Can a user have a bad reaction to using marijuana?
Yes. Some users, especially someone new to the drug or in a strange setting, may suffer acute anxiety and have paranoid thoughts. This is more likely to happen with high doses of THC. These scary feelings will fade as the drug’s effects wear off. In rare cases, a user who has taken a very high dose of the drug can have severe psychotic symptoms and need emergency medical treatment. SOther kinds of bad reactions can occur when marijuana is mixed with other drugs, such as PCP or cocaine.
