First, let me say that it was not my first time, a couple of years ago I used to smoke more frequently and I used to get mild anxiety and paranoia from it, althought not so severe. I stopped smoking. In the meantime I lost a lot of weight and I am underweight now. (I wasn`t overweight before, either, just more at a normal range of weight)
A couple of nights ago I was out with some friends. We decided to smoke weed, and I took 5-6 hits. It hit me IMMEDIATELY. I started to get strange physical sensations, my mouth got super dry and my tongue went numb. My heart started pounding hard and I felt really ill. I thought I would vomit, but I could not. I asked my friends to take a stroll and they came with me. I had no visual or auditory hallucinations, but I was feeling like I am in a dream and like my limbs are so so heavy. As we walked down the street I became super paranoid, I thought that some of my friends (they are more "experienced" than me) have laced the weed with some heavier drug. I started to panic, I experienced a full blown panic attack and I wanted to call 911. Luckily, I did not. I was reminding myself that I am just high on weed and it should pass, and no one has died from too much weed. I started to talk, I told my friends some things that I would NEVER tell in a sober state. I was begging them to tell me what is happening to me. They were having a good trip and just laughed at me. I became even more paranoid then.
The paranoia continued, I had racing, irrational thoughts, I thought that I was ruining the night and that my friends are planning something against me. I nearly cried. My limbs started shaking and I thought I will have a seizure, but I did not. I drank some more water and I went home. I went to sleep and I woke up a couple of times throught the night, still in panic.
The morning after was quite ok, I did not feel anything bad, I ate normally and behaved normally. I went to the toilet quite more often than usual. Maybe it is a sign that my body wants to let go of the substance faster?
I read a lot about this and it turned out that panic attacks on weed are a common side effect, particularly in people who are already suffering from anxiety disorders and are too skinny (like me). So I guess this was a normal reaction. But the thought that the weed was laced still scares me to death. This was enough to tell myself that I would never ever try weed again. I think it is not for me.
Does someone has a similar experience? I would be really glad to hear anything.
