Chronic cannabis users are at risk of experiencing a horrifying new condition that is being reported at hospitals across the country. 'Scromiting,' doctors say, is becoming an all-too-familiar site at emergency rooms, with patients 'screaming and vomiting' as they turn up for help...'I've screamed out for death,' Chalfonte LeNee Queen, 48, told NPR after experiencing the terrifying illness. 'I've cried out for my mom, who's been dead for 20 years, mentally not realizing she can't come to me.'

Pot really screws up your thinking. Pot users always seem to think that the harmful effects of alcohol somehow cancel out the harmful effects of weed. Sort of like how liberals justify their crimes by pointing out other people’s offenses. One is unrelated to the other.
Curious...
I'm two decades into my pot career, and I hang out with many people who've been smoking pot since the actual '60s, and this is officially the first I'm learning of this well-known consequence of marijuana use...and from a British tabloid no less, so it must be 100% legit.
Strange. You'd think I'd have heard about it before today.
Pot is medicine, or so I’ve been told.
Come spend a night with me in the ER. You will see more than you want
Unc swore by it. Said that it didn't help his appetite, but it at least let him get some sleep, which was a blessing. No cancer cure though. At least he was more comfortable.
YMMV. It seems to me that if treated like any other medicine, it would be fine. Of course, that will never happen, now.
I detect a megatrend..
My views on cigarettes—which I despise and never have smoked—is that people should educate themselves on the health risks, and then be free to make an informed choice as to whether they want to smoke them or not.
I don't believe in the arbitrary and Tyrannical contraband laws which nanny-staters—whether on the Left or Right—seek to impose on others.
It's absurd for someone who calls himself a "minimal government conservative" to support arbitrary government power—along with the ever-expanding police state and trampling of Constitutional rights which are an integral part of any enforcement apparatus.
Authoritarians on the Left and Right would have the rest of us choose whose version of Tyranny is most palatable. I reject that false choice. I choose actual Liberty, with all of its warts, difficulties, and inconveniences. Education and rehabilitation—not incarceration—is the only legitimate way to address such challenges in a truly Free society...
About how many marijuana users do you see per night in the throes of this awful condition?
It would definitely be worth a try. The strains of weed vary widely. My sister only smokes it if she can get a certain strain. The stuff my BIL smokes is way too harsh of a buzz but it is cheap.
I wonder if deer would eat it.
You see it a lot with edibles.
fake news,,
How much is a lot?
In the 60s we'd sit back and listen to In a Gadda Da Vida (all 17 minutes)...
No we don’t have to accept it and no we don’t have to get used to it...we might not be able to do any thing about it right away, but it is a free country...so you can smoke away and we will moralize if we wish and not shut up about it...you can listen or just walk away....right?! Right!
Says the RN having had his fill with the “scromitizers’ already coming into his unit!
We have had a few cyclic vomiting cases.
I think that the showers short circuit the neuro system with an overload that stops the vomiting for a period.
We see about a 3 to four week course, with frequent repeaters.
We’ve seen a few of these screamers already in our unit...
My son doesn’t smoke.
He doesn’t fly in your son’s league but he is a truck driver and heavy equipment operator and never wants to jeopardize his living. He is also Christian.
At different companies that he has worked at he has been the tested person over and over, for they know he tests clean.
Okay, when marijuana smokers smoke way too much, they Scromit.
So what is it called that Democrats do?
A combination of whining, hate, bigotry, bitterness, greed, perversion, avarice, atheism, envy, sadism, and lust for power that makes them vomit and poop their pants?
BLAB HAG SPEWS?
the marijuana of a million years ago isn’t the marijuana of today
Quit smoking pot and cigarettes in Nov, 1999. Haven’t looked back but still want a cigarette every day.
