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 mimic the beginning stages of schizophrenia. 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 literally on fire for FOUR hours.
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?
Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor. Anyways, probably wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to take a break from weed. ^_^
