Cannabis in SN Protocol *Major Concern

[Daisy88_99]

Hi, the PPeH says this about THC "Cannabis can be used as both a useful premedication sedative and as an anti-emetic. It should be smoked or vaped 15 - 20 minutes prior to a person taking their lethal drug. Because oral consumption can be slow and unpredictable, this should be avoided." Since many people have problems getting Benzodiazepines (BDZ) and getting a recommended anti-emetic like Metoclopramide. I just wanna understand how effective is THC if you don't have BDZ or smth like meto that helps with gastric emptying. THC is very easy to get in Canada and pretty easy to get in the US and rest of the world compared to BDZ or opiates and it might eliminate the need for meto or similar anti-emetic too.

HOWEVER: Doing some research revealed that THC (Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is known to slow down gastric emptying! (which makes sense but I assumed it only slowed down metabolism AFTER the stomach) "Studies indicate THC can prolong gastric emptying time from an average of 30 minutes up to 120 minutes." which furthermore increase nausea which sounds very bad for SN.

So I am very confused on how this works. Obv it looks like nothing can replace meto (which is fine cuz you might be able to get it prescribed) but BDZ is very hard to get so it looks like if you took THC to replace BDZ then that might counteract the role of meto but that should be fine since meto is pretty powerful.

Does this mean THC should be avoided in a SN protocol?

If so, then will a OTC anti-emetic and OTC sedative be enough? Although nothing beats the proper protocol, so should I just spent time trying get meto and some sort of BDZ since they seem to be so fundamental?

I would advice STRONGLY against using weed during any attempt, no matter the method. Weed is a mild psychedelic and while yes it can be kinda antiemetic, it will also probably intensify the subjective experience of the CTB attempt. For example intensifying feelings of dizzyness, stomach pain or discomfort or chest pain. Of course this isnt for all users but the protocols for methods are there to minimize sensation and the bad effects of an attempt, not intensify them.

So drowning while very high on THC is prob not a good idea either?

What if I only took a vape pen that only has CBN not THC?
