green out

A green out is a cannabis induced physiological or psychological panic attack. Symptoms include sweating, nausea, heart palpitations, hypervigilance, paranoia, and the fear or feeling that you might be dying or about to die. A green out is typically caused by smoking or ingesting too much cannabis too quickly.

Green outs are generally brief experiences and may be followed by exhaustion or drowsiness, or a rapid sobering.

Unlike black outs, memory loss doesn't tend to occur during a green out due to the intensity of a green out.

Memory loss is much more likely to occur during a long, sustained session of cannabis use.

Unlike alcohol, cannabis use affects short term memory (what was I saying?) and not long term memory (what did I do last night?).

Sativa strains may be more likely to cause green outs (while indicas are more likely to leave you stoned)
Person 1: Dude, don't smoke so much. you'll green out.
Person 2: pshh, green out, sure, whatever.
(green outs vary depending on the circumstances so it's difficult to describe a specific example, and it can take multiple green outs to really understand what's happening when you have one).
Person 2, now an experienced pothead: Dude, don't smoke so much. you'll green out.
Person 3: pshh, green out, sure, whatever.

Green Out

Basically;

You’re so high on weed (hence, “green” out), that you are totally useless. Common effects of greening out would be horrible munchies, motor functions are almost gone, you can’t speak coherently, memory loss from the night of, nausea, vomiting, etc.

In other terms, it’s like getting blacked out drunk, but instead of alcohol, it’s weed.

Green Out

Green Out: When a pot smoker has smoked a lot of weed in a short amount of time, or taken large hits of very good bud and passes out. Vision gets blurry, loss of hearing, and your balance gets so out of whack you don't know which way is up. This can happen with both newbies & long time smokers.
After three hits in a row off of the gravity bong, Clint fell over and had a green out. He woke up, drank some water & was fine.
