i nearly died.

[msbrooklyn]

im not here to tell anyone what to do but i will tell you what has happened to me. two months ago i started smoking pot and it was great i wont lie. i completely enjoyed it. i was smoking every other day if not every day. my grades were great, my friends still liked me. then one day about a month ago i got high and everything went wrong. after my third hit i passed out i woke up in the kitchen with no idea how i got there. my body was vibrating i felt dehydrated the room was spinning and i could bearly stand. i blacked out/passed out again and im in my moms room telling her what happened. once more im out i wake up crying telling her im gonna die my hearts racing i cant breathe i cant remember anything or stay awake. out again. im in the car shes asking me questions i dont know any of the answers. black. in the hospital now begging the nurses to help me. into the dark again. im in a bed hooked up to wildly beeping machines theyre telling me to calm down or ill have a heart attack. my last words to my mom are i lived a good life. i pass out good and wake up an hour later. i go home and now here i am telling you all. it may be fun, but its unpredictable. and what i went through.... i wouldnt wish on my worse enemy. its not the death that scares me, but the dieing.

One of these things happened:
a.) You had an allergic reaction and you went into shock.
b.) Because you were high you had an anxiety attack - happens if you smoke too much, I thought I was dying many-a-times.

i think i had an allergic reaction too and ive smoked way more than that before so it cant be B my point was you never know what can happen when you smoke. so dont lol

[AllThatIsLeft]

There is also a chance your weed was laced with something else.

[msbrooklyn]

There is also a chance your weed was laced with something else.

possible but not likely i had already smoked off of that same bag 3 times and i was fine up until then

[ShatteredWings]

It still could have been laced, with whatever it was laced with having collected in what you were using this time

[Rutherford The Brave]

Or you could've not been smoking Weed at all and rather have been smoking K2 a kind of fake weed that has effect similar to the one you had.

[deadpie]

This. K2 is seems to cause more danger than marijuana imo. I knew a girl who was a pot smoker and the day she tried K2 she ended up getting really sick. Because it's synthetic, they also add other things to it.

It wouldn't be surprising to get something laced in it either. If you're a frequent smoker and then all of a sudden this happens, that sounds pretty reasonable.

There is also the possibility that if you are under any antidepressants or medication, that mixed with marijuana/almost anything mixed with marijuana can have effects on people. It should be obvious that some things aren't meant to be mixed together - like heroin and cocaine, which is what people do when they want to 'speedball'. Using both of these together is as dangerous as meth.

Illegal and prescribed medications both have effects on people. That's why doctors usually check things before putting you on something. Sense marijuana is only legal for medical reasons (and only in certain places for certain reasons), you still have to fit the health guidelines to be put on it.

You could have an allergy to it. Yeah, that's possible, but rare.

[BeautifulDisaster]

I doubt you nearly died, as said, it may have just been a different type of drug you were smoking, too much weed can also cause panic attacks and it increases your heart rate, which may have been what happened. You also sound like you were panicky, which would have further increased your heart rate & lowered your oxygen saturation.

If they were that concerned that you could have died, they would have kept you in longer & treated you for the dangers that could have happened.

Just don't smoke as much, & be sure you are smoking the real thing next time. Get it off a more reliable dealer.

[msbrooklyn]

i know it wasnt k2 and all of your suggestions are plausible i just want people to know weed is more dangerous than your led to believe and scary too. when i started smoking i thought it was a "safe" drug but its not. i went through 3 different drug classes and they all said every drug was scary yet marijuana was left out. its just so socially acceptable that no one really cares anymore. it shouldnt be that way anything can happen when you do any type of drug.

[wtblife]

It's weird hearing you say exactly the opposite of what people used to say. Weed used to be treated like some sort of terrible drug and health class considered all drugs evil. It sounds almost like you want the propaganda and misinformation back. I know that isn't what you mean, but I just found it kinda funny cause it's the opposite of what I used to always hear people say.

Anyway, I think it's possible that you could have had some sort heart arrhythmia that caused you to panic due to weed's variety of effects, but what did the hospital say was happening? When I smoke a lot I often find myself having a hard time holding on to reality and sorta black out like that, I don't think you were actually passing out or anything though, it's just part of weed's effects.

As much as I don't like the misinformation that people spread about it being harmless, I have to agree that it is unlikely you were about to die and you might have just panicked a bit, not to say it isn't possible. It's also pretty unlikely it was laced like some people said...

