Hi I am a 22 year old male. About a week ago I was smoking weed with some friends and my cheeks and hands stArted tingling. It lasted for about 15 minutes and then went away. It made me a little worried but I was able to shrug it off and haven't thought about it much until it happened again this Morning. I took one hit off of some weed that I am 100% sure wasn't laced with anything, and about 5 minutes later my face and hands started tingling again except for this time my face went part numb and it felt like I had really bad dry mouth and my tongue was swollen. It lasted for about ten minutes and right as I was deciding to go to the hospital all my symptoms went away. I've been smoking since I was 18 and this has never happened before. Anyone know what might be going on?

My answer is give up the smoking. Why beat yourself up with stuff that is not good for you either in the short term or the long term?
