Sounds like she is suffering from cannabis psychosis- my advice would be to get her to the doctor and tell them exactly what happened.

Marijuana is generally a safe drug but when ingested in quantity the effects can be unpredictable to say the least.

edited to say: cannabis is not easily "flushed" from the body in a similar way to other drugs.

wwsd - never one to worry unnecessarily!

edited to say:

Shes probably just a wuss and its probably just shocked her system - take her to the doctors or A&E if its really bad - try NHS direct first!

chaos.

I doubt its the scunk that caused this. The effects usually ware off in 3 or 4 hours. Sounds like the spliff or cake were laced to give an extra kick weed dont make you forget things or people..

Hi,

before anybody rants on about misuse of drugs please put that to the side and try and put somehting on here which'll be of some use.

A group of friends and me went on a trip to Amsterdam. My friend had some 'space-cake' from one of the cofee shops as did I, a short while later she had three quarters of an average size spliff. I know that was stupid, particularly as the hit froma space cake can take a while.

An hour or so later my mate went weak all of a sudden and she had to be carried back to the hotel. The bar owner suggested some water with sugar to revitalise her sugar levels but she refused this. SInce then (about two days ago) she's had a lot of sleep, not drunk much and keeps acting delerious, ie. asking what happened, if things are real, who I am etc etc. Occasionally she'll seem fine. She seems to be more responsive than she was a day or so ago but now she's home is there anything more we can do ???

I purchased a tablet (can't remember the name) which claims to flush out all toxins from the body - it had all the ingrediesnts etc. and was blister packed and I made sure it wasn't yet another weird tab. The dosage was 3 x 2 tablets but as I was unsure I only gave her one.

I'm in need of help as we're all worried about her but I don't know the first thing about this. Is it worth taking her to the doctor or do we just let nature do her business and flush all the crap out from her system itself ?

Me and my mates will definately consider this alesson learnt but right now we're all stressing !!!


HELP !!!!

Thanks, Jai

Difficult call - i suppose the safest thing would be to take her to a doctor but the risks are that:

1) The Doc may have a sh*te attitude to this sort of thing
2) There may be not much that they can do anyway, and the experience may be stressful for your friend, bearing in mind her condition

I've seen people pretty messed up for 48 hours and then gradually get back to normal. Canabis does not have any toxic effects in these sort of quantities so it could be she just needs a bit of time to get her head together.

Go the doctors with her dont put it off. Tell him exactly what she had, dont delay. Youve nothing to worry about, but you may have if you dont go.

Take her to the doctors.

It does seem that your friend has had a somewhat severe reaction, so there may be other things up with her that need to be investigated.

There is no crime in this country of getting stoned in another country.

what would scooby do

Some negative affects :- was she stable mentally before taking it?

nausea, especially in combination with alcohol, some pharmaceuticals, or other psychoactives
coughing, asthma, upper respiratory problems
difficulty with short term memory during effects and during periods of frequent use
racing heart, agitation, feeling tense
mild to severe anxiety
panic attacks in sensitive users or with very high doses (oral use increases risk of getting too much)
headaches
dizziness, confusion
paranoid & anxious thoughts more frequent
possible psychological dependence on cannabis
clumsiness, loss of coordination at high doses
can precipitate or exacerbate latent or existing mental disorders

Search Google for some drugs help lines and I am sure they will be able to give you some advice or at least point you in the right direction.

If in doubt, seek medical help ASAP.

I hope this helps. I have no experience in these matters.

Spoon

That bit's normal feminine behaviour, for the rest, especially the not drinking a lot, take her to her doctors.

what would scooby do

Scooby96 - they are the medical facts re overdosage, I could past up the article from Lancet - but it would send you all to sleep (which is a coincidence LOL)

Hello

Just make sure that she is aware you are taking her to the doctor's. It will stay on her record that she is brought in for some drug related problem.

End of her career opportunities in the government and secret service (not a joke).

Doctor ASAP M8, in very rare cases cannabis can bring on severe depression or even mental dissorders... if symptoms are persisting u need to take action now!

best of luck

Sometimes the effects of cannabis psychosis carry on for a very long time.......if not permanantly.

I'd advise getting advice ASAP.

BTW I'm not anti-cannabis in anyway, I'm just a realist.

Scooby96

Unless the person accompanying her says someone gave her a cake but didnt tell her what was in it and she unwittingly smoked almost a whole spliff (worth a try at least!)

unclebuck

Sounds like good stuff What was the address again?

Ok.... What was the spliff made from??? was it some fancy skunk??? If it was hash...ask the person who rolled it if they remember anything funny about the way it Burnt when he was building the thing..

many years ago the a mate of mine had some hash and it nocked him for six..big time. Lucky he still had some left. When we looked at it ..it was full of tiny white crystals....Someone had been adding some chemicals to the hash...wasnt nice. Bit of a bad trip..


Also what was the hashcake like ????? was it a normal high or was the thing loaded to the max???? If she has eaten a shed load of the stuff... could be that.

Trouble is on this...... whats the best thing to do???? Can a doctor be called..will it affect her future as mentioned..will they care!!

But maybe you need some very good advice far more than I or most here could give. Dope has caused major problems before....its not a foolproof drug.


whatever...she needs friends.

FiveO

The dudes on www.overgrow.com could probably help.

wakeboardar

she is still stoned eating the stuff last A HELL OF LONG TIME she will be fine in a few days

Buckrogers

If you don't take her to the doctors:
Drinking LOTS of water will help. (A natural way of flushing toxins from the body.)

Orange juice will also help, as it is replacing the Vitamin C that has been lost thru drug use.

workshy_fopp

What's a doctor going to do, they're feckin useless at the best of times. Sounds like she's just sleeping it off and doesn't know what being hugely stoned is supposed to feel like. It will take a couple of days to wear off.
As said before Vitamin C will straighten you up and sugar will help you recover from a "whitey". Although it's a bit late for that now.

Poor Guy

my mate did this. he was ****ed for days. he got over it a week l8r cos us young uns is 'ard!.

Hi !

thanks for all your help - latest :

went to the doc's - waste of time. He says she needs to flush it out, wait for a week and if she's the same bring her back ! w*nker !!!!! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

going to call NHS direct unless people can suggest any drug helplines which may be better ?

I had some of the space cake myself but had a trip for a bout half an hour and have since recovered - I've never smoked anything in my life and I had a whole slice - guess it affects different people in different ways !

please keep the suggestions coming in - it's a great help

jai

camk

eating it lasts much longer than smoking. Dr ain't going to be able to do much now, bed rest , fluids etc

one last thing - cuz I'm new to this I'm not too sure if space cake had marijuana or cannabis ?

I've got no idea about this kinda stuff !

Sure she will be fine given a bit of time to flush the stuff out of her sytem mate. May call everyone 'man' for a few weeks mind .

Guy I know called a Dutch ambulance there and immediately jumped in the back when it arrviedle. Paramedics told him the condition was called 'stoned' and that they could do nowt and had better things to do and would he get out of the ambulance. Bugger was so freaked out he wouldnt budge and strapped himself in! SOoooooooooo funny looking backl at it now.

Also had to walk a Drug Squad officer around Amsterdam holding his hand! He explained clearly to me what was going on (he knew from his training...) but that he still needed my hand - the big 17st 6'4" lump!

Not my tickle grass

bigsinky
