Stoners of BBV.. a TR with cliff notes
 

So here's my story....
I'm 20 years old right now. From the time i was 16 til 19 i was a really big stoner. Like I smoked pot everyday usually twice or three times a day, my life revolved around the [censored].

One day last December I was smoking pot with my friends Sean, Shep and Jiggles...we smoked all day and it got to about 8 PM and we were on the search for someone to sell us a dime sack. We find someone, so me and Jiggles drive off to get it while Sean and Shep stay back at our place. Jiggles and I return with the sack, and all of us begin to smoke.

About 10 minutes into it, I hit the bowl. Not more than a few minutes later I start hyperventilating and freaking out. I'm convinced im choking and i cant breath. I walk outside and stand and come back in cuz its too cold. I fall to my knees and my friends mom offers to drive me to the hospital. I tell her i want her to.

We get to the hospital which is 15 minutes away...On the way i even smoke a cigarette (im obviously not chokin or whatever). We get in there and i check in with the nurses ( definitely not hot). My friends mom tells me that i was laughing hysterically half the time they were asking me my information (obv they know i was high) i get to see a doctor and he gives me like an EKG and [censored] or something and gives me some adderol.... I like doze off and wake up a few minutes later feeling great.

Not so long after i ask the doc what was wrong with me and he tells me i had an anxiety attack. He says it was "THC and an array of chemicals" in my system that caused this. I get back to the place me and my friends were at and my friend Sean tells me that he forgot to tell me that there was Opium in the bowl we smoked out of (Ive never smoked opium). I assume its the opium which [censored] me up, cuz i had smoked for a few years and never flipped out before this night.

Since that night i havent even taken a hit of pot. I feel im stupid for not doing so, since its all paranoia prlly. But what really happened to me that night BBV4L???? i want to smoke pot again but am too nervous to do so. and its been almost a year.

Cliff notes: Got really high one day in December 06, went to hospital for anxiety attack, havent smoked pot since then but want to but dont know if i should. Found out i also smoked opium which may have caused anxiety attack.

Re: Stoners of BBV.. a TR with cliff notes
 

dude that is a pathetic TR. you bugged out from smoking opium and had to get taken to the hospital!?!?! wow. that is something I would never let one of my friends forget, they would get their balls busted about that every day. I hope you have been ashamed of yourself every day since then

Re: Stoners of BBV.. a TR with cliff notes
 

tl;dr

Re: Stoners of BBV.. a TR with cliff notes
 

Sounds like your pot was jacked up with amphetamins. Happened to me like 10 years ago, same symptoms, smoking has never been the same since that happened.

Try and smoke very very little good reliable pot, and see if you get stoned much faster than usual. If so, your receptor are [censored] up, makes for cheap smoking, younever wanna cross the line by smoking too much though, cos you will have the anxiety attack again.

Good luck

i know near nothing about smoking pot. however, i'd heard a few times that often stoners after many years of smoking will have this start happening to them and pretty much have to stop, almost like it is a predictable thing. i don't remember where i read this but i've heard it like 2-3 times. anyone know what i'm talking about?

Some people (like me) just can't handle their high. I don't smoke anymore for about the same reason.

Happened to me. Smoked for 20 years, loved it, then one day it just started hitting me differently. Now I take even one hit it feels like my heart is about to jump through my chest and I break out in the sweats. Total anxiety attack. It sucks!

I will respond with what happened to me, and I hope this will clear up the situation a bit.

I started smoking weed at the tender at of 13. I was great at it, and proceded to smoke myself out out 3 different highschools into jail once or twice. Needless to say I was professional. The Pistons almost drafted me as the mascot smoker. Somehow I make it into college. A semi good one at that.

I manage to skate by in most of my classes while smoking weed as much as possible. The first 3 years this was great, as I had all the easy classes to get out of the way. My senior year, i have all the fun [censored] to do, like advanced accounting and advanced finance classes. I am probably smoking 2 joints a day by myself, and up to 3 blunts a day with all the folks I live with. I got high.

With the stress of getting all my work done, my [censored] girlfriend who I fought with alot, and all the weed in my system, it [censored] me up. I had develpoed anxiaty issues and began to have panic attacks, mostly when I got high. The first one the same [censored] happened to me: my heart was racing, I was lightheaded, I thought I was dying, and for some reason my nuts hurt (different problem? you be the judge).

I spent almost 3 years trying to figure out what the [censored] was wrong with me and learning how to deal with the panic attacks, and it sucks. They had me on meds and [censored] that made my life suck. I was always tired, and I could [censored] for hours and never bust. Some of my girls got sick of that because 45 minutes later, Im still going like a champ, and these bitches are ready to sleep. Whatever.

