all of which were contributing fators to their sick feeling- and were probably the main reason the person got sick at all.
That's all I'm trying to say.
What concerns me is the fact that using the term whitey'd just makes it seem as though it's POSSIBLE to overdose on marijuana- which is simply not true.
Now,
I know when to admit I am wrong. Marijuana users can make themselves sick sometimes.
But marijuana treats nausea, and is not normally the cause of it unless YOU MAKE YOURSELF SICK- not the marijuana you were smoking, but the things you were doing- whatsoever- & you just chose to smoke at the wrong time. It's like forcing yourself to smoke when you have a hangover & aren't feeling well- it will probably make you puke.
It just seems like these stories are bringing about another "Reefer Madness" era, where misconceptions are used to perpetuate an unjust drug war...
I actually started writing a book about removing marijuana from the narcotics 1 list... and frankly, I've done a lot of research on the subject of illegal drugs in general, not just marijuana.
I've seen plenty of people whitey before, people who take care of themselves, but smoke weed, and only weed.
I know people who won't touch a cigarette, or alcohol, but smoke plenty of weed, and they have whitey'd before. They feel sick, turn pale, clammy, sometimes they're physically sick, get a banging headache, then feel exhausted afterwords.
Some people do react badly to it, theres good and bad to every drug, weed unfortunately isn't perfect.
And The One Who's point (I believe anyway) is right. You cannot compare medical weed to the stuff sold on the street. Its grown differently, in varying strengths and one is tampered with and the other isn't.
