smoking

okay well one time when i was smoking weed i reacted to it wicked funny. Like everything around me started to go in slow motionn. i couldnt walk rightt and when people would speakk i couldnt understand them, and it was almost like things where like strechingg. i didnt like it AT all and it would last like 2/3 days. I thought that maybe the weed was laced but i did like 4 times and everytime it happend. it was different weed from different people too. Is this normal? is it bad? will my reaction to that go away if i keep smoking?

You are playing with fire..when you have that kind of strong reaction you are effecting deep structures in your brain in ways that might cause damage.  These are big warning signs.

Weed is extremely strong these days.  Sounds like too strong for you.  Why keep doing what doesn't feel good anymore?  I mean, in my day, and we're going way back now, what you're describing would be called a really good high.  But if it upsets you, stop.  you've learned whatever it had to teach you, no need to keep using it, right?

Some people react to it as you have.  It's part of the reason some people use it in the first place.
Is it bad?  I personally believe it is.  It is thought to precipitate or trigger several severe mental illnesses (schizophrenia, for example).
I think it is unlikely to go away if you continue to keep smoking it.  (Will a fat person lose weight if they continue to overeat?)

Based on your post, I am virtually positive that you are young and inexperienced.....Despite what you may think now, weed is a complete waste of time...sure most people get away with no lasting effects....but you should enjoy your mind, not drown it with intoxicants.   Look up depersonalization disorder, many people get that from smoking weed.

Perhaps you are more vulnerable while your 'friends' appear to have more protective factors.
That is a very wise decision to abstain from further use.

You could always try participating in adventure sports, etc and experience a natural high that way.
