    There’s a high risk of fainting and vomiting, which can cause asphyxiation during unconsciousness. This is similar to how Jimi Hendrix died. It is a very real danger. It’s good to know to place someone in the recovery position if unconsciousness occurs.

      Lucky to have been taught the “stabiele zijligging” at the scouts ehbo training already. Maybe i got decent tolerance but me and a mate still managed to bike home for an hour trough a wooded area after downing half a crate and some k lines, so fainting and especially vomiting never occurred to me.
