Weed overdose!!!

Philly_Buddah said:

Sorry to bring up the old thread but I just found this and wanted to say something.

Ive had several experiences very close to what ur describing just on weed.

If u felt like u were gonna pass out it was mostly like due to either: low blood sugar, low blood pressure, or high anxiety most likely caused by a panic attack. It could have also been a temporary bad reaction to the marijuana or tobacco/nicotine for whatever reason.

I personally have problems with low blood pressure, it really depends on the day sometimes Ill be completely fine and other days not good. My advice would be to eat regularly, meaning every 3-4 hours, it helped me a lot. Another thing is with the low blood pressure if ur about to pass out u can hear loud whistling noises and have a whiteout vision or blackout vision and u can go def for a while why this is going on. It feels scary but its really just ur body regulating itself.

If this happens again try to eat and drink something and either sit down or lie down and just wait it out. Just take the high as a loss and deal with it for however long it takes. If u can fall asleep during it even better. U cant overdose on weed but there are some situations and health problems that are effected negatively by weed and u can either cure them or work around them, but its really nothing to worry about it wont kill u or even hurt u really. It just feels scary while its going on.

I think this is most likely. The weed probably had little or nothing to do with it, other than coincidental timing. I've felt the exact same thing you described a couple of times but pot was never involved. Last time someone DID call 911 and when the paramedics showed up my blood sugar was all out of wack and my blood pressure was through the roof!!! They sent me to the hospital because they thought I might have a stroke or heart attack it was so high!!! They never could determine what caused that episode, but we (me and the docs) came to the conclussion that it was primarily due to not eating like I should have (I was real busy that day and didn't have time to eat) and a sort of anxiety/panic attack. Also, there was a possible inner ear issue because it seemed like my balance and equilibrium just went to shit. it has happened to me 3 times in the last 20 years and EVERY time it hit me when I made a sudden move. I would be fine standing there then go tu turn around or turn my head to look at something and WHAM -- I'm on the floor and the room is spinning at a million miles an hour.

Diet/blood pressure/blood sugar/partial blockage of the inner ear canal could all cause what you described. And too much nicotene too fast could possibly cause it too (give up the cancer sticks dude --- why smoke it if you aren't even gonna get high from it??), but pot alone won't do that to you. If it happens again DEFINITELY go get yourself checked out, and don't worry about the docs --- they aren't going to say anything to anyone about you smoking pot, but they NEED to know.

Give up the cigs and eat better, If it happens again there is something more serious than simply being overly stoned going on. Just my $.02 worth!!!

I've had this before whilst i was still living with my rents. Used to be going through 2-3g a day so not excessive but enough to know my stuff. (We're talking joints here)

I woke up one morning, got on the laptop, laying in bed talking to the missus, started to roll one up and smoke me a morning dooby. So i puffed away all happy, then thought to myself ;'Fuck i needa killa shit'

So ran downstairs, sat myself down on the toilet and a few seconds later i started blacking out, found myself flat on the bathroom floor (luckerly after finishing my shit).
Woke up from the bathroom floor and thought to myself ; 'Well why the fuck did i choose to lay down here' not knowing i'd just blacked out. So i got back up, opened the door and boom flat on my face again.

My mam called an ambulance and they just said it was something to do with my blood sugar being low.
The thing is, the thumping noise you heard was your heart beat, when you black out you can sometimes hear it, i know i did.
Secondly, the mixture of tobacco and THC is all good but not when your on an empty stomach. If you ever feel yourself coming close to blacking out or feel a bit rough, your best bet is to go grab a chocolate bar or anything with high sugar levels. This usually sorts you out.

So, lads and ladies. Next time you decide to have a nice smoking session. Be extra safe and eat some chocolate and candy before.
And heck, if it goes wrong. At least your puke will look like a rainbow.

Yep, I would guess something to do with blood sugar. If it happens again, try to get some juice or something with some natural sugars in your system. I have had this EXACT thing happen both high and sober. Every time it happened and I got something into my system I felt better within minutes (usually juice). Could have just been where your body was for that day. Poor eating habits will contribute BIG to episodes like this....trust me.

Check the side of your cig box. Does it say FSC near the bar code? If you are unlucky enough to live in a State that has mandated their use, Flame Suppresant Cigarettes are bad news. LOTS of people getting sick from them. Our government at work - Poisoning millions to save 300 dumbasses per year that fall asleep with a cig. Sometimes we should just let Darwin be right...

Someone here has a thread on growing your own Tobacco. I believe he even sells seeds.

