Bad trips... Should I start growing?

[Solitude]

Hey! Im gonna share a story with you all.

About 3-4 years ago I used to smoke hash regularly about once a week. It used to feel good you know, it was strong and I had mind-boggling trips, those where after you smoke you cant really talk straight for more than 30 seconds... But after 30 min to one hour it faded away and I felt fresh again.
The problem started later on in my smoking career, I started getting really strong trips even though I smoked the same amount or even less than before, and the worst thing is that the high didn't fade away in one or two hours, it would last me the whole day. And it got progressively worse until I had this really bad trip where I only took 3 or 4 puffs but I for the following WEEK or more I had my senses all messes up, I felt ill, massive headaches throughout the day which I used to had everyday for 2 or 3 months (even though I didn't smoke anything after that one time). It was the worst experience of my life. I swore to myself to never ever again touch the stuff, and here I am again.

Now, you see, I really love smoking pot and whole marijuana culture and community. Not because its "all the cool kids at school do it" or shit like that but because I really feel like smoking pot is a mind-opening experience and more people should be able to realise that.

4 Years later here I am, I wanna start smoking again, but this time Im gonna plant my own stuff, and smoke pure weed, nature's gift, not some greasy hash cube with god knows what mixed into it.

Can you guys give me some opinions on this? What do you think caused those horrible trips and headaches? Bad stuff mixed into the hash? At the time I thought of all the possibilities in the world that could have caused those, and I researched alot, I heard some people say it may be an allergy because thats how allergies work, they start soft, but as the time goes on, and the body is in touch with more of the substance it develops more and more anti-bodies that react to that substance until it reaches a critical state where you could basically die by just smelling it. This is what really scared me... Any thoughts? Is there really anything like a allergy to thc or maybe any other component in pot?

Thanks for reading so far, and before I get any answers on this, I do know you guys aren't doctors and Im not here to be examined I just wanna hear your opinions, stories and maybe experiencies.
All kinds of feedback is welcome.

perhaps, buy a small amount and try a moderate test. two hits

Problem is, weed isn't very easily available where I live. Here we mostly have hash, and since my bad trip I don't really trust smoking stuff I buy from randoms.

if wanting to get back into it then dont see any harm in growing your own. as you say you'll know exactly whats been done with it. cant really comment on your bad trips. have never had anything like that myself and been smoking for about 13-14 years. would defiently sugest trying to get some weed to test as this will be your finished product. happy hunting and hope all is good.

It's all about smoking the right amount and going slowly, you smoke a little, see how you feel and smoke some more if you're feeling okay.

My experience isn't similar but still, here it is.

I use a bong and when i smoke too much at once, i start coughing badly.

My lungs starts burning and it makes me cough again and again until i cough so much i can't even breath anymore and the only way to stop it is to start doing oxygen burps to get the smoke out of your system which is the only reason why I'm still alive today.

I now take 3-4 hits instead of 1, i never cough and it seems to get me higher too.

Thanks for the replies so far. I guess its really all about experimentation...
I really wanna start growing and experimenting why my own stuff but I feel reluctant to start growing and investing money into seeds, lights, subtrate, ventilation and all that good stuff just to find out that I simply developed an intolerance to cannabis and then having to throw it all away (since Im not interested making a profit out of weed in any shape or form).

I know that its for a fact that some people can handle bigger amount of the stuff, while others get high with lesser amounts, thats one thing. But has anyone actually heard about an 100% intolerance towards cannabis? Or is that a myth?

 

[no clue]

I've not heard of complete intolerance to weed. I have seen people get sick (vomiting) off weed..though it's rare. My wife used to get sick off any weed that had a little bit of earthy or moldy smell (this is long before I started growing). I think this was just an allergy to mold..now she hoovers bongs like a champ with no problems.

Headaches? Body fucked up for a week?

Go get checked for allergies/toxicity.

Weed just like any other drug isn't for everyone. Some people just don't react to the cannabinoids as well as others do. No idea on the quality of the buds you're getting or how shady your dealer is, but it could be you. If you think it is the buds, but you don't want to shell out the money to grow, go find another dealer. If you still get the bad trips with them then it's you.

Nice feedback!

Its settled then, Im gonna go get checked for allergies at a doctor, never had any but who knows, then if that turns out ok Im gonna try getting some weed from a trustable dealer and see how that goes, and if that also turns out to be a good experience Ill definitely start growing my own.

I hope this shit turns out alright, If so, I hope some of you guys reading this will be following my grow journal some weeks from now.

Thanks!
