Is It Dangerous To Smoke Weed As Fast As Possible?

My husband has been smoking weed for years. He recently started doing something really stupid and has passed out. He will breath in and out as fast as he can and then hit the joint and stand up. He has had7 stitches 2 weeks ago and fell the other day. Besides falling, how dangerous is this? I think it's plain old dumb .

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Weed contain cannabis. It lead to multiple psychological effects in users like: stress, anxiety, depression and psychosis (cannabis psychosis). Breath in and out as fast as he can and then hit the joint and stand up, such behavior can occur due to cannabis psychosis.

For long term control of behavior issues following measures are helpful: stop weed use, relaxation exercise and medicines like antipsychotics for behaviour control. It is better to get evaluated by psychiatrist and start treatment accordingly.

Wishing you good health and all the best.
