What Causes Numbness On The Left Side Of The Face Post Marijuana Intake?

Hey so I am new to weed and the first time I smoked it felt great until the left side of my face went numb. The second time I smoked I just had a great high. However the third time I got the same numbness on the lect side of my face. After that I took a couple weeks off it and the first time I smoked from the break the left side of my face went numb. Could I have smoked to much? Or too little? I know it wasn t laced because my friends all smoked it also and had none of the symptoms as I did. Why do these symptoms seem to happen when I smoke?

Hi,

Mostly side effects of marijuana are psychological in nature. It does affect heart activities sometimes may lead to a stroke.

The numbness you have could be due to the involvement of heart problem/simple spondylosis which is not connected with marijuana.

You should get your heart checked by a cardiac specialist to exclude drug affecting heart stop taking marijuana till then.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
