I greened out last night - General

So I'm pretty new to smoking in the first place and have only taken hits from bowls or bongs. From what I heard those take a bit more to get you high than a blunt and I wasn't aware of the difference until after last night. I usually take around 5-6 hits of a bowl and then I'm done, but I smoked maybe 8-10 hits off a blunt which is supposed to be much more potent because of the resin buildup (again, learned after the deed was done). Everything started off good and the high was great, I was dazing off and getting awfully distracted by the smallest things. I also couldn't control my smile and kept staring at things. My buddies and I went for a small walk and after coming back I started to feel really weird. I got super nauseous and tried laying down on my side, that didn't help at all and made me feel like my head was infinitely moving downward. Then I switched to my back and it completely fucked me up. I was more nauseous than I had been in my entire life. Eventually I started getting that message from my stomach. I was going to throw up, and I did. I threw up 3 times within an hour period and couldn't move for the life of me in between vomiting. Luckily I was able to get somewhere a bit better than carpet. I got to the tile before I vomited. Staying still with puke on my hands and the wretched smell was torture and there was nothing I could do about it. Somehow I managed to clean myself up a bit (nothing got on my clothes) and I ended up falling asleep for 2 hours or so. When I woke up I had the biggest pressure in my bladder, I managed to get the pain to slowly go away after I took a pee. I still had a twisted painful gut feeling that went away after about 15 minutes after waking up and I was still lightheaded. I cleaned up my mess and resented the fact that I became that guy who threw up from smoking in his friends house. I fell back asleep afterward and slept like a baby. Once I woke up I felt on the edge of meh and okay, but still far from good. Anyways, story being told, I don't know how much I should smoke from a blunt. Is one hit good? Two hits? I really hope that I don't get the same experience as last night again. By far one of the most awful nights of my entire life. On top of that I felt pathetic and embarrassed not being able to handle weed. Weight/height: 198lbs / 5'11"

I think it depends on the person and previous experience. Persoannly i'm fine regardless of method and amount when i used to do it. And I did it a lot. I guess you build up to it. Maybe you just went over your limot due to never having it that way before. Maybe next time half the hits. And see.how tjat goes and slowly build up if thats what you are aiming for. Also damn I make too many typos on my phone. And its impossible to scroll back and fix them. Sorry.

I'm sure this isn't affecting anything, but I thought I might mention, and even though you probably already know, but the blunt is still going to have that residue/chemicals from that stuff that was inside of it before it was bled, maybe that in combination with hitting it too much might have done something, which again I'm pretty sure it wouldn't as the rare occasion that my friends chose blunts and I smoke with them, having never smoked cigarettes/cigars before, I've never felt that way, but I never smoked a blunt in my weed infancy. Anyways, you probably just smoked too much, was it a different strain you weren't normally accustomed to? Regardless, if you're going to use some other method to smoke (blunts/joints/bongs/vaporizers) than you're accustomed to, just take it slow, especially if you're still fairly new. 1-3 hits then, maybe wait five-ten minutes, see how you feel, if you only feel a slight buzz, take some more and just balance it out until it feels right, not too much at one time. I definitely think there is some correlation between using different methods, as a while ago I smoked joints for months on end thinking I had high tolerance, and bought a bong for the first time, only smoking one bowl of it and felt completely higher than I've been previously on joints, but in comparison, bongs are a lot more efficient than a joint.

Dont feel embarrassed man this happens to a lot of people, both new and experienced thats why theres a popular term for it. All you gotta do is take it slower next time, but i find it weird how you feel that blunts get you higher than bongs i find it the other way around (when you smoke the same amount that is). Really is nothing too it, just dont smoke too much over a short period.

This happened to me the last 4 times I smoked, it sucks. The thing behind this is that you don't get enough oxygen, that's something I don't doubt. Whenever I feel sick like that, I usually go outside and take deep breaths, get myself together. Usually my friends get me to come back inside, and that's when it turns to shit again. Try that and see if it helps.

Not every experience will be like that. Do it a couple of times again, and you'll be able to handle yourself better bud.

probably the tobacco from the blunt, if you aren't a smoker that can really fuck you up. hell I smoke a ton and sometimes it still gets to me

i don't think he specified anywhere that there was tobacco in the blunt

the blunt itself is tobacco

idk i personally wouldn't expect nausea from just the wraps alone

That happens sometimes, I usually take less hits from a blunt then I would a bong/pipe, that's just because blunts get to my lungs quicker, but I get a lot higher with them. I made a rule that I'll take a few hits and wait 5-10 minutes beforehand so I can test the waters. I have been smoking a while but sometimes I green out if I smoke a ton in rapid succession.

