Extreme sensitivity to pot, anyone else react this strongly? [LONG POST]
    #12702272 -

Background info: Have smoked on and off the last 2 years. Have always had particularly strong reactions to cannabis.

I’m sitting on my porch in almost complete darkness, it’s a calm night with the stars shining bright and a few clouds visible. I have a full bowl of weed packed and ready to go on the porch table. In between sipping on a beer I take a few hits in this peaceful setting. It has been about a week since I smoked last, after close to a month of making it a daily habit. I knew after this much needed tolerance break I would get hit with full force. I become so absorbed gazing into the stars and start to mentally connect the dots to create rudimentary images. In particular, I am able to see the starts form a question mark and some basic geometric shapes. I finish off the bowl, and am prepared to be stoned out of my mind, but the following hours are unexpectedly intense.

As I am stargazing I start to feel a body high coming on pretty quickly. My jaw literally drops as I become completely relax and have the sensation that I am sinking into the chair. It starts to appear as if the stars slightly move whenever I focus on one. I shrug it off in disbelief and go inside to talk to my brother. I can barely string together coherent sentences as I talk to him, and I quickly realize while talking to him that I am the absolute highest I have ever been. I go back outside and begin to stargaze again. I immediately start to feel a strong body high come on again, and as I stare at the night sky in a daze, a cloud starts to slowly morph. I watch it as the edges appear to have tadpole like tales that are lined up next to each other and all move in unison. It was as if all these little tails were dancing in synchronization. I’m a little overwhelmed and try to shake it off in disbelief. I definitely wasn’t expecting to get to this point off of a single bowl, or even any amount of weed. Could you even get this high from smoking? I had no clue it was even close to being possible. I have been incredibly high in the past and have had moderately strong CEVs and visualizations, but nothing close to the OEVs I am experiencing.

I am absolutely stunned that I am being submerged in a completely psychedelic world from weed alone. I begin to get a little anxious out of disbelief and have trouble really letting go and enjoying the hallucinations. I go back staring into the sky and can’t believe what happens next. Everything literally begins to fade to grey. Once everything is completely grayscale, an intense radiant navy blue takes over my whole vision. I am still in shock that I am having full blown hallucinations; I’m not expecting it at all and am in complete awe. A plane appears in the distance, slowly gliding across my field of vision. Everything is still completely submerged blue and out of the corner of my eye the plane looks huge and it almost seems as a 3d cartoon type image. Whenever I look at it, it reverts back to the small speck of light that it really is. I try to shake it off, and start to become very uncomfortable with the fact that I am reacting this strongly. The sky takes a sudden change from blue to a fiery red in almost an instant. I start to become overwhelmed with negativity and paranoia, and I feel like I’ve entered some sort of hell. To avoid getting too anxious I decide to go converse with my brother.

I go back inside to talk to my brother and try to explain what’s going on but like before I am confused and struggle to put together a coherent sentence. I tell him everything outside turned demonic, and I begin to ask myself if I am having some sort of psychotic breakdown. I come to the conclusion that I’m just going to have to enjoy the ride and once I begin talking to my brother I start to feel relief, even though I am still hallucinating quite strongly. Everything is surrounded by a sort of aural light, almost as if I can see energy radiating off of objects. His face looks very clay-like and cartoony a d begins to morph, and one point it completely warps into what looks like Stalin’s face. At another instance it is almost as I can see through his skin (his skull is almost completely visible) and it is as if just for a few seconds I have X-ray vision. I am still in complete awe that I am actually having this experience. How can this be happening? I go upstairs with my brother to put on some good relaxing music and to talk for a while. Colors begin to change once again (but not as intensely as before), everything becomes submerged in transparent dancing green objects. My imagination is going absolutely wild and I am left with extremely creative visualizations. At one instance the walls start to breathe and sizzle, and the room starts to fade into an orange hue. I jokingly begin to visualize being a snake in this desert and I can vividly see cartoonish images of this happening. Shortly after I am struck with such an intense euphoria that leaves me in some sort of bodily orgasm, I am almost twitching in pleasure for a few minutes. At this point (about 30 minutes in to the high) the hallucinations are less dramatic and more transparent in nature; it is almost as if my imagination is projected in front of me, in a kind of opaque way. Its hard to describe but the best way to put it would be extremely lucid visualizations that are projected extremely clearly in my mind. I guess these wouldn’t be full blown hallucinations any more but more just very wild flights of fantasy that are pictured in my mind’s eye (if that makes any sense). It is kind of blurring the boundary of being an OEV, but almost as intense as the previous hallucinations. I am absolutely amazed how clearly I can picture absolutely anything that comes to mind and begin to have a lot of fun with it

The next few hours I am left in a contemplative, philosophical state; thoughts of the universe, life, death, and everything in between. I feel an extreme connection to nature and some sort of universal consciousness that transcends time and space. I felt like being in this ‘different dimension’ gave me access to this consciousness. I felt like I was on another plain of existence, and completely disconnected from everyday life. I feel like my whole outlook on life and death may be changed forever in a matter of hours of discussion. I probably have the most intellectual discussions in my life with my brother as I am coming down (somewhat). The hallucinations subside but I am still in an incredibly altered state of mind of the next 5 hours or so. I wake up the next morning still feeling (throughout the day) like my thought patterns are different, still feeling extremely contemplative and disconnected. I have no clue how an experience like this could have come about, but it was incredibly intense. I feel like my days of smoking socially are definitely over, and I am still trying to grasp what happened. I highly doubt it was laced, as the person who I bought from uses it daily and reacts normally. I already know I am going to get a lot of skeptical responses, “you can’t trip from weed” and so forth. I just thought I would put my experience out there and see if there is anyone else who can relate to this. I’m very curious to know what everyone’s take is on this

It happens. Just gotta know your limits. When I first started drinking coffee I had to really watch myself or I'd be tweaked right out babbling a mile a minute. Now unless I switch to tea for long periods of time I can drink three or four cups a day before I start to get 'overly' high.

