I’ve never been a big user, but as I’ve grown older, pot has made me pass out more than once. I took a drag off of a joint at a festival a few years ago and passed out and couldn’t be revived for 5-10 minutes. They said my blood pressure dropped dramatically. I’m wondering if this happens to anybody else

Never used it myself, but my mother has told me when she was much younger she tried pot a few times and stopped because it just put her to sleep, and this was well before the strong strains we have today.

That's.... the exact lie I told my kids.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I mean, it puts me to sleep so not really a lie

[–] Starayo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not a lie, have a good relationship with my mum. Still holds true when she had some in Amsterdam again recently. 😅

Quit downvoting this, yeesh people. Absolutely nothing wrong with this comment, it's probably true, and it's completely reasonable. And I've smoked plenty of weed in my time.

[–] theKalash@feddit.ch 4 points 1 year ago

it’s probably true

what? marijuana making people sleepy? That's unheard of.

I have the same reaction. Weed makes me sleepy, and the only good thing about it is some of the wildest vivid dreams I had happened right after smoking it.

If your tolerance is zero then it will make you sleepy no matter the strength.

[–] Starayo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Was far more than just sleepy. She'd zonk out immediately.
