Ok so my dad just had surgery, his percassetes make him nauseus so I suggested some MJ. Before you all assblast me saying " oh yeah thats some shit mexican weed" Its not, it was BC bud, 20$/g.
Anyway, he said that he'de try it. He did and he seemed alright, ate some food watched tv relaxed. (I was super happy about him eating ) He told me that he got really dizzy or uncomfortable.
Has this happened to someone else, or someone you know? Any solutions or ways to inhibit his "spins"?

Tell some stories or give some advice, mucho appreciated ^D^

Anytime you mix, mostly with alcohol, thatll happen. Have him try without the meds if he can, or is willing.

My xgf and I finished off some C99 I'd kept in the freezer. She got the spins quite bad, then threw up and passed out. I didn't throw up but I did pass out. I would have enjoyed it more if xgf weren't so plainly miserable.
I didn't quite get the spins, but I got mild nitrous visuals before the planet tilted around my feet ...
... only time I actually passed out from weed. No other drugs were involved, incl. alcohol. cn

is this his first time smoking weed? lol first time smoking weed and you gave him some BC bud of course hes gunna get a little dizzy lol

I imagine he was probably feeling a little light headed, I get it sometimes when I smoke too much too fast or some really strong weed. It's feels like a combination of low blood surger and low blood pressure, when I feel like this if i stand up I will nearly faint.

Guess its what some people call a whitie or a white out. I suggest not giving him so much smoke next time and giving him some sugary drink(fruit juice) to keep his blood surgars up.


on a side note:
If I drink alot of booze but I'm doing pretty good I'll get the spins as soon as I take a toke

Weed can do some strange things to some people, I had an xgf who didnt really smoke weed at all. We smoked a joint one night and she spent 2 hours quivering beside me in bed making weird mumbly noises and breathing very irregularly. it was really awkward. It was almost like she was having a very mild seizure.

when I was younger I used to smoke as much weed as I possibly could.. I dont know why I did this, it was pretty stupid.
Anyways one day I smoked a half gram of home made Iso oil in one massive yellow/brown nasty toke. About half an hour later I went blind, it lasted for about 5 minutes. I attribute this to low blood pressure and low blood suger. I dont have diabetes or anything remotely close so it was purely the effects of weed that did this. Best advice is dont smoke so much next time, it doesnt take alot of weed to get high

Too much weed can trigger a panic attack like spell. Pretty frequently if there new and have some deep undealt with anxiety ive noticed.
I did the same shit when i was young.
And as for the blindness, bloodpressure has something to do with it. Some people have very weak synchopy ( like i do ) . It can make you see purple black or nothing at all and can last for a few minutes, more severly it can make your drop. pass out lol. Its pretty entertaining but I asked my MD the same thing, that was his explanation. If it happens alot , increase your salt and potassium intake that shit will never happen again.
;D happy smoking

You probably went blind from firing your eyeballs into the wall from the coughing. ;) Must have been epic! I cannot take more than ~10 mg at a whack (a sesame-seed-sized bit) of good extract, and that one dab'll do me. cn

THC lowers blood pressure, if you smoke enough of it, you can experience hypotension, and suffer from vertigo (spinning)

LOL yea it sure was epic... I felt like my lungs got ripped right out of my body lol. Collapsed to the ground and choked hard for a few minutes trying not to puke. Never puked doing a massive toke but I have come close a number of times. I dont do that stupid shit anymore, Id prefer to smoke a joint.

it may have been a panic attack that she had, it was weird, she was shaking slightly and wouldnt talk to me.

for you dad though I would just give him a few really small tokes at a time. He shouldnt need to get totally ripped. Also the weed wont likely cure the pain but just make it easier to deal with. It's not a pain killer but it changes your perception of the pain

I have a friend who successfully uses weed in quite low doses to reduce intake of narcotic pain pills. Friend has constant pain from old but massive injuries, and being able to dial back the narcotics was a real boon. So weed has definite promise as Hamburger Helper for prescription smack ... cn

Strong strains, especially sativa-heavy ones, can cause vertigo or even panic attacks, especially in inexperienced smokers.

With any new smoker or new strain, its always a good idea to start with 1-2 puffs then wait 10-15 minutes for the effects to kick in before taking more.

Also, weed can act as both a diuretic and a blood-pressure lowering agent. If you're sensitive to this, and you suddenly get up after smoking, you can literally pass right out. Some people call this "white out" or "grey out" and its caused by insufficient blood flow to the brain. Its happened to me, and I'll tell you, its not pleasant!

If you're familiar with the effect, you can feel it coming on and avoid the "white out" by quickly sitting or lying down.
Keeping well hydrated while smoking helps to prevent this.

I remember smoking some sour diesel. Took a couple huge bong rips. 10-15 mins later. I fell back into the door and started clutching my chest. Next thing I know I was downstairs on the living room floor. I have collapsed at the top of a friends stairs two times. Smoked some blue dream that I got from a medical dispensary and I must have smoked way too much too fast. I felt like I was dying almost My vision started to get blurry and I got the spins, oh and does anyone else get intense ringing in the ears? Whenever I got this when I smoked, I knew a panic attack was surely to happen. Glad to know I am not the only one who has had this happen from smoking weed. It kind of took the enjoyment out of smoking.

I used to get the spins back in my teens, when I would go to parties and drink a little to much, and then smoke some weed. Its the combination of the weed and alcohol. And the spins usually leads to people throwing up right after.

I used to smoke a lot back in the '70s and '80s, Thai stick, Kona, Maui, Afghani, Purple Kush, any high grade stuff. After a while I laid off due to the job I had. I could get drug tested at any time. Then a few years ago I started back up with old habits and lo and behold if I smoked too much, which by my old standards wasn't much at all, I'd get my head spinning, cold sweats, nausea, pretty much not a good time. Later I found that if I smoked just a little at a time I could regulate it better and my oz. would last a few weeks instead of 2-3 days. Moderate amounts especially for a noob like dad. 1 or 2 tokes at a time until he feels fine.
