I accidentally drank from a bottle that had marijuana ashes in it and took a big sip before realizing. I ended up vomiting about 20 times and even though I feel a bit better now, my stomach still hurts. Should I be concerned about swallowing ash? How might this affect my health both short and long term? I'm also really worried that some pieces might still be stuck in my throat. What potential health issues should I be aware of from this?

I've been having ongoing stomach pain that isn't getting any better even after taking CYCLOPAM. I'm 68 years old and not sure what to do now. Any advice?
I understand your concern. Persistent stomach pain despite taking Cyclopam could indicate a more serious underlying issue such as gastritis, ulcer, or other gastrointestinal problems. It's important to seek medical attention immediately, preferably with a visit to your healthcare provider or an emergency department, to properly diagnose and treat the cause of your discomfort.
