Hi. I'm trying to make sense of a weird thing that happened yesterday and I'm wondering if anyone's had a similar experience.. I was removing nail polish with an ethyl acetate solution, and I remember spilling it all over my hands and at one point holding the bottle up to my face and smelling it (not sure why I did that).. I was in the room for a while with no ventilation and later on was told it reeked of nail polish remover. Then afterward, was about to head over to my fiance's place but put some washing on, then completely uncharacteristically, in the middle of the day and for no apparent reason, I smoked a bucket of hydro (and I generally have no desire to smoke pot as it doesn't do anything good for me) then went back into the ethyl soaked bedroom for a while. So I apparently chucked a whitey.. but I freaked out, couldn't move, thought I was having a stroke, panicked, mum came home and called the ambulance and it was a big drama.. and through the whole thing my sense of reality was utterly distorted and fragmented. Even taking the pot in the first place was totally out of character for me as I've long since stopped taking it or any drugs, and am quite wary of it's possible side effects as I have a history of poor mental health. It seems it never occurred to me that I'd get stoned or that I was in my parents house and it was the middle of the day, and maybe my fiance would be upset if I turned up stoned.. I just completely wasnt thinking? I've done buckets before (over a decade ago) and probably thrown a whitey before but never experienced anything like this. It's now a good 24 hours later and I'm still fuzzy as shit but a lot better. Could it be the nail polish remover got me high enough to take the pot in the first place and interacted with it in some way? It seems to be the only thing that makes any sense, or am I just making excuses for really bizarre and stupid behavior? Has anyone experienced this combination?
 
It seems to me like the nail polish remover got you to a high-like fuzzy, unaware, impulsive state. You thought about smoking pot, so you smoked some pot. With no thoughts in-between.

It seems highly unlikely that anybody will ever be able to tell you with certainty though, whether it was the remover, or simply a lapse in your judgment and critical thinking.

Didn't the hospital tell you anything? It does seem like it would have to be the remover, unless you've reacted that way to weed before.

Id go with momma5's idea that the nail polish remover caused the laspe in judgement and added.to the weeds effects, solvents do strange things to the brain and are toxic as hell.
However, if you notice anymore confusion or judgement laspses in future then see your doctor as it can be an early indication of certain health problems.
