Smoking marijuana effects?
I recently smoked marijuana with my friends on january 17th 2010 i believe it was laced, because i began to see trails and experience vertigo and visual distortion, i remember falling down the stairs but my friend told me i did not. i felt like pins and needles where prickling me EVERYWHERE in my body. and i felt mentally detached. i was wondering maybe i had a preexisting condition and marijuana triggered it? (along the lines of depersonalization) or it was really laced, and about 2 weeks later im experiencing little dots zipping around my vision when i go into a stare and static on the ceiling at night, and also frequent adrenaline rushes and panic attacks. i was wondering if i have HPPD or am i getting flashbacks? i need to know, was it laced? can you experience vertigo and psychedelic under the influence of Marijuana also i took about 5 hits off a bowl, 6 puffs of a joint and half a blunt. the marijuana brand was Hydro. Let me know.? thanks. i was thinking it was PCP that it was laced with.
No dude the adrenaline rushes and all that shit happend Afterwars, like right now bro. i felt relaxed just really mentally detached. it was cool, but something i never wanna do again.
Sounds like you just went in over your head to me. It could’ve had something in it but honestly? I’ve smoked way more than I was used to and got pretty much everything you described–I STILL get dots occasionally and it was back in July–and as far as I know it was clean. If the rushes and panic attacks persist often for very much longer you might want to see a doctor, but otherwise I’d just chill out and let it pass.

Marijuana has many negative effects on the body. The use of marijuana can harm many different systems in the body. Marijuana can decrease ones attention span, depress the immune system, or lead to cancerous lesions in the lungs (Mendelson 1992). Marijuana can cause many negative side effects on the brain, the immune system, and the respiratory system.
The main chemical in marijuana that attacks the brain is tetrahydrocannabinol, otherwise known as, THC (Gottfried 2005). THC mainly attacks the basal ganglia, which is used for movement control, the hippocampus, which helps learning and memory, and the cerebellum, which is used for body movement and coordination (Mehling 2003). Other physical harm to the brain includes distorting the ways thing look and sound (Smith 1999), and can cause dizziness and dry mouth (Mehling 2003). When marijuana is used, all of these parts \s of the brain are delayed and can cause serious harm. The use of marijuana does not only lead to physical harm but also mental harm. The limbic system is the center of emotion, and when marijuana is used it is severely harmed (Gerdes 2002). When one uses marijuana it can cause great harm to the brain and decrease ones sense of worth.The immune system is the foundation for feeling healthy, and when marijuana is used it can make one ill. THC also affects parts of the immune system such as the macrophage cell. The macrophage clears the body of bacteria and viruses and when marijuana is used it destroys these cells causing one to be more vulnerable to getting sick (Mehling 2003). Marijuana also kills white blood cells, which help prevent against cancer (National Institute on Drug Abuse 2009). Marijuana is extremely harmful to the immune system, and can cause one to become sick.
The lungs are the main part of the respiratory system that is affected (Mehling 2003). Smoking one Marijuana joint is equivalent to smoking five cigarettes. Marijuana also speeds up the heart rate by 20 to 50% (Mehling 2003), lead to cancerous lesions in the lungs, irritation in the upper and lower airways, result in sore throat or coughing, increasing the need for oxygen, and reduces the amount of oxygen the heart gets (Mendelson 1992). Other affects that marijuana can cause on the respiratory system include increasing mucus, having chest congestion, wheezing, and respiratory system.
The brain, immune system, and respiratory system are all harmed by marijuana. It can cause motivational issues, low attention span, high blood pressure, and even cause you to have a higher risk at getting sick or even getting cancer (Mehling 2003). Marijuana has many negative side effects, and is not only harmful to the brain, immune system, and respiratory system, but to the entire body as a whole.

if you were on PCP you woulda been tripping balls trying to murder hobos. You probably just smoked some really dank trees. One time i had the same sort of thing, i smoked like 4 blunts and just sat making bass drum beats with my feet for like 45 minutes and never noticed till my friend was like what the fuckk are you doing??? You should be fine

Yeah, it’s definitely laced. I used to do it when I was in high school (about 2 years ago) and I smoked like a chimney. And I’ve never had symptoms like that. And I definitely never felt any symptoms two weeks after. Sure sometimes you feel mentally detached but the feeling isn’t strong, and your vision doesn’t get very distorted at all. And you don’t get adrenaline rushes or panic attacks. It make you mellow, happy, and lazy. You get hyper sometimes while you are high, and there are some events that make you panic but those events vary on people. The thing that made me panic when I was high was the fear of my Mom finding out I was stoned.
You should definitely check that weed out.

Marijuana alone does NOT give you those effects, so YES, it was definitely laced with something.. I’ll tell you a story, One night, i was at a friends house with my boyfriend. Our friend bought some stuff, he said it was gooooooood sh*t…lol, I didn’t even think about it.. I honestly took ONE hit, and I was completely gone…. I don’t know what the hell was in it, but he lived about 4 houses down from mine.. It took me and my boyfriend like 20 minutes to get home.. When we hit the front door, we just laid down and couldnt move.. haha I couldn’t even move my arm, and my vision was so distorted.. It felt good, but I was just really out of it, and everything was sooooooo slloooww..So I definitely know it was laced with something. It was kind of scary…I know it was laced, because I do usually smoke, and i’ve never had that happen to me..It was unlike any experience I’ve ever had before. So from now on, I’m not smoking anything if I don’t know who or where it came from, because I don’t trust people.. But no, you don’t experience vertigo or psychedelic under the influence of weed. It pretty much does sound like It was laced with PCP.. If you don’t know the people that it came from, I really wouldn’t smoke it anymore.. Because people do some messed up sh*t.. Be careful though from now on (; If you’re really worried about it though, go talk to someone if you’re still experiencing these sorts of things.. I get panic attacks a lot too.. Maybe you just have really bad anxiety.. Talk to a doctor..

Leaving DVDs in the machine? Pfft, amateur mistake! I’ve been watching porn (online) since I was about 13, and I’ve caught both of my parents with porn far more than either one has caught me.
