THC (the active agent in cannabis) causes a drop in blood sugar levels when it enters the bloodstream. In most people this doesn’t cause unpleasant / noticeable effects. But in people who have a tendency to low blood sugar, or have other medical issues related to their blood sugar, it can cause hypoglycemia – very low blood sugar levels. It is also more likely if you are already tired, or haven’t eaten for a while, or slept well etc., All of these factors can help lead to lower blood sugar levels. The symptoms are like you described – weakness, blurred vision, nausea, dizziness, total loss of consciousness. Sudden drops in blood sugar levels can be very serious – in worst cases it can even lead to coma. I would suggest that you get your blood sugar levels checked by your doctor, and also get the docotor to check you out for diabetes, a condition where people have difficulty controlling their blood sugar levels. If this happens again, it is important to have some means to bring your blood sugar levels back up quickly eg, a teaspoon of sugar, a sweet soda, a piece of chocolate. I wouldn’t ignore this, if I were you, especially if it’s happened twice in close sucession. It is probably a sign of an underlying medical condition (eg diabetes). The sooner you get it checked the more you may be able to do about it.
Have you ever passed out/ blacked out from smoking weed?
