What stopped you from calling 911? Paramedics are not cops, and they deal with drug-induced medical situations all the time very discreetly. You are very lucky your acquaintance didn't die. And don't kid yourself that it was your skilled application of CPR that did that.
Situations like that one are what fire-rescue teams are there for. They have the equipment and the training to take care of airway-breathing-circulation emergencies and to get aspirated vomit out of the way. It sounds like you came on here, enjoying recounting the night's high dramas and hoping to be congratulated for your heroics. What you're getting, far more rightly, is chastisement for not having been more responsible (assuming this is a factually true story, which I have my doubts about. It's told in far too deliberately narrative and storylike a fashion for me not to be suspicious.).
In the future, call 911. And if you're dealing with people who're apt to get into trouble with recreational substances, also keep this link handy, you and everyone else, and enter this number into your cell phones:

Actually, no. I was just sharing an "experience" in hope for any possible answers as to why that happened to her. I KNOW that we should have called paramedics, and been more responsible. Trust me, I know. As far as the story goes, thats how I remember the night. Thanks for your advice though.Quote:

No problem whatsoever.
Good thing you saved her man. Like everyone else said you should called 911. This is why you shouldn't mix drugs unless you are experienced! Even then it can be dangerous....
hey man i give you props cuz it does sound like you might of saved her life but i would of called the paramedics right fuckin then when she died the first time lol.
Sounds like typical drunk behavior to me. I have had a couple friends go to the hospital because people panicked and the Dr could tell right away that they were drunk and just needed to sober up. People can throw up when they are passed out but as long as they are breathing they will be fine. I suppose a small woman could OD on booze, so if she really wasn't breathing (hard to tell sometimes) you may have saved her life.
i would have crapped my pants and freaked out if my friend started dying
then try some cpr or some thing
While .3g of said substance doesnt seem that substantial, it can be too much. For some one with any kind of heart problems, the mixture of the white devil and alcohol can be very dangerous. Firstly, that mixture creates cocaethylene, which in turn makes your heart rate higher then it would be if you had just done the white devil alone.
Now with your super revved up heart you add cannabis, which also increases your heartrate.
So you have .3g of garbage poison (that's A LOT of powder to put in your nose in one sitting) constantly being absorbed not allowing her heart to calm down.
You did save her life and no it was not evil spirits, it was just reckless teenage behavior without thinking of the consequences. It happens.
