The experience of time (usually slowed down) and the sense of space (misjudgement of distances and speeds) changes, which can lead to reduced responsiveness and misjudgement of a given situation. Irritability and listlessness may also occur. In general, the ability to concentrate and memory are temporarily impaired during intoxication.
Panic and anxiety may also occur and there is a risk of developing psychosis and dependence. Furthermore, reddening of the eyes, decreased reaction of the pupils to light stimuli (risk of glare from headlights, decreased sharp vision), dry mouth, nausea and vomiting, excessive feeling of hunger, fatigue, tremor, dizziness, unsteadiness of gait, as well as increase in heart rate and pulse rate (poses health risks in existing pre-existing conditions of the cardiovascular system) may occur. Especially with concentrates there is a risk of overdose and occurrence of undesirable effects. High doses can therefore cause circulatory problems up to circulatory collapse, unpleasant intensification of feelings as well as paranoia and depressive moods. The risk of psychosis being triggered by cannabis use is also increased in cannabis products with an unbalanced THC-CBD ratio (high THC and low CBD).
Die Fahrfähigkeit kann durch die vielfältigen Wirkungen und Nebenwirkungen negativ beeinträchtigt sein. Neben den Wirkungen und Nebenwirkungen kann auch die Überschreitung des gesetzlich verankerten Grenzwerts, ab dem eine Fahrfähigkeit juristisch nicht mehr gegeben ist, zur Fahrunfähigkeit führen. Auch bei Konsum von in der Schweiz legalen THC armen CBD-Hanf (THC < 1 %) kann der gesetzlich verankerte THC-Grenzwert im Blut überschritten werden. In e-Liquids sind zudem Trägerstoffe (Glycerin, Propylenglykol) sowie ggf. nicht aus der Cannabispflanze stammende Duft- und Aromastoffe (z. B. Nicotin) enthalten, zu deren Toxizität bei inhalativer Aufnahme nichts bekannt ist.
Long-term risks:
If you consume frequently and regularly, especially high-dose concentrates, there is a risk of addiction (especially with psychological, but also mild physical symptoms). With sudden abstinence, sweating, hot and cold shivers, loss of appetite, difficulty falling asleep and irritability are possible. With chronic consumption, there is a risk of loss of reality; short-term memory and motivation may also be impaired. In the case of smoking, chronic consumption increases susceptibility to respiratory problems (bronchitis, tracheitis and pneumonia, etc.) due to the combustion processes. Smoking in combination with tobacco also carries the risk of nicotine dependence and risks associated with smoking tobacco (laryngeal and lung cancer). There is currently insufficient knowledge available on the long-term risks of consuming e-liquids and no conclusive assessment can be made.
