Has anyone ever had a really bad experience with weed?
I recently had a very bad experience. I got so paranoid I thought I was going to die.

YES! Anxiety and paranoia are common symptoms of marijuana. I've looked at peer-reviewed scientific journals which said marijuana can [b]mimic the beginning stages of schizophrenia[/b]. Don't worry too much though, because weed can't actually activate dormant mental illness, and it won't make you permanently crazy--but it can sure make you feel it while it lasts.
If you want to keep smoking, you'll want to go with a strain with a high CBD to THC ratio. The CBD kinda keeps the THC in check and reduces anxiety. Indicas are less likely to cause anxiety and paranoia than Sativas, I think.
My relationship with marijuana was one of love and affection and eternal devotion, until it turned on me.
I took acid when I was 19 years old, and I had a bad trip. The worst. Hellish. Horrible. I would have rather died or been crippled. I smoked a blunt right before the blotter hit, and then I was sent to Hell.
Ever since that night, any time I take even one puff, I get sent right back into that infinite fear, paranoia, religious delusions. It's awful.
In addition, I have also smoked weed that must have been laced with something, because it felt like my entire body--including my favorite part--was [b] literally on fire for FOUR hours[/b].
I loved weed. But it stopped loving me. But for you, it may have just been the particular strain.

@Tatsumi I’m sorry this happened to you. I have always had good experiences with weed until this last time. My entire body was shaking and I was making bizarre movements without having control over them. My boyfriend was throwing up and it would freak me out even more. I lost sense of time and felt like I was in a different universe or something and time was passing by so slowly. I just thought I would die. You’re probably right, it might have been laced with something, I don’t think I’ll be able to smoke for a really long time though.

@Silentcry Ahh, okay, yeah. That's not normal. If it was street weed, likely it was laced with something.
PCP lace could cause those involuntary movements, mild/moderate auditory/visual hallucinations, and feelings of depersonalization: like unreal-ness, and it's a common lace with marijuana. It causes perceptual changes, which could fuck with your sense of time.
How long did the effect last?