And getting back to the topic of weed, frequently it's just nicer to take one hit and go do your thing rather than get all :vaped: out.

IMO weed without a tolerance sucks. Furthermore "smoking" weed to me is much less enjoyable than vaporizing it. I literally cannot smoke weed after vaping for so long. it leaves me feeling like I am going to have a panic attack every time. I often wonder if most of the "negative" effects of weed are simply from the smoke and the Cannaboids that break down at higher temp. I can safely say that I never want to "smoke" weed ever again.

Interesting, I have never vaped before. I'd much rather sit on my porch and take my time than have to suck vapor out of a bag though. I got a little paranoia, but I'm just confused to how one bowl of mids left me with full blown OEV hallucinations. Wasn't a particularly positive or negative experience, just very intense and psychedelic.

If I smoke weed I am in some kind of mental hell within 5 minutes. Forget talking to people, I'm struggling to keep my sanity at that point. Even secondhand fucks with me if I'm overexposed

Yea, I'm not sure I will ever be able to smoke socially like I did in the past after this experience. I can definitely relate to what your saying, in the past I have had some pretty nasty panic attacks and could barely string together a sentence, much less socialize.

You can vape with a bowl as well. I have a friend who gets very schizo when he smokes weed (conspiracy theories, aliens etc) and to be honest its always annoying. If we vape NONE of that happens.Awhile back I was having panic attacks when I smoked weed. I observed that it happened the worse with a bowl, slightly less with a bong and NOT ONCE with my vaporizer. Vaping saved me from having to stop smoking weed (as in my life the pros vastly outweigh the cons). I get just as high with my vape without the mental garbage. I'm not saying its fact, but its what I have observed.

whoa, op. you should offer a tldr because i did not want to read that essay about your sensitivity to pot. i hope you understand.

but i can sympathize with what i've gathered from the title of this thread. i started smoking when i was 13. i would totally just lose my shit back then when i got stoned. it was like actually getting high back them.

now, with just about 8 years of smoking under my belt, it's a pretty subtle feeling that the smoke induces and even when i consume a lot i can still remember my name/what i'm doing and shit like that.

my point being; you should smoke more to increase your tolerance and you probably won't be so sensitivity. look at it as a blessing, you'll spend less money and inhale less combusted plant matter because of it .

I get these panic attacks horribly when I smoke dank. I've since switched to smoking regular seedy bud.

I've never smoked a vape before. How much does it cost for a decent one? Are the cheaper ones still efficient?



You could buy a Vapor Genie for ~$70 or a Magic Flight Box for ~$99. The best I have tried yet is the Vapor Bros which is $150.

I understand, I should have put a warning in the title. But in a nutshell: one bowl of mids = level 3 trip with strong OEV hallucinations. I definitely know what you mean about loosing your shit, my first few experiences were extremely intense, but nowhere near this.

I feel like your right, it could definitely be a blessing - I just have to treat it as if it were a sacred powerful substance so I can actually gain insight from these experiences. I know most people probably can't relate, but weed gives me an extremely intense experience and I can never look at it the same after this night.

yeah i've been there. you're in a unique position. when i was like 14, i saw it as something i should overcome just because it wasn't 'normal'.

don't mean to derail, just a side question; have you ever tried acid?

Never tried acid. I do wonder how I would react though, considering how weed can be overwhelmingly intense for me. Common sense tells me I probably wouldn't be able to handle it considering my reactions. What have your experiences with it been like? (assuming you have tried it)

You just need a tolerance. I hate Marijuana without a tolerance.

The scary side of weed is much more frightening than Acid for me, but I do not think you should take acid.

check your private messages box.

personally, I don't think you can accurately predict how you might react to acid by extrapolating your experiences with pot.

if you have a history of genetic mental conditions in your family, you should stay away from psychedelics until you do a fair amount of research.

yeah im starting to hate the act of smoking weed, unless its cooled and filtered through a bong. the smoke really afects my high, the taste of stale smoke, irritated lungs :thumbdown:

I know what your taking about, when i first started smoking weed i always get super baked and got an uncomfortable feeling in my body and my inner dialogue would destroy me. I than tried a bong and it really helped me out but i would only take one hit and be done.

now that my tolerance is a lot higher it's not so bad anymore smoking from a regular bowl but if i had to choose between a vape or a bowl i would definitely go with the vape.

also for me acid is soooo much more fun than weed because one good hit my mind is clear but i have energy and confidence. but i don't smoke weed on acid cause it fucks me up to the point of insanity.

you would be surprised of how many people experience the same thing from weed as you do. A lot of my friends that have been smoking a long time i told me that they had crazy moment with pot like i did and honestly i think everyone has had bad times with weed at one point or another.

Well, I definitely wouldn't consider this a 'bad time'. I always get super baked, regardless of my tolerance. But its just the intense psychedelic nature of my experiences that have been a shocker. The body high and inner dialogue is a given for me - regardless of tolerance.

I've definitely heard of acid being more clear minded. Strange that weed can spiral a trip downwards so easily. I have yet to meet anyone who has a similar reaction that I do. No one I have met can relate to the hallucinations, the most I've heard from others is intense Close eyed visuals. Never Open eyed.
