Welcome to Gaia! ::

so green fever is when you puke after smoking.... but what gives you that and how can you prevent it...

some things ive figured out is if you stay sitting up when you get a dizzy feeling...

and if you drink alot of stuff imedietly after smoking, gets rid of the rezin coting your throat...

We call that Quickness Sickness here.
Remedy: Recluse from noise, and eat or drink something sweet.
I don't get Quickness anymore though, nor the munchies. I get Kottonmouth sometimes still.

I've never puked, and the only time I get cotton mouth is if I eat something dry, like crackers or cheez-its. I get the munchies, but it's never like "I've gotta eat, I've gotta eat, I've gotta eat".

That is really what its from. Coughing so hard that you push all the stuff outta your tummy. Take smaller hits. Yeah I get that you want the big ones but if they are making you puke take smaller ones.. You will get just as ripped off them as you would with grab you by the a**hole hits. As for the munchies... I get them horridly.. But only for chex mix and diet Pepsi .. And that taste in your throat goes away once you have smoked for long enough. I never get it any more. mrgreen

That happened to me only once. It was ninth grade and I met this new guy in my LA class. He had just moved here from Philly. We hit it off really well, although he did keep hitting on me, despite meeting my boyfriend. We wound up being friends for 8 years, until he moved to Ohio earlier this year and never talked to me again. a*****e. Anyway... I had only just started smoking a few months previously, when my boyfriend had introduced me to that glorious green plant. He invited me over to his house Friday to smoke some bud, and his aunt goes out of town to get her green, and she usually got a few different types, so I was excited. I remember smoking that joint and how bitter it tasted, but I thought because I was inexperienced, and that it was exotic weed, that it was supposed to taste that foul.

I remember only a few things from that day... I remember how the red kool-aid in the cup was coming out of the glass and distorting into something that looked like intestines. I remember sweating so much that my shirt was as wet as if I was in the rain. I remember his aunt saying "You gave her the wrong one." I remember telling them to take me home, and that on the ride home I felt like we were going so fast that I was pinned to the seat, like on the Gravitron ride at the county fair. (It's a centrifugal force ride.) As soon as I got home, I bolted out of the car without saying anything to them, unlocked the door somehow, got to the bathroom, and emptied my entire stomach everywhere. I completely missed the toilet. I got in the shower, clothes on, rinsed off, took off my clothes and crawled in my bed, where I stayed until noon the next day. When Mom came home that night, though, she freaked out and I told her I ate a lot of pizza without taking my pills, and that pretty much explained the bathroom. I have a milk allergy where I can have milk, but not processed milk, like cheese or yogurt, unless I take this pill. And even then the pill doesn't work sometimes so I can't have a lot of any processed milk ever. It makes me vomit violently and causes a fever where I feel extremely hot. So fortunately she never found out what happened. And she cleaned that bathroom and I love her so much and I wish I had never made her have to do that.

When I saw my friend on Monday I told him that I was never smoking with him again. He told me that his aunt laces her joints with pcp sometimes and that I accidentally smoked one of hers. I knew what pcp was from that D.A.R.E. class we all took in middle school, but I didn't really know much about it. But I didn't talk to him for weeks. And it took a year before I finally trusted him enough to smoke with him again.

Anyway. To make a long story short, weed itself has never made me sick.

I find it's largely psychological. You think you're going to puke. So you puke.


Also, Smile. Big toothy grin. You see, smiling, with a big toothy grin, suppresses the gag reflex. This works with "green fever", the flu, anything that makes you puke.

You'll still feel like you have to puke, but you won't, you won't gag.

ill have to try that. any clue (physionomically) why exactly that is supposed to work?

{{{best guess-leftover from when we were more carnivorous? carnivore bare their teeth before a fight[how we got that switched i dunno] and puking just before fighting would be a good way to lose teh fight???}}}

meh. barfing sucks.
thankfully ive never done teh potbarf.

That I don't know. It works for me, but appearently, rubbing your temples works for others.

The problem is, depending on how bad I want/need to puke I get tired of smiling before I get over the nausea. So I just use it to keep the vomit in my belly until I get to a restroom.

It's never cool to puke on your friends floor.

I don't know, I wouldn't want to fight somebody after they puked on me.

...Or maybe I'd want to fight them more.
