Bad Trip On Cannabis. Please Dont Do It Posted: 12-16-05 23:13pm
I'm posting this to let people know how
horrible a bad trip can be, on cannabis.
Don't make the same mistake I did...
It was about 2pm in the school holidays, I
had gone to my friend's house with the
intention of doing marijuana, his parents
were out. I had tried weed before a few
times, and to no effect. And the
experience I had that day changed me
forever and I must say I have learned my
lesson. I urge you all not to smoke weed,
a bad trip is devestating.
Me and my two friends went down to the
bottom garden of the house out onto the
grass. We began the session. I thought
that because it didn't do anything last
time, that if I smoked a ridiculous
amount, it might just do something.
Boy, was I right. Within 15 minutes I was
crying and shaking panting: 'caca, no no
please make it stop' over and over. The
world no longer had individual sounds; it
was all put together into a non sensicle
blur of audio. My friends were freaking
out, they were talking to me. Then all of
a sudden the dissapeared and their speech
echoed for what seemed like forever.
I then realised that they hadn't
dissapeared; they had just moved and I had
skipped time. I jumped like a startled
cat with a sharp yelp of absoloute terror.
I kept forgetting who I was, and where I
was. I felt like a copy of me was
controlling my body & that I was
trapped forever inside my skull.
I skipped time every few seconds,
screaming frantically with each one. It
was like the world had frozen, then
suddenly it would unfreeze with all the
sound rushing in its wake.
I ran from my friends, up back to the
house, to the garden hose. I completely
drenched myself in an attempt to drown out
the thc. It was unbearable.
I sat crying on my friend's concrete steps
outside rocking back and forth. Then I
fell through the floor, performing
somersaults over and over at an
unbelievable speed, I felt the wind on me
and I fell faster and faster further away
from my body which I could never get back
to again.
I opened my eyes, and screamed harder than
I ever have before, I thought I was dead,
weeping profusely into my arms trying to
shield myself. I then threw up until I
gagged with emptyness.
I wanted to kill myself, to end it.
Luckily I decided that it wasn't worth it,
not quite. I kept telling myself "it'll
be over soon". I've never ever considered
suicide before, it scared me also.
... After what seemed like weeks, it
finally wore off.
Days after that experience, I still had
flash backs that made me jump. Please..
If you, the reader, are reading this and
are thinking of experimenting with
marijuana, I beg you not to.
Sorry this was so long, but i've learned
my lesson.
Say no to marijuana.

Most bad trips on weed are caused by deep
seeded psychological disorders, that is
what weed does it brings out those deep
seeded psychological disorders, so
getting everyone worked up over your bad
judgement and low dopamine toleranceis
stupid because its your fault most people
don't encounter these "bad trips". So
unless you do have psychological
disorders cannabis is ok and is a
relatively harmless drug when used
casually and not to the extremes of this
one case!!

Yeah, I have been smoking pot for 3 years,
and a couple times I smoked too much and
had a panic attack. You cant just jump
into it. Your first time odds are, you
wont get high-i didnt. You have to know
your limits. Otherwise, its very relaxing
and works great for a headache. It makes
you feel comfortable and happy. Or at
least me anyway.

Bad Trip Posted: 03-13-06 10:36am
Abstract,
i wouldn't say that marijuana is
completely bad but, it is not for me I
used to use it, it may not be for either,
I just don't like the downer high of it.
If pot makes you go crazy just don't use
at all!
I have never heard of any experiences like
yours, are you sure that was pot?!?!
Lol!

It is possible that it was marijuana.
Marijuana is a hallucinogenic. If you
smoke too much for your body, it is
possible to make you not feel very good.
It is also possible that it was laced with
something else.

I am glad that you learned your lesson
before it was too late, yes, you can smoke
too much of it and it can put you on a bad
trip and also it could have been cut with
some pretty bad stuff. They say that the
pot now is worse than inthe 60's due to
the chemicals that it is cut with now.
Please do not forget what you have
learned. I hope that eveyrone has
listened to the person that started the
post. Be thankful that you came back
because their are a lot of people that do
this that do not come back!

penelope67,
no marijuana is not a hallucinagenic, it
is a psychoactive. I have smoked pot for
more than 2yrs and have never had any
hallucinations of any kind. I do know
what true hallucinations are, taken
shroom's more than once and having vivid
hallucination from amphetamine induced
psychosis. You are correct though the
marijuana smoked by our little buddy may
have been laced with anything, in this
case I was thinking somekind of "embalming
fluid".

"cannabis is an ancient hallucinogenic
drug derived from the hemp plant. The
plant is not indigenous to any particular
area and may be found growing wild almost
anywhere. The term "marijuana" commonly
refers to the flowering tops and leaves of
the plant cannabis sativa l, or to any
part of the plant that induces psychic
change. Ic 35-48-1-19 defines marijuana
as "all parts of the plant genus cannabis,
whether growing or not; the seeds thereof;
the resin extracted from any part of the
plant, including hashish and hash oil. "
marijuana is most certainly a
hallucinogenic-try to find me a source
that says otherwise. I have never
hallucinated off pot before either, but it
is possible, and it is classified as a
hallucinogen. If you ate some pot
brownies, I bet you would see something.
Yeah, most likely laced. No evidence that
marijuana could ever cause those effects.
Maybe your just crazy :p but arent we all?

