I am male, in my thirties and weigh about 170lbs.
I am an inexperienced marijuana user. I have smoked only 4-5 times. The last time I smoked, I was in Jamaica. I did get stoned and the experience was kinda OK. I did not like loss of control that I felt while being couch-locked but I wasn't that scared either.
The other day I tried a quarter of a hash-cookie. Here is my experience:
I had eaten 1/8th of the cookie the day before and nothing had happened that time. So, this day I ate 1/4th of a cookie.
After 2 hours: Nothing happened for about 2 hours. I was about to give up when suddenly I started feeling dizzy. It felt like my skull had become hollow like an empty tin container. Sounds coming from the TV would ring and resonate inside my head. I also started to get mild head-spinning feelings.
After 2:30 hours: I continued to feel dizzy and so I laid down. My heart stated beating really fast and my body became very warm. I continued watching TV and it felt like for every scene I watched on the TV , I could remember another scene similar to that scene from somewhere else.
After 3 hours: The feelings kept deteriorating. I had started feeling more helpless. My arms felt like they were made of water. And, from time to time my legs or arms would twitch. This was really scary. I should also mention I felt different based depending on what I actually thought. If I started thinking that the cookie was bad, I started panicking. I started thinking I was going to die and should call the hospital. Surprisingly, if I told myself that this was just a temporary effect, I felt better.
After 4 hours: In the end, I just lay in bed praying for the whole thing to be over soon. I also ate a big meal of eggs, toast and fried potatoes. This really helped. Then I somehow went to sleep and felt much refreshed after waking up after 8 hours.
The bottom line is I did not find the expereince very pleasant. It was downright scary. I dont think I would be eating the hash cookies again.
So, my question is - was my trip / experience normal?
People seem to enjoy this so much but I did not enjoy it at all.
I have taken opiods a few times and have experienced care-free happiness and euphoria from taking them. I can't seem to get the same feelings from using pot.
