The experience of time (mostly slowed down) and the sense of space (misjudgement of distances and speeds) changes, there may be reduced responsiveness and misjudgement of a given situation. In addition, irritability and lack of drive can occur, as well as overestimation of one's own abilities and a reduced ability to criticize, up to and including behavior that is inappropriate for the situation. In general, concentration 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 use frequently and regularly, especially high-dose concentrates, there is a risk of dependence (especially with psychological, but also mild physical symptoms). With sudden abstinence, sweating, hot and cold shivers, loss of appetite and difficulty falling asleep, and irritability are possible. With chronic consumption, there is a risk of loss of reality; impairment of short-term memory and motivational ability is also possible. In the case of smoking, the susceptibility to respiratory problems (bronchitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, etc.) increases due to the combustion processes in the case of chronic consumption. Smoking in combination with tobacco also poses the risk of nicotine dependence and risks associated with tobacco smoking (laryngeal and lung cancer). There is currently insufficient knowledge about the long-term risks of consuming e-liquids and no conclusive assessment can be made.
