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.'

So far, every time someone dopes up the brownies and doesn’t tell everyone.

Nope won’t be fine with that ...just fine with the nanny state on drugs...especially as they affect our young...Don’t mistake conservative choice with moral conservative choice. Conservatism not undergirded with morality is not conservatism at all but unbridled libertine licentiousness!

“So don’t try that ‘me and my reasonable pot smoking friends” routine.”

I started using cannabis in 2015 at the age of 54 to treat depression anxiety that phama meds never properly treated. Now I am a medical marijuana patient here in Florida.

I meet people regularly at my doctor’s office & at the local dispensaries (we have 2 so far) who strike me as not just reasonable, but nice, hard working individuals. I see quite a few retired folks suffering from chronic pain at the dispensaries who prefer cannabis to opioids. If you met them on the street its likely you would never know they were using cannabis at all, let alone as medicine.

Of course, YMMV :)

“just fine with the nanny state on drugs”

Said the CINO.

Cannabis is a seed baring plant given to us by God Himself. Genesis 1:29, read it, remember your grade school English & the definition of the word “and”. Get back to us about “morality” with your Pro-nanny state gibberish, after you read that scripture, k?

Then go read the 10th Amendment of the Constitution & share with us again why we should accept the nanny state for any reason, k?

Using cannabis is no more immoral than drinking alcohol or eating sugar, IMO. I abhor the nanny state, I pity anyone that welcomes gov’t interference in our lives. IMO, nanny staters like yourself are no different than a progressive RAT.

That was their most remembered song, mostly due to its length & the great drum solo, but I actually preferred Flowers & Beads more. 8>)

The band's 1968 album In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida is among the world's 40 best-selling albums, selling more than 30 million copies.

At times in our general ICU populations we may have at least 10 beds out of 32 filled with OD’s

So, on average, approximately 1/3 of your ICU is consumed with overdoses. Of that 1/3, how much is due to opiate overdose?

In the world of today, what I know is based on personal experience and direct observation. Everything else is just rumor to which I apply critical thinking based on what I really do know.

I like the cut of your jib.

The expotential increase in the incidence of autism closely correlates with the increased use of illegal drugs in women of procreative age.

From all the moms of kids with autism together: SCREW YOU. Pretty much NONE of us smoked weed during pregnancy. Or took any illegal - and off not no legal - drugs. Offensive to suggest that.

[Yaelle]

I don’t smoke it but I certainly know a lot of people who do, and I have never seen the vomiting effect.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

So far, every time someone dopes up the brownies and doesn’t tell everyone.

In your experience, 100% of the time people eat pot brownies they end up with this screaming and vomiting?

[Hemingway's Ghost]

The traditional scenario is a youngster 18-30, male or female, starts off with smoking a few joints, then will take etoh, or throw in coke or opiates. Or they take a hit of what they thought was a joint but were never told about the ‘special ingredient’. Some of them just can’t take the stronger levels of THC found in pot now a days and become sick, dehydrated, disoriented and needing treatment. There is a lot of “synthetic” pot that makes some folks act like a crazed superperson and they often have to be restrained and sedated, only the sedation levels they need would stun an elephant.

Okay, but we're looking for the instances where those who succumbed to this dreaded screaming and vomiting nightmare succumbed to it due to marijuana use alone. In order to do this, we must factor out any and all instances where people succumbed due to marijuana plus any other thing, like coke or opiates or "special ingredients" or synthetic pot. Otherwise, we'll never get a true answer.

So don’t try that ‘me and my reasonable pot smoking friends” routine.

I know, right? I have to get over my instinct to trust my 50 years of experience on this planet, and instead, rely on British tabloid newspapers to tell me the real truth. Damn these lying eyes of mine.

Are you ever sure that the pot you smoked over your “20 year pot career” never at one time came from a source where death and murder wasn’t used to protect the sources of your pot?

Rather, I'm quite sure of it. Isn't it a shame that the War on Drugs took marijuana, something that can literally grow for free in the wild, and made it into a valuable commodity, and forced people who wanted to obtain it to interact with violent sociopathic criminal types?

[I got the rope]

lol

I saw this happen to many friends. The ones that kept smoking it on a regular basis also seemed to be stalled as far as maturing.

I have the entire album in my phone; Flowers & Beads is great.

Interesting thing about In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. One evening on a long drive home I played it for my ADHD grandson. He was transfixed; the song really relaxed him, particularly the solo parts. There's something about that hypnotic mid-section.

When it was over, he remarked "That was really nice."

[Robert DeLong]

Interesting. How old is he?

I have all of their songs on my PC, though I must admit I rarely listen to them anymore.

[MarvinStinson]

If there is one thing potheads know nothing about, it’s marijuana.

[subterfuge]

Fail. Try again.

Yeh Baby! :-)
