Bad Trip

[BreShiE]

Okay, well after my day-long quest on finding ways to make a home made bong, I finally made one out of a can. So after smoking the 8th it started off quite well. It was really weird, I felt like a weight and could feel myself swaying. But then, it all changed and made me start to feel as if oil was dripping down from my head, I could feel the puddles collecting in my ears and I had to wipe it off with my hand (i couldn't feel it on my hands). I knew it wasn't real, but it felt it... After a while the feeling decreased and I started to feel really tired.

Has anyone else experienced this with Marijuana before? I've talked to a few of my friends (daily smokers) and they said this shouldn't happen with Marijuana. It's obviously not normal, but is it expected? I know Marijuana is a hallucinogenic, but can that effect feelings? I couldn't see the oil or anything.

How did you assume it was oil? Hallucinogen's can do all sorts of things, they all play with your brain, which essentially interprets what you feel based on the nerve messages being sent up there.

I remember when I was like 10, I got nits, and to get rid of it there was this special cream stuff to get rid of it, and it was like oil, and this felt the same way.

I once smoked weed, two joints one after the other. Playing games to hold it in for like a minute at a time. - I felt stoned but nice, walked for a couple of minutes then it hit me.

I saw patterns through both my eyes, spiralling and wiring round, I was extremely off balance and slumped on a bench. I spent an hour or so going through hot sweats, trying to move from bench to bench trying to get home. I'd sit down for like 10 minutes start walking again and after a few steps it would all start again and I'd fall to the floor or to the bench.

I then spent a further two hours sat on this bench being extremely paranoid. On several occasions I thought my heart had stopped and would throw my shirt open pounding my chest. Thinking I was dying.

A guy walked past a few hours in, saw I was struggling and offered me a hand. - He then stole my wallet, keys and phone. I lost about £100 and all my cards.

It was a constant "Whiteout" and I was terrified. I have never touched drugs since.

Lol you lot are mental. Only time I've ever thought that I was tripping on skunk was when I smoked a 20 bag of orange haze, and thought I could hear an old lady singing while she was walking past me at like midnight, but then again I suppose it could of happened?

Worst experience I've ever had was when I went blind for a few seconds, but I put that down to a few other reasons, other than having 2 joints within the space of 10 minutes. It was winter so was freezing outside, and I was sitting on the train where it was completely boiling, so I think that the sudden temperature change was partly something to do with it. It was the same feeling if you're going to faint, so it was like I fainted, but could still walk? If that makes sense?

I wouldn't be too worried though. As long as you know your limits and don't over do anything then you should feel nicely stoned without any bad side effects.

I'm not a frequent weed smoker, and this was my first time smoking on my own. Could it've been laced? Or maybe I just smoked too much and whitied?

@Sam I kind of had the same effect, just not as intense.

I would have to be the most regular smoker here i would imagine.
Smoked basically every day for the past 24 years.
Smoked some of the best herb you will ever come across and i can say this is NOT normal.

Can i ask what sort of can you used to make the bong?
This could be the issue. Perhaps its stripping off some of the coating of the can when heating up and thats what is making you feel weird.
Look man there is only one way to make a good bong.
Spring valley! Its the only way to smoke IMHO.

Now for my bong LOLOLOL. Yea its a bit dirty but well worked i tells ya.
Owned this one for quite a few years now.

It was an aluminium coke can. I would buy a bong, but the only problem then is hiding it. I still live with my mother and she doesn't know I smoke ciggerettes, never mind Weed.

By the way, I did a little reading last night and it could be because I smoked too much. But an 8th isn't too much, is it?

[DAMINK™]

NO way is that to much man.
How are you using the can may i ask?
A pipe in the can and water or by pushing the can in at bottom and making a few holes and then toking from the mouth piece (dry pipe)
My prefered choice if i had to use a can would be a dry pipe for sure.

[BreShiE]

The second one you mentioned, formed a wall with the can, poked a few holes in, made a carb and toked through the drinking part. ;)
