The North America Hospital Poison Treatment Center in Hanoi, Vietnam announced that they had admitted a 56-year-old female patient who complained of symptoms such as confusion, vomiting, dizziness, and dilated pupils. According to reports, the patient experienced these symptoms about an hour after consuming popcorn that was purchased online.
A urine test conducted on the woman revealed the presence of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main component of marijuana. The woman was diagnosed with poisoning and received emergency treatment. Although she is now out of danger, she remains in intensive care.
The center frequently treats cases of individuals who have consumed cannabis-infused cakes, cookies, candies, e-cigarettes, and pipes. This is the center's first case of a patient who had ingested marijuana popcorn. The popcorn was purchased online by the woman's son.
Furthermore, drugs disguised as chocolate and juice are being illegally sold on social networking services (SNS). Doctors are urging the public to increase vigilance towards products of unknown origin, as many people have become poisoned and hospitalized after consuming them.
