Nodding out from WEED?

Ok guys I've been feeling a little worried about something that happened last night.
I was at a party with some people I work with. We work at a deli and we're all college kids with literally no supervision... we kind of all work the evening shifts without anyone who owns the place working. It's just college kids, so a lot of times we'll drink a bit. Last night I had 3 shots at work, then right after work went to a party that a coworker was having. I had like half a beer and then smoked a half gram blunt outside. I was on a balcony and after I was done (I didn't expect to smoke the whole thing because there were other people who smoke there bu thy already smoked, so I get almost all of it) after smoking I started to feel dizzy.. like when u stand up to fast, and eventually everything started to flash bright, and it kept getting faster and brighter and after a minute or two I was unable to stand and literally nodded off! everyone was freaking out cus out of nowhere I just started like flailing around... eventually someone grabbed me and sat me down. I remember being conscious for the part where I was flailing around but when my friend grabbed me I was completely unconscious. He sat me down and it took like 5-10 minutes before I started to snap out of it and I could see again. I remember sitting there holding a water bottle and my friends like "dude you're spilling that on yourself!" and i looked down and it was dripping all over my jeans but I just sat there watching it. After a couple minutes I felt fine and enjoyed myself. The weirdest part was when I started to feel normal I raelized I was DRENCHED in sweat. It was crazy, my shirt was yet, my hair dripping. Absolutely nuts.
I used to get dizzy like this before either after smoking cigarettes too quickly (I don't smoke cigs) or if I smoked weed while dehydrated. I was VERY hydrated that day, I had like 5 bottles of water, so I am kidn of confused at what happened. I'm not trying to do that again lol.
Could the tobacco in the blunt wrap have caused it? I don't smoke blunts often, so could that be it? i did smoke it pretty fast..

Oh dude if it was wrapped in a tobacco leaf and you don't smoke tobacco that is definitely why. Was it like a normal blunt wrap or was it a gutted cigar? Did you feel nauseous for a while?

well if it was a tobacco wrap that is probably why you passed out.

well if it is wrapped in a tobacco leaf you should just take it out and throw it into a bowl. As long as the weed isn't damp/smell like cat piss you should be good. If it smells like weed you should just smoke it in a bowl. The tobacco leaf won't do you any favors.

It has happened to me many times in my life, it's not that uncommon for people to have this kind of reactions at some point in their lives. Sometimes when I get too high I feel the urge to sit down or I'll faint, probably because a pressure/sugar issue combined with getting too high. Specially if you were smoking a blunt and you're not a cigarette smoker. I get super dizzy out of a hit of tobacco since I don't smoke, so those two factors were probably it. I wouldn't worry more than what's necessary if I were you, just take it easy from now on to see how it goes.

bust it down and roll it up in something else like Hemp Papers. Nodding off from weed is really common if you aren't a heavy smoker.

that's very true. the first times I got high I would throw on some headphones and just close my eyes. I actually used to have weird visuals but unlike psychedelics because they were much more fleeting.

How much did you have to eat that day? Even though you were hydrated, drinking and smoking on an empty stomach can intensify pretty much everything. Having low blood sugar or low blood pressure will make you light headed if you stand up too quick or compound it with alcohol or tobacco. This happens to me sometimes so I always try to make sure to eat something before drinking. When I drink then smoke weed I always feel 10x more drunk even if I was just a little tipsy. It isn't anything to worry about, just make sure you treat your body right. Alcohol is hard on your body and processing it takes a lot out of your organs so you need those vital nutrients and minerals to help take off the added stress on them. Many people don't like to eat before drinking but I think it is stupid not to. Eat a salad or nuts before drinking, something that can be easily digested and you shouldn't have these problems. Weed also amplifies everything (especially when smoking a blunt with tobacco) so if you want to smoke while drinking, take it easy, next time you could pass out standing up and hit your head on something or the floor. You should be okay though.

That happens to me no matter the method of smoking. Ill drink a beer or two snd smoke a bowl and pass out. Sometimes i get the spins and feel sick but i always just fall asleep. My friend thinks smoking too many ciggs causes the dizzy spins.

That's not nodding out and it's not blacking out. It's called passing out and it happened to me once after about eight beers and a shit ton of high quality from a bong and I mean a SHIT ton.
Your blood pressure was too low.
