I doubt that, but to the extent that this is even a real syndrome and not some made-up BS, I would imagine one would have to ingest a ridiculous amount of cannabis to achieve this.

After spending 25 years responding to idiots who have destroyed their health with frequent pot use... I have learned that mentioning the crap that I saw goes in one ear and out the other of the potheads who post here.

But believe it or not even in a society that basically worships alcohol use, habitual consumption, smoking or vaping marijuana is somehow a bigger threat to most peoples’ health than pickling your brain with alcohol.

Why? Hell, if I know, but it is the God's honest truth.

So what is your definition of frequent pot use? And how did it destroy their health exactly?

I'm open to the idea that serious cannabis abuse can damage health, but of all the chronic users I've known, I've never seen this syndrome or any other serious health consequences that didn't involve other drugs or alcohol as well, so I'm curious as to what your personal experience is.

Thanks for posting. Sounds like pot is like everything else in life—eventually we learn that it’s best to do things God’s way. 1 Corinthians 1:1-7

Follow my lead, gentlemen. A couple of months ago I confessed to my wife that I had a substance addiction. She asked to what. I eyed her up and down and responded that she is the “substance”.

Chronic alcohol use and chronic marijuana use are both dangerous for human consumption. If you’ve seen the effects of long term alcohol use( big honking red nose, slurring of speech, bad memory, significant liver disease, car accidents, debilitation, heart disease, etc) you may not think it is less harmful the marijuana.
We are now finding out the long term effect of MJ effects... won’t be good either.

Ya’ think chronic drug abusers have a death wish?

I feel very sorry for all the people who have tragically
died in fires while you stood off to the side, stamping
your little feet and ranting about "potheads".

I hope there are consequences for you, in this life and the next.
