burning on skin after smoking marijuana Posted: 05-01-06 10:29am
I am a freshmen at college at started
drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana
occassionally since I got here. I always
anjoyed the drinking but never really got
high until I smoke with my roomate in
december. We went out and smoked
underneath a tree and before I even
stopped smoking I started completely
freaking out. I had no idea what was
happening but I felt like I had no control
over my body and that maybe I was stuck in
a dream or a movie. It was horrible. My
vision became very blurry and all of my
skin seemed to burn. I felt like I was in
an unrealy world. A few minutes later I
was able to bring myself back to reality,
I would keep going back into this fear of
an unreal world on and off for maybe an
hour before my roomate put me to bed. I
was fine when I woke up a few hours later
and was able to laugh about this incident
with my friends. I smoked two or three
times after this and I kept getting the
buring sensation in me skin but I was able
to understand that is was the drugs doing
that. However, the last time I smoked, I
was already drunk off of rum, and still
got the burning skin thing. When I woke
up the next morning, I was fine but I few
hours later the symptoms came back. That
was a little more than two months ago and
I still feel like I am experiencing the
effects of the weed. I still have a
little bit of a burning sensation in the
skin and I feel like am still having
phycological effects. I know this
probably sounds really bad and, well, it
is, but I am able to go to classes and
function completely normally. Its just
like I have this liitle distractions.
Sorry this is so long. Im just really
worried. Do you think I should seek
pshyciatric help or do you think these
symtops should go away on their own?

Are you sure it was weed that your friend
gave you and not something else? Could
the weed have been laced with something
else? There are a number of illegal
drugs out there like lsd that can cause
similar symptoms that last for years
afterwards.
Ask your doctor.

Worried06- you should stop smoking because
this could be a side effect. Trust me
quit while you can. Yes the symptoms u
get will go away in time. Because it is
mostly psychological. When I used to
smoke it I was totally fine, I went to a
new dealer and when I started smoking this
new stuff I totally freaked out, thought
the whole was against me, thought I was an
experiment and the world wasnt real, and
thought everyone was trying to kill me!!!
Yes this is totally messed up I know.
Some people I told thought it was laced.
It probibly was. It was some sorta
super-skunk when I thought it was just
normal ol' ganga!! My new years
resolution was to not do drugs anymore,
and I still havent, stay away from drugs.
Reality will soon hit and u will be back
to your normal self. You not crazy and
dont need to see a psyciatrist. Give it
time and you will be your normal ol' self
again. I am and reality feels good!Lol

I think your allergic. don't smoke
anymore. The mental effects you are
feeling is called paranoia. YES it is
normal for marijuana to do that the first
few times you smoke. even hallucinations
may occur. The burning skin thing is a
warning sign. that is not normal for weed.
I been smokin almost 20 years. I think
your allergic bud. next time you smoke you
could get hives, have your throat swell,
and go into shock. The weed and you do not
agree.