Don't smoke as much if you're going to continue smoking imo and you'll probably be fine, but weed does trigger panic attacks for some people, even after smoking for years without problems. Panic attacks can actually be dangerous and cause problems breathing and stuff so I'd still be careful, they're quite terrible to experience.

[msbrooklyn]

the hospital said that if i didnt calm down i could have a heart attack, i also have an irregular heartbeat so that might be why they were so concerned. and yeah i want people to know how unpredictable drugs are you never know if its gonna end up good or bad. dont get me wrong i love smoking but ill never do it again. im not telling anyone not to do it im just warning you so if you do end up freaking out i can say i told ya so :P

not true patrick allergies are very weird they can appear suddenly and disapear just as quickly. i have a friend who has been allergic to peanuts her whole life but now she can eat them. as with anything potentially dangerous you have to be willing to take the risk.

[Strength]

you smoked waaaaaaaaaaaayyy too much!

[lightkun]

Me and my friend smoked pot and he had an allergic reaction. He had a seizure and just went limp. He couldn't move. It was the weirdest thing. But whats different is that he was conscious the whole time. He was like "dude, I was awake the whole time, I just couldn't move." he thanked me for not freaking out because it probably would have freaked him out even though I was really worried.


Is your mom ok with you smoking pot? The black outs doesn't exactly have to be related to pot ether. It could have been something totally different.

[msbrooklyn]

yeah its crazy the things that can happen to you when you get high. i have noticed that since i went through all that that sometimes i feel out of reality and that nothing around me is real ive even questioned being alive sometimes. i think i might be a ghost :| see im STILL trippin!!!

You don't trip on Weed.

Yeah, you trip on acid or shrooms, but not weed. What you are talking about sounds like LSD because when you do LSD some of it gets stored by your fat cells and then when you burn those cells, you trip again. It is not as intense, but you trip nonetheless.

i know guys im just saying that since i smoked the weed this has been happening im no doctor or specialist im just telling you whats happening to me. and im pretty sure you cant smoke acid :| ive never even done acid... only thing ive ever done is smoked weed.

You're just coming to question reality / life. There's nothing wrong with it - most people don't because they're distracted by other stuff i.e. the media / fashion / celebrity.

[Shenron]

No, but the weed could have been laced with PCP....You said it was after your third hit that you started passing out or whatever. You wouldn't have noticed the difference. PCP can be stored in fat cells and released later. This in not common, but it is not extremely rare either.

Note: I realized after I posted previously that LSD can't be smoked, heat kills LSD so that theory is wrong. Lacing weed with PCP however, has become more and more common with dealers trying to get their clients hooked on weed so they will keep coming back. In the long run, the price hit they take from the lacing repays them exponentially.

You probably smoked catnip.

[The Joker]

You have an irregular heart beat, that's the problem.

[Sordid Saint]

Not meaning to change the subject, but LSD is water soluble not fat soluble. Water soluble things get broken down in the liver, and get excreted out through the urinary tract, so it never really gets into the fat. :P

Anyways, you have an irregular heartbeat, and you probably just had an anxiety/panic attack because you were zoning out and thought you were blacking out. Like some other people said, a lot of times you just loose all sense of your surroundings and zone out, and you come back and say "woah" lol.

[Rutherford The Brave]

No legit, I know a kid who had the same thing happened to him. After he smoked catnip....

[Shenron]

Yeah, I wasn't exactly all there when I posted, I said LSD when I meant PCP....sorry about that.

[msbrooklyn]

if it was laced with pcp that would make sense... and catnip smells completely different lol.

[Rutherford The Brave]

The funny thing is it doesnt, its a sister plant of weed.

[Shenron]

The funny thing is it doesnt, its a sister plant of weed.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say he didn't know what you were talking about lol

And yes, it would make sense if it was laced with PCP.

[msbrooklyn]

i dont know what hes talking about either. i mean ive spent a lot of time smelling weed but i dont exactly go around sniffing cat toys :| but i think ive made my point drugs are unpredictable but i do believe weed is the lesser of the evils. youll just never catch me smoking it again

[msbrooklyn]

well i heard today that the weed i got was actually ment for another girl. the dealer put pcp in it to try to get this other girl to overdose :| so yeah.... that explains it....

[lightkun]

well i heard today that the weed i got was actually ment for another girl. the dealer put pcp in it to try to get this other girl to overdose :| so yeah.... that explains it....

Why would he want her to overdose?? WTF???

