almost fainted from cannabis last night
    #23830728 - 11/13/16 10:17 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

So last night I went to a concert at a venue I was just at just the previous weekend. Had been drinking some beer and decided to take a couple puffs from a bowl. I go to take my first hit, inhale, and instantly feel incredibly light headed. I stash the bowl and begin feeling extremely weird, as if my whole body was  going numb. Now I should add that I'm not a daily smoker, usually only weekends for me, but this was only a single hit. I started to feel very dizzy and confused, my vision started to go black and I couldnt hear anything but ringing.

Now at this point, I was smart enough to recognize that if I fainted I was almost definitely gonna be carted off in an ambulance by security, so I left the venue immediately walked down the street till I could find a bench. I sat down and slowly but steadily felt like the light headedness passed. After it passed I was left feeling ridiculous high, which is mind blowing cause just 5 days ago I smoked so much more than I had this night.

I should also had that I had barely slept the previous night, maybe 3-4 hours. All I can assume is that the weed drastically lowered my blood pressure or something. It was very disconcerting and I'm bummed I had to leave the show as this has never happened before

Anyone ever experience something like this? It was exactly like that feeling you get when you stand up too fast, but so much more intense

Sounds uncommon for weed, but could happen due to blood pressure/sugar. Sounds more like K2 to me, or Spice. (Synthetic marijuana)

Honestly, that sounds like you smoked weed, got scared and felt faint. It is actually not that uncommon. THC is a powerful thing I say.

I personally have fainted on a large dose of marijuana mixed with some anxiety.

Yea....

I've full on collapsed/fainted a handful of times over the years from both smoking cannabis and dabbing hash oil, I've had it happen to me on mushrooms once before as well as while on LSD.


One of the first times it happened to me I wasn't sure what was happening...now I'm familiar with the feeling of low blood pressure and manage, find a place to sit and follow my breathe for a few minutes, eat a little snack if something is around.


One time it happened I stated feeling a bit wobbly/dizzy & light headed, somewhat of a dissociated feeling and hard to focus on what my friend was saying but was still somewhat coherent. Then I got static/patterning overlaying my vision, I started to get all sweaty and just feeling like shit in general, then my vision started to go along with a very dissociated feeling, then finally my legs went all jell-o like on me and I fainted/blacked out...

As I came back to I could tell my body was convulsing momentarily, which can occur with fainting.



Another time this happened was from dabbing oil, and I collapsed into a night stand knocking over a hot incense coal, wine glasses, and all sorts of paints/pencils...Last thing I remember was observing visuals of sorts overlaying my vision for a very brief moment before I blacked out and dropped. I ended up falling onto a small dresser and a TV. I fell onto two wine glasses, one made impact on my side just below the rib cage, the other up near my neck. They didn't break, but if they did that would of been a horrible area to slice open :sadyes: . I think my head hit the hot coal I was using to vaporize the wax with but was knocked over onto my back pack quick enough that it didn't burn me.

When I started to come back to I was convulsing a bit. As I was blacking out I knew what was happening but could not do a damn thing about.


I've gone through it several other times too.

I mean it's not like it's a common occurrence but it happens, feeling light headed or full on fainting from the herb is definitely not unheard of at all....Cannabis can cause quite a drop in one's blood pressure, which is only exacerbated if one already has somewhat low blood pressure or if they so happen to have low blood sugar at the time, or if they have other drugs in their system that also lowers BP, like alcohol. I've seen threads/posts about people fainting or dropping into convulsive syncope from cannabis and/or mushrooms at least once a month around here, for many years now.

It has, yeah, it was my only experience ever with weed.

I took a toke. Nothing. Take another. Nothing. Take a third, later in the evening.. My limbs feel like they're shrinking, all numb and tingly. I feel dizzy and hurry to the toilet, thinking to myself I'm just going to sweat this one out on the bowl. It was at a housewarming, so of course other guests start knocking at the door.

I come out, it's the host. I tell her something like "Funny how there were so few people in the beginning of the evening and now there so many more people all of a sudden". Or something. She looked at me funny, so I guess I was rambling and she guessed what was going on.

Next thing I know, I wake up on the tile floor. Cold sweats, sick as a motherfucker. The host and my girlfriend are unbuttoning my shirt. I feel awful already, but then came the puking. Oh god, the puking. I have never puked so damn much in my life. An hour and a half on end, easily. I almost fainted again, just from exertion. I drag what feels like my corpse to a sleeping mat and didn't wake up until 12 hours after..

Alright opeminded, thats literally exactly what I felt like, happy I'm not the only one. I've been smoking for almost a decade now, and this has NEVER happened to me before, so I'm gonna chalk it up to me running around only 3 hours of sleep. I hope it doesnt ever happen again cause that was incredibly uncomfortable. I think my friends thought I was having a panic attack but I swear that was no panic attack. I took a single hit lol, and as I said I had smoked so much more the previous weekend and previous night.

I should add that I had been doin some K the night before as well, maybe that played a role?

I've never heard or seen anyone pass out from cannabis but that's just me, I don't think that happens to people with a tolerance, just sounds like good ole head rush from good weed with not normal blood pressure

Without a tolerance its definitely possible especially if youre dabbing.

Classicly known as greening out, rapid homeostasis change due to low tolerance. The head rush or head change is so dramatic, I haven't seen it happen personally but I have seen puking

Alcohol really potentiates weed, by a lot.

It's pretty common for people to go over the edge when combining the 2.

Not saying I agree but some food for thought...33,000 peeps is a pretty good sample size. Almost every time I smoked weed in the past I felt some of these symptoms...that, plus the basic anxiety and overall "stupid" feeling I got caused me to stop many years ago.

Personally can't imagine passing out unless you take some really big hits and you aren't getting enough oxygen or like you start coughing a ton

Or also if you take in a ton and it affects ur blood pressure, but with one hit i can't really see that happenning

although once on the come down of a shrooms trip I started spinning wwhile walking down my driveway and It started to get so intense that I felt like I couldn't stop, so I like threw myself forward or bent down or something and had the worst feeling of when ur super dizzy and disoriented for a few minutes, it scared me a bit, very stupid thing to do

I'll keep this in mind but I'm seriously no stranger to weed haha. It's not like I'm irregular smoker, as of now I don't smoke everyday but earlier this year I smoked every single night for months. I've also dabbed before and while getting incredibly high, I never once felt like I was gonna faint.

I'm gonna chalk this incident up to having been out drinking on 3 hours of sleep after doing some K the night before. I think myself as well as other people underestimate how weak the body gets when sleep deprived. Hopefully this doesnt happen again. I like to think I've got a pretty strong heart, used to run competitively and had my mile down to 4:30, never had any issues then lol

Yeah...the drinking and lack of sleep def. played a lot into it. As far as the heart goes...I used to run marathons....did a 3:13 one in 1986. Didn't seem to matter much....I guess I was just destined to not smoke weed.:sunny::peace: good luck to you.
