I all i am new to the forums. I am a complete noob to mary jane and have only smoked maybe 6 times. I am gonna ask a few questions rather than make multiple forums.
1. I hadn't smokeked weed in about three weeks and I smoked 2/3s of a joint of decent weed. rather than getting a nice relaxing high, my heart felt like it was going 150bpm. It felt like i had just run a marathon. I was afraid I was going to have a heart attack. and I was all tense and shaking. is this normal? (btw I have a low tolerance to i was really baked .

2. Most of the time, after I smoke weed, my stomach gets all gurgaly and I burp constantly and I think I am going to puke. This is bad because i am emetophobic (fear of vomiting). Why do i get all gassy in my tummy? and How can i avoid this and will smoking a lot make me throw up?

3. When I get high I never get the munchies or the giggles. How much do i need to smoke to get these feelings, but not hillucinate or anything?

the weed u had was probably laced with something....when u vomit it is ok, that is normal, sometimes. i had the shakes one time, when i was chillin on a recliner, like my legs were shakin n **** same with my arms, its a phase u will get through it.....the heart attack thing is normal too, sometimes you have access energy to burn off, it was funny bc yester day we smoked and my other friend mike was running around this forest...so i think what symtoms you have are normal....if u continue these problems i would get weed from someone else or just completely quit....

Higher Logic

99.9% sure it wasn't laced. Sounds like the typical response from an inexperienced user in this case. He fits the case perfectly:

1. Novice, inexperienced user
2. Racing heart beat (irrational fear of heart attack)
3. Tense, shaking

Check out this thread on everyone else who has freaked out while smoking:

Yeah, it's long, it happens a lot apparently.

1. You need to get your body more experience with weed

Look man your putting too much thought along with your high man, and since you havnt smoked that much your pretty much freaking yourself out... I can relate cuz I use to do the same thing, sometimes when I would smoke I would uncontrollably start to shiver in warm weather, heart beating fast, what ever, get it through to yourself that its your mind ****ing with you when your high.. Look when you get high you mind will **** around with you.... Get high and start thinking about how your leg hurts\ how fast your heart is beating\ paranoia\ everything and it will make things 20 times worse than they are... Look my best advice is to smoke alone and just chill out. You probably wont throw up since you really dont smoke much to begin with, your heart is okay and its okay for it to beat a little faster than usual when your high. As for the munchies that is a side effect that many people dont get.. I dont ever get the munchies after I smoke... It's actually like a reverse effect on me in that aspect because I can be hungry before I smoke and not hungry after... It depends on the person.

thanks. That clears a lot up for me

Marijuana makes your heart beat a little faster. When noobees notice this they tend to get freaked out, their imaginations go wild, and they think they're having a heart attack.

My guess would be that the reason for your stomach problem is that you're emetophobic. It works the same way as the heart thing: a small stimulus triggers a burst of scared imagination.

Some people just don't get giggles or munchies. Some kinds of weed don't trigger them. Marijuana can distort your perceptions but you don't hallucinate. Well... It takes more than most people can smoke to hallucinate.

Be careful how much you smoke. You seem inclined towards anxiety when you get high, which is not at all unusual for beginners. If you get yourself into a full-blown panic attack it's likely to become a recurring problem. While you're new to it, it's best to take a couple of tokes, wait ten minutes, and see if you're as high as you want to be before you take a couple more. Repeat as needed.

i had a real real bad panic attack one time. i was new and not aware that mj will increase heart rate. anyway, my heart was beating what felt to me like 200 plus beats a minute.

i have pretty much gotten over it. however, 2/3 of the time i toke, after i take my tokes, as soon as i start to feel the buz, my heart gets racey too. 150 bpm like yours. i am a powerbuilder and i do cardio all the time, and always measure my heart rate while working. and trust me, 150 bpm is absolutely nothing to be alarmed about. 150 bpm is = to the absolute minimum amount of work you need to do to breath just heavy enough where you will struggle ever so slightly carrying on a conversation, very slight heavier breathing . providing you are healthy and in shape.

i find that i can actually control it when it happens. just sit back, and take deep breaths. i can make it go away in a matter of minutes. and once its gone, its gone that session. also, being able to be calm about it now i tried somthing. while my heart got racey last time, i put my hand on my heart and realized somthing. ya it was beating what felt like 150 bpm, but before i felt my heart i thought it was beating way faster. in other words, the mj makes you think its beating faster than it actually is, i found this out when i put my hand on my chest.

well i hope this helps

seriously how do u get a panic attack? maybe if you stopped worrying about that type of high you are experiencing and just smoke to get high then you wont flip a **** everytime. you should probably just chill out and smoke for the high rather than worry about every little way it affects your body

Paranoia is just a negative aspect that some people succumb too, mostly inexeperienced users, it's not like he can help it, he'll eventually learn to control and love it
