Q: reaction to weed
asked by: krum on June 10th, 2008

ok..
so i went to a kmk show (kottonmouth kings) and i was really looking forward to smoking weed and getting really high to add to the experience and all. i get there and smoke a couple cigarettes waiting for the first band to go on. it was getting really hot in the venue and i hadnt eaten anything since seven in the morning and it was now seven at night, i didint really drink much either. after the first two bands went on i took a hit of this guys piece cause i lent him a light. then i went up to the front and started smoking with two different groups of people who were just passing a couple joints around. i started to feel really light headed and dizzy. this was the second time i smoked weed by the way. i started shaking uncontrollably and felt like my body was being sqeezed. i started feeling hotter and it wasnt at all like i was told i would feel. i went into the bathroom because i started to feel sick. i drank some cold water from the sink and was trying to get myself back to normal. i was leaning with my head in the sink and it took me a while to realize that i was surrounded by people. they were talking to me but it sounded as if they were yelling from a long way off. the bartender came in and told me to go outside and get some fresh air. i looked in the mirror and my eyes were bloodshot and red and i was sweaty and looked green. i drank some more water and stumbled outside. i couldnt walk straight, i felt like i was drunk. i went outside and was leaning against a wall in the back. i felt like if i threw up i would feel better and i started heaving and threw up all the water i just drank. security came out and started asking me questions and wouldnt let me back in. i sat against a wall and felt like i just wanted to sleep. i put my head on my knees and kept on falling over. i still felt all shaky and not at all relaxed. i ended up sitting outside for the rest of the show and falling asleep as soon as i got home. the next morning i woke up and still felt shakey and sick to my stomach. i dont know what happened and has this ever happened to anyone else? i dont think this is normal and need to know if something was seriously wrong with me.

I wonder if the weed may have been laced with something. Sounds like a pretty strong reaction to weed. I've never heard of anyone wanting to throw up after smoking pot. MDMA exctasy can give you that sort of a reaction or even heroin. Just a thought but I may be wrong.

It is possible to throw up after consuming marijuana. It usually happens when it is one of the more potent types.

To me, this sounds like a dehydration problem. It has happened to me before, exactly how you have explained it.
I hadn't eaten in a long period of time, and hadn't drank anything either. Next time you plan to go to a show, drink lots of water before going! And eat!!!

dehydration and low tolerance could be to blame. Maybe cause it was your 2nd time, it was hot and you needed food and water, and it was probably laced with something. This is a dangerous combo and probably caused your reaction. In the future drink and eat and just be careful of smoking with people you dont know.

MJ zaps your vitamin C, too-drink plenty of fluids, & have some orange juice, too.

But that really sounds like you got some laced weed...buy from a different source.

did you drink any alcohol? mixing downers (weed and alcohol both downers) often leads to vom/blanking out. its a common mistake, as most people decide to smoke weed when already under the influence. in general most weed is laced, but generally only to make it more potent (ie. higher thc), rather than laced with any specific chemicals in addition to those in the weed (pcp is an exception), so its wise to always be careful about where you're getting it from. if its very strong, don't be afraid to let your friends skip you while passing every few rounds, knowing your limits is better than acting cool and then puking.
