Whiteying
A term used to describe a state (commonly during cannibis smoking) where a person crosses the point of being pleasantly stoned and is overcome by sickness and a deep emotional downward spiral. The person becomes withdrawn, pale, shaky, and vomits, sometimes continuing to do so until they are only dry [wretching]. They may be unresponsive or unusually stubborn, refusing any offer of help and preferring to stay lying down or slouched in the vomitting positition until [the whitey] passes.

Some believe it is the result of smoking too much in too short a space of time, or of smoking on an empty stomach, or of having a low blood sugar level. -
