Why did I almost black out from weed?

Question

Last night I shared a blunt with one other person. In the blunt there was about 3 joints worth of weed (3 dimebags). It wasn't my first time smoking. Over the summer I smoked at least 5 times in different quantities that ranged from an entire dimebag to three quarters of a dimebag. then once or twice i may have smoked twice the amount of a dimebag. 

However, last night I smoked three dimebags worth in a blunt with one other friend of mine. Afterwards, as we walked, my vision began to flicker which I knew was normal. This effect started to escalate as I was able to feel my muscles stretch with each movement I made along with the blood moving through my veins. I got unbelievably dizzy and lightheaded so I tried sitting down. After I sat down I realized how fast my heart was beating.

With each block we walked I had to sit down and rest. The same went for my friend. With us was one sober friend who was able to get us some water. My vision and reflexes were completely delayed and silent, and several times i was unbearably close to blacking out. 

The entire time I was worrying that I would pass out and wake up later in a hospital, or that I would find myself being driven home by a cop or something. All of this was just paranoia coming from how I felt but I was convinced that it wouldnt' turn out well. Eventually I found a Dunkin Donuts and began to relax a little.

Anyway, the way I felt wasn't normal. My heart beat was at a deadly rate. 

Now I'm wondering this: Why did this happen to me, and can a person die from large quantities of weed?

It was three dimebags worth of weed rolled in a cherry flavored blunt wrap. I'm guessing that because it burned slow and i took 2-3 hits at a time, I got the worst that I possibly could have gotten out of it. After smoking at least 5 times before I assumed my tolerance was high enough to consume roughly about 1.5 dimebags (since i shared it with me friend, but we didn't take an equal amount of hits)

Also, with how I felt I was nearly convinced that I could have died from my heart beat going so quickly or something. Just out of curiosity, can such a large quantity of weed kill a person?

I'm giving up on this drug for a long time. I'm not at all opposed to it, but I feel like with my horrific experience I'd best be staying away from it for a while.

I agree with the stoned ranger guy, it wasn't laced. dealers don't do that, it's rare that they do. I'm not saying it can't happen because it can but I don't think that was your situation.. what I think happened is you just smoked too much, another suggestion is it could of been synthetic weed. a lot of different gas stations sell certain types of incense and potpourri that contains chemicals they give you a marijuana type of high (not playing the gas station by my dads house sells this **** called kush that gets you high and it's sold as insence)  but they can kill you if you smoke too much and make you a lot more paranoid then normal weed, also you smoked a lot. 3 dimes in one blunt thats a lot. weed can't kill you though, unless you smoked like a pound in one session which is impossible, and I mean literally impossible.

1- No dealer is going to go around lacing **** its weed ive only ever heard of that in my 5 years of smoking so far... and it was some who laced it on purpose because some **** happened and he was to soft to go fight the guy so he ****** with his **** lol pretty sad i know but no dealer is going to waste his money throwing **** into his weed..bad for his buisness and he probably doesnt want to get shot either 

2- a lot of times theres a reason for blacking out.... No oxygen to brain.. << happened to me twice LOL my own fault smoked a blunt and lent on the wall and got to comfy or even high/low blood sugar .. not eating before or anytime before you smoked... 

3- when ur high.. and somthing trips you out..dont worry about it..that only makes it worst..so thats probably why your heart was beating faster.. + you were walking so that didnt help much either... 

4- I remember reading somewhere an overdose on weed is about 400 pounds... so yea i praise anyone who can smoke more then 10 without hitting the ground passing out and going to sleep for the rest of the night LOL hahah

5- Its good to stop...but if know you wanna smoke more dont just stop...cause that losses the tolerence and the next time you smoke ur going to get super ripped..which is a good thing of course but honstly take it as a lesson.. you only need so much to get high..after that ur just wasting it lol

if you're buying dime bags, they're not "laced" like these cats are saying.  a dealer actually loses money by cutting dimes with other drugs...he can make more selling hard drugs straight up than he can cutting dimes; and selling drugs is all about profits.

a dime is about a gram, if you smoked 3 grams you smoked almost an 8th of an ounce in one blunt...you smoked a lot of weed in one sitting, and it was probably sh*t weed.

the first thing weed attacks if the nervous system. it is very common to experience paranoia. what you were having is an anxiety attack, trust me. you can't die from smoking weed but your heart can speed so fast when you have an anxiety attack that it makes you feel very dizzy and that can make you pass out. try skipping the weed, its not a cool thing to do and its a waste of money.

One of the problems with illegal drugs (like probably your marijuana) is one never can be sure exactly what they are getting.  

Perhaps your marijuana was laced with a more powerful drug to increase it effect.  Dealers do that sort of thing.  Not necessarily the person you bought it from either.  Organized crime controls much of the national drug trade.  Anyone in a long chain of criminals could have messed with your weed.

Just a thought.  If you are going to use illegal drugs its something to keep in mind.

Was it laced with something stronger?
Was it better quality than what you normally smoke? Good quality = less hits to get high
You can't die from weed itself but you can die from being on a trip and doing something stupid.

I don't want to judge but you are very well aware that it is drugs. People only need all sort of drugs when they get sick. When we are healthy our body doesn't need any type of drugs and feeling sick from it shouldn't have to be a surprise for you. 
That is something that you don't really need in your life. It will also affect your brain ability in time so you might want to do what is best for your health to have a better future. 
Think like this, if you'll get sick from it, it will not only affect you, but will also affect people that loves you.
You got the power to change that so best of luck to you.

It may have been laced, but 3 dimebags should not be 3 joints.  Usually a fatass nice joint would be .5 grams, your getting ripped if your paying 10 for a joint.
