Yesterday I smoked the third time. It was at power to the peaceful in S.F.
I took a few hits from a joint. Some of the hits were really big for a noob like me so coughed a little but it was all good. Then i started to feel sort of dizzy and i felt like i had to sit down. When i sat down i had feelings of kind of an altered sense of reality like am i really here?, what am i doing?, did i smoke too much?, was it laced? but after about a minute or two i calmed myself down and had a perfectly decent high. Has this happened to anyone before? Im pretty sure it was just cuz im a noob and the hits were really big

Sounds like an anxiety attack brought on by either:

a) You being new to marijuana
b) quality weed
c) being in a new environment
d) being around lots of people you don't know
e) all of the above

Yeah im guessing it was one or a combination of those. Fortunately i was very chill about it and was able to calm myself down quickly. Thanks for the help

It used to happen to me too. I looked further into it and it's smarter to put less or no bud when you're beginning just to get used to the feeling and no lightheaded.

I kind of know what you're talking about, when I started I kind of got overwhelmed once or twice. Not thinking "Is it laced?", but more of a "Did I smoke too much?". But just for a sec because my two friends smoked jut as much. Ahaha.

Man, that sounds like nothing versus my first time getting high. (My 3rd time smoking)
I was on some good shit, I'd probably never/seldom taste anything that good again. I was tripping balls, I was thinking: "Man, I have to go through that portal (an opening in a clearence in the forest I was in, it looked like a portal to another dimension, blocked off by a cliff (a slight slope downwards)) there, but I am scared. Everything looked huge" (Or better put, I just realized the beauty and the power around me for the first time.) and from that day on I appreciate nature more than anything, and there is no more beautiful place in the world than nature to smoke.
Man, while you still have the chance, do not smoke again until you get some REALLY good stuff and then go to the most beautiful forest/mountain range/some place in nature you can get to, and smoke as much as you can without falling asleep (thus smoke strain with more of a sativa influence) and just gaze at the beauty and let it sink in, let it effect you. Trust me, it might feel scary at first, but there is no better experience. But please, do it now while you are still REALLY new to pot, otherwise for the same enlightening effect you probably have to do off-topic mushrooms or off-topic cacti or of-topic sage. (Just please don't do anything like that if you feel you are not mature enough to handle it, non of the above (with the exception of the off-topic mushrooms, they can be fun at a trance party) are party drugs, they are purely for entheogenic and/or psychonaughtic purposes, any use for the sake of entertainment is abuse in my book, and NEVER do anything that isn't natural either.)

Yep you're suspicion seam's to be correct, you are new to weed and don't smoke often so you probably never been that high before and it took a minute to adjust, but I am glad to see you moved on from the apple pipe

This only happens to me if I don't get something to eat, smoking makes me light headed if I don't have the proper nutrition.

Don't be too paranoid about it being laced, hopefully the person who had the J would have had the courtesy to telling you it was laced while passing it (Don't want to kill somebody).

Keep up the smokage, I'm sure you got blazed once you got up.
