THC doesn’t make you sick
You can get headaches, anxiety, and a variety of other undesirable effects. Some of us would also lose our jobs if we consumed this so whoever did this is a dickwad.
Or go to prison.
I mean, it can.
Someone not used to it, taking a high dose can end up with nausea, vomiting, etc.
Even long term potheads can have bad results with too high a dose. Then there's rare reactions, allergies, etc.
Smoked every day and had some edibles with a friend. After it kicked in, it took about half an hour before we were way too high, went inside and were knocked out. For a random person experiencing that without knowing what they'd taken, they'd definitely think something was wrong. Maybe panic time instead of chilling on the couch and sleeping it off.
Even just a panicked 911 call followed by a huge bill you aren't insured against. What a disaster that could be for someone.
For someone inexperienced, even a "normal" dose can make you sick. A 10mg gummy made me so nauseated I vomited before I could make it to the toilet.
Or if you decide to take other drugs that night. You don't want to mix alcohol with THC for example.
Except for when you do.
THC is not toxic and has no fatal dose. You can do whatever to want with it.
Where did I mention toxicity or a fatal dose of THC?
No need to be combative over some random comment dude.
No need to tell a random dude what he should or shouldn't do. :p
Did you cross your arms, fall to the floor, and yell “no” as you typed that?
Who hurt you so much?
Yeah you’re getting a block. Grow up.

My very experience at university. Projectile vomit all over the place.
I'm a moderate smoker and the first time i ever had some miami yayo in cart form with live resin and diamonds (no idea if this is marketing gimmicks but w/e) I had a massive anxiety rush. Obviously I knew how to handle it but fuck me, someone's first time would have been miserable.
you should always know and consent to what you're putting in your body
I never said otherwise
That's like saying rollercoasters can't make you sick. It's not gonna give you a cold but it can make you lightheaded and/or nauseous.
It definitely can, especially in a large dose for a person with no existing tolerance
I take medication that would absolutely make me sick if I smoked or ingested weed. And I know this because I read the interactions list, rolled my eyes, tried it anyway, and surprise!
It can certainly make you feel sick if you have no tolerance for it and take a big dose. Especially in edible form. You can get the same kind of "sick" like being too drunk off weed. Even as a daily smoker for years, the first time I tried wax I got the spins hella bad.
Obviously it can.
It actually can cause bad nausea, headaches, and panic attacks. One of my students got cannabis induced psychosis and was locked in a psych facility until he became strange again.
Most of these things, paranoia aside, are not common but they do affect some.
