As a result, this combination is strictly discouraged.
- ]] - Cannabis may have an unexpectedly strong and unpredictable synergy with the effects of DangerousInteractions/Psychedelics. Caution is advised with this combination as it can significantly increase the risk of adverse psychological reactions like anxiety, paranoia, panic attacks, and psychosis. Users are advised to start off with only a fraction of their normal cannabis dose and take long breaks between hits to avoid unintentional overdose.
