    How much is too much? My wife and I smoke a joint at night 7 days a week for the past year. Is that too much?

      I smoked daily for 20 years and just 3 months ago I came down with this. Felt like food poisoning but my wife ate the same stuff as me and she never got sick.

      Can confirm I scromitted, although any time I have thrown up in the past I also was quite loud.

          Actually ended up going to the ER after 2 days. The nurse there thought that is what might have been happening. I don’t think there is an official diagnosis.

          My wife ate the same stuff as me and she was fine so I don’t think it was good poisoning

          Don’t know what to tell ya. This is what happened. I have quit now for 6 months. Can’t say I am any happier now that I have stopped smoking, but I have a 6 week old daughter now and I have decided to stay off for her.

    I was hospitalized with a similar condition called Canabanoidosis. Nearly died. Took 8 iv bags, other medicine, and 3 days of bedrest to survive. Ironically, its chronic. So no more of beelzabubs broccoli for me. The ratio of thc to blood in my blood was so wack that my blood became too acidic. Spasming and vomiting in response to water even touching my mouth. Very nearly died.

      Forgive me for asking, but… how?? The LD50 for cannabis is 980 mg/kg. For an adult weighing 180 lbs / 81 kgs, that would require nearly 79.38g of straight THC to the veins.

      I mean, that’s the LD50 for THC. But for it to actually change your blood acidity, you must have had to take an insane amount. Was it an industrial exposure?

        Well, I had been smoking almost all day every day for a decade, the last year I was hitting dab at least 3 times per day. The weekend of the incident, i ate an early breakfast, drove for 6 hours, then went backcountry camping with what I thought was enough food/water (I was wrong) and a too much thc. Went all day with very little food/water, hitting a 2g vape every few minutes and walked around 17 miles. Then my friend drove us the 6 hour drive home, about an hour later I got a ride to the hospital, I usually drive myself to the hospital but I could barely move. I dont mess with that stuff or anything else anymore. Being clean feels better anyway.
