Fainting?

Hey guys

Well I feel kinda skeptical posting this, but I'll do it anyway. Today I smoked with a few friends just like I always do, but after I felt super super high. I was high for a while then things begin to blur. My friend said I started acting really weird, almost sad. They then said my pupils got really big and I started to not make sense when I was speaking. Apparently after this my head tilted back like I passed out and I started seizing up. One of my friend ran and got a glass of water and a wet wash cloth while my other friends kept me in my seat. (This is what I start remembering) I woke up and right away threw up all over myself (lol I know right?) and they were all freaking out asking me if I was ok and if they needed to call the ambulance. I was completely out of it and couldn't see or anything but told them I was ok and they didn't need to call an ambulance. After laying down for awhile and drinking some water and eating some food I felt better. But this got me thinking... what was it that could have caused this? I drive high a lot of the time and if marijuana was what induced my unconciousness I am seriously skeptical about driving while high... Anyone have a similar experience like this or some advice? I'm going to schedule a doctor's appointment and tell him what happened, maybe get checked for diabetes or something (it runs in my family). I also had a pretty empty stomach at the time, which made me think of diabetes and possibly my low blood sugar? This experience just got me really scared, someone input would be nice .

Thanks for reading guys and gals,
Brandon

Well, I have experienced blacking out from smoking.. I believe it is due to oxygen deprevation. The worst that ever happened to me was, I was smoking alone in the house.. While hitting my bong I began shaking my head side to side, not as if im looking to my left or right but wobbling my head to the leaf then right.. that lasted about 6-8 seconds, & while it was going on I was aware I was doing it but could not stop... I was still holding the bong in hand while shaking & whacked myself in the nose giving me a bloody nose.. Was worried @ first but then I thought it couldnt be that bad dying from a siezure or fainting.. . After it happened I was not aware it was the bong that gave me the bloody nose.. I was thinking it just happened w/ the spaze attk my body had.. but after realizing while my head was shaking side to side I was still holding both arms up @ shoulder height, in the process of wtfishappeningtome I realized I whacked my face w/ the bong.

Not really fun, but it has never happend outside of my home. I try to watch how much I smoke when out & about for this reason.

It's crazy how you can be concious & still your body will do what it wants, having a seizure/blackout/faint while semi aware of it is not fun.

Pain is over-rated, when the body is in distress or dying it will do what it needs to shut off those parts of you that gave a fuck that day.

I fainted once when I didn't eat anything at all that day and I was smoking pot all day. I think it's low blood sugar personally.

my input: good idea scheduling a check up.

how old are you? anything similar run in the family besides diabetes that you know of?

I'm 19. I'm scheduling a check up today. I'm nervous because I know heart disease, diabetes and leukemia all run in my family. Thanks for the input guys, my friends were so scared they practically shit themselves lol

Were you smoking that spice shit?

I've never heard of marijuana causing a seizure like that.

It's used to treat epilepsy actually. Wtf?

It was what I grew outdoor this year :/. And it didn't happen until like 25 mins after smoking

This has happened to a few of my friends. The common thing was they hadn't ate anything the whole day.

I don't think it had anything to do with the weed, if you've never had a seizure, and you're going to the Doctor's so I wouldn't stress.

NEVER over do it on an empty stomach, a couple joints for an appetite is okay. IMO there's one similarity between drinking alot and smoking alot, always build a foundation.

I've gotten really light headed from smoking pot, never passed out though. My wife on the other hand passed out on two separate occasions while smoking. They happened 6 years apart from each other and both days were warm and we were standing in the sun. The first time it happened, I took her to the ER and they said it was either lack of oxygen or dehydration, or possibly both. But I have most definitely gotten light headed before either from getting high and immediately smoking a cigarette, or getting high and talking too much. Lack of oxygen to the brain is a bitch.

Smoking in the direct sun is 'dangerous', it'll fuck you rite up and I'm speaking from experience. In my younger days I was sitting on a pasture in the sun smoking, I got so high I had to go straight home and lie down, I kid you not but I started hearing voices and shit and from that never again. I dunno but something about that sun baking your head fries it.

I love smoking in the sun on the beach are you crazy?

I bring a cooler of beer and some water down there too.

Sometimes I pick up a little stick in case I have to fight off wild dogs.
