Maybe you mean hypoxia? Yes the ROA was smoking, but I am not sure how this would cause psychosis. For example I am a diver and read a lot about hypoxia and have never heard about anyone with psychosis because of a diving accident. | |

Thick smoke blocks the lungs from oxygen for several minutes. Then active components increase the adrenaline level, which in turn causes more and more need for oxygen. Google for "Hypercapnia". This causes strong death fear and as a result - anxiety, paranoia, etc. Probably this can cause long-term trauma also. So I doubt this can be reproduced in an experiment with more 'civilized' usage through vaporizing or swallowing. | |
