The state of experiencing overwhelming psychological or physical effects after consuming cannabis, particularly tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), is a temporary condition where individuals report feelings of anxiety, paranoia, nausea, or disorientation. For example, an individual who ingests a higher dose of cannabis than they are accustomed to may experience this set of symptoms.
Understanding the signs and symptoms associated with this condition is crucial for responsible cannabis consumption and for providing appropriate support to those experiencing its effects. Recognizing dosage sensitivities and individual tolerance levels are important preventative measures. Historically, anecdotal reports and evolving research have contributed to a growing awareness and understanding of this state, leading to more informed consumption practices.
