He said he took very little but he donot know what was happening to him or around him for 2 hours and he donot even remember if he was dead or alive. When he came out of it, he literally shivered with the experience thinking about his family as he is only bread earner of his family and has two small kids. That's what Marjiuana can do to one person.
It is not an health issue but life ruin issue if not careful.
Edit: ofcourse i heard similar stories and some more people but not all are pleasant.
I consume marijuana. Most of what I have is purchased from Denver, Colorado. I know many people who consume marijuana. No one I know has experienced any trauma or health issues from it. Dude, I know doctors who smoke weed.
One of the challenges with prohibition is that the illegal market is unregulated. When you purchase weed where it is legal, the packaging has good instructions. Edibles come in 10 mg doses and tell first-time users to start slowly. Loose leaf and vapes tell you how potent the contents are so you know how much to smoke.
When you buy weed illegally so much depends on finding a reputable and safe dealer. Many people harvest ditch weeds that can vary wildly in potency. Unregulated crops also may use unsafe pesticides that are not cleaned off properly. So people can get wildly different reactions.
And what is very little? It is highly unlikely that a puff or few of even highly potent weed will cause that reaction. But a hit from a gravity bong or a dab can be too much for a beginner. A lot of edibles too can be potent when they hit.
What your friend describes is the shakes which is a harmless but definitely terrifying side effect. It usually comes from too high of a dose or mixing it with other factors like prescription medication, alcohol, other stimulants etc. I have gotten the shakes once and it was when I paired shots with a highly potent gummy. Since the gummy was not legal I didn't know how potent it was. People wary of these symptoms should definitely avoid weed. The good news is that the shakes for how scary they are don't cause any health damage or lead to death. You just safely sleep it off.
If you're buying from a legal store you can ask all kinds of questions as a beginner. If you have a reputable dealer, they can usually also talk about potency and recommended dosing. If you are in the USA just talk to your doctor about reactions to prescription medication. HIPAA prevents them from disclosing your drug use. This is why weed should be legalized. So that all kinds of side effects can be studied and consumers can be educated about.
