Madison Baker van Dallas, 30, has been struggling with insomnia since 2017. Despite trying recipes, freely available remedies and sleep specialists, nothing worked in the long term.
At the end of 2022, Baker’s mother introduced her to Gummies with Delta-8 THC, a cannabiscompound that produces a mild high.
Because Delta-8 naturally occurs in small quantities, most products are synthetic but they are not regulated, so the content and doses are unreliable.
“I was super happy to find something that worked,” she said.
After having contracted her usual gummies just before the 2023 of New Years, Baker visited a local pharmacy. She bought both the recommended brand from her mother and a sleep -oriented variety.
She wanted the new year well equipped, she ate one of the sleep aid gummies at 9 p.m. and came to bed.
Less than an hour later, however, she was back on her feet, while she walked her heart and started in a panic. She was convinced that she was about to die.
Madison Baker van Dallas, 30, suffered from a frightening near-death experience after she had taken a gum that was peppered with a psychoactive medicine
Baker was born with an abnormal heart rhythm characterized by sudden racing after 180 strokes per minute due to unusual electrical activity in the two upper rooms of the heart.
Doctors often treat this sudden fast heartbeat with a fast-acting IV medication that briefly puts electrical impulses in the heart and pauses the heartbeat.
Baker undergone a heart surgery years ago to repair it, but said that the fast heartbeat and the subsequent panic brought back terrible childhood memories to the terrifying episodes.
THC, the chemical in marijuana that causes the high, can increase the heartbeat and blood pressure, increasing the heart.
It is difficult to determine the number of visits to first aid to cannabis, but the FDA has received 104 reports of side effects in people who have consumed DTA-8 THC products between 1 December 2020 and 28 February 2022. Fifty-five percent required medical treatment.
Research Hints Cannabis can increase the risk of heart attack, especially with vulnerable individuals – but more studies into the heart effects are urgently needed.
“I was so breath to breath, I felt dizzy and I walked through my room because I couldn’t breathe and I had the feeling that I died,” she said in a tap.
Baker saw visions of a heavenly pastry – Angelic figures who celebrated in the midst of flashes of bright light. Doctors excluded a heart attack and gave her IV fluids. She fully recovered and later called it an extreme panic attack caused by her heart episode
She crawled to her mother’s bedroom, knowing that she had to go to the hospital and the two ran there.
‘It freezes cold in Texas, I am wearing a t-shirt, I couldn’t even put on pants … and while we drive there, my vision becomes really blurry.
‘I roll the window down, I can’t breathe. I wanted to get outside my body. ‘
Baker lost her vision in the hospital, started studying and doctors urgently carried out an EKG to check for fatal heart problems.
In this period of foggy memory and gliding out of consciousness, Baker said she saw ‘visions of heaven’.
“I see these visions of this huge party in what looks like in heaven, and it’s this long table with all this food,” she said.
‘People are cheers and celebrate; People I don’t recognize. They looked like people, but form in angel. ‘
“Between those visions I saw the typical bright light you hear from,” she went on. “I had never seen or experienced anything like that.”
In the meantime, doctors had a heart attack excluded and Baker was connected to an IV. She could not say what was in the bag, but she started to feel better and her vision returned to normal.
Baker was born with a heart condition that caused dangerous spikes in her wrist (180+ BPM) because of defective electrical signals in her atria. The standard treatment – an IV – Medicine that temporarily stops heart activity – stops these episodes
“I finally got all right,” said Baker, and added that she believed that the experience was a particularly serious panic attack that started shortly after she felt her heart started racing.
Baker later admitted that she didn’t really die, but claims that she saw visions of heaven.
Near-death experiences (NDEs) are intense psychological events that often happen during life-threatening situations such as cardiac arrest, serious trauma or medical emergencies.
These experiences often include vibrant images, feel free from a person’s body and a feeling of peace and love.
Many survivors describe a clear tunnel of light, which suggests researchers, can be the comforting response of the brain to dying.
This phenomenon can also result from oxygen deficiency that causes irregular visual cortex signals.
These neural ‘misfires’ create phosphenes – false light flash – that simulate the light pattern at the end of a long corridor.
Baker is not alone in her experience.
Brianna Lafferty stopped breathing for eight minutes, in which she said she visited the hereafter
She said in the hereafter that she was weightless, apart from her physical form and aware that what we experience on earth is fleeting and vulnerable
Earlier this month, Brianna Lafferty told the Daily Mail that she had stopped breathing for eight minutes in 2017 due to complications regarding a genetic brain disorder.
While she lost consciousness, a voice asked Lafferty, 25, if she was ‘ready’ for death. When she said yes, she slipped into what she describes as ‘complete darkness’.
Instead of panic, there was clarity: ‘I felt completely alive, consciously and more myself than ever before. There was no pain, just a deep feeling of peace and clarity. ‘
She was weightless and detached from her physical form.
“Everything happens there in one go, as if time does not exist, but there was a perfect order,” Lafferty said.
Lafferty noticed that she was traveling through a bright blue tunnel Before she entered a series of lively landscapes.
Her last stop was a room where a role was presented to her, but before she could unravel it, her consciousness returned.
She said that the experience “changed the course of my life.”
Although experiences such as Baker’s and Lafferties may sound like something from a SCI-Fi film, experiences near-deather have been a topic for doctors and researchers for years.
Dr. Jeffrey Long, an oncologist in Kentucky, has studied more than 5,000 near-death accounts in more than 30 languages and cultures. The striking similarities in these experiences have reformed his understanding of death.
