Mostly noobs having panic attacks. I'm well seasoned but the first time I tried edibles, I had a full blown panic attack. I'm no stranger with panic disorder, once it was handled...:thumbsup: I never went back.
I also have to wonder how many of these had other drugs or alcohol involved.
Keep trying. It's kind of exhilarating in the beginning. Just try to get it in check before you hear the helicopters coming with the men in black who will jump out onto your roof and you omg have a HEART ATTACK and a SEIZURE. It's all downhill from there until the IV benzos in the ER kick in.Quote:

3. Lies, lies, lies. If you report that you use THC and you have some unrelated condition, idiot doctors will blame it on the cannabis even if it's unrelated.
4. Some of those visits are for real side effects...but certainly not all of them.
Somehow, I think this thread has one it ought to be linked to:
The majority of people go to the ER with a 'racing heart' and they think they have gotten laced mmj! I would bet 98%! Since, I saw a lot of them and not one was for any other reason. However, there are threads in here of some really odd ordeals some have endured and remained calm and smart enough to know what they were using and how to handle the situation!
I'm sure this will link to a medical thread that will give you tons of info, from all the medical community here! Hope so! We'll see!! :thumbsup:
I wonder what would happen if everybody came out and said they smoke weed and make it well known, even the famous people, let the media bombbard us every week so that non smokers might at some time come to understand that here all these people that we know, and we know there sain, and they smoke weed, like the people who live around you, and know you to be a smart, wise, hardworking joe, then mabey just mabey we will be able to start changing peoples mind. You know like, they could say you meen that nice guy across the street who keeps his yard real nice, who have good kids, a good job ect...you meen he smokes weed, wow he seems cool to me.
ALL EMERGENCY ROOM PATIENTS get a blood test... go figure... the only thing this confirms to me is the widespread use of cannabis...
I for one have been to emergency room after a severe anxiety attack with very similar signs to heart attack (that was the first time in 9 years of smoking i got an anxiety attack right after smokin bud and thnx to all the hype about risk of heart attack after smoking in the media i was fooled for it and plus i was alone by myself without any1 to contact but 911... didnt dare dying behind the wheel myself)
sadly i contributed to this stats in the US :( but u gotta understand how it is when u r overweight and u have smoked for a quite a long time and all of a sudden your heart is beating @ 200 bpm and u get massive chest pain + sweatin etc... had i known people get like this cuz of mj, i would have just relaxed as i learned to do afterwards whenever this happened again
also, i was given morphine in the ambulance to calm me down or something and the dumbass doctor came and said "u r healthy as a horse, your weed has most likely been laced with morphine!!!!!" hahaha i was like no way dude, i heard it in ambulance when they said give him some morphine! and plus what idiot would waste their morphine to lace some weed lol
Please do not be of the opinion that you must take a blood test if the Dr. ordered it. You have the right to refuse the blood test, it is not mandatory, because it is like buying a loaf of bread. You may need it, but you don't have to buy it! Pr
