My first marijuana high was a disaster...Why though?

Question

Hi. I know that a lot of you don't support recreational use of Marijuana but I'm just here to clear up a few things. I'm a lightweight, 5'6, 100lbs, female, age 15. I got my hands on a gram of California-grown Lemon Kush and decided to try smoking it with some friends. I pulled out my friend's bong and used it. Obviously, I effed up quite a bit because it was my first time. Here's where the trouble starts- both my parents were home and we had done it in my room. I closed the vent and did it by the window or everything, but I was so scared of my parents walking in that I was physically shaking as I was holding the lighter and positioning the bud in the little bowl. OF course, I went along with the situation and took several bong rips. I think 4 of them were actually successful, though. There was A LOT of smoke coming out of my mouth, it was almost pretty. ( I blew out the window for obvious reasons). My friends told me that my eyes were going glossy and I started feeling slightly hazy. And then BAM, it hit me like a wall. My vision started shrinking and stretching and the colors were turning into like, different shades... like an instagram filter... And my hearing was warped, too... I started SCREAM LAUGHING at everything and I just had no control over anything. My friend laughed with me and said "Corn dog" and I totally lost it. 
and then, there was this big chunk that I can't really remember, but then everything started going REALLY REALLY REALLY FAST, and then really really really slow, and I absolutely refused to shut up. I was so scared that this wasn't real life and that everything was a really screwed up and realistic dream and I was almost tempted to go downstairs and tell my parents. I was also like, twitching and convulsing a lot. I was so anxious and crazy for some reason and I refused to STFU. Like anything that was going on in my head was coming out of my mouth. I kept on telling my friends not to take too much like I did and they listened to me (grudgingly)... I was flipping out and I was both laughing and freaked out at the same time and the whole experience was really scary. My friends had an awesome time... One sat dormant on my carpet for like half an hour, and the other one pulled out some bubble solution and had a great time. I was the only one whose mind and mouth were going at 10000000 miles per minute. I could think coherently, obviously, but the entire time my mind was like "WHAT DO I DO WHAT IS THIS MYSTERIOUS AND AWFUL FEELING?!?!?!?!" After about an hour and a half, I started to calm down, but I was still twitching and I just didn't feel good. I was still talking really weirdly Not saying weird things (well yeah, I kind of was), but my way of speech was really off. Like, robotic or something. My friends were able to 'snap out of it' and talk to their parents on the phone and stuff, but I just sounded dumb. Not even music would calm me down. 

And...well, that was it. It was terrible. Did I take too much? Was it just the weed, or was it me? Did this happen because I was so nervous about my parents?

Thank you for reading and helping :)

To be honest, this has scared  me off of weed. I don't want to be "that" high person, if you get what I'm saying.... Will that change?

It just sounds to me like you smoked it in the wrong setting. You were nervous about your parents being home, and that will almost always translate into a bad, anxiety-filled experience. You shouldn't worry about it, and if you ever try smoking again, make sure you are comfortable, both physically and emotionally.

I smoke weed quite a bit, there are a few types out there and a lot of them have really strong chemicals and other drugs in them as well
The main side effects of weed are getting really tired and jelly-like all over your body, eating a lot and laughing hysterically, however sometimes you can get really delusional and hallucinate. This has only happened to me a couple times where i had a really strong type of weed. so it could just be that you had heapsssssss! especially because it was your first time
Some of your symptoms however remind me of the first time i took a couple MDMA pills, i had heaps of energy, i thought everything in the world was amazing and i was insanely happy, i was thinkign about a trillion different things at the same time, but then at the same time i was anxious and angry and worried because i couldnt calm down and i was freaking out really bad, i was also talking really really fast and weird. 
So that seems kind of similar to you, and its possible that your weed was mixed with some other drugs as well. be careful and make sure you get weed from people you know and people who are experienced, if youre buying it from someone who you dont know they could just shove anything they want in it just to get more money or so that they can keep the good stuff to themselves

also i found that the first few times smoking weed i laughed a lot and was really 'high' and 'happy' but now im more sleepy and tired

i know how you feel, I've felt this way before it wasn't from drugs though it was from being psychotic which is like 10 times worse

For some people, drugs just don't work. Like, I have a lot of friends who do drugs and like, for some people they either get bad trips more often or it always has a bad reaction(the latter is really rare though)
Also for some people certain drugs just don't work or work as well. I dunno it's weird

Hey have you had any other mental problems since then? Like been more anxious, seen things, been sad, etc?
Sometimes(it actually happens more than druggies like to admit) doing drugs, even 'harmless' ones like weed can cause adverse reactions.

That sure as hell doesn't sound like weed. My first time with weed I stared in the mirror for 20 minutes, facinated that I couldnt widen my eyes as if I were surprised.... that is more what happens with weed. It must have been laced with something. Either you have ****** friends or your friend has an ****** dealer. Either way, pretty positive that was not weed.
