Question : I sniffed Gold last night. My right arm and leg have a sense of being asleep. Is this temporary?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Ashok Kumar Choudhary (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
It may last for two to three days

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

First of all I assume you are referring gold to psilocybin which is an psychoactive substance.

The feeling of numbness in certain areas of body after sniffing gold can last for two to three days and it is temporary.

I hope this answers you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
