Passing out from Pot.

Ok so I've only expressed this to my friends, and I never really got a straight answer as to what it was. But some people had mentioned having similar experiences. I'll keep it short but start at the beginning.
I have been smoking pot since the age of 15, I am now shy of 22.
Between the ages of 17-20 I experimented with pot, alcohol, painkillers, amphetamines, cocaine, ecstasy, mushrooms, LSD, ketamine, 2-ci, DXM, and salvia. (This mayyy have something to do with it?)
The first time this happened was when I was in the back seat of my friends car, I had only had 3 beers and began to smoke a bowl. I started to feel light headed and dizzy, upon flipping open my cell phone my entire vision became white and I couldnt see a thing. Thankfully we parked and I sat down on the curb and was fine in 5 minutes.
The second time it happened I was in a movie theater, and only a little high but high enough, I walked outside to stand in a VERY long line for popcorn, as the line inched closer I began to feel very anxious and the closer I got to the front of the line the more anxious I got. I began to feel dizzy and light headed, my vision started to leave me, everything was blurry, my coordination skills left me and I started stumbling through the crowd of people in lines. I finally found a closeby pillar and sat down until I felt better.
The third time was full blown. I smoked 4 blunts while sitting in the passenger seat on a 5 hour ride to visit my younger sister at college. I had not had any water or moved for a very long time. We got out to go to a gas station and I felt fine, upon walking through the store and selecting my munchies, I began to feel a sense of anxiety and fear. I quickly rushed to get some random chips and walked fast to the counter to pay for my things. I had recognized this feeling before and knew that I had to evacuate immediately. I handed the cashier my money as I fell backwards, knocking down a stand of red bulls and hitting the floor. My stomach was to the ground and my head was resting against the automatic sliding door as people watched me, my friends thinking I was joking. I was conscious of what was happening to me but tried vigorously to get up, I kept getting a few inches off the ground but would fall right back down hitting my head against the sliding door. Sounds were faded, I remember hearing a high pitched noise, not being able to see. It was like I was in a mid seizure. I got up very quickly and said "Im just fucking with you guys" in an attempt to make it seem like I was joking. But I walked out forgetting my change and my munchies. It really freaked me out.
It happened again 2 months ago, smoked 2 blunts with a friend, felt really anxious and paranoid, went to his bathroom, couldnt pee, and had to sit on the ground because I felt dizzy.
Is my brain getting too old for pot? Is it because I'm slightly ADD? Is it because I ate too many mushrooms or ecstasy? Would it have anything to do with sitting in the same place for a long time, not being hydrated, or having low blood sugar?
I hate it when it happens!!!

A few of my friends have complained of this.
Try taking a benzo maybe? Those always eliminate all of the anxiety for me, except I do tend to lose chunks of time...

It has happened to me, I think it has to do with blood sugar. Well, at least that can be one reason. My blood sugar spikes after I get high and if I haven't eaten and am dehydrated and drinking and shit, then it just makes me feel terrible.

Yeah I mean don't get me wrong I'm an avid smoker, I can handle a lot of pot. It just seems that randomly every once in a while I get that feeling. It happens maybe twice a year, but more frequently in the past 2 years. I guess from looking at each experience. I was sitting down for a long amount of time without conversation and thinking a little too much. But even then I dont even know if its that, sometimes the pot is just too much for my brain to handle, and its as if I go into a "bad trip" as if I would on mushrooms.
I hate having to be the pussy who has to ration his pot use.

I've had several friends with this issue, and I've had a few near pass outs myself, usually after marathon sessions. Sometimes its kinda a spinning sensation in my head , and then I can feel the blood drain out of my face..I read an article that states that marijuana affects blood flow in the brain, perhaps this is the problem??

Yeah thats what it sounds like to me too, but I have never had any anxiety problems. I know you all arent doctors, but do you think too much ecstasy use or mushroom or lsd or ketamine or dxm could suffice some type of anxiety or a.d.d disorder?

Hydration is the way to go! It also really helps with the red-eye. Several occasions, I've been so high my head throbs, my eyes practically deflate, and I get scared that i'll stop breathing. It's almost like a bad trip, just not really tripping; really fucking high instead. It's not pleasant...but ive never almost passed out. Myk

I really don't think so. I think at best a bad psychedelic experience could have brought up some underlying mental issues that triggered this new found anxiety. Then again marijuana is weird and after the first anxiety trip, usually it doesn't go away just like that... at least that's what I've read from many users on here.
It's like now that you know it exists...

I have never had a bad trip on hallucinogens. I have had some uncomfortable mushrooms trips that I was able to maintain, and some disorienting LSD trips that somehow I survived. The closest I came to a bad trip was when I ate 2-ci and it kept getting stronger and stronger even after 7 hours, stronger than any mushroom trip I had ever had. I later found out I had eaten a tripple dosage and I stopped tripping hard after 17 hours. After or 9 hours I was convinced I was going to be stuck that way forever. But looking back on it, it wasnt very traumatizing, just only at the time it was, it was more disorienting and uncomfortable.
I've heard the low or high blood pressure or blood sugar, I'm just trying ot think of ways to prevent it. I do know that water is an all around remedy though, its why we are here to begin with.
Thanks for listening to my experience, I am just trying to tie some loose ends with my brain thats all haha.

Well, you could always start consuming way too much salt and have consistently high blood pressure. Probably a bad idea, though.

Low blood pressure. I get this sometimes, and get it when i "get up too fast" i call it a "white out." Pretty common, nothing to be worried about.

This is referred to as "Greening out". Usually happens to people when they have smoked a lot. I'm a big pot smoker but it has happened to me twice both times i had been blazing and hadn't moved in a long time then when i started walking away I felt light headed and passed out. It happens randomly to some people. I'm not really sure how to prevent it other than keeping hydrated and fed. Feeling anxiety about it probably makes it worse so if it starts to happen again just sit down drink some water and take a few deep breaths and try to keep calm.

I wouldn't call it greening out. I have some friends who when they smoke alot end up feeling sick, puking then passing out. I'd say that's more greening out then just getting anxious.

I have definitely experienced this as well... I can usually trace it back to not eating/drinking enough. Dang weed making me forget to eat.
