Last friday evening when I had a long day with my girlfriend, we smoked 2 bowls right before we went to the bar and I havent drank any alcohol but just some foods. Then we headed back for home and smoked the last 2 bowls. When we sat down by the dining table in the kitchen and my girlfriend was going to put the third bowl. For some reason that everything turned into very bright aura and my body felt like being disconnected from me. I was fighting to get rid of the bright aura. I finally told my girlfriend whats going on. Somehow next thing I knew that my girlfriend was trying to get me wake up from fainting. I couldnt remember anything in between telling my girlfriend whats wrong with me and then saw her stood in the front of me and tried to wake me up. After I fainted and I felt perfect normal again, the eposide just sudden happened within 5 minutes and then felt better and the high from weed became extremely stronger after the faint spell. Anyone could explain that? I drank the enough water and ate the well balanced meals through the day. Could the high cause the faint spell?

It is possible.

You might want to take advantage of the thousands of prior posts by doing a 'search'. i.e. faint, fainting.

Go easy and welcome to the boards...

Hello,
By any chance does diabetes run in your family? Do you know your blood sugar level? Just a thought because my dad has diabetes and my best friend does too. I've actually seen allot of times the cause of blood sugar to cause dizzy and fainting spells. I am by no means qualified in any type of medical advice, etc. Just know there is a connection in that regard. Have a great one.

It sounds like a low blood sugar situation to me, too. You don't have to have diabetes to have low blood sugar (which happens after too much insulin), it can happen to anyone. It's called "hypoglycemia" and can be cured simply by eating.

I'll 'third' the likely culprit being low blood sugar.

"Brief or mild hypoglycemia produces no lasting effects on the brain, though it can temporarily alter brain responses to additional hypoglycemia. Prolonged, severe hypoglycemia can produce lasting damage of a wide range. This can include impairment of cognitive function, motor control, or even consciousness. The likelihood of permanent brain damage from any given instance of severe hypoglycemia is difficult to estimate, and depends on a multitude of factors such as age, recent blood and brain glucose experience, concurrent problems such as hypoxia, and availability of alternative fuels. The vast majority of symptomatic hypoglycemic episodes result in no detectable permanent harm." - - - "The blood glucose can be raised to normal within minutes by taking (or receiving) 10-20 grams of carbohydrate. It can be taken as food or drink if the person is conscious and able to swallow. This amount of carbohydrate is contained in about 3-4 ounces (100-120 ml) of orange, apple, or grape juice, about 4-5 ounces (120-150 ml) of regular (non-diet) soda, about one slice of bread, about 4 crackers, or about 1 serving of most starchy foods. Starch is quickly digested to glucose (unless the person is taking acarbose), but adding fat or protein retards digestion. Symptoms should begin to improve within 5 minutes, though full recovery may take 10-20 minutes. Overfeeding does not speed recovery and if the person has diabetes will simply produce hyperglycemia afterwards." ***

I was doing some googling because almost exactly that just happened to me. I wouldn't have described it as bright and shiny.. but that's quite possibly a personal thing. But everything else was almost exactly the same, except that I was standing when it happened and I came down kind of hard.

Anyway I feel the absolute necessity to post here, because I definitely disagree with jumping to a hypoglycemia diagnosis.

This just happened to me, and I am actually a diabetic and have been for 20 years (i'm 22..). I have experienced hypoglycemia hundreds of times and I can tell you for certain that my bloodsugar was completely normal, maybe a little bit high when this happened.

Hypoglycemia manifests itself differently and for me it doesn't feel at all the way you describe, but certain people don't notice it.. it's true that that's what may have been what made you pass out, but it certainly wasn't what happened for me. Unless you ate barely anything that day and exercised heavily, I'm pretty sure that's not hypoglycemia.

Really curious to find out what it actually is, though

I don't know what you experienced, but it wasn't hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is defined as "an abnormally low level of glucose in the blood". Its etymology is from a latinized form of Greek elements hypo- "under" + glykys "sweet" + haima "blood".

It was textbook hypoglycemia.

Hi,

Many years ago, I had a similar experience. As I was taking a hit, I began to "tunnel" through glowing golden colors and to experience auditory hallucinations of God or angels speaking. Well, let's just say I have also got an active imagination and I read a good deal of comparative myth and philosophy. I'm also good on the occasional sci-fi morality play.

At any rate, I woke to the sound of people calling my name, holding me. I was very irritated at the time, because by my reality, someone had just shaking me out of meeting God. (I had been aware of someone calling my name but at the time, mistook it for a more divine being.)

Now here are the details. I ate very poorly at the time and was also taking muscle relaxants at the time for a recent car accident. I've never had the experience repeat itself. That was nearly 15 years ago. I'm much better today with being aware of my body and the meds that go in.

What I experienced was a classic brain starve with overtones of a little THC and too much Joseph Campbell. I also tossed all of the painkillers and muscle relaxants that the docs had me on. Those meds can do evil things to your body.

Good luck and don't forget to eat before you smoke...

FIRST OFF>< My NAME SHOULD BE SoCalKush. But I registered on 4/20. So I messed up. But Whats up yall!

About the fainting/passing out.
Happens to me sometimes when I take a huge bong load of "O.G.Kush" or the like and hold it deep. I think what I experience is a lack of oxygen to the brain though. Not from smoking but from holding my breath. I get a tingle in my mouth and, when its bad, start to taste metal. Everything goes fuzzy and I lose vision for like 5-15 sec. My eyes just start to shut off and everything goes dark. I actually made the mistake of doing this while I was driving when I was young. I totaled my 95 BMW m3! It was 5 am, I was On my way to work, and I had not ate a thing. Lets just say that I walked away...

Now as I reread this, and the other posts, I realize I might actually have a problem? Or am I just immune to the "cough"?

I couldnt find a pic of my Black 95 so here is my current 97.
I post a pic of the car...in the ditch...when I get home.

yep...I killed her.

I hope all is well for you though man...make up a routine to smoke and see if that will affect your passing out.

Ah I guess i was unclear there. to clarify...
As a diabetic I have experience hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) hundreds of times.
When I passed out from smoking marijuana, my blood sugar was not low.. therefore it was not a result of hypoglycemia
