Question Posted Saturday January 13 2007, 11:00 am
Last night I smoked weed for my second or third time and I got REALLY sick after I smoked. (Like right after I took the hit) I almost threw up..is this normal?! Also, my throat was killingg me..but it didnt hurt like that the first time I smoked! It was so weird. And today I feel really tired and a little nauseous and I have a terrible cough..is this normal? Is there anything I can do to feel better? How long do these feelings last?

MummuM answered Saturday January 13 2007, 9:44 pm: It depends on how big the hit was that you took and how you took it; bong, lung, pipe, etc. If it was bigger than the ones you normally take, of course it's going to make you want to throw up after you're done taking it. If your lungs aren't used to it, they're going to act up and make you want to puke. The reason why your throat might be hurting is because you smoked so much of it and your lungs aren't used to it. If you smoke more than you usually do, you'll throat will be a little sore when you wake up in the morning. Either because you smoked too much or you just aren't used to it. Also, make sure you trust the person you're smoking dope with. Anyone could lace your weed. If it wasn't the same feeling you had as the first or second time you got high, (depending on how much you smoked,) it could have been laced with something else.

There is like so much bad stuff, that could kill you, like poisons and stuff... Maybe you just got lucky the first 2 times you did it, and this time you got the real deal. I donno?
OR, you're canceling out the possiblity that it could be just a coincidence. Like you could have been around someone sick a few days ago, and got it now. ? [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

But there's a chance your weed was laced with something else [weed killers, snake venom]. I wouldn't buy it from the same person, or I just wouldn't smoke anymore. Coughing is normal, and so is a regurgitation, but regurgitations usually happen a while after you're done smoking..not right after a hit. Usually a little sore throat & a cough is normal. And so is feeling nauseous. Being tired's normal too. I always get tired like 2 hrs after being high. So, don't worry about it. But if you're really that concerned, either buy your weed from someone else, or just stop all together.
thelaura answered Saturday January 13 2007, 1:07 pm: You probably got hold of dodgy weed which basically wasn't pure and mixed with other things (poisons - even snake venom) which should never be inhaled into your body!
Also, were you drinking at the time? That can make some people feel nauseous.
Were you the only one who was affected this way? If so, maybe you just reacted badly - yes - even after your 1st time. and having a sore throat and lungs afterwards can be normal too.
If you didn't like the way it affected you this time, you should simply stop.
It's hard to say how long the symptoms will last. Seeing as it affected you quite badly, it will probably take a few days. If you feel any worse, you should see a doctor. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

You pretty much have two choices:
A)You can try buying from someone else.There's a chance that your weed could've been laced with something.Just to be safe,I wouldn't continue getting it from wherever you did.
B)You can just stop smoking all together.Maybe you have some type of bad reaction to it.
karenR answered Saturday January 13 2007, 12:53 pm: Weed can be laced with almost anything. Maybe it was sprayed with weed killer. You really take the chance of getting really sick or even dying anytime you deal with an illegal substance. Yes even weed.
If you are that sick I recommend going to the emergency room and telling what happened.
If you want to feel better, stay away from it next time. If it was laced with something you will probably feel bad until it is out of your system.
No way of telling you how long because that would depend on what it was. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
