Let’s keep this same energy with alcoholism and alcohol related deaths…
Exactly
But this may happen to .001% of cannabis users! Won't you please think of the children?!--GQP probably
@@kcwicks Think of the children... Since the second Geneva Opium Convention (...) of February 19th, 1925. The root of prohibitionist bigot power for politi¢ian$ pretending their laws must be "harmonized" without UN being even a democratic institution with elected representation in the People's House! And like the elephant floating under the roof nobody thinks of the "schedule" (at least for CBD) to finally put a definitive end that such misery!
De-Schedule, De-Monetarize! De-Politicize, De-Judiciarize, De-Medicalize...
Too many hats await for money to fall from the sky, think of the children indeed!

Bio inequality One persons weed is another drug addiction and illness
I’m 71. I have smoked pot pretty much everyday for the last 53 years. If you can’t handle it don’t smoke it. It helps me with the daily pain I suffer from injuries both while in the military and civilian life.
I grow my own, I know what goes in it so it makes me feel better about smoking than dispensary. I've never experienced the illness but a friend of mine microdoses shrooms because weed made him sick
I’d like to say thank you for your military service. I am grateful. It’s nice to hear you’ve found a more natural solution for what ails you.
Albe I’m registered for medical marijuana because I’m a gunshot victim and I suffer from spinal pain and bad spasms and anxiety. They have pharmacists that can help and suggest what is good for your type of pain. It depends what the potency of the THC which can be a high level or a lower level. They actually have some that has a small potency of THC and is mixed with CBD as well. And they have three different ones like for during the day and the kind that helps you sleep. The kind for during the day to help you tolerate pain is called Sativa and Indica is for to help you sleep to control pain. Then there’s Hybrid which is mixed the Sativa and the Indica. It just really depends on how much of the potency your body can take. And the dispensaries will tell you if you intake too much it can make you sick.
@@s_h_a_w_n_d_a it's all the chemicals used in growing.
I deal with chronic pain and depression, weed is the cure everytime!
damn that sucks but people better not use this as an excuse to make marijuana illegal when alcohol does way more damage.
EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE PUSHING HERE!! CHS Is made up by pharmaceutical companies. She diagnosed herself on WebMD & manipulated the doctor to agree with her. SMH!! Cannabis isn't a Poison!! Wtf?! Is this bullcrap!!!!!😮
Marijuana doesn't do damage to you unless you do it while your brain is still developing (25 years old and under).
I got drunk couldnt walk was puked like 10 times,woke up next day puking stayed in bed for 2-days.another guy got drunk ran off road killed a family of 8 jehovahs witnesses.
@@bkh5746 i know i guy who got snatched in el paso in front of a school bus , they found him dead in jurarez hands chopped for weed
as someone with family member with CHS - that almost killed him - I agree
SHOCKING! Who would have thought if you abuse anything that there will be negative consequences.
yup...all in moderation #respectthemedicine
right
Whatever is done abnormally or excessively brings about issues.
Seriously. Have heard of the guy who passed away because he masturbated to many times. Crazy way to go.
Hope he at least finished....poor guy@@Gsuneow
Strange that this only happens after legalization in half the country. But don't blame the massive amount of pesticides and fungicides approved safe for use on tobacco. Tobacco didn't start causing major health issues until after it was commercialized. Let's see if we can ruin cannabis too.
The thing is such contaminant amounts don't actually needs to be massive as toxicities just like medications don,t simply add up: they multiply. Alcohol and prescription pills being a striking reminder of that little detail...
Now what happens if so-called "regulation" includes a concept of *NON-DETECTION* levels? Depending where on lives the "legal" market for "sanitory" additives alone counts by the hundred, 200 in Washington as proposed years ago via "i502" - i can only wonder how many more today and that's not accounting for 3rd-world countries as Brazil just yet!
How much does it cost and how much time would it require to detect this many "traces" for starters? Where are the long-term studies reflecting the astronomical numbers of synergy-boosted recipes with no combinatorial C(n, r) restrictions??
Finally think of indu$trial strawberries and our human body equipped with filtering organs to deal with those "traces" interacting. How often do we eat them compared to the habit of smoking/inhaling cannabis?... E.G. many times per evening if not per day, perhaps every day too, every week, year, decade... All life long. Then lets ask ourselves this most basic question again: where's the long-term studies on savvy synergy-boosted NON-DETECTION recipes involving contaminants by the dozen out of catalogs rating in the hundreds!
Ah, and if an insect could speak: dear mister nuisible insect, do you ultra-sensitive antennas still detect that stinking stuff although laboratories don't... Did the indu$trials manage to avoid detection and simultaneously retain a pest-control function?... Which would explain our Z-elite$ need to include *NON-DETECTION* into the rules without much public debate on it, if any at all...