Ok well not i'm sure where you got your
source from because when I clicked on the
hyperlink it was a dead end.
But I will say that I have never heard of
cannabis being classified as a
hallucinagenic. From my source it is
classified as a intoxicant, stimulant,
psychedelic, depressant, and a
psychoactive. The description of
effects from the website and my personal
opinion are one in the same and state
that: "cannabis, a fast-growing bushy
annual with dense sticky flowers, produces
the psychoactive thc. It is the most
widely used illegal psychoactive and has a
long history of medicinal, recreational,
and industrial use."
check out www.Erowid.Org and
look under plants and then read about
cannabis.
Also if you consume marijuana in cookies
it has no different effects, it is only
more potent, meaning the effects felt are
just more intense.

It most certainly isn't to be honest.
High doses can cause mild hallucinations
and sensory distortions, which may cause
alarm. Mild panic and paranoia are other
side effects experienced by those who use
the drug when already feeling anxious or
depressed (maybe your case??)
eating it won't give you hallucinations
either (trust me) -- it will only last
longer (sometimes much longer)....

Oh dear lord. You need to chill out,
seriously. Sounds like you just got weed
laced with something. And dont call is
'cannibis' it sounds so lame, god.
Smoking weed does not do that to normal
people, I dont know what happened to you.
But weed is seriously not a big deal
because there is no trip like that, and if
there is, its rare.

Yeah I do think the whole "bad trip" u
described was def weed laced with somethin
else...Sounds like u had a bad trip from
lsd or mushies to me, I know it probably
makes you frustrated to hear people say
that you don't know what you smoked, but
it may be true..You never know what people
cut their weed up with. I had a weird
experience one nite 2-not 2 dat extreme
but it still scared me and since then I
have been very cautious about who I buy or
accept it from. That said I am currently
suffering bad withdrawal and its only been
3 days since I last had a pipe and I never
knew it would be so terrible! I feel very
sick and that's why I was searching the
net to see if this is normal, marijuana
use can be fun but it can get serious.
Peace & love...Gab xox

You took too much and you just got
scared..
I too don't think the pot was laced with
anything.. Just a classic panic attack on
weed. Next time take only a puff or two
and it will do the job

My Brother Had Something Similiar Posted: 08-17-06 04:09am
Get checked by your doctor!!
My brother had something similiar. He
never smoked in his life until he was 25
or so, and then the "trips" happened.
And they affected him for months after.
He just wasn't himself for a while.
He would cry sporatically.
Turned out he has some liver problems.
So get checked out as soon as you can.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a
psychological disorder, it could also be a
physical problem. Either way, what you
experienced wasn't normal.
Smoking pot never used to make me feel to
swell, either. I would get very
paranoid. I just don't care much for
altered states, is all, I like having
thought patterns I can understand.

Thank you all for the replies.
I had weed twice and both from different
sources, but the same thing happened. Of
course I only had one puff, but it was
enough to tell me to stop
if anyone has had this 'bad trip' too,
please post your experience.
I spoke to my father about it and he told
me that he too had the same experience, so
I have a feeling it could be genetic.
Although my family line has no trace
whatsoever of psychosis or schizophrenia.
Hmm
once again thanks for the replies

Thanks for the post. You did a great job.
My sister is an addict too, and i've seen
how it continuously destroys her and her
dreams and all of us who love her. It is
just so bad.

I smoke weed on occasion and have felt
great every time but the way u describe ur
bad trip is the exact nite of me of
mushrooms..Omg so horrible...Mine still
comes bak ..Usually happens when im really
hot or tired and I start felling like I
want to kill myself..Sumtimes I help
myself mentaly thinking about the good
things in life...But mushies were no fun 4
me but my frends had a great time..The
only factor I can think of why this
happened to me is that I was tired. Im
now afraid to drink or do anything cause
im afraid it will come back again and ill
have a horrible nite.I'm pretty positive
it will be w/ me forever....But usually
when I go to bed like be 4 1 and get like
7 or 8 hours it doesnt come back for that
day.

Ive been smoking weed for about a year now
and not just a few times but pretty
frequently and I have a pretty good
tolerance. So the other night after a
little celebration where I drank a very
little alcohol I went back to my friends
house and we all smoked up, I did smoke up
alot but I have smoked up that much
before. I took a very huge hit from a
pipe and in about 15 minutes I started
freaking out. The worl was moving and
vibrating almost I felt like I was rocking
back and forth in circles and people
seemed like the were no longer 3d but
instead like a flat picture right on top
of one another, it steadily got worse and
worse I thought I was going insane I
seriously thought I was going insane I
couldnt remember who I was well and what
my friends were I could cocieve time I
might have been there for hours or minutes
and the scariest part of all I couldnt
remember what it felt like to be normal
not the way I was right then so it felt
like I was going to be that way forever.
Which is what really made me feel like I
had snapped. Things grew in size and
shrank I thought I was vibrating when I
wasnt and whenever I touched anything it
felt like I was pushing my hands into a
foriegn world and that world was clining
to me. I have never been so terrified in
my life I thought maybe I would die maybe
I would end up in a mental institution.
The worst part of it lasted about a 1/2
hour I finally started to get a grip but I
was still tripping, but I could control
myself much better and then at the end of
the hour it was about over I was still
high as hell but the kind of high I was
used to and could handle. I dont know
what the hell happened. I cant even
remember everything I did my friend say
there were moments when I looked catatonic
but thats pretty much my worst trip on
weed.
