What exactly causes a green out? Or to be more precise: What causes a person to become nauseous from smoking marijuana to vomit uncontrollably?
It seems like I had a green out a week ago, and it was quite a nasty experience, where I had to clean up my friend's place from the half-digested pizza I ate weighting roughly up to about 2 pounds. I don't think we've really smoked that much ganja since it was less than 4 gram of weed + a little bit of hash, and I'm sure that I've smoked anything between 10-15 g's in less than half an hour before, without any horrible nausea like the one from that particular night.
So I'm here asking, what could make a person feel so sick? Could it be a combination of weed and pizza? (very unlikely). Could it be the mixing of weed and hash? (also unlikely). Or could it matter on the environment the individual is in (my friend lives with his dad, who is quite fond of artistic lifestyle and lives in a home covered with obscure and paranoid paintings of things and people).
Ive never ever puked on weed so I cant relate.
I've only puked on weed once. We smoked several bowls of dank pretty quickly, then played a few drinking games. After the 4th beer, I got the free-falling spins hardcore, and blew chunks a few minutes later.
Usually amount / potency of the weed, and how your body handles it. It can happen to anyone at any time. My friend who had been smoking for about a year was chillin on his couch when all of the sudden he says "I'm gonna be sick", so I say "get the fuck to the washroom!!!". He never made it to the toilet, and his puke blocked the path there so he had to throw up on his floor, NASTY LOL. Green outs are funny when they don't happen to you, especially since they high person is usually too fucked to clean it up right away and they just fall asleep after puking.
I once vomited dark pink/red stuff behind an old washing machine in an underground parking.
I don't remember much, I was beyond fucked up.
It was also pretty fucked during my green out experience, since at one particular point all the things that usually make your high much more awesome like food and music, became things of utter disgust. The food I just couldn't stand the smell of and the music made my head feel like it was about to burst and my skull was about to explode. Also while conversing with my friend, just moments before me throwing it all out I had these paranoid feelings that my friend was some sort of a psychopath who would kill me at the first available opportunity.
Also, no none of my family members ever had problems regarding the mind or were ill with schizophrenia.
Mostly, green outs happen when you cross fade. I've never greened out before on just green. Irony.
Yeah, usually I only see people green out when cross fading. Personally I tend to puke if I smoke tobacco when drunk, MJ calms my tummy :).
Drinking alcohol before smoking will make you green out.
I haven't had a drop of alcohol since september.
Ive puked when I drank alot then smoked weed after, but I find that most of the times if I get the spins, I just sit down, take deep breaths and just try to chill until it wears off. Then I go get another beer. Ive also puked after putting a big wad of dip in and I was already real drunk and a bit high off pot and I just got all sweaty and went and puked and ended up just crashing after that.

= cross fading.
The last time I greened out was when I picked up my first ounce, we smoked 2 blunts, countless joints, and a shitload of pipe bowls. My puke was deep red, so I thought I puked up blood. But then I remembered I drank a jumbo watermelon slushee earlier.
These factors could be a reason to green out (IMO):
- Potent weed on a no-tolerance
- Unused to the buzz
- Physical activity, high heart rate
- Stress, paranoia
- Laced weed
- Too much food (teh munchies)
- Bad mood, time and setting
- Marijuana reducing the immune system making you sick on some bacteria/virus (least likely if you're fine the next day)
- The spins (avoidable and not much likely in your situation)
I don't know what else I can come up with, hopefully it'll give people ideas.
I've never in my life greened out. Thank god - how embarrassing

I don't see how it's embarrassing as people don't control that. It's like saying being dumb is embarrassing.
I've greened out twice. The first time was terrible. It was like my third time smoking weed, and first time with a bong. I wasn't aware as to how hard a bong hit you (compared to the joints I had previously smoked), and I smoked a whole joint equivalent at once.. I threw up about 4-5 times, it was such a shit experience. My entire body felt like it was on fire and I felt like I would be stuck in that situation for the rest of eternity (I was obviously ripped out of my fucking skull).
My second time wasn't as bad. I smoked more than I should have, and casually told myself "I've smoked too much, and now I have to throw up". I went, threw up, cleaned myself up, and enjoyed the rest of the high like nothing happened.
I guess in other groups its just accepted for people to puke but man where I come from youre a pussy if you puke unless you drank like a shitload.
My first time hitting a massive ice filled bong, I took a huge rip and got ssssuper stoned
then felt pretty dizzy
so i went outside, took a few good breathes and I was fine
I have never been sick, although I have been on the whitey feeling incredibly dizzy and weak I just eat lots of sugary foods and was fine about 15 mins later.
Kinda unrelated to the thread, but has anyone ever had those random unexplained nauseous moments? The kind where you randomly get light headed and dizzy, then feel like throwing up but don't in the end.
Because I had one the other day and couldn't think of a single thing that would've influenced it.
Drink a cup of tea with 3 + sugars. That is my cure for most illness or take a shit, either could work.
Not eating anything before smoking isn't too good an idea either, I felt like puking when I did that was fine though.
I've greened out twice, and neither time was off a huge amount or mixed with alcohol, it just struck randomly. I've been far more high before and since both times with no problem at all, and I usually have no problems mixing weed with any other intoxicant.
It's been a long time since I last greened out but I've never figured out what caused them.

I've puked once from mixing with alcohol, and it was more of a burp where sick came too, but I get this all the time. I don't know what it is just certain things make me feel sick.
A couple of my friends have puked from creamed up bongs.
I've only ever chundered once though. I spent the entire day smoking joint after joint with my friends then went to a house party. At the said party, I had two sips on some rum & coke and two beers before throwing up noodles all over the floor in the kitchen.
Worst part was, somebody else was puking upstairs and it began to leak through the faulty piping in the ceiling and it kept landin in my own puddle of vomitus. I then monged out for about six hours, trapped in a limbo between sleep and consciousness. I woke up, watched the breakfast club and went home after that.
All other times I've mixed alcohol with pot have gone off without a hitch though.
I only greened out once
Was a 4/20, we figured it out a few weeks later
I kept hitting a bowl of kief after everyone else said they were good, smoked all of it, kept smoking weed.
I didn't puke but I did lose all control of my legs for a few seconds and my friend helped me off the floor.
One time I almost puked on weed, we were outside and I one-hitted a 2L gravity-bong entirely milked.
I was coughing heavily for around 10 minutes and I was feeling sick as fuck. That also was the time I've been the most high in my entire life.
I dont get people puking just cause they took a big hit... sure my lungs are better than average for smoking but I never seen someone cough so bad they actually puked, maybe gacking pretty hard after smoking a couple hyper obese joints but no barfing.
I once puked after taking a hit from an Iron Lung. That had to be the harshest, most unbearable smoke I have ever tried to hit. I puked a bit out the window.
