UPDATE: Dion Waiters is the Heat player who had medical emergency on team plane, I’ve confirmed.

Waiters overdosed on “gummies,” sources say, and was passed out when plane landed.

He had a seizure when he was finally woken up, I’m told.

Waiters was listed out tonight (illness)

Not many people know this slang... is that some sort of edible / chewing THC?

From my understanding THC helps prevent and minimize seizures. If he did indeed OD from THC gummies I'd personally be shocked.

Panic attack maybe but seizure sounds fishy to me.
ok fine

It would be even more fishy if regular gummie candies made him pass out.

Chemicals that impact the brain are weird.  Especially with regard to seizures.  Many treatments that are used prevent seizures also can increase the risk in some people.

How many regular gummies do you think it would take? I've polished off a bag before in one sitting.
ok fine

Haha, you must have a high gummie tolerance.  I doubt you'd be conscious after two bags though ;)

He should have gone for the Sour Patch gummies instead. That sour taste will keep you up through anything.

 Looks like he had a panic attack from THC edibles and not a seizure.

Probably looking out the window for cops. Solution was simple just give him a juice box and an aisle seat.
ok fine

Does the NBA allow these THC gummies?

I guess the answer to my question is no...in any case the Heat have decided to suspend Waiters for 10 games and save the league the trouble of doing so.

Quote
The Miami Heat have suspended guard Dion Waiters 10 games without pay for conduct detrimental to the team after an incident on the team charter on Thursday. It is Waiters' second suspension of the season.

"We are very disappointed in Dion's actions this season that include the very scary situation on Thursday night, and grateful that the outcome wasn't worse," the Heat said in a statement.

"There have been a number of instances this season in which Dion has engaged in conduct detrimental to the team. ... We are proud of how our players have started the season. We expect all of our players, including Dion, to conduct themselves in accordance with the highest standards, and to show professionalism and respect for their teammates, the team, the fans and the NBA community."

That was an expensive career high too, $1.2m for a gummy  :police:
