Update on 2nd page.
==== Last night I smoked some trees and started getting really bad chest pains. I thought I was having a heart attack. My vision was getting blurry and I was shaking like mad.
When I got into the ambulance, my heart rate was at 150; more than double my average. I was strapped into the stretcher incase I shook any worse and was given an IV.
I waited 8 hours just to see a doctor, squeezing in an EKG and sonowhatsit test in between. Finally, at 4am, I saw the doctor. He was your typical anti-marijuana bigot. He refused to tell me what was wrong, what had happened or what my test results were. He implied that the only way to magically fix this was to stop smoking pot.
I asked him to elaborate repeatedly. Even the slightest bit of information would have helped. He just stared at me and eventually left the room. I wake up this morning, and I feel like I was hit by a car. No perscriptions, stress relief techniques or any form of general advice. There's no weed active inside of me, yet I have lingering discomfort in my entire upper body.
Fucking ridiculous. It is some bittersweet irony to go with the fact that the Conservatives won the election on the same night, which guarantees another 4 years of bad health care.
