What Causes Dizziness Post Marijuana Intake?

Sir, Im writing this after sick of my problem i heartily request you please do read it till last and please please revert. I am a guy from india and 24 Year male. Approx 10 Year ago when i was child one day i found marijuana somewhere by curosity I took it and as i was not knowing how to use it i opened the wrapper took out leaves and filled it in a old newspaper for making it use like a pot then i smoked it. As it starts affecting slowly i felt it is not affecting i took it in a large amount. After it I took a bath untill now i was better but after 10 Minutes my head was starting dizziness and I felt very strange I started run from here to there my mouth was so dried then people suggested me to drink water so after 4-5 Hours driness of my mouth gone.. But left with me a great drawback that my head has benn always whirling very slowly in same way when I used it. Many time I expalined it to my family but they never understood nor I ever have been some money to go for a reputed doctor who can understand my problem.. And gradually i made it a habit of my head dizziness..it always seeems im unable to stand properly for a long time.. Though In past 3 Years I studied hard despite thus disease and now i get a job now i thinking to consult a doctor because its been 10 Years but still i feel same as that day.. I m totally hopeless and always feared what is happening with me please help me sir.. I dont think such cases happened with anyone in india and research on this case only had happened in US Or some other country.. Please help..

hello,welcome to healthcaremagic.

first of all let me assure you that i understand your concern. and i want to tell you that your dizziness is NOT at all associated with your 1 time marijuana intake.

marijuana intake acute effects last for max 8-10 hours.. and chronic effects for few months.

so kindly get it clear off your mind that your 1 time intake did this.

secondly, your dizziness indicated you have some underlying condition.
it can be an inner ear problem or your brain problem or your heart problem.

for this you need to visit an ENT surgeon or a neurologist for detailed evaluation of your condition.

also this could be due to dehydration. so drink plenty of fluids and stay hydrated.

DO NOT worry as it has nothing to do with your marijuana intake.

hope this helps.
thank you
