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.'

No telling what crap chems they’re putting in to it, these days.
Indeed. Too much, too fast and the stomach turns it into hydrochloric acid. The brain then says, "No effing way" and then the dam bursts.
And all your values seem to change in an instant..."I....don't caaare about my shooooooes!...[BARF]"
This is one reason my town voted to ban all retail MJ shops. The medical stuff is grown, tested and distributed to valid outlets to avoid such things. There are two companies that do this in the town I live in. They do not distribute here. How other places do it to accommodate the potheads, I can only imagine.
Implied < /sarc > tag noted. But there is one difference between the use of the two substances: The intent of the pot user is a high. Alcohol can be used as a refreshing beverage over a period of time without a high being the goal (my couple of pints after playing ball with those 40-50 year old kids; fluid, carbohydrate and pain killer). Like anything else in human use, it will be abused by some.
Come spend a Saturday night sift in the ER with me. And bring your hip-waders.
well done
Believe in your Son if he gives you reason to, their are still Good people alive much to the dismay of others
Hummm, interesting... i wonder your views on smoking cigarettes... it’s not like pot has any ‘chemicals’ going into one’s LUNGS...
[Quietly asking again ... where are the anti-smoking NAZIs? Cannabis is SMOKE! What about the SECONDARY Cannabis smoke that is going to give me this screaming-vomiting disease. My rights are being trampled upon! ... me thinks the NAZIs have been smoking it all along!]
Don’t drink the bongwater.
Acceptance comes after understanding.
What is trying to be stated is that the ONLY reason such a thing is balloted and allowed voting at all is the need for bloated budgets of the socialist/unionist kind.
Logically, the comparative of the nanny state ‘reactions’ on cigarettes compared to pot (BOTH put chemicals into the lungs) is all the evidence one needs to understand the motives of the ‘elected’ elites.
Or died from alcohol poisoning...

Thanks.
We’ve been very blessed. None of our kids have given us reason to not trust them.
I’ve never heard of this vomiting effect but I’m not surprised about effects upon appetite and digestion as well as the effect showers have upon stoned individuals. I had my day in college, then it started making me paranoid which was no fun, so I stopped. But, marijuana is known to have a strong effect upon inappetance to the point of being prescribed to chemo patients. I also recall very well how cleansing a shower was when I got too stoned, seemed to wash the buzz right out, I could think much more clearly afterwards. Like a strong pot of coffee for a drunk, I guess.
People who think marijuana is some sort of panacea are usually deluded, they’re searching for rationalizations of their habit. Recreational use for a buzz has nothing whatsoever to do with medical use, though.
People who think marijuana is the worst thing ever and anyone who uses it is some sort of criminal reprobate are deluded on the opposite end of the scale, though. I don’t do it anymore but moderate occasional use isn’t going to hurt anyone, not in my opinion.
Most employers apply the “youthful indiscretions” policy. Obviously not in all cases but to a large extent.
Not for a security clearance and I would be very careful about professions that require a DEA number or the like
I legally grow my own for medical reason s. I never use fertilizers or herbicides, with the exception of organic potting soil, the rest is sunshine and well water.
I like to tell idiots who chant the natural mantra that the Okeefenoke swamp is natural and that they should therefore drink from it.
