Can Smoking Synthetic Marijuana Cause Vomiting?

default
Posted on Wed, 17 Aug 2016
Question: Although illegal I was hitting a bowl of marijuana at a friends house about an hour ago and the resin from the bowl came out and into my mouth and I think I swallowed some. I ended up throwing up twice right after it happened and now worried, is this bad?

Thanks

Hello, and thanks for your question.

This is not dangerous. You likely vomited because the charred resin is irritating to the esophageal and stomach lining. However, there are no permanently dangerous chemicals that pose any threat of real harm to you in marijuana resin. You may have some nausea for the next 24 hours or so, but then this will go away.
