Has anyone ever experienced a blackout from Medical Marijuana?

I have a new temporary top denture for my mouth. A tooth fell out and I went back to get it fixed. They said they had to make a whole new denture and they would call me the next day, (which was Wed)

I do notice that the dentures in my mouth are new and there are no chips or anything that should be fixed. I just don't remember actually going there and having them fit the new dentures in my mouth. It is really freaky. But I have an entire set of teeth in the top of my mouth!

I remember this shit from when I was young and drank a lot.

a blocked out memory. When I take too much pot my memory is horrible. Maybe I just forgot going back to the dentist?

I know I am cutting back down again though. I do not like this feeling of missing parts of my life.

This is from Australia and I don't know if they have different regulations over there.

"Doctors warn of significant increase in people hospitalised with psychosis after being prescribed medicinal cannabis"
Medicinal cannabis is causing harm to some patients, with doctors warning of a significant increase of people ending up in hospital with psychosis after being prescribed the drug.

Their concerns come amid a proliferation of "single-issue" cannabis clinics setting up in Australia, some of them willing to prescribe via telehealth consultations with few checks.

"We're seeing a lot of people getting medicinal cannabis who end up with their first psychotic episode, or we're seeing it dispensed to people who have psychotic conditions, and these people are relapsing," Professor Emmerson says.
"Part of the issue … are these single-issue clinics which, if you ring up, it doesn't matter what you say you want.

"They'll provide it for you even though there is probably no indication that it will work, and the prescribers never contact the person's treating doctor.

The other site talks about taking too much and having blackouts, different ones than from alcohol.
