    Default What's the deal with marijuana?

    Do certain peoples' bodies metabolize it differently or what? If I take one hit off a joint/pipe/bong that's all it takes for me to freak out and feel like my brain is malfunctioning. I feel like I'm in a dream, then I wake up but I'm in a different dream, and that feeling just continues over and over, like I'm trying to wake up from a bad dream but I can't! It is the scariest feeling ever, and every single time I've smoked weed this has happened. People tell me, "Oh, you're just not smoking the right stuff" or "Oh, you're doing to much, or you're around the wrong people" but it's not true! I've really tried to like weed because I see how it relaxes so many people, but it has such an adverse reaction with me! It actually wakes me up and stimulates me, to the point where I can't even fall asleep, I just stare at the wall thinking crazy weird shit and freaking myself out. Am I predisposed to not doing well with marijuana somehow? Psychologically or Physically?

    It apparently does different things for different people.
    I have a friend who just starts crying hysterically every time she does it.

    Personally. I think meditation is a much better form of relaxation than drugs.

    not an expert, but it could be the people you are around. when i first smoked i was ok with it, it relaxed me, i was as katt williams said "happy, hungry, sleepy." i had like a somewhat traumatic incident when i was high, and after that, when i tried to smoke again i started feeling how you described. getting palpitations, mind thinking a million things a minute, "stupid high." you could have developed some type of anixety. i suggest don't do it anymore, unless you really want to then be around people you are real comfortable with. i've stopped and i let people know, "y'all can go ahead, i'm cool."

    Its just a psychological reaction.. Of course there are set symptoms or effects associated with any drug, but your mind is a powerful thing and can interpret it differently. Goes the same with any drug... hence why everyone has different tastes. If you dont get along with it, then I wouldn't bother.

    I've never tried it, but I get physically ill whenever I breathe it in second-hand. Head pounds, stomach churns, can't breathe, feel like I'm about to pass out. Refuse to smoke that shit.

    I can only think of three, maybe four causes for your reaction-

    1) You may have some psychological issue with it, like TeeBaby.
    2) You may be allergic to it (I've met several people who are allergic to marijuana)
    3) You may be smoking with the wrong people/the wrong stuff. Marijuana that's been laced with some other drug WILL cause a different reaction, even the type of marijuana can have huge affects. Schwagg, I'm straight. Popcorn is some good shit for me. Skunk gets me "stupid high." And 'dro gets me a little TOO high, so I'll only hit it a couple of times for special occasions.
    4) You may have some kind of underlying heart issue. An extremely common side effect of smoking marijuana, regardless of the type, is rapid heartbeat. If you have an underlying heart problem- like high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, a heart murmur, etc- it can cause an adverse reaction such as a racing heart and confusion/mild dilleria.

    Personally, I love pot. Been smoking for five years and doubt I'll ever completely give it up. But like anything else you do, you need to use common sense. You know not to drink too much or take too many pills- don't overdo marijuana either. I have to take a wee break right now, because pot dehydrates you (aka cotton mouth) and I just got out of the hospital for severe dehydration. >_<

    Agreed.


    I used to be able to some weed like a champion years ago. Then I quit for 7 months to save money, and when I started smoking it again it gave me anxiety really bad; sometimes even paranoia. I rarely smoke now, like maybe twice a year. It's just not for me anymore, I guess.

    My friend gets ill every time he's tried to smoke. Could just be an allergy. I love the feeling but I cant' stand the taste or smell so I don't smoke. For those that posted they don't smoke because of the taste / smell, try a vaporizer if you're really interested.
    If it makes you feel bad I'd just stay away from it. Why go through all the trouble of trying different kinds when they might still make you feel bad. The high isn't worth it.

    I found out pretty quick that I was allergic. The whole hives and throat swelling shut thing kind of puts a damper on any of the positives.

    I don't do drugs anymore, but when I did smoke weed, one long toke and I'd be bombed out of my head. It's not unusual, some folks DO metabolise these things more efficiently than others.

    I was the same with vodka....one large slug and I was well on the way to getting paralytic....

    Agreed. It's like saying booze makes you puke, but trying every single kind. Why go through the gross feelings just to come to the same conclusion?

    I think its body chemistry... In high school I could smoke with the best of them, certified pothead. Even in college I got my smoke on though less frequently. A few years later something just changed. Pot was no longer enjoyable. I felt weird and unsettled. Now I just dont smoke...maybe a hit or 2 in a very laid back setting like a reggae show or something but thats once or twice a year. People that have known me a while find it funny that used to be able to smoke 8 blunts in a day and now I take one puff and I'm high as a kite. I think my body chemistry just changed

    I'll take one hit and freak out. I twitch and am on a completely different planet. Sometimes I can take a hit of regs and be semi fine, but usually it's me smoking kush with my son's Dad. Lucky to do it once a month though, I don't really like how it makes me feel. I get nauseated and lightheaded beyond belief.

