Cannabis affects everyone differently. While most people tolerate it well, some may experience unwanted or adverse effects - especially with higher doses, edibles, or first-time use. Common effects can include dizziness, rapid heart rate, anxiety or panic, nausea or vomiting, confusion, and drowsiness. Most are temporary, but some reactions can be serious.
If you are experiencing an adverse effect from a product purchased at Dirty Flamingo Cannabis Co., please report it to us right away and contact us to determine the next steps. The Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) maintains strict protocols for individuals experiencing adverse effects, and prompt, accurate reporting helps protect you and the wider community.
