DOSE:
0.25 g smoked Cannabis
BODY WEIGHT: 160 lb
So I was finally convinced to try marijuana. My buddy comes over with his pipe. We begin to smoke. About 45 minutes after smoking (about 3 bowls) I begin to feel a tingling line accross my forehead. At first I think that is it a normal effect of weed. However, it was rather annoying than anything interesting. So I touch it, thinking it might go away. Then, I hear a squirt in my head, as if a blood vessel burst. For the remained of the night, it feels as if blood is running down the inside of my face.

Now, I know what you are all thinking. NO WAY THAT WAS WEED. Well believe me, it was. And it was not laced with anything. And I do not do any other drugs, so it wasn't some hallucinogen, and no I am not fried in any way. I am not yet sure whether something really did burst or pop, or whether it was just a panick attack. However, I am pretty sure it was real. This is because I have recently tried wormwood tea, which has thujone, and I began to feel the same thing happening.

I have never heard of any other reports like this. And quite frankly, it's terrifying to think that weed might cause a major vein to burst in my forehead. Due to this, I am done with marijuana.
