My wife had a scary experience in high school where she went to the ER because she couldn’t breath after hitting a gravity bong WAY too hard. Now, it wasn’t the weed per se, she had chronically inflamed tonsils that no doctor would take out (because she was on medicaid) and most likely the cotton mouth made them block her airway.
The upshot, though, is that people in that situation, even if the weed didn’t make them go to the ER, might hesitate to seek medical emergency because they happen to be high. I know I’ve ignored cuts that probably could’ve used a professional looking at because I fell out of a tree while partaking. She also gets very paranoid on weed and had anxiety struggles anyway, so if she needed to talk to someone while high or about things that happened while high, it would nice to not have the spectre of the law hanging over that conversation.