[msbrooklyn]

i dont know he had a problem with her or somethin i dont know the whole story. but i must admit there are a lot of people who dont like her. all i can say is he must have been pretty pissed because thats some heavy shit... i wouldnt wish an overdose on my worse enemy...

[lightkun]

I once overdosed on pills (I used to be a pill head) I stopped breathing for a few seconds and passed out. It was horrible.

[Rutherford The Brave]

Dealers dont lace weed. Its too costly, to lace one gram would cost well over 100$ of pcp......Who would do that?

[wtblife]

Lacing weed with PCP however, has become more and more common with dealers trying to get their clients hooked on weed so they will keep coming back

Totally the opposite is true, in the past it was decently common to sell stuff dipped in liquid PCP, but that isn't the case today. PCP is nowhere near as available as it used to be. Also I don't really think PCP would exactly help get anyone hooked on it... Weed is easy as hell to sell as well, this theory is just whack.

[msbrooklyn]

im just going by what i was told. and if you look up the effects of a pcp overdose it matches what i went through that night.

[lightkun]

I love how everyone thinks they know what they are talking about. Lol

[msbrooklyn]

LMAO yeah me too!

[Rutherford The Brave]

It just sounds stupid that someone would want to overdose someone. Overdosing is fucked up, and not something stupid to fuck around with people. I know when someone says that I know for a straight fact that they are lying. I've seen people overdose, its fucking straight in your face one of the scariest things you'll ever have to deal with.

[msbrooklyn]

hey dude thats just what i know, he had a problem with the girl and she gave the weed to me. obviously there was something in it. i dont know it could have been and accident. or the guy is really fucked in the head, im not surprised by the stupid things people will do these days. and yeah i know its scary!

[Rutherford The Brave]

Im sorry but you dont know until you see someone 13 beers deep go into a k-hole and pretty much go into a straight up coma and be un responsive at your bands gig while in the middle of your set. But dont worry Its only like the umptienth time

Well, PCP is more addictive than weed, hence, people would actually be addicted to the PCP, but they would think it was the weed and come back to keep buying from that same dealer. And, I know for a fact that in some areas, dealers still lace the weed they sell first time buyers with PCP, especially where I am from (Augusta GA)
I love how everyone thinks they know what they are talking about. Lol
I don't think I know what I am talking about. My dad was a police officer for over 30 years. He was a Captain on the force and he commanded the Narc. Unit. Then he went on to the DEA and worked for them for a while. He knows what he is talking about and that's where I got most of my info.

i know that must have been scary for you to see but you have to understand I MYSELF went through this. whether it was a real near overdose or not ill never know but when your going in and out of reality, you can bearly walk or speak and you honestly think your gonna die there is nothing scarier than going through that.

[Rutherford The Brave]

I went through it too, and I'm telling you straight up that it is extremely, and almost incredibly hard to overdose on weed. Even if its laced. I've overdosed on nitrous, I fished out and hit my head. Was out for 6 straight hours.

[msbrooklyn]

its crazy all of it. wish i had listened to everyone who told me not to do any of this crazy shit. wish i could turn back... temptations a bitch.

[Socio]

You know you cant put the blame all on weed. Sure its a fun drug and it can have a lot of positive effects, but it is still a drug. And differing from person to person the effects can vary. You just happen to get a lot of anxiety when you smoke and it ends up like it did. But again weed is still a drug and not necesariky for everyone.

I was wondering though, are you on meds? Because weed can interfere with your meds and do weird shit. Like if your on ADD meds or stimulants amongst others, you could get terrible panic attacks. For instance i'm on ADD meds and if i smoke to much and have panic attacks almost as severe as yours. But it does not happen as much anymore.

This does not scare me though because i enjoy smoking, and infact i've been high the whole time i've been typing this. Enjoy

[msbrooklyn]

lmao no i wasnt on any meds at the time i got high. i know that similar things can happen to someone who is on meds and smokes to much. and since i am not on medication im deffinatly not going near any weed besides i got accepted to pilot school and they have zero tolerance for pot heads. im just gonna leave this chapter of my life behind me and move on. you guys can stay on the ground and get high but im gonna take off and reach even higher :)

Shit man, I've had some fun with nitro but never seen that happen to anyone. Damn that must have been scary as hell waking up from that. The only thing I've ever been close to ODing on was vicodin. It was pretty scary but all that happened was it got hard to breath and then I passed out. Waking up after OD is wicked scary.