I've been smoking for almost 16 years (between once a week and once a month) now, and only last year I once again underestimated the power of orally consumed THC when I added a space brownie on top of a space cookie because I didn't feel any effects from the cookie. Obviously, 15 minutes after I had eaten the brownie, the cookie kicked in. An hour later, I went to sleep in my camper van (I was at a festival), only I couldn't sleep but started to feel really, really sick. From the moaning noises I made, people around our camp site must have thought I was jerking off for two hours straight. After those two hours of feeling miserable, I realized I had to pee really badly. I got out of the bed and made it to the front of the van where I allowed myself to collapse like a dropped string puppet. It was the only way to lie down without having to puke from the effort. After a few minutes I got up and made my way to the portaloos. On my way back, I started to feel better, but I was still so smarked that I almost got lost on that 200m trip from the crapper to my bus that I had taken about a dozen times in the dark before. tl;dr it can happen to [del]everyone[/del] anyone. (everyone would imply "to everybody at the same time", as opposed to "any one of us", wouldn't it? Native English speakers are welcome to enlighten me.)

Man I smoke blunts on blunts all day, nut up.

[QUOTE=AppleJackson;40895163]Man I smoke blunts on blunts all day, nut up.[/QUOTE]You smoke blunts all day though...you've built up a tolerance to them. nut up more like shut up amirite jk

I got this once too. Was smoking a blunt and got so high I had to lie down. Chalked it up to a freak thing. I had a high golerance and Im 5'11 255 so its not like im a lightweight

this happens to me a lot. One time i was driving home on the highway and i just started puking everywhere. it got all over me and my car and then i had to make up an excuse (while high as shit) to my parents why i threw up all over myself and my car. shit sucked dude [editline]5th June 2013[/editline] it also tends to happen more when i smoke mids

The only time it's ever happened to me is when I swallowed the smoke...I'll never fucking EVER do that again :P

I had only ever smoked from joints and a few bongs before I smoked out of a gravity bong. I took five hits from it thinking it was nothing and then after the last hit I realized I was the highest I had ever been. It fucked me up and I would have gone crazy if it hadn't been for a guy there who I decided was "Dr. Weed." [editline]6th June 2013[/editline] I've never thrown up though, that may be something blunt-specific. I've only ever smoked one blunt, thought it wasn't anything great or different from joints.

After that I was good though, you just gotta know your limit and how it feels.

I saw somebody green out from 2 hits on a 1+ gram blunt so it just depends on how potent your shit is/how much there is.

I blame the blunt wrap. Bongs are better too btw. People that tell you they get higher from blunts... is more than likely the tobacco fucking with you. On top of that, I assumed you inhaled, in which supposedly blunt wraps are better than regular cigar shells... but just chain-inhaling one of those without much tolerance.... is going to mess with ya Imo, stick to joints, or just pure green.. If you want a tobacco high smoke it on the side as well.

Only times I've come close to pulling a whitey/greening out/whatever from just weed was when it was mixed with tobacco, spliffs are generally fine for me- just don't put them in a gravity bong, it's not very nice. Also if someone offers you a 'shotty', decline (think they might also be called poppers in some places?). If you're drinking with your smoking, smoke more before you drink more and let yourself stabalise before having any more, the only times I've thrown up and weed has been involved it's because I've been drunk then decided it'd be a good idea to smoke a massive joint.

My mate greened out and he said he will never smoke weed again, it's his choice but it happens to everyone and it just means you got absolutely fucked.

[QUOTE=Leader of Me;40993634]My mate greened out and he said he will never smoke weed again, it's his choice but it happens to everyone and it just means you got absolutely fucked.[/QUOTE] ........He'll smoke again.

[QUOTE=zach1193;40993719]........He'll smoke again.[/QUOTE] I get that greening out can be unpleasant or stressful but really it's just a bit of bad luck or overdoing it. Can't understand why someone might swear it off over it. If I swore off booze after every time I've been hungover...

"Yea ok man, I guess" and bam. Same idea, if your bud sees all of his friends smoking and having a good time, he'll most likely join in.

I had an...interesting experience with a blunt before. Was at TaniaTiger's house, sat in her garden smoking a nice blunt we'd rolled. Get inside, I feel a little funny at first, then start to feel genuinely queasy all over and I know exactly what the fuck is gonna happen, so I tell her I'll be back in a sec and need to go to the bathroom (to throw up, unbeknownst to her). I get out of the kitchen and into the dark halls of her house, and then suddenly out of fucking nowhere everything looks like silent hill, with loads of grain in my eyes and can barely see in the pitch black, and red lines start outlining the shapes of all the rooms and corridoors like this: [IMG]http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k55/lew-m-b06/wtf_zps77f0f569.jpg[/IMG] It was majorly fucked up. Was wandering around aimlessly in her front room because I couldn't make our where I was and which way I was meant to be going, on top of all this freaky shit going on and hearing my heartbeat in my ears, AND still feeling like I was gonna chunder. Eventually I make it to the bathroom, which is when I start to hear: white noise, static, ringing in my ears, my heartbeat and some heavy breathing which isn't my own, all at the same time. Eventually after 45 minutes with my arms wrapped around the toilet bowl, I chill out and splash some water on my face and I feel relatively okay. Go to bed, and literally 2 minutes later I fucking throw up all over her carpet and myself... and it was the first time I had been to her house as well. The next morning when her parents asked where the sick was from she had to blame it on her dogs. So yeah, blunts can get pretty fucked up.
