Is Paranoia Normal After Smoking Shisha?

I just smoked shisha and had a rather terrifying outer-body experience, aware that the tobacco was the source of my paranoia, but also scared that I was genuinely losing my mind. Minutes felt like hours. I feel fine now, but is that kind of experience common?
