Steph and Derek decided to smoke some pot today - Steph had a bad reaction to it.
In part she had a anxiety attack totally enhanced by POT. At least she is alive.
Reactions to weed can be both positive and negative, including euphoria, relaxation, and altered senses, alongside potential anxiety, paranoia, impaired memory, and increased heart rate. Other common physical reactions include red eyes, dry mouth, and increased appetite. The specific effects depend on factors like the person's mindset, the environment, the product's potency (especially THC content), and the amount and method of consumption.
