THC doesn’t make you sick

It actually can cause bad nausea, headaches, and panic attacks. One of my students got cannabis induced psychosis and was locked in a psych facility until he became strange again.

Most of these things, paranoia aside, are not common but they do affect some.

It can certainly make you feel sick if you have no tolerance for it and take a big dose. Especially in edible form. You can get the same kind of “sick” like being too drunk off weed. Even as a daily smoker for years, the first time I tried wax I got the spins hella bad.

I take medication that would absolutely make me sick if I smoked or ingested weed. And I know this because I read the interactions list, rolled my eyes, tried it anyway, and surprise!

That’s like saying rollercoasters can’t make you sick. It’s not gonna give you a cold but it can make you lightheaded and/or nauseous.

I mean, it can.

Someone not used to it, taking a high dose can end up with nausea, vomiting, etc.

Even long term potheads can have bad results with too high a dose. Then there’s rare reactions, allergies, etc.

I’m a moderate smoker and the first time i ever had some miami yayo in cart form with live resin and diamonds (no idea if this is marketing gimmicks but w/e) I had a massive anxiety rush. Obviously I knew how to handle it but fuck me, someone’s first time would have been miserable.

Or if you decide to take other drugs that night. You don’t want to mix alcohol with THC for example.

THC is not toxic and has no fatal dose. You can do whatever to want with it.

For someone inexperienced, even a “normal” dose can make you sick. A 10mg gummy made me so nauseated I vomited before I could make it to the toilet.

Smoked every day and had some edibles with a friend. After it kicked in, it took about half an hour before we were way too high, went inside and were knocked out. For a random person experiencing that without knowing what they’d taken, they’d definitely think something was wrong. Maybe panic time instead of chilling on the couch and sleeping it off.

Even just a panicked 911 call followed by a huge bill you aren’t insured against. What a disaster that could be for someone.

You can get headaches, anxiety, and a variety of other undesirable effects. Some of us would also lose our jobs if we consumed this so whoever did this is a dickwad.

I further object to the company telling people to throw out the weed pizza. Who in their right mind would turn down free weed? Especially given that this literally never happens ever? This is a once in a lifetime miracle.

If you don’t like the effects of THC, give it to your stoner neighbor. Or the homeless guy down the block. He would really appreciate a free weed pizza.

So sick and tired of seeing food waste. This article disgusts me.

You’re trolling, right? You don’t seriously still believe that lie? Weed has been proven time and time again to be no more addicting than caffeine.

Nobody knows the dosage in the pizza for sure since it was a cooking accident that it was dosed with THC to begin with. You don’t really measure olive oil when you cook with it, plus the distribution wouldn’t be even, so even if you do make a guess based on about how much oil you used and the concentration of the THC in the oil, it might have simply pooled more on one side of the pan if they used it as a non-stick coating, or just based on how it mixed into the dough if they mix in olive oil normally.

With the quantities involved it’s just impossible to reliably guess the dosage that any affected product might have, and with any kind of drug, recreational or not, the dosage absolutely matters a ton.

Meh; even if there was 1000+ mg of pure THC per slice, I’m still not worried cause it is impossible to overdose. That said, I can see how someone who isn’t familiar with the effects could freak out and check themselves into a hospital if they didn’t realize what happened. But even then they’ll be fine after they sleep it off. They’ll get a good chuckle from the doctor and be sent on their way. No harm, no foul.

I mean, this isn’t alcohol or fent were talking about, here. It’s weed, and I’m sick of people acting like it’s dangerous. Drink too much coffee and you’ll have a heart attack. Pop 30 aspirin and that’ll be your last headache. Consume too much THC—even more than any reasonable person would ever take—and you’ll get horny, hungry, and sleepy. And maybe some paranoia if you’re prone to anxiety like I am but again, you’ll be fine by tomorrow. It’s not a big deal.

No. Anarchy is the opposite of hierarchy.

That’s how anarchy has been portrayed by propaganda media since time immemorial because it scares those in power.

Anarchy means without hierarchy. That’s it. Rules can still be agreed upon. It just means there isn’t one person, or group of elites, setting and enforcing the rules, but that they’re agreed upon by consensus.

Just like hierarchical systems, there are many different variations of anarchy. Very few, if any, serious forms call for chaos and everything goes.

Why? Because it would just lead straight back to Might is Right. “I’m bigger, stronger, more powerful than you, so I’ll make you do as I wish” isn’t a part of anarchist theory.

Anarchism, despite seeming a simple concept on paper, is a difficult and complicated idea. Not because of the core principles but because humans and human behaviour are weird and hypocritical at times.
