Feeling really strange after smoking marijuana.

For about a month ago I smoked marijuana with 2 friends, this time I smoked alot. I almost freaked out because I got the feeling i would never be normal again. Now to the problem, 1 month after i still feel strange it's like im still a little bit high but in the same time im not. At nights I become very scared, I get the feeling that im going to die but. Will this go over or am I going to feel like this all my life? Oh by the way, I searched on the net to see if I was the only one feeling like this, I found some simmilar questions as mine. What is this I just want to feel normal again.

This happened to me last year in May! I got really night and before i knew it everything was really weird it's almost like everything would go black and then everything would come back in that I was seeing. I stopped smoking after that for a year. Then One day I smoked again with my ex boyfriend and the same exact weird high happened to me with everything going black and coming back in besides this time I didn't panic because I was in my own house I feel like maybe I felt safe! But I smoked one more time and I was scared I thought I died. Later on I did research and it's called depersonalization disorder look it up.

OMG, I have the exact same thing :'(

I bonged 2 heads one on Friday and one on Saturday
I was doing it for 2 months (once-twice a week) without any side effects
but this time it was different :(

I feel like my senses are not tuned right...  it's the second day after smoking..
when I'm eating or drinking, I'm not sure I'm really doing it, but then I understand I did it..

when my hand or leg feels itchy and I scratch myself, I'm feeling weird..  like I'm not really doing it, and the feeling itself is so weird...

never smoked too much though..
I'm certain it was the medical ****.

I'm getting off of it, will see what happens, hope the weird feeling is not for life..

WOW sounds exactly like what happened tome a long time ago. I have never been big on weed done it like 4-5 times all my life but last time this happened to me n a lot of ppl tell me it had to be laced with something I dunno but it was like two months later when I finally kinda let it go and forgot about it and felt normal again. But like other said I had panic attacks and all that but I think the worst part of this whatever it is called that happened to me was a lot of time I would be doing whatever and start questioning if it was real or not I guess you would say questioning reality because I would be like a&m I dreaming or is this really happening and them panic attack would start and I dunno it was terrible but seemed like once I kinda just let it go I felt fine and needless to say I will NEVER SMOKE WEED AGAIN

hey folks,
i felt same as you guys did.
When i smoked marijuana after 5 min it was like thousands of pictures were floating in front of my eyes within a second and my mind was not able to concentrate on a single one.
It makes you feel like paranoid person.
But beleive me and have faith in yourself . .
You know that you are alright.+and these panick attacks will go away once you had a proper medications.
Stay away from bad things.
Be pure

Marijuana isn't "proper medication" but something a doctor prescribes you is? Just because he is a doctor and approves of the chemicals you're putting in your body doesn't make you "pure"

This happens every time i smoke now. I have looked around the net and found that this has been happening to allot of people. It could have been pesticides, but, I know it had nothing to do with being really high.

Sounds like ya all just got some killer stuff and couldn't handle it. Lol. Maybe it was pesticides and you had a bad reaction. Don't smoke pot unless you know where its been grown. Think about the chemicals they spray for bugs or fertilizers on it.

For a few years I used to smoke weed every day. However, I took a break for about a month, and then went to smoke with some friends. But when I got about half an hour into the high everything changed. My vision became distorted, I felt very small and stupid, and the world seemed fake. I hurriedly extricated myself from the circle and went on a long walk to try and comprehend what was happening. Eventually, I got home and went to bed, but, when I woke up, I felt different. Since then, I have been attempting to improve my condition and have found that exercise, both mental and physical, help. As well as meditation. When I meditate, I visualize my consciousnesses and thoughts expanding throughout my mind. These two activities have helped me allot, and I just thought I would share them with all of you.

Peace and love to you all.

OMG!! Have just been reading these posts and had a thought.
6 weeks ago, for the first time in my life, I made myself a cup of tea with strained marijuana, about a teaspoon full as I thought it would help me relax and sleep.

It didnt seem to have any effect at all.

6 days later I experienced a massive panic attack, following a day of depression - I have never had one before in my life.  The doctors and I attributed it to the heavy stress in my life.

Since then have been on a downward spiral, hopefully heading upwards now, as I was put on Xanax for the attack, then a valium wean to get off of it - I got quickly dependent on both as obviously my metabolism is very sensitive and am going through severe withdrawal symptoms now, YES even after 4 weeks of those drugs only!

But ... had completely forgotten about the marijuana tea until I read these posts and now I am wondering whether it was possible for it to have caused the panic attack, albeit several days later, or would it have happened anyway as it was a particularly stressful week???  Hmmm.

Marijuana being laced is a standard misconception. Pot is the cheapest of the cheap. Why on earth would a dealer secretly lace it with more expensive stuff? Thats like saying mcdonalds hides diamonds in their happy meal toys

Hey I had this same problem it was like my 7th time and i went out and smoked with this girl and I took about 17 rips i think. Well I thought oh man i'm so high at first then I got back to my freinds like 3 minutes later and I got this really weird feeling, like the room was shaking. I knew right away, I need to check my heart (even though I could allready feel it) it was beeting so fast and i could feel it. I was so scared I tried laying down and to go asleep but i felt to weird to stay still, I thought oh man am I going to die??? I'm only 13 and I love life, and I'm so stupid to go out and smoke pot. I thought I'm so sorry got please forgive me, I will never touch it again. I was walking back and forth trying to get out of the crazy feeling, sometimes for about 5 seconds the feeling would stop but then i would go back into the feeling. Then I fell asleep finally thinking i would never wake up, but i woke up and i felt fine then about a month later I tried it again, I wanted to get high again! So about like 3 months later i went and smoked with my freind i took two really hard bong rips and about 3 minutes after I was all crazy, it was the same feeling as before. I tried laying down in the car but my freinds told me just hang in there and put on your seat belt. They went to go buy candy and they brang me a soby, i drank it rapidly hoping it would cure me some how. I wanted to tell them to call the doctore but I didn't, and then I got to my freinds house and went and layed down. I was feeling a little better than the first time but not much. I could like still function, but deffinentally not the same. Then the next morning he said lets go smoke, i took 2 light rips but not that light. The same feeling happened again, i headed for bed but he told me I can't sleep so I stayed up and had to deal with the feeling. I deffinentally wasn't as bad as the night before but It was still bad. Then the crazy feeling wore off but I still felt spacy and deffinentaly not the same. Then i went home and I havn't felt the same ever since. Know it's about a month since then and I feel better but usually on Sunday night i get the "Panick Attacks" I'm considering telling my parents now although i'm scared, my good freinds tell me i should tell them. I keep thinking I'm going to get better and i don't think I can rely on that. I need like medical assistance. Anyone have any suggestions?

Yes that happened to me to a few times. Almost went to the ER a few times. My heart rate was around 200 beats per minute I thought it was going to explode. Felt like I was going to die. This affected me honestly for the better part of 2 years on and off. I had to be put on Ativan for "panic attacks" even though i was not smoking it anymore. I would really recommend staying away from it for a long time. I can smoke it now but it's 10+ years later and even still I never do much and am still kind of worried when i do. But yes the effects may stay around a while.

You're just having a panic attack, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I used to feel like that when I first started smoking and after a while it passed.

Don't smoke too much, take a few small hits and enjoy.
