What most people fail to realize is that the effects which cause people to freak out the most (frame vision and fast heart rate) are normal. Weed actually falls into the category of 4 drugs by effects - psychedelic, stimulant, depressant/sedative and hypnotic. Thus, the range of effects that weed can have on your mind/body can be quite varied. But I will address the most common "negative" side effects that lead to a bad experience for most:

The frame vision and everythin goin slow motion (includin your sense of time) is caused by your brain receivin a larger amount of information at once than it normally does; this is actually quite normal for stronger psychedelics such as shrooms, etc, but it can happen on high doses of weed / strong stuff. Learn to enjoy it, cause it can actually make things quite fun and interestin.

The fast heart rate is actually quite normal for weed, too (particularly with sativa strains). This is the most common stimulant effect from cannabis, and it is often the main trigger for anxiety/bad trips for most people. A good way to turn the fast heart rate into a good thing is to think of it as a warm buzz that spreads from your heart to the rest of the body - that's what I do at least. It actually feels quite nice if you think about it. :D

The not bein able to move much / at all is just a strong example of what the depressant effects of cannabis can be like in high doses. Think of it as bein overly drunk - you have trouble movin, you can barely keep your eyes open, and you're constantly about to fall asleep. Nothin harmful, though, as it all wears off eventually.

The inebriatin effects of cannabis (clumsyness, gettin "stupid") are also quite normal, too. Both the inebriatin and depressant effects are trademark indica features.

Hopefully this will ease up things for some people. Also, a good way to "abort" a bad trip is to EAT!!! As we all know, eatin kills/reduces your high. If you eat a burger or 2 - or better yet - have a good meal, then you will significantly reduce the strength of your high. That's why I don't like eatin durin my peak, cause then I can never enjoy my weed at its best. But if you really have to, eat. It will distract you, it will drive your tastebuds wild with pleasure, and it will bring you down from your peak.


..if you had EATEN weed though, then good luck. All you can do then is wait it out. Just remember the things I wrote.

Yeah, and if you call any government service telling them you're high and need help, they're gonna put you on probation.

Man i love it when my heart starts racing like that, go turn on some speed metal, techno, or some other fast paced shit. I used to take some pill i got from a friend in school and id turn on my mp3 player and just start drawing really weird abstract art and twitch my leg to keep the energy from building up and freaking me out.

Next time you have that trip again turn on some good Bob Marley and meditate... And remember: its just the weed.

If that happens, drink apple juice. Tends to shorten the length of the high. For me, at least. Worth a try.

I was handed a joint by a buddy a couple years ago at a concert. It was near the end of the show, I smoked about half the fucking thing, and on the drive home I started hallucinating and having some weird kaleidoscope vision shit going on. Turned out that he'd put a hit of acid on the paper he rolled the joint with. Wasn't fun at the time but it was a hell of an experience.

That'd be great, if you could smoke acid.
I personally recommend checking oneself for OCD at least once every 5 minutes.

the best thing to do when having a negative weed high is to sit down, relax and put on some good music. or talk to friends. actually, something i learned to do (once in a while i have a negative high) is to just completely ignore negative effects, act like they are not there. they tend to fade after that.

the worst i ever did was this. i had a migraine, and i thought weed would relieve the pain. DEAD WRONG. it just hurt worse and i started getting all negative and thought weed was fucking my whole life up. i hopped in the shower, (another good technique for relieving bad trips) and it was all good.
