Is Persistent Lethargy And Impaired Sense Of Touch Normal After Smoking Marijuana?

21 yo male. I smoked a small amount of marijuana 48 hours ago, and am still feeling strange effects. I find my thinking has cleared up, but am still experiencing a "body high" in that my movements seem out of sync with thoughts, and my sense of touch is somewhat altered. I am not a regular user, but have taken marijuana before without after-effects like this. I am wondering if this is something that is typical and will just go away, or if it might be coincidence and need action.

it is possible that the marijuana was adulterated. Most likely you are just having a strong reaction to it. It may have a higher THC content than what you previously had. These effects should wear off. Give it another day or two, and then, when you are feeling back to normal, refrain from future use and you will avoid those negative feelings henceforth.
