rest of the high. I've only gotten high once since then, but that has more to do with me being unable to obtain any bud than anything else. Anyone have any similar episodes?

 

yea sometimes when im high and have music or something playing i think i hear stuff in the background, i just pause for a sec, and carry on because its only my imagination =)

 

yeah sometimes i have scary highs.
like if i'm around a lot of people i get freaked out, or certain songs make me zone out and i'm like dude wtf.

and one time it sounded like there was a plastic bag following me, and every time i moved, i could hear the plastic bag moving too.. that was one of the scariest times

 

i thought i was chocking once made me feel like my throat was swelling up

 

never understood how people could have scary highs its not like your tripping

 

Are you kidding me? i thought every stoner gets paranoid.

Every time i get blazed i get very paranoid/scared for about 20 minutes of the high without fail..

 

Perhaps I'm the oddball... but I can get quite zooted without smokin alot of herb. Now, if I DO smoke alot of herb, *especially* an indica... I will be on my ass. Depending on whats goin on, such an altered (yes trippin, not exactly shrooms but definitely hardcore hallucination) state I can get *extremely* paranoid.

At this point I've smoked enough so that never really happens... but it definitely has in the past. My first experience with the most potent I've smoked was like that... and when the high WAM popped right in it caught me off guard. All I had to do was remind myself its just marijuana, and ya don't OD on marijuana... after about 5 mins of "holy shit", I was trippin more than I thought marijuana could make ya

 

I've had a couple of bad experiences with powerful weed. Now I keep it real simple. I mostly smoke by myself, & just a few puffs, just to get some insight, or make it easier to tune my guitar. If I have a real lot, I notice a pattern - I feel great and then just at the peak of feeling great, I'll have some kind of reminder or thought connection & it will all turn around and I'll feel sad or scared. Almost like getting to the top of a roller coaster, & then the plunge ('cept I like the coaster ride)

I think it has a lot to do with one's internal construction - like, how much can or do you trust yourself, but that it is something with a lot of practice that you can change. Or else why would some 16 year old kids be able to get blasted out of thier minds and handle it better than someone in their 20s or 30s - I think it's something to do with your deep sense of self, and maybe a bit of that is brain chemistry, but they say that with effort you can change your brain chemistry, so yah - if weed makes you paranoid or anxious, smoke more carefully, smoke with more awareness, and ask Brother Herb what you need to know to get more out of your journey with him.

Hope that doesn't sound dumb

 

That happens to me, but only while I'm smoking. After a few hits my throat gets irritated and breathing becomes more difficult, or at least it seems like it does. I usually chill out and skip a couple hits until I feel better.

 

Ive had countless scary highs. Basically everytime i get so high i lose all self confidence within myself and forget/find hard to do simple things, like forming sentences, walking, etc..

They suck.

 

a lot of times when i smoke i get paranoid for somewhat rational reasons such as getting caught. Sometimes I hear things I really do not want to hear like my mom saying PHil?! what are you doing?! then I realize I am hallucinating on pot.

 

The only time I've ever freaked out was at a friend's house when other people were invited that my friends and I didn't know that well. One of the guys got really stoned and started playing with a knife and making really jagged, weird movements with it. I went on to give a huge rant to him about how he doesn't need to be carrying a knife in Omaha, Nebraska, and asked him to respect my pacifist ideals and put it away. Needless to say, he was a huge asshole about it and freaked me out even more by pretending to throw it at me. I haven't hung out with him since and don't intend to. In fact, I made him walk his ass home in the cold the other day. Ha.

I guess I just didn't want to be part of another "anti-pot commercial" scenario. I didn't want his stupid ass to ruin things for the peaceful pot smokers.

 

My friend has had a similar experience to that. I haven't had a scary experience yet.. then again I quit (temporarily?) after I'd only smoked for a handful of months.

 

I don't know depends If I'm high and I'm smoking in my back yard I get paranoid easy and think that everyone and their mothers are watching me toke it up

 

that happens to me all the time

but a couple years ago, when i first started taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, i smoked a couple joints on the balcony of a cruise ship, and i literally saw barney (yes, barney as in the purple dinosaur), dressed as a security guard, pointing a glock at me and chasing after me.

 

yeah, the first time i bought some for myself. i smoked it all and i got super high- i got really panicky and was convinced that i was in some weird time loop. i then wandered to the park and it was really dark, time seemed to have slowed down and i thought i was being followed.

oh and on some other time when i was on E the police started chasing me with torches, i'm still not sure if it was real or if i was just hallucinating.

 

I've had a few scarry highs. Ussually if I get real high on a hot summer day. I will get a way too intense high. It sucks! lol

 

Damn I love all the intense highs I can get. I did have a scary high the other day when I got punched in the face 20+ times and had 56$ stolen from me.

 

i have scary highs occasionally, but i love them.

it's like the greatest horror movie ever.

the one time i could complain was when i thought i was having a seizure.

 

The first time I got really really stoned was kind of scary. I was convinced that I was time traveling, and started freaking out about it, and then freaking out because nobody believed me. And then I thought I could hear peoples thoughts...And then we played guitar hero and everything got better.
