why does marijuanna affect me differently than other people?

Question

only people who know what they are talking about please.
i have recently picked up the hobby of pot smoking. i was raised around older brothers who partake in this same pasttime quite often. I've only smoked about 12 times since i have started, most ofthen it just makes me chill and happy but three out of those 12 i have been really ****** up. and it scares me. it might be that im just not used to being "high". but whatever it is i do not like it. last night was one of those three times. i say things aloud, and dont feel like im talking. i scratch my face, like an itch or something, and do realize i did it, till my had is back down, time goes really slowly. i cant concentrate, and all of this hits me at once, its pretty overwhelming. and to be honest i'm still pretty ****** up...from last night. i dont think any of the high has worn off at all. and i dont want to admit this to my brothers or friends because they will think im retarded or faking it. but i assure you. i am not.

Answer 1

I am a former pot smoker-
First of all, smoking does different things to different people. I knew a girl that got headaches every time. Some people get paranoid, some itchy, some funny, some lazy, some get hyper.
Most of what you said is just the effects of getting high. the lack of concentration, things going slowly, sometimes spinning or even nausea, Pot messes up your senses. Also, Different types of pot also does different things. And you have to be careful, because people do like to lace their bud with different things like coke or other nasty stuff you don't want, so if you choose to keep smoking, make sure you are there when they are rolling it or loading it.
But if you are having effects you don't like, most likely you should find something else to do when your friends or brothers are getting high. Take care of yourself first and foremost and don't let the others make you feel bad just because you don't like the high.

No matter who you listen to about this subject, one thing is important, YOU. Trust yourself and what your body is telling you. If you don't like the high, don't do it. Nobody shoud tell you otherwise.

Answer 2

Well, there are LOTS of factors that go into play on how smoking herb can effect you: your body weight, metabolism, body's ability to handle a toxin, possible allergy, etc. There are also 2 distinct type and lots of different hybrids of marijuana.
Sativa---gives you a calm, relaxing, mellow type of high. Indica---can give you a more euphoric, trippy type of high. Try to take things slowly and know when to say when. Don't be ashamed of how much or how little you smoke. The main thing----enjoy it while you can. If you start to get a good buzz----lay off for a lil bit till you want more. It might last you a lil longer that way too.

Answer 3

Congratulations, you are on your way to self-imposed destruction. Pretty soon we'll see you post poetry questions about loneliness and isolation - and you'll think it's deep. You should try something else, like living without a clouded judgment augmented by pot.

Answer 4

marijuana isnt dangerous, u cannot overdose. but i have no idea why that happened, and all i can say is i hope u can just have fun with the drug and not feel this way.
All i can think of is that may NOT be marijuana, it could have been laced with crack or some other stronger drug

Answer 5

Drink beer=safer,legal and you get a manageable buzz if you know when to stop.
