why won't it stop....

Ok I'm going to be honest I am a college boy who got mixed up in some drugs recently and smoked marijuana for the first time (and will never do it again...) ... I experienced a high but it was not what I expected at all... It has been two days (48 hours exactly) and my symptoms from the time I smoked are as follows... I have numbness (but not complete loss of control) of my entire body... I can do normal tasks but my body is encompassed in numbness... the skin on my fingers is dieing (but that could be from playing guitar and the calices could be washing off) but I am also experienceing mental emptiness as though I am not myself or completely there... like I am zoned out all the time now... (I also have ADD but I am pretty sure that it has passed for the most part... I have taken Ritalin and Stratera and at one point Aderol (sp)) Could it be that the marijuana was laced with PCP or am I experiencing some unusual symptoms to something else? I have no idea...what to do now. Any help? I have been drinking plenty of water and eating normally so that isn't it... I also play video games quiet frequently and have been VERY stressed lately due to a chemistry test I studied for for sometime and am having loads of problems at home and school and everywhere ... I don't know if those have to do with it but those are also things that are occurring in my life right now... Oh and a little more on me... I am 140 6'0 and am not a substance abuser I have only done this once... and I took on alot supposedly and Idon't know what that means ... I also am a bit paler than normal too but that may be me overreacting... I want the high to end or what ever it is any help ? Anything will help me out...

im happy your better, stay away from drugs in the future, thanks for letting us know your ok. in 6 months if your still getting symptoms and they bother you, you may want to talk to a doctor, but my guess is your young enough to heal and live well without becoming dependant on any medications.

Ok I waited it out... and it lasted around 6 days... the 7th day I woke up with an extreme migraine and chills ... but after that I felt fine... It's now a few weeks later and I still experience these symptoms every here and there so now I'm not sure if maybe the marijuana triggered some kind of chemical change in my system? Maybe some kind of change in my system? Idk but the symptoms for the most part have gone away.

If there was something in it after 72 hours things should all go away.....
It also was something very new to your body I would let it get out of my system and leave it alone.......
If things don't get better after a few days you might want to go in to the doctor....

I doubt very seriously that the pot was laced...  It was just a first time trip!

My first time smoking pot, 40years ago, omg, was also very different from anytime after that but it did not last and not what you are experiencing... I smoked pot for 20 years after that and never heard of such a thing. (haven't smoked in 21 years now)

I agree, SEE A DOC, don't take any chances, sounds like the pot had something on it???

There are a ton op people who have a bad experience with marijuana the very first time.  My wife for example got totally paranoid... I mean bad.  The next time she did it everything was fine.  For some reason the first use is usually the most intense and usually these feeling don't repeat themselves if used again.  Neither my wife or I smoke any longer and haven't for years but a lot of people can share the same experience you had after smoking pot for the first time.  

If it is from the pot your symptoms will subside naturally very soon.  Hopefully you won't try it a second time.

I would go see a doc, does your college have a clinic or something. You could have ingested toxins of some kind depending on what the pot was grown with.  I would also drink lots of water to flush your system and just go get checked out to make sure you aren't having some kind of reaction to a toxin.
