What Are The Side Effects Of Smoking Weed?

hi, so I ve been smoking weed for the past 3 or 2 years daily at least twice a day and suddenly yesterday I felt really dizzy and with nausea after I smoked what I regularly smoke and it lasted for atleast 30min I went to sleep and woke better but I don t know why this is happening, I ve suffered from asthma attacks like 3 times ever and have an emergency inhaler in case I feel short of air I usually never have this episodes, It s been like more than a year since the last time and their not really bad I just take a hit from my inhaler and my dizziness and lack of air goes away, I m just wondering if it has anything to do with my asthma or is something else? I recently moved away from home and I m living by myself so maybe my diet changed a bit but still weed gives me the munchies and I always end up eating a lot, maybe not the healthiest but I mean I eat I weight around 120pounds and im 5 7 please help, I hate feeling this way

Addiction Medicine Specialist 's  Response
First, the quality control of street drugs is quite bad. The potency of the marijuana is not controllable. Furthermore it is often mixed with other drugs. In addition, other chemicals may come into contact with marijuana such as pesticides that can be quite irritating.
In addition, asthma changes as the SUM of stimulants (pollen, infection, exercise, other pricipitants).
One can easily have sporadic asthma attacks under conditions that can be impossible to reproduce.