Anyways, now, I dont take any medicene, and I can basically talk myself out of having any panic attacks. I understand what is happening to my body, and can work through it.
If you have panic attacks:

-work out. Physical excersize is great for this. That is why walking around feels better when you are flipping out.
-dont do activities that trigger the attacks. This means no smoking weed if that is how that started.
-learn about why this happenes. Nothing is worse then thinking you are dying with no idea why.

I can smoke weed now because I know how to deal with it, but it took time. If you want to get back there, it will be a battle.

I found it really hard to deal with it because anyone who has never had a full blown panic attack has no idea what you are going through. It is by far the worst feeling I have ever had, and would probably only wish it on the worst of people.

If you got any questions, PM me. I have no problem talking about it.

You know what an anxiety attack is? It's what you call it when an adult is being a ridiculous little baby.

Waaaaahhhh I'm having trouble with my girlfriend while I sit around smoking in my dorm at some nice private college my folks paid for. Waaaaahhhhh my therapist gives me anti depressants to help me cope with anxiety of my pampered little life, but they don't work!

OMG I'M FREAKING OUT

sorry but you just come off sounding like an idiot who has no idea about chemical imbalances. People who dont have major mental health issues should really just stfu.

p.s. i love your avatar

Re: Stoners of BBV.. a TR with cliff notes
 

Ok so u are a MaJoR SToNeR u and your friends run out. So u go out searching for a dime sack? That doesnt make sense, seems like u and your friends spend all your money on crack, and then put together the last of your money for one more rock.

Re: Stoners of BBV.. a TR with cliff notes
 

Here is your solution... Next time you smoke, smoke when you are coming down from rolling. This will eliminate your thoughts of having an anxiety attack or feeling of paranoia. Best time to smoke imo...

Re: Stoners of BBV.. a TR with cliff notes
 

yeah seriously OP--if you are buying dimesacks--are you also buying [censored] ass weed? cuz that certainly would not help the anxiety issue.

Re: Stoners of BBV.. a TR with cliff notes
 

TheDoubleA, nice story. Ill take your suggestions and look into the problem a little more.

highhustla, I almost always bought quarters and it was always from a reliable friend of mine. Only reason I went and got a dime that night because i was busto, but i had gotten weed from this different guy before and had no problems with it.

I'll prlly smoke some more this weekend or something, see how it goes. Maybe another [censored] trip report for you guys if you can get so lucky.

Re: Stoners of BBV.. a TR with cliff notes
 

doesnt sound like opium to me. that [censored] will make you lay on your couch, not flip out and get all crazy-like

Re: Stoners of BBV.. a TR with cliff notes
 

I got my first one one afternoon at home - it was extremely cold outside, and I drank an entire large coffee in about 5 minutes. I was also very stoned. My mind started racing like crazy and I had all the usual panic attack crap (it really feels [censored] when you're stoned.) After 10 minutes of virtual paralysis I managed to control myself and get to a computer to Google "panic attacks." I was extremely relived to find out I wasn't dying.

You basically condition yourself for the panic attacks and your brain will build them up more and more. The location you're in, circumstances, and chemicals in your body will all be "triggers" for future attacks. They won't throw you right into them, but if you're around them, the chances of having them will increase. Once you've had one, the THOUGHT of having one can trigger them or compound one that's getting started. I only get (got) them when I'm stoned.

If you choose to toke up again, either A) don't think about anything, be comfortable and normal or B) learn about panic attacks and classical conditioning. They can be overcome. You'll have a few of varying degrees (very likely, anyway), but they can go away if you "uncondition" your brain for them. It's good to know that you will never, ever faint during them. It feels like you will, but the whole panic attack is your "fight or flight" response, you're adrenaline is pumping and your body is doing everything it can to survive (it's an evolutionary thing) - you won't faint. Prepare mentally. Smoke less than normal (also consider your tolerance is low because you haven't smoked for a while.) Don't have caffeine.

Um, good luck? I smoked a few times to see if it would go away, it didn't. I took a long break from pot. Then I decided I like to be stoned and think about life now and then, and wanted to get over it. Now I smoke a couple times a month. Don't really get them anymore.

Re: Stoners of BBV.. a TR with cliff notes
 

yeah i mean, all the people [censored] on the op, there are going to be some people who respond in this way to thc. some people just shouldn't be smoking weed, i guess. it sucks, but it's not exactly the end of the world... other ways to get [censored] up, if thats your thing.

Re: Stoners of BBV.. a TR with cliff notes
 

It could have been worse. You could have ended up trapped in a chicken coop.
