Why do people get bad trips after smoking marijuana?
When i was about 15 or so I smoked my first joint and to be honest it was amazing. The second time I did it, even though I thought to myself because all I ever heard was that there are never really any side effects, I tripped very badly. I smoked it at my house with a friend and I thought I was going to die. Not Exaggerating . I was lying in my bed, my face was pressed against the pillow and my friend was laying next to me wathcing a movie whilst at the same time on a really good trip. My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest because it was racing at a million miles per hour and I am a person that hates thorwing up. I dont know why it is just one of most disgusting things for me. I had to rush to the toilet because I knew I was going to any minute. After I threw up I felt great. I immediatly went to sleep after that but in some way I was jst glad to have it out of me. I smoked weed a few times after that and I had no problems at all. But then it happend again at a small party and thankfully my girlfriend ( long ex now) was there to comfort me. I had the same sensations. Paranoia, Heart-race and just a constant feel of throwing up. At the time I was 16 I think. Since then I have thankfully had no other bad trips. I am a person who thinks its stupid to stop doing something if it may have gone wrong. I know that with drugs its a bit different but it is kind of just Marijuana. I smoked it from a bong, blunt and other improvised devices that young people make out of boredom or fun. So my message is that thes so called “bad trips “ very much do exist. I am not a weak person. I have no mental issues ( or none that I am aware of) but I think that that it can happen to any and everyone. Have a great evening guys and I hope I could help by telling a bit about my own experience. �,��(n
Why do I get so paranoid/scared when high?
Weed just lowers your conscious resistance - and your unconscious tends to flood in. Sometimes it's fun and sometimes it's full of fear and anxiety. What you're describing here is Freud's "Superego" - it's the "voice" of your parents playing in your head. Everybody's got one - some are more "punishing" than others. So when you smoke the dope, it's more possible for this "Superego" fear and circumspection to come crashing into your mind. Probably if you notice very carefully, you'll find it's in your mind anyway much of the time - it's just that you can control it better. Paranoid/scared always feels like you're going to die for some reason - maybe somebody is going to kill you. But it's all in the "normal" range. Weed just reveals what's in the basement of your mind. If you don't like it, you can always quit smoking it. But what's in your mind is real and will remain there.

Scared. My high school is having a blood drive.?
Don't be scared. It isn't painful at all. When you go in to sign up to give blood, tell them about your fears. They will have a very experienced nurse draw the blood. You lie down on a table and they roll your sleeve up. Then they tie a little rubber hose looking thing around your arm so your vein will be more easy to see. They will insert the needle and you won't feel anything after that. They attach the bag to collect the blood in and will check on it to see that the blood is flowing properly. Don't look at the needle or the bag if it makes you queasy. It is an excellent cause and there are so many who need blood. The blood banks all over the country are down and in need of donations. You could be saving a life for a few moments of anxiety. Bring a friend to talk with you during the blood draw and it will take your mind off it. After they take the blood (not a long time; maybe 15 or 20 minutes), they will give you a drink of juice and a donut or something to snack on. You will feel fine. (Oh, and I would suggest that you make sure that you drink fluids before you go in. At least three or four glasses of fluid during the day because the blood flows much more easily when you are hydrated.) Do this wonderful thing and you won't fear it anymore. I promise you that it is not as bad as you are thinking it will be. Be brave and do a wonderful service to those in need. Thank you for having the courage to go through with this.
I'm Scared to Eat, so Will Protein Shakes Work?
I'm scared to eat. Will Special K protein shakes and Boost High Protein Shakes work? I'm traumatized from a recent case of food poisoning and a man I knew choked to death on food. So now I'm turned off by food. The only thing I touch is low fat yogurt and sugar free jello. I mostly have been drinking water, skim milk, and 1 to 2 protein shakes a day. I am trying to lose 2 inches off my waist so I drink 1 or 2 protein shakes because protein helps with muscle building. Can I continue getting by on 1 to 2 Special K protein shakes or Boost high protein shakes? Will I lose weight still? I just don't want to eat solid foods since that food poisoning incident and that scary incident in which a man I knew died from choking. That incident was scary.I'm turned off by food as a result.
Any other teens afraid of getting drunk?
I understand how you feel, I am still in control when I drink, I'm a bit less self conscious I suppose but I still don't do anything dangerous or out of character(i.e drive or have sex). I never get hangovers because I stay hydrated. Eat before hand and take it slow, there shouldn't be any rush and you shouldn't feel pressured. When I was younger I had one experience where I had alcohol poisoning and not only was I too young to recognize I needed to slow the drinking down but friends didn't really know much about alcohol poisoning. There was also one time last summer where I had heat stroke at the same time when I was drinking and I got sick but mammabear took me home and it was fine. But I'm almost 17 and I've been drinking(in small amounts) since I was 12 and I've only had two bad experiences and lots of really great ones that I don't really know how to put into words. You also get to know all your friends really well, it can be great for bonding, my group of friends is large and close for that reason(in part) and we go to shows and dance our hearts out, go to bars and socialize, host parties and meet new people, do art, tie dye, go out for great food etc.
I'm starting high school?
Yes, high school can be bad and scary. You're gonna have some of the worst days you've ever experienced. HOWEVER, high school is great. The good will definitely outweigh the bad in every way possible. We all get used to high school after awhile, but it is important that you are honest when you get there. Show them who YOU are and not what you think they wanna see. Don't worry about not feeling like you're not good enough, you'll be good enough for somebody. Also, don't be afraid to join every club, society, sport, band, etc. you want to. This was my mistake freshman year when I didn't join the debate team when I really wanted to, but I was too scared. I joined sophomore year and they made me captain junior year and now that I'm going into my senior year in September, I'll still be debate team captain. Make sure you do all your work because even though freshman year doesn't seem like much, it sets the base of your GPA so start off strong. High school(and life in general) is based on trial and error. You're gonna make mistakes there, people aren't gonna like you(sometimes for no reason), etc. It's all about how you bounce back and handle the situations(maturely). Good luck, I hope I helped, and have a lot of fun because it ends wayyyyyyyyyyy too damn fast. It's almost over for me, but you're just starting, make it great.
