Man Sticks Cannabis In His Nose, Forgets About It For 18 Years

The patient snorted a cannabis-filled balloon before going into prison and thought he had swallowed it, doctors said.

An Australian man suffered numerous sinus infections over an 18-year period before doctors finally smoked out the cause: good ol’ cannabis.

No, not in the way you’re thinking: This guy stuck a packet of pot up his nose just before going into prison and then forgot about it.
For 18 years.

The 48-year-old patient finally realized his breathtaking situation thanks to doctors at Sydney’s Westmead Hospital, where he was referred after complaining of headaches.

According to a study published earlier this week in BMJ Case Reports, appropriately titled “Nose out of Joint,” a CT scan showed what looked like a calcified lesion in the nasal passage.

When surgeons went in for a closer look, they ended up removing what the report described as “a rubber capsule containing degenerate vegetable/plant matter.”

Yeah, yeah, pictures or it didn’t happen. Here you go:

Doctors removed the object and later engaged the patient in what the report called “specific questioning.”

At that point, the man remembered an incident in which he was about to go to prison and his girlfriend gave him a parting gift of some weed in a rubber balloon.

The man inserted the bud-filled balloon up his right nostril, but ended up inhaling it further than he expected, to the point where he thought he had swallowed it.

And he forgot about it, despite suffering numerous sinus problems since the indica inhalation.

The man is breathing easier these days. According to the report, he reported a complete resolution of his nasal issues after having the weed removed.

I get that he was in prison and was maybe worrying about other things but I never get how people can “forget their weed” and find it weeks/months/years later.

Because weed, doh!

Did the legalization propaganda in the US overshadow the facts and consequences of weed smoking?

It makes you letargic and prone to forget things, including weed.

In high school, my friends and I were driving at lunch and smoking bowls. We came across a ride program up in the distance, and rather than pass it, we turned around, which obviously prompted the cop to pursue.

He pulls us over literally right next to the local elementary school, he has us out on the road and he's checking all of us just feet from the fence where all the kindergarteners are out for recess, there are dozens of little kids leaning on this chain link fence watching us get searched lol.

Anyway, I have a can of coke, and the cop is like what's in that? I said it's coke man, would you like to try it? I offer him the can, he refuses. He eventually lets us go because he didn't find anything other than my friends pipe. We get back to school and my friend asks me for my coke - he had jammed a few buds of weed into my can before we got searched and I had no idea lol.

you’re not wrong, but from personal experience if you are a regular stoner (ie somewhat addicted the lifestyle) you don’t forget your weed, no chance.

especially if it’s stuffed up your damn nose my god I want to meet this guy.
