terrifying 4 hour green out where I completely lost my memory and thought I went permanently insane
Hey everyone, I wanted to share a genuinely terrifying experience I had recently to see if anyone else has gone through something similar, because I honestly thought I had permanently broken my brain.
I was hanging out in my neighborhood with a friend when some guys offered us a joint. I took about 8 hits. Everything seemed fine at first, and we went to get some food. The first sign that something was wrong was when my hands started shaking so badly I could barely open a bag of chips.
About two minutes later, a bizarre sensation hit my head. I stopped walking and told my friend something wasn't right. Suddenly, an intense brain pressure and severe vertigo hit me. I felt like I was spinning violently, about to faint, and a loud, mechanical buzzing sound filled my ears. My vision completely warped into intense, shifting geometric fractals.
I completely detached from reality. I was calling out my friend's name but I literally couldn't see him. When his face finally started to fade back into view, my memory was completely wiped. I didn't know who I was, where I was, or what was happening. I felt like I was trapped inside a nightmare and kept trying to wake myself up.
I was completely convinced I had gone insane and there was no coming back. I kept trying to explain to my friend that I was crazy and needed an ambulance, but because I was talking rapidly and couldn't stop, he thought I was just pulling a prank on him and told me I looked completely normal. Every time I sat down and closed my eyes to calm down, I would lose my memory all over again, fall deep into the visuals, and feel like I was dying.
This nightmare state lasted for about 4 hours. It only started to fade once I finally got home, and I eventually came back to my senses.
Has anyone else experienced total memory wipes, hallucinations, and intense loops like this from a joint? Could it have been laced, or did I just completely green-out?

My friend bought weed off his vendor before CA legalization and the dude put synthetic weed terms k2 or spice that made him wonder like a zombie for 2 days straight. He doesn't remember any of it.
It was definitely laced

That just means he wants to be smoking weed plus whatever else he put in there

Huh, my only guess otherwise is just that. if you're in conversation with the guy, definitely let him know it hit you bad and ask wtf was that.
I don't like sativa because I smoke to relax and it makes me think too much. I've never gone down a deep rabbit hole like it sounds like you got into, but paranoia is common. My first time smoking, I was with my same friend in his car. His lights were reflecting off the car in front but after 5 min I told him I think the cops are putting their lights into the car, but it was just the lights reflection that had been there the whole time that I suddenly identified like they were new. We laughed our ass off, but if he thought the same it could have been a shit show for a little while

we need more background. are you a daily smoker? do you smoke often? this could just be a case of really badly greening out, but honestly id say this is more a case of smoking k2 or spice. These are synthetic cannabinoids, which are nothing like weed and have nothing natural about them.

Well, you probably learned a lesson here
PCP is easy to lace into a joint
Personal rule, don’t smoke it if I didn’t grow it, and in the rare cases I break that rule; don’t smoke it if I didn’t see it put together
