Fainted on MJ edibles (in a bad place!)

Went to a reggae show last night [full disclosure : did have an edible] and neglected the hydration. Didn't realize I was only at about 15ozs for the day til it was too late. Was feelin alright (irie, if you will) and next thing you know... I'm lookin at feet. Fainted at the front of the crowd of 2000 people luckily with my wife guiding me to the floor. She got me up and we started heading for the outside... to the floor again. 4 times total I woke up looking up to concerned faces. This hasn't happened to me before although I do get dizzy daily when going from a squatting to standing position (as part of my job). I've had to stop and lean to clear out the webs, but never was it out of my control like last night.

Has anyone else had this from MJ edibles? Or do you think it was solely the dehydration?? It was my 2nd edible since VSG. I no longer drink so this was my last hope for an occasional chill time. :54_hushed:

Please visit your primary doctor soon it may not be about the edibles at all since it happens when you squat and stand. Happy 420!!!

That's more than likely just the dehydration... or the combination of dehydration and a bit of low blood pressure caused by the edible. Any idea how what the potency of what you ingested was? Still would have to chalk it up to dehydration...

Edibles! They cause all kinds of problems 🤢!

All legal here in Oregon. In the hospital where I work we see people all the time that OD on edibles. It is hard to know how much THC you are getting. I'm not sure how much WLS effects THC absorption.

What happened to you sounds more like dehydration.

But still, be careful with them edibles dude!

the last time i had an edible it really messed me up, made me dizzy and everything. classic case of “this isn’t working so i’m going to eat more” and it all kicked in times 100 an hour later. i ended up being fine but i was think it was prob cause i was hydrated/ at home. i think something even like the environment of being a crowd could have something to do with it. I wouldn’t worry about it though. potency prob just hit you harder than you expected with your smaller stomach + dehydrated

I get a do-over tomorrow night (another reggae show) but I think I'll be skipping any form of altered state and sticking to my usual Water (just in case). I'd like to remember everything this go-round. Lol. Haven't touched anything since.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
