there was no such thing as "medical" marijuana until some enterprising leftists decided to create it as a cause

Educate yourself; cannabis was used as medicine in Egypt as long ago as 1500 BC, and in China since at least the time of Christ and probably earlier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_medical_cannabis.

no businesses, small or large, around here test for alcohol use.

Alcohol use has no less relevance than pot use to performance of any job I can think of.

Weeks-ago pot use doesn't make one a "pothead." That said, I support your right to hire or not hire on any basis you choose - but the liberties of adults should not be curtailed to give you a broader applicant pool that fits your personal criteria.

Absolutely true, but no business around here routinely tests for it since it's legal and can be used without abuse. BTW...

Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome ...

Mysterious Marijuana-Related Illness Popping Up In Emergency Rooms

Let's hear it for weed!

All this article proves is something folks have known forever:

Too much of anything for too long isn’t good for us.

I’d argue that some things are never good for us.

can be used without abuse.

So can marijuana.

Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome ...

Marijuana-induced vomiting is rare: "With the large prevalence of marijuana use in the world, why does it appear that so few patients develop CHS?" [emphasis added]
- Galli, J. A., Sawaya, R. A., & Friedenberg, F. K. “Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome.” Current drug abuse reviews 4.4 (2011): 241–249 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3576702/)

From your link: "'The most likely cause is that people using marijuana frequently and in high doses have changes in the receptors in their body'" [emphasis added]

Can we at least agree that you're better off if you don't? :-)

Speaking for myself as a medical marijuana patient,cannabis is medicine. Medicine I am thankful to have. If you think it's bad for you don't use it. 😊

It’s the THC, right? FWIW, I’m agnostic on the medical marijuana issue. For recreational use/abuse, however, I’ll never be an advocate.

Absolutely - and ditto here for alcohol, tobacco, junk food ... and government banning things because we're better off without them.

Nor I - what I advocate is government staying within its legitimate role of defending individual rights.
