What are some of the potential side effects of consuming medical marijuana?

Paranoia, anxiety, and panic attacks can be associated with the over-consumption of cannabis, especially with edibles. If you have accidentally consumed too much, the best thing to do is remain calm. There has never been a death caused by an overdose of cannabis, but over-consumption can be very uncomfortable and scary. Drink some water, eat a snack, and take a nap. The negative effects will pass over time. If your child or pet consumes cannabis accidentally, call 911 immediately for assistance.
