That usually happens when MJ causes an anxiety attack in anxiety-prone people. Happened to me a lot when I smoked really good weed. It's one of the reasons I stopped doing it altogether. It would just make you feel like you were going insane.

I always drew a parallel between that and bad acid/shroom trips, although they were a lot more intense... but still caused by the same issue, so there was the same tone.

Weird. I can't say I've ever experienced that or known anyone else who has either. I've known a couple people who get mildly paranoid or whatever, but nothing serious like you're describing.

Yea, it would be the difference between mild paranoia and a full-on anxiety attack.

No, nothing as serious as that. It's just that sometimes all of my insecurities and fears bubble up and intensify, especially if I'm smoking alone.

Oh and I didn't get high the first couple of times I smoked either. I think it was on the third try, and that was pretty unmistakable. Btw, no one told me that my heart rate would go up so I was pretty freaked out when it started pounding away, and I just sat on the couch, immobilized, watching a film in a haze. Not a particularly fond memory. :\

I'm another one that didn't get high my first few times smoking at all. I had a few tokes, felt nothing. And you can imagine how fun it is to be the only sober person in a room full of stoned people.

In fact, the first time I actually got high was when I went and knocked on my brother's car window to ask for something while he was hotboxing himself. Ahh, memories...

I like to embrace the unknown. I like to be reminded that every little detail in the way my consciousness works without any drug is so fragile and contained that it is a miracle it works at all. I smoke plenty of bud in party situations, but psychedelics are more important than that for me. They are not meant to be partied with, but to be taken seriously as educational tools. I don't support people taking them unless they can approach it with a similar mindset. Underestimating a drug is the best way to get a freak out.

I've only tried weed once, at a party. I had already had eight beers and was quite drunk. My friend who smokes all the time, this girl who smokes alot that I met at the party, and another of my friends(a first timer too), shared a small-medium joint. I probably smoked the most, maybe half the joint, and the smoking friend and the girl said I held it in quite well.

The smoking friend said I would probably get high, but I didn't feel any different than before. I'm wondering if I didn't take enough or if the beer masked the effects somehow. If it's the former how much would it take to get high?

you didn't inhale properly. after you hit it, keep breathing in for 10sec or so then hold for as long as you can comfortably. don't forget to exhale.

You're might be right but the kid I smoked it with said I inhaled it good, and this kid is the biggest pothead I've ever met. I sucked in for a while too, probably more than 10 seconds. I held it in for quite a while too.

But I was pretty damn drunk at the time, so maybe I just remember it totally wrong.

I dunno man... I didn't get noticeably "high" my first time because I had absolutely no idea what "high" was. I had nothing to relate to. I remember feeling different, but I didn't know if that was the weed or if I was expecting something so much that I was fooling myself into the wrong thing.

The second time, was better. I think the third time I did it I really began to figure out what to expect and to appreciate those effects.

Then, years and years later...
