Interesting onset of pain and symptoms so soon after consuming a marijuana lollypop.

FTFY

I think I would need to see a lot more data before contributing MJ use to this. Maybe it was a coincidence, otherwise there are several states where people are dropping like flies. OTOH, MJ induced hyperemesis is a real thing and we are seeing a lot more of it. Not much to do because the patients don't want to believe their miracle cure herb would turn on them and make them so sick. So they come in, we plump them up over a few days and they discharge and start smoking again only to return to get plumped up again. It's a circle.

Doesn't that sound like digitalis poisoning?

Talk to your healthcare provider before you take any herbal supplements. Some herbal supplements contain substances that act like digoxin and can cause toxicity.

I get a little suspicious of these "herbal, natural" supplements every once in a while.   Seems like if there's a rumor that Bsgzgle Root can cure jldkyhhjitis, they'll add it to their formulations (or MJ lollipops)  just because.

You know, if it's "natural," it must be OK.  Right?

Like mushrooms.

Now, I do use herbal supplements; there are a few of them I have found to be "good" and "effective" for me, but it's getting harder and harder to find some things which don't have the aforementioned Bsgzgle Root added in just because, if you get my point.

What if you are paranoid and are imagining chest pains?

Just because you are paranoid does not mean your heart is not trying to kill you.
