Why Do Grass Give Me Gas?

I've been a daily smoker for over 2 years now, and the last 6 months have been strange....to say the least. Whenever I smoke, I get REALLY gassy. Usually out the top not bottom. I get so much pressure in my chest it hurts, and look like an idiot frantically trying to clear the gas. It comes up in surges, and is more of a deep, growling rush of air than a normal burp. The pressure can get so intense it causes me to have panic attacks, and if you've ever had one, you know they are no joke. Also, on a more gross note, lots of diarrhea usually follows very closely.

At first, I thought it was my diet. I altered it with no change. Then I thought it may be the smoke, so I started to vaporize only. Nothing. So now I am on a weed break, 24 hours in to be exact, Probably why I'm up late typing this....:sad: and NO GAS. For the first time in a few weeks I had a large meal and didn't spend the next 2 hours frantically burping to ease my pain. I blame the magic flight for being too awesome, nah jk, I love it.

Has anyone experienced these symptoms? I don't want to stop getting high, but damn, for a young male in my 20's, I shouldn't have to deal with this. Is it anxiety or weed, or both?

Don't know how you would have transitioned but make sure you aren't swallowing the smoke versus inhaling it.

Anxiety can produce gas so if smoking makes you anxious that could be a trigger.

Definitely not swallowing the smoke, I know better than that. It's not the smoke that causes discomfort, but the effect of the smoke that causes the severe indigestion. but like you said, the effect of the high could be anxiety. Maybe my body is telling me to give it a break for a while. hmmm

Altering your diet once with no change is not a scientifically valid approach to solving your issue. You must alter your diet over days, weeks, months; 1 item/food at a time. Process of elimination.

It does just the opposite for me.
It helps to relieve stomach/intestinal discomfort.

Do you buy or grow?
Maybe the purchased stuff had some funky shit in it.

Just read through some of the threads here or on other mj forums.
Some growers do CRAZY shit to their weed and then sell it.

I buy, used to grow but no time anymore. What I get is always top quality and changes strain every eighth I get. But ya, I believe there are some lazy growers out there, I always think "god I hope he flushed".

Budlover, I have attempted to make my diet change permanent, however, I am a broke college student with little time. I've begun making my own homemade granola (organic oats, coconut oil, org dried fruits and nuts) for all snacking. Has helped a little. Does anyone here drink kombucha? I brew my own, and have worried that it could be screwing with my stomach. I mean it has gluconic acid, a natural thc detox, and I smoke daily. Maybe I got a battle going on inside me.

I don't know whether anyone cares, but I want to post once more on this topic. I've haven't toked up in over 48 hours and not a single burping spell. No significant change in diet, just no herb. Feels quite nice actually. Wish there was an explanation but I guess everyone is different.

Peace and Love

I used to get gas when I smoked. I would get that empty hollow stomach feeling after smoking and I would start burping. I do not smoke on an empty stomach anymore and also try to eat or drink something right after smoking and it no longer happens.

maybe the munchies are doing some shit to the contents of your belly. sometimes if i get the munchies my gut will gurgle like there's stuff moving around in there. the air's gotta go somewhere. try smoking on a full stomach and see if you still get gas.

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to share my analysis from my similar experience. When I was between 23-30 years of age, about the years 93'-2000' I spoked weed whenever I wrote music lyrics. It would give me super focus, and I became super weedman with creativity. Years later, one day the weed made my lungs feel full of smoke, and the only way to aleviate the problem was to burp, letting out the air. Sometimes I would have to burp alot, and often just to get rid, of what I later discovered was anxiety. So what do you know weed gives me anxienty after all these years of smoking, so I stopped a month of smoking to test. It did it again, months later, same. A year, same. So what I discovered and finally having a break thru, is that all along it's the strain of weed that has changed since the 90's. These growers are putting chemicals in it that some smokers body's can't deal with. Recently I found some weed that was dry, and had a familiar smell that I remembered from the 90's tried it and it did not give me anxiety. The Indika, and Sativa, not sure I'm spelling it right, gave me anxiety. The weed I had the other day, was not as leafy with the sorta smooth hairy coating, but yet dry. I kept telling my friends, I need that weed from the 90's. Some people have stronger tolorance to it, but I don't. Know yours. I don't know the name of the weed I smoked, because I took a pinch, from a friend of a friends stash from the music studio. I think if you're having this problem, try simpler weed, if you can find it, might be that organically grown back yard shit who knows, might gets you high for 15min, and dissapear, then you have to tote again. So what you won't have anxiety, and you'll be able to smoke and enjoy youself. Save that new shit for Snoop Dog and Wiz Khalifa weed heads. Know your limit, or suffer the consequence. SIMPLER WEED!!!

same problem any way I took it - smoke, eat, tea...Felt the same frustration trying to figure out why it was doing this. I too use it for creativity. I seek insight...prehaps simpler weed?

This is totally true!!!
Since I started to smoke weed I had several issues but I fixed all!! First Just go to a Doctor and tell yours problems!!
The most common problem is after you smoke some strains direct you wanna eat everything!! THIS IS A SHIT!!!
man your stomach is not made of platinum , aka many people smoke weed to relief the anxious perhaps some strains make you more anxious and wanna eat until you fell your stomach is full!! THAT's COMPLETED WRONG after a while you are gonna have several problems!!

Actually I discovery the power of Sativas and during my day just smoke that shit and in the night a good INDICA and I DO NOT EAT MORE otherwise I will wake up coughing a lot because of acid re flux

Just try smoke less weed make more exercises everything in excess is NOT GOOD for your body even water in excess can kill you!!