It could be medical but I have had similiar experiences. At least 4 or 5 times in the last 15 yrs I have had a "panic attack" on weed You get real flush and sweaty and yes sometime nausea had it happen back in high school got so baked went to the nurse and went home it only last a few minutes to half hour depending. Everything gets real intense. One time I was at a Pantera concert and Neurosis opened we smoked 2 blunts of shwag and it hit during a double drum solo it was fucking intense the bass the weed I was fucked for 10 minutes or better then wanted to take that ride again

woo hoo i'm in. thanks man + rep for info

almost certain these kind of things are blood pressure related had it happen to me cold sweat loud heart beat ringing ears and you cannot stand for long. can be scary i have anxiety to sometimes that is different though i have had the mentioned symptoms with no anxiety at all. like i said more than likely a blood pressure drop.

pcp?anyone

cannabis lowers blood pressure which can cause these type of symptoms not uncommon at all.

My theory is that it's combination of being really high, nicotine, and stress. Any time this has happened to me those three have been present. Low blood sugar may well play a role as well, but not so much in my personal experience of 15 years of smoking.

Been rolling (making) my own cigs for years, when you buy the tobaco and make your own (I buy "tubes" with filters and use a machine to inject the tobaco) the tobaco has NO additives and after just a month of doing this I bought a pack cause I ran out and was not home to make more, got sick as sh*t.

Now back when I started cigs had gone up to $4 a pack (which was why I switched) and I could make a pack for 40 cents Then Obama started taxing the tobaco (last January) now it's $40 for a half pound (was $21 a pound before the new tax)

I still do it cause it's still cheaper and no way I would go back to processed cigs!

Think about years down the road when MJ becomes legal how our government will make it "better" for us???

yeah natural tobacco is best but still very bad with no benefits to the user. as far as the standard ciggs with all the added chems i dont know where to begin and weeds illegal because its dangerous lol its all about $$$$$$ nothing less nothing more democracy my ass.

that sounds to me like a panic attack. i may be wrong, but i get them ALL the time & sometimes when i'm smoking they'll get worse. it feels like you're suffocating & you can't breathe. you need to lay down or something or else you feel like you'll pass out. your heart is thumping & you're dripping in sweat... it feels like nothing can make you feel better. sometimes, when i've smoked more than i usually would i have panic attacks after i pee (it's really weird, i know) & they do suck. i get really shakey too. the best thing to prevent that from happening is smoke slower; don't take hit after hit. let it sink in for a few minutes, then continue. if you feel too high, stop. most of the time when that happens, you forget you have half a bowl in the bong anyway so it's a win win situation, haha.

it could be something else, i'm just stating what i think it may be. good luck & happy toking!

I had the exact same thing happen to me only while i was driving. My hands and feet lost circulation and began to curl, tons of sweating, fast heart rate and got very close to blacking out. my girlfriend had begun to bleed during her pregnancy and sudden something happend and triggered this reaction.

After thinking about it for a while, the fact that i thought i was having a heart attack and dying convinced me to go to the doctor. I was told i had anxiety disorder and high blood pressure and was given meds.

If i was you i would go to the doc tell him u smoked som weed and thought u were dying and then let him check u out. Thats what i did.

I've had it happen to me about 3 times in 15 years. Smoking a cig after gettin high was a common factor each time. Mild hypoglycemia...or low blood sugar is probably the main cause. The nicotene and the weed probably constricted your blood vessels and increased your blood pressure causing you to fell light headed and then pass out. When it happens, just lay down on your back and take deep deleberate breaths to relax and return your blood pressure to normal. After about 15 minutes you'll be 100%.

well my first thought was maybe it was laced, but i took a good look at it, and it looks like just normal stuff, smells normal, taste normal. My eating habits are kinda bad i guess. i eat about 1 or 2 meals a day. but ive been smoking for close to 10 years now, and this has nvr happened before. All i can say is, i really thought i was going to die lol. seems silly now cause i feel fine today

Cigs contain 1000's of compound chemichals..

ive had a crazy experience just like this except. i was with my brother and we were toking in our room. we were listining to that remix of "wheres your head at" techno version it was the second bowl we sparked my brother took greens and i went second.. when i took a rip my head got really light and then my eyes kinda Shut off.. and i halfway passed out making me fall over, i ended up hitting my nose square on my dresser drawer and falling right on my ass.. my nose was bleeding Gnarly and my legs were trembling like crazy.. i looked at my brother really condused.. and didnt really know what was going on for a good 2 minutes.. seemed like my brother was doing somethnig to my face ended up he was cleaning my blood freeking out.. tahahaha.. scary shit.. i think it was just some bomb buds after getting done with a long day working in the yard

snds like u hit a whitey lol

nicotine sucks like that
