ScienceDaily (Mar. 20, 2009) — Marijuana, a commonly abused drug among high school and college students, is linked to a severe form of vomiting syndrome and compulsive bathing behavior. This form of severe vomiting sickness is increasingly recognized with widespread abuse of marijuana. The syndrome usually subsides with strict abstinence from marijuana abuse.
This obscure clinical manifestation of severe vomiting sickness due to chronic abuse of marijuana was recognized by Dr. Sontineni and his colleagues at the Creighton University of Omaha, NE.

I peed my pants from laughing so hard one night in college.
Other than that, I just zoned and moaned when stoned.
and look at this other article on the same page:

ScienceDaily (Nov. 6, 2007) — A Swiss study suggests that teens who use only cannabis appear to function better than those who also use tobacco, and are more socially driven and have no more psychosocial problems than those who abstain from both substances, according to a new report.

So...we should smoke more weed and smoke less cigs! haha There ya have it kids!
After reading these responses, I want to vomit and take a shower.
Make no mistake, it may seem innocent, but I have seen the stoned come onto a workplace. You do not want them trying to work, because they don’t.
Well that certainly depends on what kind of workplace you're talking about, doesn't it?
Yeah, in a retail type environment, the doped up were a hoot....but they were useless on the paycheck.
Does that answer your question?
Funny stuff. Never heard of this happening to anyone absent massive alcohol consumption. Science Daily usually has the latest on Global Warming too.
Yep. There are certain jobs that actually benefit (think graphic art, film, etc) and others.. not so much (industrial, finance, corporate governance...)
Whomever ripped off the taxpayers to do this "study" obviously wasn't around for the 60's.
So now we know that if you smoke marijuana morning, noon and night for six solid years, you might throw up.
Um, just theoretically supposing I ever did smoke pot, it NEVER made me vomit. Beer, however...
Hey, we all have a past!
Yes I’m thinking they should’ve stopped about the time they fell asleep from overdoing it. Or not drank as much beer or ate everything in sight?
What’s interesting is that people undergoing chemotherapy will smoke dope to counteract nausea (and help *prevent* the vomitting associated with it).
The sickening truth is that EVERYBODY who has ever smoked marijuana is going to die.
Just as an anecdotal data point, I’ve been smoking dope for 40 years and have hung out mostly with fellow dope smokers for all those years, and I have never observed the alleged vomiting/compulsive bathing.
It always amazes me how many potheads still exist at Free Republic?
Not nearly as many potheads as alkies.

Pot heads can’t stop puking

Liberal doses of alcohol make me vomit and stick my head in the toilet.
