People get anxious, and in bad cases have full blown panic attacks when they consume too much THC. Heart rate shoots up and people get the sweats when having an episode. It&#x27;s enough to convince people they&#x27;re about to die and need medical help.<p>Really, it&#x27;s just a bad trip. Nobody has died from marijuana overdose, but it can cause emotional distress, especially with high doses that are easily accidentally consumable with edibles. Vomiting it out (often happens unavoidably) and hydrating is the best cure. Then sleeping it off.<p>It&#x27;s good to remind the person having the panic attack that they&#x27;re under the influence of drugs and that it will pass. In the heat of anxiety, they may forget what&#x27;s actually causing them panic. This is pretty standard for other party drugs that can cause bad trips.<p>I know many people that have sworn off weed because of feelings of anxiety. It&#x27;s not for everybody.<p>Source: stoner and friends with many stoners for 15 years.

This article is all over the place.<p>I wanted to see the data that supported the idea that &quot;Among children ages 11 to 14, girls had a particularly striking rise: a 111% average increase from 2019 to 2022&quot;.<p>They link to an NBC News article in that sentence.<p>Problem is, the only mention of girls and marijuana use I can find at that article says:<p>&gt; Only 16% [of girls surveyed] said they currently use marijuana, compared with 23% in 2011.<p>The survey is CDC&#x27;s 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, presumably conducted in 2021.<p>With that in mind, how does the math of &quot;111% average increase from 2019 to 2022&quot; work? My assumption is that the data for 2019 to 2022 shows it, but where&#x27;s that data?

I can not believe legal THC gummies are allowed to taste like candy.<p>Current state is like if whiskey had the drinkability of Sprite. People would be fucking dead left and right.<p>Weed consumables should taste * bad *. They should taste like you&#x27;re ingesting a powerful dissociative hallucinogen. Eating more than three should be actually gross and weird.

What is “Toxic level.” What is “poisoning.” What are the risks and long term consequences?

We realized that sweet flavoring and nicotine together were a bad idea and banned the combination. Why did nobody realize the same about THC?
