I had a horrible experience smoking weed!?!
Question: first off, let me say i am not a crazy person, but one time i smoked a big blunt and thought it wouldnt effect me like it did. something happened and i dont understand what, my brain seemed like it froze for a second then it would start skipping around like i was watching a movie skip. it was pretty scarey. it lasted that way for about 5 hours. it was something i couldnt control. still til now, this was 6 months ago, i still feel like my brain isnt like it use to be and i dont know why. i feel like im watching a movie (it doesnt skip)haha but im always so out of it. its really scarey. when i talk to my boyfriend about it.. he laughs, he doesnt understand what im talking about. it doesnt effect me that way it effectes him. im too scared to see a doctor they might think im insane. and im wondering if anyone else has had to go thru the same thing. its pretty scarey and that was my first time smoking weed and the last!! anyone have any same experiences. i need seriousness too! :]]

It effects me badly too and people look at me like I'm crazy. In fact, it has even caused me to have panic attacks. my advice don't do it
i think its all in ur head. or ur conscience
I've never done illicit drugs and I think this experience should actually turn you off of drugs and onto more positive hobbies.
I think you are letting your mind get the best of you. When I smoke weed, I feel like my blood is running to fast and I am going to die of a heart attack. I can't help but hold my chest and tell my boyfriend to take me to the hospital because I think something is happening. I HATE it.
you smoke weed and say that you are not crazy, i beg to differ!
Probably had some "doctored" weed with some sort of hallucinogen like PCP. Better watch it!
Stay off the DRUGS!!! I don't believe you for one minute!!! Weed doesn't do this to you, that it last 6 months!!! You have mental issues before that BLUNT!!!! In fact, many you should try smoking it more!!!
It's possible that the weed was laced with a different drug. Or you got some crazy strong weed. I don't know if you have any way of finding out, but I think you should talk to a psychologist about that, or even a doctor.
Good luck.
i think everyone reacts differently to different things
if you dont think you have been right since, then id suggest
that you dont do it again, and to ease your mind, maybe see a dr about it... good luck
I have never tried drugs, but it sounds like whatever you smoked might have been laced with something else. probably something much more dangerous than pot. I think you should definetly see a doctor,or it could be something else completely different not related to you smoking. you might need a brain scan or something. but idk, im not a doctor. good luck!
It's quite possible you smoked something laced. Like with angel dust (PCP) or such. It goes to show you with drugs you never no what your getting so beware. Some try something once, and it's their last, if ya follow me. Stay safe, leave the drugs alone.
Stop smoking weed! DUH! It ain't for you. I know, I smoked alot of weed when I was younger. I can't touch it now. It JACKS me up. Just don't do it. Your better to grow out of that phase now anyway.
Yeah that is the effect of weed.
It's like you see things in pieces, like skipping. Where as with alcohol, things feel more like 'whoah' and wobbly. That is the effect of the drug weed. I don't know why it skips like that but it does that. Maybe it has to do something with oxygen and the brain cells, axons and dendrites.
Your body/ you could also be hypersensitive as a person and to a lot of things. Meaning that your body is probably already sensitive to the things around you. When you introduce a hallucinogen into your body, you are opening yourself a lot wider and you can appear more vulnerable to people.
Marijuauna is no joke. People think that it's a recreational drug and that you can do normal things while on it, but you can't.
Weed isn't for everybody. You have to be spiritually grounded and balanced and not all over the place jumping from one sentence or topic or idea to the next, and talking like 50 words a minute. You'll drive yourself crazy, trust me. Been there.
It shouldn't be that serious unless it was laced with another drug, like meth or something else. if it was pure grown with nothing else then it should be fine and you should have been fine by now.
I would suggest detoxing yourself by going to an oxygen bar, if they have one out in your area, to eliminate all the carbon in your system and also go to your local gym where they have a suana and steam room. Sit in their for like 30 minutes so you can sweat out all the toxins in your body. Don't go in the sauna if you have high blood pressure or if you are pregnant or have just consumed an alcoholic beverage.
Otherwise, stay away from it. Weed is a powerful drug. IT IS NO JOKE. A lof to ppl have accidents when they are high and when they do, they regret what they do because the image of whatever happend, keeps playing back in their mind over and over, like it echoes visually and they can't stop it.
IT'S NOT A GOOD FEELING AFTER ALL WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOU DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER YOUR MIND/THOUGHTS AND THINK SOMETHING ELSE DOES.
That's why I stopped long ago. I want to be in control of my mind and my thoughts. It can mess with you and be a gateway to schizophrenia.
It sounds like there may have been something else in that blunt besides just weed.....Be careful!!!!!!!!!!! you cant trust everyone and everything....Besides drugs in what ever form aren't the smartest thing you could be doing
The symptoms you are describing don't sound like weed at all. You A:have done LSD or another hallucinogen in the past and are having "flashbacks" which are random trips acquired from long term hallucinogen use, or B: someone laced your blunt with a hallucinogen.
I haven't experienced exactly the same as you but I have smoked it a few times and every time I smoke it I have horrible experiences. I feel like I get mentally challenged. Most people that smoke it never experience this but the odd few of us just have a bad reaction to it. Stay away from it. Try to read and keep focused as much as possible and take 60mgs+ of gingko biloba a day everyday. I take 'Gingko Max' by Jamieson it's 2000mg. It is high potency and I find it helps quite a bit. Its important to take it everyday though.
I have the same problem and I can figure it out wither like im watching from like a 3rd person or like in a movie or something. I used to smoke alot of pot too!
