Getting high

hey man i haven't seen you around in a while
how you doing?
I've been smoking weed for over a year now, I smoke daily since a few weeks ago, just one joint at night before bed. So last night I smoked one and I got super high, it was my first time being this high, I went to bed and I couldn't move my body, I had to try really hard just to move an arm.. So this freaked me out, I didn't want to sleep because of fear of staying like this forever.
I managed to get up and went to the bathroom where my GF was, said I wasn't feeling right, she helped me but I started to get completely insane, my heart started to beat so fast, I was convinced I was going to die in a few more minutes. I never felt anything like this before so I thought I was having a heart attack, told my GF to call an ambulance. I spent the night at ER, they sedated me and I slept for a few hours, today I didn't feel "right" just up to a few hours ago.
So what the fuck happened? How come this time I got super high and had a panic attack?
Did I mention Ilaughed my ass off then cried that same night too? I don't know wtf happened to me.
I want to keep smoking but I'm afraid of going over this again. I'll never forget how I felt, still think I was close to being dead.

Can you expand upon what you mean by you didn't feel right up to a few hours ago?
Also did they say anything when you went the ER? Did you explain that you smoked a joint?
Yeah, I woke up today and I was still feeling a little high, but the "I'm so relaxed" kinda high, the high I get every night, plus I was still feeling dull because of the sedative. That lasted for a couple more hours after waking up.
I told them I smoked that night, and that I smoke daily.
I told them I smoked that night, and that I smoke daily.
So you told them you smoked and were feeling freaked out/like you were dying and they were just like: fuck it let's put him under for a little?
Yeah dude I would just say this was your first time getting really high. Maybe you packed the joint more than normal or were smoking higher quality stuff? The first time I ever smoked I took a full gravity bong hit of Blue Dream by myself, and for those of you that have smoked out of a gravity bong before, you know exactly how fucking high those things can get you off of basically no weed. Hacked my lungs up for nearly 15 minutes and the high immediately kicked in, except I had no prior experience with being high so my head/body was completely shell-shocked. I went to lay down and my legs were vibrating so hard I could barely move/get up if I wanted to. I was freaking out because everything was so weird for me and I could feel my heartbeat ratchet up to insane levels, almost similar to an anxiety attack.
Eventually it dawned upon me to put some music on, and that was the day that I discovered how fucking awesome music is while high, and I got so lost in my headphones that I completely calmed down and just rode the high.
Anyway the symptoms you were describing sound pretty much exactly like what I experienced that day, so I think you'll be alright. I'm pretty sure you just freak out a bit, and to my understanding this still happens from time to time with even the most experienced of weed smokers. I'm pretty sure if there actually was something wrong with you the hospital would've investigated it further as well. I would say just try smoking again but this time if you start feeling a little panicky, just lay down, tell yourself to ride it out, throw on some dope tunes, and just lose yourself in the music.
Cheers.

You put yourself in a heightened state and were likely feeling things that are normally no big deal (such as automated body functions). Especially if pot makes you anxious or paranoid at all it can be easy to get freaked out about stuff like that.
I still remember for a while when I would get really high I was able to feel what I can only describe as the sensation of my cardiovascular system just going about it's business. Like I could feel the blood pumping throughout my body, nothing to do with my heart though. Was fairly unnerving at first but I knew it was just a side effect of smoking and it stopped happening not too long after and hasn't happened since. As far as I could tell there wasn't anything different actually going on, just that it felt like I could feel the blood pumping around throughout my limbs.
It's like when I smoke and listen to music I feel as though I can actually hear everything individually and it allows me to notice things I may not have before whereas when I'm sober it feels as though I'm hearing the song and all it's components as a whole.
I dunno it's hard to explain and I'm likely completely off base (it's not as though I have any real idea what's going on in situations like yours) so feel free to ignore me lol.

Got super stoned last night and watched Menace 2 Society for the first time. Don't know why the fuck it took me so long to watch it, but I loved it nonetheless. First movie to make me shed a tear in a long while.

Thanks for the responses guys. I'll give myself a few days to "reset" and then try again. I'll be prepared if I get super high again: gonna have my headphones ready, something to eat and I'll convince myself I won't die because of weed
I pretty much get as stoned as your describe each night I smoke, lol. I love that sensation of being weighed down/relaxed to the point where I can't even muster up the motivation to move a finger XD. If you don't want to get that stoned then don't smoke as much, but if it does happen again, embrace it and don't panic. Put some music on or watch a movie and just lose yourself in it.
And yes, definitely eat something beforehand. The only time I've ever had a bad trip was when I got stoned early in the day without eating anything first.

