Hello, basically I had a bad experience with weed last year and haven't touched the stuff since. I was wondering if any of you could help me find out what happened. Basically I had two tokes of a joint and walked off because I was waiting for a drop off and sat down with my mates. As time went on I started to feel really really weird and my head started spinning. When I stood up I felt like shit and we started walking down the road and I collapsed in to my friend and eventually sat down on a bench. I still felt like shit and had to walk back to my girlfriends, basically it felt like my legs were super long and everything was blurry. This was a year ago so I can't remember every bit of detail, but I was on protein shakes so I don't know if that had effected it. It wasn't my first time, it was like a year after I started.
I'm not going back on it, just want to know what the hell happened ahah
i see you're from the uk
do you smoke tobacco?
if not dont smoke joints with tobacco in. unfiltered tobacco with no nicotine tolerance does this and is not fun at all
[editline]8th January 2014[/editline]
unfortunately around here the norm is to smoke it with tobacco. i have no idea why, it's awful
because smoking joints without tobacco is really wasteful
[QUOTE=TCB;43463758]because smoking joints without tobacco is really wasteful[/QUOTE]
How come?
if you're not inhaling, weed is burning without being smoked, which is wasteful. if mixed with tobacco, the tobacco will burn too, wasting less weed.
Yeah, sounds like too much nicotine to me. A fat cigar or too much hookah for a few hours will do this to me.
Woah
that happened to this girl I knew.
Holy shit thanks for the link Four20.

all well and good if you're a tobacco smoker already, but if you arent it's horrible. anyone who's legitimately concerned about wasting weed uses a pipe/bong/vape anyway

Hmmm waste weed, smoke tobacco, waste weed, smoke tobacco... Think I'll just waste a little weed, haha You guys sure are persistent that smoking joints wastes so much, but it's a hardly noticeable amount unless you roll huge papers, you'll lose like .05-.1 of a gram at the most and it's much healthier than mixing it with tobacco. Not to mention smoking tobacco with weed tends to get the user "addicted" to weed, or rather not being able to enjoy weed without tobacco. Just food for thought, my 2 cents

zach kinda has a point. Tried vaping hashish back when I smoked daily, felt weird because I was so used to the tobacco.
[QUOTE=TCB;43463869]if you're not inhaling, weed is burning without being smoked, which is wasteful. if mixed with tobacco, the tobacco will burn too, wasting less weed.[/QUOTE]
yeah but only because you have less weed in the joint to begin with, the amount you save is proportional to how much tobacco is in your mix. So smoking the same amount of weed in more joints is still wasting the same amount I'd bet
It can be good if you want to get less high I reckon, although the nicotine rush to someone who doesn't smoke is gonna be pretty heavy

I smoke pretty fat joints if I have the weed and my joints go out if they aren't smoked. Hardly wasteful smoking joints i think. Its also one thing I hear people say they hate about joints.. "They always go out!!"

Well it wasn't my first time and I'm not a light weight? Also it wasn't the only time it happened, thought I'd try and do it again to see if it was a one off, same thing happened except I didn't feel like passing out.. And it can't be tobacco as I am a smoker too?
It all depends on how much you smoke fella.
If you only take a few tokes once in a while the weed will hit you like you said in OP...
Try building up a small tolerance with it.

I used to smoke it a lot, usually having 1-2 joints about 3 days a week

I've had a similar experience (though yours seemed worse) and I wasn't a first-timer nor a lightweight either. I think the second definition on UD is probably better.

Some people including me finds that the tobacco headrush helps kick-starting the high and besides a lot of people enjoy smoking tobacco. You are saving weed by mixing but it's probably to such a small degree that it doesn't really make a good point to the tobacco smokers argument, but honestly there doesn't need to be one in the first place - if you like to smoke with tobacco, it isn't hurting anyone so who cares.
I can't handle tobacco in joints, my head starts spinning and I get really ill.
[QUOTE=Teddybeer;43479480]Got any stress or the like?[/QUOTE]
Not at all bro, I'm the most relaxed person ever even when not smoking green
If you're used to smoking filtered tobacco, unfiltered can catch you off guard if the joint was rolled with tobacco. It could also be that you encountered some rare megadank that you weren't prepared for, if the weed is good enough it can be considered "one hit quit shit" even to a stoner with high tolerance. A third possibility is that you smoked some "legal" crap where they spray synthetic cannabinoids on random plant material and sell it as "incense" or similar, though I don't think people try to pass that shit off as actual weed very often. Even if you're a chill person, if you were going through some rough shit at the time then that could also be a factor, as weed is known to amplify anxieties or paranoia you might be feeling at the time you smoke it.

My ex girlfriend bought "weed" one day and it was synthetics just put inside a plastic bag to look like the real deal. Smoked 1 joint and I'm never going to smoke anything like that again.
So It's actually quite possible.
Aren't you supposed to re-roast the tobacco so it doesn't have as much nicotine or something? I always re-roast my tobacco before rolling it into a paper.
[QUOTE=Gogi;43497047]Aren't you supposed to re-roast the tobacco so it doesn't have as much nicotine or something? I always re-roast my tobacco before rolling it into a paper.[/QUOTE]
this is the norm in most of europe. i'm not really sure how much of the nicotine it actually gets rid of, but it makes it way easier to fill your cone with it when it's dry.
Also, you can always stuff your tobacco in the back so you only get green hits, and throw the waste tobacco.
Although tobacco still gets everywhere, it's less pronounced through the sesh.

or you could just not pointlessly spend money on tobacco which fucks your lungs even more than weed, has addictive chemicals, and tastes like shit in combination with weed
also makes rolling joints a hassle, have to spread out tobacco or roll it out of a cig before you can put weed in and its harder to actually roll the joint
tobaccoless it's just grind, put in paper, roll. you can do it while walking because its so much simpler; it's just a pointless hassle using tobacco and all it does is make the joint taste like shit and gives non-smokers horrible nicotine rush
edit:
not to mention if you're a tobacco smoker anyway it's using up your precious tobacco - 90% of the people i know who smoke and use tobacco in their joints have a cig straight after the joint anyway. using twice as much tobacco just to make rolling a joint hassle and ruin the taste? i really dont get it

Prolly how kicks you in the face compared to just weed, that's all the appeal I see going for it anyway.
Except not everybody dislikes the taste of tobacco and it's not really that much of a hassle to roll and it helps the joint burn better.
i only smoke 'baccy when i'm having a joint with hash in it, and if i'm going to smoke pot i'll just use my spoon.