Serious answer. The exact same thing happend to me when I was young and tried it the first time. I totally freaked out! I never felt the same afterward either. I thought I was nuts or something, but then a friend of mine tried it for the first time and the same thing happend to her. She was so frightend she did go to the hospital...because she felt like she was going to die and her head went crazy.She had to tell them she smoked pot. The doctor told her that this experience happens more than anyone would guess...but most people like you and ME...just held on without going for medical treatment. He declared that some people can have allergic reactions to it...I suppose just like anything else (I am allergic to strawberries) and I am thinking I was also allergic to pot. People can be allergic to the simplest of things..so why couldn't you be allergic to THC? It made sense to me. The doctor kept her there for observation overnite and then discharged her. She, nor I, have ever smoked it again..so best advice...don't smoke it again.
I smoked weed for 30 years and never experienced that. He may have laced it with something else. It may have had PCP in it. If it has been 6 months and still affecting you something is wrong. You better go to a Dr. and be honest with him or her. They know we people are out her drinking and doing drugs smoking weed they will not think you are crazy. Believe me I tell my Doctors everything I have done now . I have not smoked any weed now for 18 months or drink any alcohol or any other mind altering substance.
Yeah, I can relate to the part about feeling like your watching a movie, but not the part about skipping around. You will gradually return to normal the longer you stay away from it. You might try extreme sports or getting involved in some important cause or something along those lines in order to get out of your apathetic state. Maybe start taking karate or some other contact sport. But what do you mean you don't know why your brain got jacked up. You smoked weed that's why. You'll just have to build it back up again.
Well, first of if you want a serious answer don't use the word "seriousness" which, to the best of my knowledge is not a word. Second, if you were dumb enough to smoke weed, you deserve the effects. But I have had that kind of experience. It was after I had a horrible FMF attack. Nothing seemed real. It felt like I was watching a movie. No, I don't think you're crazy. I think you just need to ask someone. You might get arrested for admitting that you smoked weed, but hey, perhaps you'll learn not to do it again.
Pot in itself shouldn't affect you like this. Sometimes people put other drugs into pot and they can affect you more. If I were you, I wouldn't smoke anymore.
well i had kinda the same thing happen to me my first time i smoked alot and didnt feel it then it all hit me at the same time
it scared the **** out of me it was like a music video that wouldnt stop for a few hours i started to eat some cheetos and it didnt help at all every time i closed my eyes it was like lazer light show in my head it kinda sucked
but the more often you do it the more it isnt that bad but when i do i feel kinda stupid and not normal for about 3-4 days
Its called being stoned. Your just not used to it but you should smoke little at a time then you will understand. It always seems that it doesnt affect you like it does others or whatever. I think its normal. Well plainly, you shouldnt have smoked. Must have opened some door in your brain...
Drugs can effect people in many different ways because each person's body chemistry is different. You probably feel you need to do it, otherwise how would you make potsmoking friends and have an excuse to complain on yahoo answers. Find healthier support systems.
Dr. Max S.
you done smoked yoself retahded. try it two more times. 3rd times a charm.
I KNOW how you feel. The same thing happened to me but not for so long and the difference was I was drinking constantly for a week and I was drunk like 24/7 and just partying like crazy! For weeks after that I felt like I couldnt concentrate and like everything was just floating by and I couldnt enjoy the little things anymore. But in time I got back to normal. For weed though, it is more intense so go see a dr if its continuing - - get your life back to normal I know how you feel I HATE IT! Makes me feel like "what is life, whats so great about it" when I went through that time. But now my attention span is back, I can process the little things again, I dont seem like everything is just floating by or like a movie in a sense but rather that I am in it and part of it and focused and everything! GO TO A DR!! they can help you clear it out! and btw smoking weed destroys brain cells and sometimes there is no going back but I don't know because I am no credible source. But honestly don't do nothing - - there is this chick who did alot of weed and *hit and now she is totally out of it and cant really do anything educated at all or make much sense it's pretty sad and there is no going back for her.
That sounds terrible. You know to avoid this drug in the future, besides it's illegal.
I have experienced an inability to focus my sight. (Could not see straight) As for your feeling like your in a movie. Marijuana is a mind-ALTERING substance. Not to say in a permanent way If you do not do it habitually. It is possible that your perception of life has changed OR that your feeling guilty and its all in your head. It is also likely that what you smoked was laced with an actual drug. The reason your boyfriend did not share the same reaction would be that he is already used to it. Also you said it was a blunt. Since it was your first time smoking i would have started with something smaller like a bowl or joint. Blunts give off ALOT of smoke and it would be difficult for you to handle the effects of the plant in such large quantities at first and also if you smoked a cigarette while you were high that also could have contributed to your bad experience. As i have found out for myself that they do not mix well. Hope some of this helps you. I dont think your insane but you should just attempt to relax. Life is not always meant to be taken seriously. On a final note If you start feeling bad physically and you think its because of this. Dont worry about who might think your insane cuz im sure they would rather have you alive then dead.
I agree with "werrsells"' answer. The weed you got ahold of could possibly have been tampered with, and had some other drugs added to it, that were hallucinogens. At any rate, if you still feel strange, not like yourself....why should you be afraid to see a doctor? They could possibly even do tests on your brain, such as an MRI, to be sure there was no permanent damage. And I would DUMP any boyfriend who laughs at this......you could have a serious problem, and he is laughing? What does that tell you about how important you are to him?
You must do the things you know to be right to take care of your own health. I wouldn't live like you are now, not knowing what is wrong, and putting up with a boyfriend like that on top of it!
maybe the pot was laced with tabacco.....or....crystal...weed is usually a mellow-happy high...give it anther go...
