I was putting two and two together with another discussion I was having and this thread about changa causing asthma and flu symptoms. Forum Error
I smoked a bowl of changa the other day and the next day I didn't feel well. Basically the same symptoms described in the thread I linked above. My chest felt very heavy, had a fever part of the day and felt weak. My changa is pretty simple. It's 10x from b caapi in acetone. Mullein is the base. I noticed my changa catches a small flame to it if I put the flame directly on it. I'm extra careful about letting it dry out. I leave it sit out for a couple days after the smell of acetone is completely gone. Is it possible that some solvent is trapped in the changa that never evaporates out and this is what is causing the symptoms that people are having? I checked the msds of the acetone that I have and there is nothing else in it. Here's the problem with that theory though. Looking at the symptoms for inhalation on the website below, fever is not a symptom. Acetone
Could their just be some sort of acute negative symptoms from smoking changa? Could the accounts just be coincidence? I have smoked changa from this batch a couple times before this and didn't have this issue. Besides, with how common acetone is used in nail polish remover wouldn't you hear about fever symptoms from inhaling it while using it?
If the solvent is the issue, a more food safe solvent could be used as a control in some sort of informal experiment. I guess the million dollar question is, has someone used Everclear as their solvent and still experienced these symptoms.
