Hi i had my first two alcoholic drinks last night, two krusiers, at my girlfriends birthday party. It was my first time drinking and i knew i wasn’t having anymore than two. lots of people were at the party and suddenly i started smelling this string strange smell and i realised some people near me had lit cannabis and started smoking it. I have been diagnosed with mild OCD and anxiety and i would never ever do drugs but because we were in a small space, i could smell the strong smell for say 15 minutes. I am so worried now that i could be effected from it or could die from being exposed to it, i would never ever take drugs and now that i’ve accidbetly been exposed to it i am very scared i could die

Hey Bill, welcome to the Beyond Blue Forums, It's great to have you join us here. We're very sorry to hear how stressed and overwhelmed you are right now. We know it would've been very upsetting to be unwillingly exposed to a drug. We think it would be best to talk to a parent or doctor about your concerns, however, we do feel that any serious effects from a single exposure of cannabis use are unlikely.
We'd recommend getting in touch with Kids Help Line. They are a confidential and anonymous, telephone and online counselling service specifically for young people aged 25 and under. You can also reach out to our Support Service, which is available 24/7 by phone on 1300 22 4636 or on Webchat 3pm-12am AEST on our website: www.beyondblue.org.au/getsupport. They can help to answer some of the questions that are worrying you and hopefully help to ease your anxiety.
We hope that you keep checking back in and let us know how you are going when you feel up to it. We're all here for you.

Hi
I'm sorry to hear you have have OCD and anxiety. I can understand your worries with going to this party but l can assure you that you will not die from smelling the cannabis. Try and take some deep breaths and relax and remember as l said you are okay and will be fine. You did not smoke it, or inhale it. Best wishes for you😊
