I just overdosed on a brownie (effects)

I recently made a batch of super duper brownies using a recipe I made up myself. The butter was heavily infused with several large buds, probably too much. I baked them, and they turned out great. So to test this brownie, I had to make sure I knew what I was getting myself into, dose wise. From an 8x8 baking dish, I took about 1" square at 1/2" thickness. Nothing really substantial until about 30 minutes in, I suddenly became overly anxious, rapid heart beating, light flashes in my vision. I didn't know what was real anymore.

I rushed into my back yard wet with rain, and couldn't really think straight, in my (common sense) mind I knew it was just the pot, but something told me I was experiencing the stages of schizophrenia, or a brain tumour, or once the second wave hit, the government was beaming EM rays at me, so I would act out some bizzare psycho outburst, running around naked in the street, suicide was going through my mind, what if I was going to die. I felt like I was, terrible death scenarios, they would find me here, cut me open, saw my head off, autopsy me. I was going mad. Until it subsided slightly, I was sitting on the grass (lucky for me I am hidden by trees so no one could notice), an extreme calmness came over me, maybe it was passing. But to my dismay, the wave hit even stronger, hot blood was cursing into my heart, I could feel the top of my head screaming to burst into a light wave or something, possibly I was already dead and this was what it was like to be dead. I was crazed but so aware and lucid of my surroundings, almost as if I was dared by some unknown entity to have this experience. Could be, that the matrix really was true. I thought about calling 9/11, but in my mind, however fucked up I was in this psychosis, I knew it would subside eventually.

After about five minutes, what seemed like hours, then again seconds, as I had no concept of time, I began to look around, I walked around the house, out to the street, check the mail, noticing how everything was normal, just like in Close Encounters when the main character looks out his window after creating that model in his living room. Later, I found myself laying on my bed, hoping that it was over. I slept, but was still aware of my surroundings, hearing my cat downstairs meowing, the birds singing in the trees, the water faucet dripping. It was very surreal, yet a bit frightening at the same time.

I napped, awoke, napped, drank large amounts of water, cooled myself off, and kept pissing as much as I could. Still, the effects were still with me. No longer paranoid or suffering the effects of a massive overdose, my body was racked with a terrible want to just let go and sleep or die off. Instead of sleeping, I ate. I ate fruit, polished off the ice cream, drank more water, watched a film, for the life of me I couldn't recall, then went outside and sat feeling in the cool breezes, noticing the grass moving, the trees swishing. I was saved. I was normal again, no longer afraid, or paranoid of being taken away to the psyche ward or worse, a living death in some other realm.

To this moment, I still can't recall much other than what I came away with. The details of how I ended up moving boxes in my garage, or cleaning the tiles, or stacking pennies, remains a mystery. All I know, is I have never had a trip out (bad trip) like that before. I've heard the overdosing is rare or not commonplace, maybe a myth. But from my experience, I can tell you it is very real. I think I should rethink the dosage from now on. But I will say that now I know what an overdose on pot is like. And hope not to feel it again.

Call me stupid, call me crazy. But I am still for marijuana, legalization, being able to grow it and use it as I see fit. To that, I shall not waiver. All in all, I am sort of happy (well not happy, but fine) that I experienced this.

It was made with cannabutter, but too much was used I think. The pot was G13 Haze grown organically of course.
A friend of mine rolled a joint, took only two hits and was gooned pretty good too.

That sounds just like a panic attack man. I wouldn't say it was an overdose, just a dose to strong for you to mentally handle for whatever reason at that point in time. From time to time, I get panic attacks from smoking weed. It can be anywhere from taking 2 hits, to smoking two bowls. You are not crazy, you just worked yourself up and let the negative thoughts flood and takeover. Look up panic attacks, if you haven't already.

Additionally, I have had some "bad trips" related to marijuana usage. Once I figured out they were panic attacks and I wasn't going to die, I just chill out and do something I love until the panic passes. I've had "bad trips" where the panic attacks kept coming over and over much how you described your "waves". Those suck, but learn some techniques to control the negative thoughts and you will be ok.

If your for real. You need to take a couple of deep breaths. Then focus on one thing what ever you can get into at the time.
after a few min you should start to calm down. I get them also. It sucks. I have dog's they help.

And yes, I know that panic attacks can be induced by this sort of over high, but this was just far too intense than a panic attack, This was a full on deformation of my very being, at least that's how I could describe it. I've been gooned before, higher than a kite at times but nothing like this and I am and was well aware of the paranoia associated with it.

I've had similar experiences on acid, but nothing like that on weed. I didn't think weed could do that to you. I had my first panic attack last year, it was one of the scariest experiences of my life. I thought it was a heart attack: My heart was racing, I couldn't catch my breath, I felt light-headed and thought I was going to pass out. I immediately chewed up three aspirin, and ran around to lock up the grow room and hide all my weed (I was burping jars at the time), before calling 911. My cell was fucking up and the call wasn't going through, so I ran down to my neighbors place, but no one was home. 911 called me back about 90 seconds later, and I explained to them what was going on. They asked, 'do you feel any pain or any pressure', I told them I did not. They asked me if I ever had a panic attack to which I replied I had not. They told me that they would send an ambulance if I wanted but it didn't sound like a heart attack to them. While talking it through, I did start to feel more normal and I could feel my breath coming back. I hadn't smoked any more than I usually do, but I was going through more stress than usual that week. I had no distorted sense of reality, myself or my surroundings. Your thing sounds like a bad trip to me, not a panic attack...

Sounds exactly like what I'm looking for in 'spirituality'. It takes some heart to be doing that shit and not knowing what the fuck is happening to your soul and mind.

I'm glad to see that like minded people are seeing the positive side of consuming herb then just the stereotype dope fiend.

Here's my story.

I took about an oz of shake form those nug clipping bowl machines, which means lotta kief and goodness. Boiled that shit into water with a 1/2 stick of butter for 45 mins. The recipe called for 1/3 stick of butter so I figured what the hell, they'll just be sticky brownies. They were Giardelli carmel turtle too btw. I ate my usual size of 2x2 and laid on the couch. 1/2 hr goes by, nothing. 1 hr, I'm feeling deccent but wondering why the fuck isnt it kicking in. 2-3 hrs were the best, nice heady buzz, munchies like a mofo. 4 hrs it starts going downhill, I get antsy and slightly nausious. By 5 hrs I feel like I'm gonna die, my chest feels wierd, I have a bad headache and my eyes feel wierd. I didn't feel like myself and just wanted to go to bed but couldn't. By 6 hrs I had to go to bed since I was freaking out. I could barely walk and my vision was rather fucked up I've tried salvia and that fucked me up and i felt like shit, but I'd choose salvia over getting this high anyday if that tells you anything.

I gave my friends some but in smaller batches. One person took a bite the size of their thumb and said they were pretty fucked up!(they didnt smoke often). Even a 1x1 piece was enough to make my heavier smoking friends pass out after a few hrs.

Lesson learned, trust my instict and dont over do the weed to butter ratio! I always doubt myself when it comes to potency of my butter and I go too strong!
