TRUE Story - I ALMOST died from smoking weed

So I picked up some medicine from a chick that has been growing top-shelf for almost 5 years now.
She goes throughout the California area selling to dispensaries.
Two days ago, she gave me a 1/4 of White Widow to try.
Within a day, I was sick as sick gets.
The ONLY time I ever get this sick, is when I come into contact with CATS or CAT HAIR.
So I didn't understand why I was so sick, since no cats have been around.
I have always been DEATHLY allergic to cats since I can remember.
If I go to a friends house who has a cat, my breathing passage closes within an hour.

Naturally I recognized I was sick from CATS & not from a COLD, so I investigated.
I always try to find out who has the cat so I can eliminate them from my daily routine.
I proceeded to light up a bowl so I could clear my head & start thinking.
As I pulled a nug out of the bag, I noticed a white hair on it.

This immediately brought up a red flag in my mind, considering she has brown hair.
So I texted her & asked if she had cats.
She texted back with "Yes, I do at the site I grow the medicine."
I told her "I think your cats got into the weed or you got hair on it during trimming."
So she checked her meds & behold, she found about 70% of it was cat hair infested!

I REALIZED I HAD BEEN SMOKING CAT HAIR FOR A WHOLE DAY!
I am very lucky to even be alive considering the allergy attack it gave me was severe as Hell.
I had to go to the hospital because I could no longer breathe.
Luckily for me, I found out what it was before going to the hospital.
Because I highly doubt the doctor would of known I smoked cat hair lol.

Moral of the story, ALWAYS check your medicine as best as possible before smoking.
I also started watching WEED WARS & noticed a lot of the meds they get are infested with SHIT.
The street stuff can be very dirty without the grower/dealer even knowing.
Be safe & go to the dispensary even if it is a few extra bucks, it's worth it for the quality.
It was an innocent mistake by an experienced grower, I get that... but a mistake that could of killed me.

SIDE NOTE FOR EVERYONE:

• If someone was "swimming" & they almost died from a shark attack, would that person have the right to say;
  "I almost died swimming..."
  Yes they would, because "swimming" was the act taking place.
  Now after they say "I almost died swimming" you would ask HOW? Then they would tell you, "from a shark attack"
  
  All I did was say "I almost died smoking weed..." you guys read the "HOW?" part which was "from cat hair"
  So my statement still stands, I ALMOST DIED SMOKING WEED! (technically, that's true)
  
  OBVIOUSLY I know I almost died from CAT HAIR, that's what the ENTIRE story was about. Lol.
  I just didn't think I needed to point out the obvious to you guys, I figured you'd understand.
  My bad.​

  
  
  ​

That fucking sucks.Cats love weed so the damn things were probably all up in it lol.

I know someone thats real allergic to cats like that to and he always has to sit outside and shit.

Dude! That is way fucked up! Glad you figured it out before you got too bad. If people claim to be truly medical growers, they must (or at leat definately should have a clean almost sterile invironment. A cat in the area major no-no. My cat isn't interested in my 2 little girls and I am obviously not allergic to him anyway. But a medical grower. Shame on her. If she were to see that to a dispensary it could get too someone and do more damage. Cannabis does not kill but animal hairs can. +rep for staying alive!

You didnt' almost die from smoking weed, you almost died from smoking cat hair.

Glad you are still with us, but place blame where it belongs.

I don't usually share this with anybody, but since the subject came up ......


Everybody likes my weed. They say it has a distinct flavor regardless of the strain.
Since we have nine cats and live ankle deep in cat hair, I suspect it's due to the cat hair in the weed.

When I look at the plants with a lens to check the trichomes, I can see cat hair all over the buds.
The air intakes are filtered, but when I open the cabinet door and lean in to examine the bud, the cat hair on my shirt, and there is always plenty of it, jumps off onto the sticky bud like it was a magnet.

Haven't had any problems with allergic reactions from anybody, but I suppose if anyone was allergic to cat hair they would probably drop dead as soon as they entered my house.

Sounds....terrible. Just being honest. If you found some of my pubes in your stash I'm sure it'd have a "distinct flavor" as well.

lol yea I thought that story was funny. You can really die from being around just cat hair? Lol I know Ive trimmed lots of bud thats had a few dogs hairs on it and left the hairs on, I got 4 dogs. Lol thats the last thing I would have ever thought, an allergic reaction to hair, I better watch out, Maybe if anybody's going to smoke my weed now Ill ask if they allergies first lol. You know what I would do. Go to the chick that sold you the weed and tell her your story, make it sound horrible for you lol, maybe she will show you a little sympathy and give you a little extra weed.

PEACE

Awee those kitties just wanted to nibble the leaves and play with them.

I let my kitty wander around in there, she likes the extra warmth this time of the year.

another reason to hate cats...peace

What are the other reasons?
Did a cat molest you when you were a young boy? Did it stick its claw in your ass and tell you to "take it like a bitch"?

you poor soul.

HOLY CRAP, that same thing happened to me once,.....only it was peanuts!

You almost died from an allergic reaction to cat hair, not marijuana. Nonetheless that sucks dude.

so true i think he ment to say that the action of smoking weed almost killed him because of taint but you are very right also put blame where it belongs

Thank god, I'm so sick of those fucking things shitting on my car and making obnoxious noises when I'm trying to sleep.


But it's feral, and blame the dumb asses who feed the strays.

So I can sympathize with you on this one! I did not come close to dying but i am also very allergic to cats, it seems like anyone who has cats will get cat hair on their bud.I thought i was allergic to weed for a minute, Thank god that's not the case.... People with animals need to be careful because it gets on your buds.

Go to the dispensary? I don't think so!
Cover of 420Times mag reads "How Safe Are Your Meds?"
In the pro pot mag they talk about how some dispensaries
willingly and some not get what is called "Grit Weed".
This Grit Weed contains not all at once but singularly silicon shavings,
glass shavings, sand and sugar all to way down the pot for bigger profits.
Don't believe me? Look it up! Two different friends of mine got hospitalized from severe
chest pains after smoking some pot from a dispensary in L.A. So if anyone here
frequents any pot dispensaries best bring your 10x loupe with you. Seriously!
Better safe then sorry. And yes, it can happen to you, don't be NAIVE and trusting
of any pot shop. Be smart.

I think most people would feel weird about whipping out a scope and examining your shit right in the middle of a dispensary lol.

well I would... I can't speak for anyone else.

So L.A. dispensaries are sending people to the hospital? Wait what?

Now dispensaries are cutting their dope?!?!?!? Shame, damn shame. They're like pawn shops; paying little for the bud coming in because they know someone else will bring it if the seller doesn't like it, and charging street prices to the consumer. BOOOOOOO!