    I smoke daily. I can smoke 2-3 joints and still be feeling like normal.

    However give me a bong hit and I am high as a kite. I own 6 bongs and usually do a hit or two before bed. I would never do a bong hit before going in to work or driving somewhere though. I get really high so I only do it when the day is done and I am about to turn in.

    I don't like the taste of blunts. Something about the tobacco wrapper and the pot together is just offputting and slightly nauseating to me. But that used to be the only way I smoked it.
    Nowadays, I prefer pipes and joints. They taste about the same, hit the same for me, both give me pleasant mellow highs that I can enjoy anytime- at work, before bed, a show, etc.
    Bongs, I have a very hard time with. It's just so hard to find one that I like because, most of the time, they hit too hard/harshly. I can take rather admirably big hits off a jay or pipe without choking, but I can hit a bong more softly and start hacking up a lung. Only found two that I decidedly like (both of which belonged to friends who weren't selling them), and a tiny handful that I'd like to try.
    Vaps- oh my sweet bejeezus. I love vaps. It's all the THC without all the hassle, taste (which is an issue for some, but not me), smell or coughing. I just don't like how "awake" the high feels.

    So yeah, sticking to my jays for now. And jamming some good smoke tunes-

    Years of smoking weed really fucked me up ! I Don't know if I'm allowed to post links but I actually created givingupcannabis.com less than a year ago - I'm surprised - really surprised at how many people visit the site, and how many people are addicted to the so called non addictive substance . I for one will never touch cannabis again !

    But I guess as with all things, different strokes for different folks .

    maybe from not smoking it often? then again some ppl are just naturally light weights and some just don't have a tolerance for weed...me personally, i can smoke all day and still feel normal and it's great for calming me down if i'm totally pissed (i kinda have a temper lol). u might just be smoking some really potent stuff though...

    i also don't consider weed a drug either; it's an herb not chemically altered by man. It can also help with ED's depending on the individual of course (not to mention that it also aids with cancer and other illnesses) as for the smell i think cigarettes smell a lot worse but most of us probably smoke them anyway..or at least i do lol other than that it really helps me eat more b/c without it i eat like a friggin bird and i sleep waaay better after smoking a joint....imo alcohol is much worse than weed..the damage from it is completely mind-blowing and people do crazier shit when they are drunk vs. when they are high on weed (never heard of a pot head stealing his gma's wedding ring to get a bag before lol just saying)

    I experience the exact same thing, honestly I thought I was the only one. It just makes me act extremely paranoid and detached.

    By that logic, is raw tobacco a drug? Nicotine is a chemical contained in the leaf, and it's still addictive. So if THC is a chemical naturally found in marijuana leaves, it should, by that argument be the same thing. Therefore if THC is not a drug, neither is nicotine. Also, what about psilocybe mushrooms? They are naturally occurring and unaltered by man, or even morning glory seeds, which contain LSA? Are those not drugs?

    Marijuana has been selectively bred for high potency and is vastly different than in was even up until the mid to late 1980s. I would definitely say that is cultivating a drug.

    Sorry, being married to a chemist and having taken chemistry classes, this is a pet peeve of mine.

    ^ I tend to agree... It annoys me when people say weed is "natural"... I get wayyyyy more messed up after 1 toke of a joint than small amounts of other "hard" drugs as people would say.

    Yup- There are many 'natural' non man made drugs - some of them incredibly more potent than artificially created drugs . Cannabis is indeed a drug - In the UK it has been reclassified as a Class B drug , and not without good reason .

    To the poster who never heard of a pothead stealing to fund his habit - check my forum , there's a wealth of information from those whose lives were destroyed trying to fund their habit. Drugs as with everything effect different people in different ways , it's easy for those not deeply effected by cannabis to claim it to be a harmless non drug. I'm sure a lot of social drinkers could claim the same about alcohol -but try telling that to an alcoholic.

    All smoking is dangerous - there is no 'safe' amount of smoking . The only reason there is no direct link YET between smoking cannabis and lung cancer, is down to the fact studies on this are slim in comparison to tobacco v lung cancer. This is fast changing , and continued scientific research is disproving this theory faster than most potheads'' would like to admit .

    Everyone is different , and if it works for you that's fantastic , but based on this alone we can't negate the dangerous aspects of this drug . I for one will never ever smoke cannabis again ! The same can be said for the 100's of people who frequent my forum , most of who are at their wits end fighting an addiction which is only too often overlooked as a soft harmless drug !

    Also - Weed in this day and age is not ''unaltered by man'' nor is it ''natural'' ( nothing natural about hydroponics ) , not for 90% of the cannabis smoking population . You may be one of the few still smoking old school grass, but generally what is smoked today is SKUNK , this is a genetically modified version of what was once considered a harmless drug . People are starting to realize the 2 are very different ! The latter being more addictive, destructive and naturally more potent .
    Just saying
