I've had the same problem for the past 4-5 ys now, i've had a sum kinda skin problem plus all those symtoms mentioned.. stop dabbing i'm fine, its pretty easy to tell ifya got bullshit wax by just lookin at it, i finally found a clean source of wax thats equivalent to sum dry sift rosin

And to add to this i prefer FLOWER'S over everthing else, i'm a FLOWER GUY BUT WITH the legalization mess it hasnt helped the quality of the flowers so i'm leftto dab until things change

Guys...I know its hard to take this guy seriously, but let me share a little story with you, that culminated with me going to 3 different doctors today. It all started three days ago when I purged my last batch of BHO. Now, I'll start off by saying that I blast material that I grew, so I know it's free from contaminants. Also, I purge the shit outta my stuff via vacuum, and it contains no butane. So...No butane, no contaminants...Well, three days ago, I started dabbing this latest batch with no signs of anything abnormal. I usually just dab in the evenings on days which I work, and I worked on Saturday and Sunday, so I was mostly dabbing at night, and last night I smoked more dabs that I ever have in one night...Thats how I know it was the BHO. cause I didn't do anything different or eat anything that night, and after all those dabs, my belly already hurt a little...I just thought it was from coughing a bunch. I didn't notice anything abnormal until this morning, but when I woke up, my abdomen was swollen to twice it's normal size, and I had considerable pressure. Naturally, I'm freaking out. I mean, I'm generally a pretty healthy guy, so this was WAY out of the norm for me. As soon as I woke up, I called in to see my regular doctor, and told them my problem. They told me on the phone to go straight to the hospital when I described my symptoms. So by this point, I've noticed the pressure is getting greater and I'm starting to get short of breath. I'm really freaking out, and my girlfriend can hardly get it together enough to drive me to the hospital. Well, I live in a slightly rural area, and as we're driving down the mountain the pressure has reached a point where I am practically having to straighten my back as stiff as a board to try to alleviate some of the pain from by distended belly, and finally I just tell my gf to call 911. So the ambulance comes, they get me to the hospital, and the admitting doctor takes one look at my belly and his eyes get as big as saucers. By this point, i'm sweating profusely and vomiting. So, thats doctor number 1. They take me to a room and another doctor comes in, takes a look, and walks back out...Doctor number 2. He comes back in like 15 minutes later with Doctor number 3, and a tray full of medical instruments. The shove this bendy camera up my ass, and after a few minutes of nothing, they pull it out...And as they pull it out, I swear, I shit out a golden egg the size of a grapefruit...Now I'm rich, biotch!
Lol

Its called a panic attack, it is very exaggerating with a high dose of THC in your system almost feels like your dying/heart attack.

Try a different batch, my bet is you'll still get it.

I get full of lung butter the day after smoking bho from my guy. Each and every batch. Never from his distillate. I've even put the bho back into my vac chamber hrs and hrs and no cavitation under vac (-29.5).

This summer i came across some folks from colorado whowere big dabbers, one even wored at a dispensary. I was shocked when i saw the extracts they claimed tobe top notch. Total and absolute crap, id bet most of it had been grown in a place where they spray with chemical pesticides and etc. The extracts looked so shit i didnt even want that shit contaminating my titanium nail!
I never make any oil unless i know how it was grown, and i defo wont try someone elses til i know a few thing first. After all you are concentrating somthing into a fraction of its volume and hence also pottentially increased concentrations of harmful substances in your oil. (Lipds and sterols included lol)

Commercial oil is hit/miss it seems. I usually get rosin because it's the best bet for getting something clean. BHO, on the other hand, has been a mostly negative experience. I can almost always taste the butane it it -especially if it's wax. Sometimes, it even crackles!

If I can't get rosin, then I usually don't dab. I am getting ready to start making my own rosin from plants that I grow.....It can't get much cleaner than that!

I have a hard time believing the THC % ratings on most strains -much less the stated number of residual solvents in solvent-based extracts. The whole testing thing makes me skeptical....inflated THC percentages.....deflated residual solvent ratings...A lot of these so-called lab technicians look like they took Beavis and Butthead and put them in lab coats.

Having judged concentrate at High Times, ICMag and Dope Cup competitions, I can tell you that even some folks who pay big bucks to enter their product and thinking they are going to win, don't know what they are doing.

Others make me want to know more of the details of how they did such a nice job.

I lay the blame on ignorance, because I believe folks looking to do a bad job are in the minority.

Consider what we were dabbing a decade ago, versus the newer plateau it has risen to. It is now common knowledge how to avoid plant waxes using cold, how to pre-distill to remove Mystery Oil before extraction, and about vacuum chambers and ovens.

We also know considerably more about the aromatic compounds in Sweet Mary, how to hold on to them during purging, and their medicinal effects.

The result is purdier, more aromatic, and tastier concentrates, which have set a new standard.

Consider that something bragging rights purdy a decade ago, would be scoffed at by today's aficionados.

Bringing this circumlocution to an actual point, responsibility begins with the first awareness.

There is no reason today for poor quality concentrates, as the information is readily available on how to do so properly. If someone can't afford the equipment to perform quality extractions and finishing, or to test it afterwards, they shouldn't be supplying others with their product.

The good news is that both Butane and Ethanol are both GRAS, so are highly forgiving FDA Class 3 solvents, allowing considerable latitude on post purging residuals, or you would have seen more of us sick back when.

I feel you on flowers. Seriously only reason I got them was because I couldn't get anything but brick that month. I actually went did this hyperbaric chamber last couple days and it has helped so much. My head hurt and I was foggy and I felt similar to when I had my concussion years ago. Just over all had cognitive difficulty and even started having symptoms of peripheral neuropathy..the hyperbaric chamber is definitely helping me though in all areas..

Idk man.. this is pretty physical. The shit burned my lungs so I went to the Dr and they said I have nodules nowm basically the shit scarred my lungs so I know for a fact it was no good. My throat closed up and I also had a chemical burn on the roof of my mouth? Sounds like butane fucked me up. My thinking and personality have changed also and I can't sleep anymore hardly. Also been having body twitches almost like brain zaps but my limps with shake or jump when that happens. I feel seriously fucked up

it could also be pesticides or other contaminants from the flowers that got extracted in with the oil. pryethrins, azamax, spinosad etc all contain ingredients you don't want to combust and smoke

if you are in a legal state or canada and consumed product that was recalled you could contact a lawyer. i know in canada there is multiple class action lawsuits right now for contaminated products from LPs. i can't say anything for certain but i would hope you make a full 100% recovery. perhaps you could try eating CBD or THC caps/oil to help alleviate symptoms

Do you get it with all concentrates?

Do you feel tired/stoned/groggy throughout the next day?

Is the length of the brain zaps like a split second blackout?

Do you get a numb body feeling? Mostly hands and feet?

Do you get crazy heart palpitations & does it get worse if you think about it?

Does concentrates make it worse?

Does flowers make it better?

Ive went through everything listed above, if this is the case then i would stop concentrates atleast for now.

For me all concentrates triggered it and eventually it came to the point i was getting all the symptoms while sober.
It wasnt my rosin press, wasn't my water only cannabis grows, it was just a massive accumulation from thc in my body and the accumulation was actually way worse once i quit flowers and did purely concentrates.

Not saying its your problem, but if the list looks familiar then i would consider it & of course still continue with your check-ups.

Sounds like a puzzlement for the medical experts, whom I recommend seeing sooner than later.

I'm relatively sure he will tell you to stop using cannabis and any other drugs until they do sort it out.

Good luck brother!
