Is it normal to have a month long reaction to marijuana?

Ok, I had been smoking marijuana everyday for a year. And a month ago I had a bad reaction, my chest started hurting like someone was sitting on it, I had shortness of breath my hearing would go in and out. I actually passed out. And ever since that day I haven't been normal at all. I'm still having alot of chest pain and i'm not able to eat solid food without it coming back.
My chest pain comes and goes but it's there more often than it's not. I'm wondering if all this will stop after all the THC is out of my system or could there be another problem. I've been to the emergency room 3 times, and they cant give me a logical answer. Is anyone else going through this?

    Very doubtful this is a reaction to pot. If that were true, you would be getting better steadily since the last time you smoked. You haven't been smoking it since the problem started right? Most of thc is already out of your system by now. It sounds like you either have an illness or you're having anxiety attacks, but who knows. Make an appointment with your primary care doctor. You're not likely to get a diagnosis at an ER. The doctors there don't invest much time investigating complex health problems. Usually, they just check your vitals and send you on your way if you're not dying.

    Weed wouldn't do that to you. I've had a similar reaction myself. Whatever you smoked it was laced with something or stashed next to something that is not so friendly. Did you use a different dealer?

    Dude you probably have a deadly disease. Marijuana high lasts like an hour, and nothing bad happens for me

    you know when people promote doing weed as healthy they always seem to assume you're going to get pure uncut product.

    so yes even if the thc is out of your system if there was something else laced into it... that other stuff may be screwing you up.

    and of course there's another factor... you were a chronic user. that can affect your brain

        My drug-terminology might be off but you again assume that they are giving you pure weed to smoke.

        Just because your dealer says it's "pure stuff" doesn't mean they didn't put something else in it. Either another drug or just some crappy plants they found on the side of the road.

          i no longer smoke dope when i did i was a grower and a seller, and i can tell you it is not cost affective to lace (lace is the term you were looking for) marijuana with any drug unless one does it themselves,

          and pure is a term for high % manufactured substance's before they have been cut such as heroin, speed, cocaine..

          as for a random plant off the road marijuana is very distinctive no one would be silly enough to buy it if that were the case

          but i agree drugs are bad including marijuana angel albeit i use to sell and use it myself, but what your saying is a thought among many who dont use drugs and haven't been in the scene, for example speed in my country is 150 a gram , cocaine is 500 a gram , exstacy is 50 a pill, so to do that one would always loose money :)

          just for info i agree with you that its bad though :)

            You misunderstand...

            I don't mean "cutting" with other drugs. Or even using road-side marijuana.

            I literally mean... how do you know they didn't just grab a handful of plants without checking to see what they were, just to add "filler" to the pot.

            and by "roadside plants" i mean ... whatever you find. Maybe some sumac (poisonous), nightshade plants, poison ivy,....

            Don't forget, many pot sources are still from over the border. It may make people more money if they "fluff" their supply with crap.

            Also you may be assuming it was grown in a clean area. but if you're getting it from a place where they have to grow on the sly... who knows what other crap is there. and i don't mean things that are typical in a farm like birds or earthworms but... what fertilizer did they use? (i.e. human feces is used in some areas even though it taints the crops).

              once again marijuana is a very distinctive plant the look and the smell you smoke the buds and no other part of it the most they put in to "fluff"" it up would be the cabbage (the leaves of the marijuana plant)

              Don't forget, many pot sources are still from over the border. It may make people more money if they "fluff" their supply with crap.

              i woulnt know about that here in new zealand we grow our own marijuana but you can tell by , looking at it if someones one that an then you wouldnt buy it most people aren't this silly angel

              and i lolled at the human fecies i never used human fecies to grow rofl but maybe who knows but i think it would merely alter the taste

    You smoked something else other than weed and probably without knowing it.

      My mom has smoked weed like every day for about 20 years. Her only issue is that she forgets stuff, which is completely normal seeing as weed targets the hippocampus very often. She has a job, and she takes work very seriously. She's not some "dumb, lazy, stoner without a job." Stereotypes, stereotypes.

    Try getting natural and organic weed, weed is a medicine it is suppose to help, not make you feel worse.

      There are many different strains of marijuana in the world, so many that there are more being developed every day. Certain strains can, in fact, give you a bad trip or make you worse. On the other hand, there are, in fact, strains of marijuana that help you. It all depends on the strain; not all weed will help you.
