Cannabis Health & Safety

What should I do if I’ve consumed too much cannabis?

Seek immediate medical attention if you’re experiencing chest pain, panic attacks, loss of contact with reality or seizures or if your instincts tell you something serious is happening.

Consuming too much tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) can lead to unpleasant short-term effects, both physically and mentally, including anxiety, paranoia and panic. The good news is these effects, while uncomfortable, are temporary and will pass. 

While you wait, stay calm, hydrate, eat a snack and relax in a safe place. Distraction techniques such as listening to music or watching TV can also help. If you experience severe symptoms like chest pain, panic attacks or loss of contact with reality, seek immediate medical attention.
