Does Smoking Marijuana Cause Dizziness, Nausea And Hallucinations?

Hi



I don't know if this chat thing works but



On Saturday I was smoking marijuana and it has been about the 15th time I ever had it. That time was the strongest and scariest experience with it.

It was naseating, dizzy, tingly, vision problems, halluenating, etc.

It has never been like that strong before. I maybe took 15 hits, then went to bed.

But today, I still feel those same effects.



Why did this happen and what can I do to fix it?
