Cannabis intoxication symptoms

Inexperienced users or individuals who are exposed to the drug unexpectedly (e.g., who unknowingly consume PCP-adulterated cannabis) may develop severe anxiety and panic because of the intensity and variety of symptoms. Perceptual distortions have sometimes led to extremely violent behavior, accidents, or self-damaging acts. An especially high risk of violent behavior has been reported in acutely intoxicated PCP users who have a history of psychiatric problems. Intoxication with doses in excess of 150 mg may lead to convulsions, coma, and death from respiratory arrest. Other complications include hypertensive crisis, intracerebral hemorrhage, and renal failure (Table 6-5). [Pg.232]
