My father was a smoker for most of his life, but he quit after he got pensioned. Never smoked myself until I met this girl. Smoked ever since, quit once for six months with no problems.

Don't smoke marihuana, 'cause I don't need stuff to get high. Also can't stand the smell (I once almost passed out of the sheer smell of incense in church), but I also sometimes can't stand smoke when I don't smoke myself.

Increased photosensitivity? I'm usually quite sensitive to light, having extremely light eyes (light blue-gray color)... and I know your pupils will get dilated after weed. But there was just one candle burning in that room.... Can you get THAT photosensitive?

It depends ... if you're looking right at a light source in a dark room, yeah. Photosensitivity isn't so much about the brightness as about the contrast.

I still kinda think it was something about my heart. Because it all seems to fit in "heart problems" -> incredibly fast heart rate, faster than I've ever had it, loss of blood in extremities, incredibly, "dead-ish" white skin and extreme cold, violent shaking from said cold, dark red lips and eyes.....

Weed increases your heart rate and blood pressure somewhat. Usually this will cause you to flush and become warm and sweat, not become pallid and cold and lose blood in your extremities.

I think you either experienced a placebo effect stemming from your expectations, a panic attack (sometimes happens with marijuana) or a toxic effect of some sort (say, the dealer dusted the buds with methamphetamine to boost his sales by giving it some kick and addictive properties, or the grower contaminated it with fertilizers, or the guy who rolled it decided to add some crack or something).

Also, you say you had been smoking for a few months. This isn't long enough to build up alot of tolerance to nicotine, and if your marijuana was mixed with tobacco, you're inhaling it deeply and holding it in your lungs (presumably), which isn't done with cigarettes. This could cause nicotine poisoning

Photosensitivity: then that's probably somewhat understandable, since I think there was some contrast. I'll make sure to avoid that.

Could be, I immediately thought of the placebo (it was probably my first thought when I started feeling weird, "isn't it because I don't know how it feels like and I'm expecting something?"), but after analyzing my thoughts after that I don't think it was that....

About the nicotine poisoning, doubt it. I was already well able to handle one pack/night, even though I didn't do it regularly. It had a bit of tobacco, don't know exactly how much but I've seen the guy who rolled it put some in from a cigarette.

Anyway, yeah, thanks a lot, it could have been any of those things that you say. I actually tried it again 2 weeks after that but I was kinda scared by my previous experience so I only took so little that I could barely taste/smell it. Didn't have any effect at all, as I expected.
