I have just had the wierdest experience I have ever had in my entire life. I need to know weather or not this has ever happend to anyone else.
Basically I smoked about half a joint full of skunk and the guy I was with got me a drink of blackcurrent juice, after I had drunk a bit of the drink my heart started to beat faster than I have ever felt it beat before this really scared me. I then started to find it increasingly hard to breath and my face was tingling. I then looked at the drink the guy had given me and realised that my drink had bubbles and his didn’t (I know this sounds rally wierd) this then convinced me that he had spiked my drink.
I then started crying of all things because I didn’t know weather or not I was suffering with paranoia and I felt bad for thinking such a thing. I went to the toilet and looked at myself in the mirror and my pupils where bigger than I had ever seen them before at this point I realised that what ever was happening to me I had to get out of the house. I ended up running down the street in absolute hysterics in the middle of the night (I looked like a nutter) I really believed that I had had my drink spiked. I spoke to the police (who may I add where really helpful) and they told me that it was infact the joint that I had smoked.
I am so confused was it the joint,did I get my drink spiked or am I going mad? I was so scared I had no idea where I was or why I had phoned 999 I was psycotic. I smoke ganje quite often and this has nver happend im so confused? help? can skunk be laced with acid? can you get skunk that really is that strong? ahhhhhh
drink spiking happens so you can never rule it out but you can’t get spiked grass (just hash, rarely) regardless I’d say it’s more likely you had a panic attack and we’ve definately all been down that road, so hang in there!

acid laced weed is also a possibility, why it would send you on a schitz im not sure, maybe its your age, some people just arent ready for ‘cid
some types of skunk can indeed cause paranoia and panic attacks; and this can happen even to experienced smokers. the symptoms sound far more like this than the drink spiking drugs – had it been those you would have been unlikely to have the energy to run away (the girl in Reading who was spiked just immediately felt very sleepy and “strange”)
The breathing difficulties can happen with cannabis and might also be an allergic reaction to something or other… when skunk is grown on a commercial basis is has been known to be treated with harsh chemicals to increase yield/THC content.. also when you get frightened your body generates adrenaline which is chemically similar to amphetamines and MDMA, hence your pupils becoming bigger…
Has the chap you were with done anything previously which would make you suspect him of doing such a thing?
Most of the scum who do this are the sort of “charming, confident but very emotionally cold blokes” who usually have a history of violence or controlling behaviour against women and infidelity in relationships/multiple short-term partners… – the sort of “wannabe hard man” lads rather than the shy or quiet types……
However you come across as someone who is clued up and knows the score about a lot of things and would be unlikely to be hanging around with such a person.
I think this was just an unfortunate incident due to the effect of particularly strong cannabis, and if he is a decent bloke and you are good friends then if you apologise to him he should realise why you were worried and be OK about what happened..
golddust laced weed is also a possibility
:rolleyes: but when the symptoms can more obviously be linked to skunk why hypothetise?
skunk is a psycadelic and paranoia and even panic attacks are becoming more commonplace, in my drug project we used to see about 8-10 people a year with weed problems now we sometimes see that in a week, as a generation of puffers hit their 20’s [5+ years smokig] more experience the sort of thing described above and worse.
respect psycadelics and it may be time to take a break for a while.
I definatley will not be smoking that again anytime soon. Incidently I took his phone so that if it was just paranoia he would come to my house and get it and he did, in a wierd sort of way I knew it was paranoia but I still had to get out just incase there was a slight possibility of it being real. Its wierd because I have been getting paranoid on it for a while you no when you think people are watching you and stuff, but I have never got so paranoid that I actually thought I was going to be hurt by someone. Wow what a wake up call, funny you should mention peeple coming up to there 20’s, I have been smoking it for about 5 years now so I think its time to stop or take a break. man I was so scared.
No he has never done anything to make me think like that infact he is a shy bloke and really inteligent, I 100% trust him I woulden’t have put mysefl in that situation otherwise, most of the time I kind of know who and who not to smoke pot with. I felt really comfortable with him. I have spoken to him since and he has spoken to the person who he brought the skunk from. I have had some sleep and time to think now and I dont believe it was laced with acid or that I was spiked I just think I smoked real skunk, not homegrown weed which I always thought was skunk. I now realise what a strong drug it is, and im going to think of it as an experience (not a very nice one).
and on the acid front I have taken it before and was fine, if it was lace with acid as far as I no I was smoking weed so why would I be expect to be tripping? My dad WAS spiked with acid once (in a drink) and the only thing that scared him is the fact that he had no idea what he was on, if he had knowingly taken(which he has) it he would have been fine. I meen you dont expect to drink a beer and the trees turn purple do you?
The good thing about a skunk episode is it doesn’t generally last too long, a few hours, a bad acid trip can go on for a looooooooooong time and seem like fucking hell, with panic attacks, remember adrenalin is agrivating the experience, breath slowly and deeply for as little as 5 minutes and you body will remove the adrenalin from your system calmmiing you down, anything else that relaxes you will help..note to smokers weed is not a relaxaant or depresssant it is a psycadelic which mean it can magnify current experience (set and setting) so even if people tell you weed will chill you out they are wrong, it will magnify whatever you are feeling including anxiety and paranoia.
because it has chilled you oout in the past does not mean thhis is what it does, in my experience this is where most smokers get it wrong…false learning.
I though high temperatutes ruined you’re acid…i.e if you smoke it it doesn’t work. (not 100% sure though)
A couple of months ago a fe mates come back to mine after some beers in the local and got out the skunk. After about half a joint a completely freaked out.. and got massive memory loss. I remeber smoking it, and then nothing for about 20 minutes. Next thing I know im in the garden rocking back and forth like I belong in a nuthouse asking my mate when the ambulance is gunna be here to pick up the dead person thats in my house. He kept telling me no one was dead but I ended up crying and screaming my head off in the street because of this none existant dead person. Next thing I know im on the loo with a bad case of the shits :confused: and then passed out!
First time ive touched skunk in a few years, and definately the last!
Inck im so glad to here that somebody else has had that much of a bad experience just form smoking skunk, I seriously believed that that sort of thing would never happen to me, I thought I was really experienced in the drug taking field clearly not!! :rolleyes:
No me either mate. First time ive ever really freaked out like that and it nearly put me off. But I guess its something we all have to go through at some point!
i know im not 100% sure of the complexities, but its treated differently, and then the weed is laced…some expert knowledge would be nice right now…where G.L when you need him?
Hello.
The acid that is used in laced weed/hash/skunk is usually a lot cleaner acid than is found in most trips – more like liquid than blotters.
A lot of the uncomfort & paranoia in modern blotters comes from the amount of strychnine which is put into it – I don’t know a great deal about strychnine other than it causes *relatively* similar effects, but is much cheaper and easier to prepare than real LSD.
Also, when smoking dope, apparently 80% of the smoke is lost – through exhaling and smoke off the spliff.
To get a proper high from the acid in laced weed, there needs to be a LOT of acid in there, which not only would detract from the smoking quality, but it would also become very expensive and time consuming to produce. The buzz you get is a much calmer smoother buzz than a proper trip.
All psychoactive substances amplify feelings and emotions ALREADY present, even if these are completely unexpected. A friend of mine, not so long ago, went proper crazy and is now in help – we were told that this came from smoking weed. He had been smoking for plenty of years before, but it took quite a while for the bad effects to come.
Remember though, just because the police said it was the spliff that sent you off, they are not chemists and the chances are that most of them only know the scare stories about drugs, rather than impartial truth.
I’d ask your mate what he put in the Ribena…