When you've been smoking regularly for ~a year or so, you don't wind up getting surprised by your high anymore. Even when you got very high, you sort of recognize it and can get yourself to calm down if you start to feel overwhelmed.

Tried some Fudd in my Pax 2 yesterday, and really enjoyed it. Great daytime high, and wonderful stress/pain reliever.
I wish I could get this high

James Jean has such a wonderfully distinct style
I scooped a copy out of a 3k run of his latest art book, XENOGRAPH and I am really excited to receive it when it ships in September!
The School Teacher was the first piece I saw from him and it was immediately burned into my brain forever, sooooo fantastic

Definitely do it, most people will tell you that even a two week break will dramatically lower your tolerance. If you can hold out for a month, even better.
it's rough thinking about taking even a week break (that probably isn't good mentally speaking) but I have to do something. Even a break from M-F and getting a little bag for the weekend would work right now as a first step forward.
on another note I went to a party with my girl the other night and had a bunch of 18-20 y/o smokers who complimented my rolling ability haha.
"did you use a roller on this?"
"no he rolled it"
"holy shit it's perfect"
I should've stood up and took a bow.

The thing is (with me at least) is that, yea, I will get ripped after a tolerance break.
But the build up is super fast unlike the first tolerance build up. So after a week of getting wicked blazed the tolerance is back to how it was before the break.

Looking for some great movies to watch stoned. Nothing too 'typical stoner flick', though. You guys have any suggestions?

Baraka and Samsara are great visual films

I've seen those already. Loved them.
I've heard Pan's Labyrinth is good, but I can't watch anything with subs when I'm stoned, lol.

I've heard good things about The Fall, the one with Lee Pace, too.

I did it multiple times and it helped when everyone was joking around not paying attention, but that's just my experience.
I knew a guy who went to high school high on acid. A couple tabs was all he needed and he was just GONE

The Void, Fear and Loathing and Speed Racer to name a few. These might not work as movies to watch high for you but for me they were quite enjoyable/interesting in that state.

I've seen the first two (I presume you're talking about 'Enter the Void'?), but haven't watched Speed Racer. Looks like it would be cool to watch high, though. All them pretty colours and shit.

I had a lot of fun watching it sober too for what that's worth
I'm in Washington this week, man I'm going to miss this . Least I'm going back to a state where it's legal, but these dispensaries down here make me jealous since there's no where to buy it in Alaska yet. Just so much variet, extracts, edibles, actually knowing what strain you're getting etc.

You had a panic attack onset by you not being comfortable with being that high.
Next time make sure to breath through your nose and exhale through your mouth over and over and just repeat in your head that you understand your body is just panicking to something its not used to.
Of course this doesn't mean this will happen every time you get high but you may be a bit shakey until you come to terms with it.
I feel ya.. I'm trying to take a break atm but holy fuck the agitation and sweats are annoying. I try to work it out but it just hits me back an hour later.
Caved yesterday and smoked up and will probably do so tonight after a tough day..

Enjoy our evergreen state. I recently started using and it is so nice to know what you're getting, shopping at a nice store, etc. It makes the whole thing so pleasant.

When my boy said he'd get me fucked up I didn't think he meant this fucked up. After popping a Molly and smoking a vaporizer he had me in hale nitrous oxide.
Reached a level I never thought possible.

You think Washington is nice... man Colorado is a whole new level.
Sucks that we are doing so fucking poorly with this stuff, but I guess give it time. I can't wait to visit Seattle in August, going to be so great.
QUESTION
I'm going on a three day trip to a family cabin with four of my cousins. Last year we did shooms and wandered the amazing scenery of Hemsedal in Norway.
This year, we figured we should do so LSD and repeat the success of last year. The problem is, the weather is supposedly shit for the duration of our stay. I'm talking rain, 12-15 C.
Getting all five of us in the same place for three days is a huge deal, so cancelling and finding new dates is going to be a pain the ass.
My question is this: Should we just go to the cabin and trip while indoors if the weather sucks? The cabin is super cozy and has a great fireplace. I have some molly for the evening to keep us going after the acid wears off, fyi.
My first thought is that acid is best left for a sunny day going into the woods or something, but at this point it's indoor tripping or nothing.