Seems like people just get too X dehydrated from smoking. Smoking. Pulls water from the body. A lot of people aren’t hydrated. That coupled with the fact that it’s hotter outside means that people(especially smokers) are dehydrating people faster than ever. All propels have to do is drink more water.
Instead of them just saying “hey y’all drink more water”
They try to make it look like a medical problem that requires treatment. Hospitals looking for more money. I guess Covid bailouts weren’t enough.
That was the most “doctor like” eat of telling people to “drink more water”
@@Egzoset what you’re basically implying would affect wayy more people given how many people smoke weed.
Ppl smoke everyday before it was legal now it's causing problems since it's been legal 😂
I totally called this years when they were trying to legalize. I said they legalize it the government will start to control it and start putting a bunch of crap in it
I find it funny how the patient had to come back and tell the doctor what illness she has.
😂
Exactly why I don't mess with doctors
It sounds like celiacs disease. Doctors couldn’t find it at first before my grandmother was diagnosed. It took doctors a while before they finally figured it out what was making her feel that same way this lady feels. So I’m pretty this lady has celiac
@@TheHonestPeanut yeah but they perform surgeries.
They do the same thing look up symptoms and give a diagnosis based on that
Just a reminder that the pharmaceutical companies dont want marijuana scientific studies as it could effect their bottom line.
Exactly. Just look at the long time effects of the garbage they push on us. Please.
FASCIST TUBE DELETING COMMENTS ONCE AGAIN JESUS FUCKING CHRIST BUT BIG BUBBA STILL HAS HIS ASSAULT RIFLE AMERIKKKA
Just a reminder u are somebody who don’t want to admit your addicted to weed
LOL are you people crazy its for recreational use do not smoke it every dam day. If you use it for medical purpose cut down the amount: Weed ignorance is a problem.
@@My2CentsYall your the one being ignorant, where did I mention daily recreational use? Marijuana has historically been ignored when it comes to medical testing. Thankfully there has been headway made, but still lots of non bias studies need to be done. THC/CBD combination is very effective medicine and seems to have far less side effects than most competing pharmaceuticals. Theres just not enough studies.
I saw a comment you made about marijuana not being like cigarettes. Funny you rationalize daily use for those, despite marijuana being less harmful even when consumed daily(as it’s usually in far less amounts in terms of smoke).
With this sickness, first we really dont know enough about it. Second it’s usually linked not just to daily marijuana users but users who consumed marijuana products with very high THC percentage.
can also produce extreme panic attacks. but like everything, moderation is key even exercise can be bad for you in excess.
My uncle is 96 and he's been smoking the real stuff for 50+yrs yet he's still going strong.
The stuff you uncle smoked was better. The new stuff is just THC A and at a high dose.
Grow your own
I bet he has the BEST stories! Most dudes that age are squares. It was "the killer weed" when they were kids. I'd love to meet the guy.
I've been growing organic in my two greenhouses since 2008'
My mother and her sister are in their mid 70s. Daily smokers.
We're all pretty damn healthy.
I don't trust the concentrates from the dispensaries.
literally
She diagnosed herself and the doctor said "yep that sounds like its it" lol
yea right
Right!!! Wtf?😂
😂
Your not fucking wrong there bud
“that’ll be $800 for the visit”
HmmmmmI, I don't partake in the herb but when local street pharmacist sold only the plant I don't recall ppl getting sick. This lab gmo stuff is horrible.
Hmmmm‼️🤔
ong it’s that gov bud and the carts and ppl on hybrid
No I read a well research paper from 1991 that talked about it it's nothing new it's been documented before
@@christopher.m.dickinson0315 There were no pesticides in 1991? No contaminated $¢ien¢e neither i suppose?...
@@Egzoset what? I was referring to CHS there was a paper that I read when I was in high school twenty years ago. About some heavy marijuana users having the same symptoms mentioned in this News segment. So I was referring to that none of these symptoms are really new. It just has a name now. There's no such thing as a 100% safe non side effect drug. This is coming from someone who has be using cannabis for 22 years. It's going to affect some people negative regardless
When I was a kid and I was drinking alcohol, I would get this really bizarre illness where I would black out and then start throwing up and sick the entire next day and I just always wondered why that was. Now I know it was marijuana poisoning. Thank goodness for safe and healthy alcohol.
Lmaoooo ☠️☠️☠️
😂😂😂
I started smoking weed when I had breast cancer and had to do chemo. It helped tremendously. I was able to eat and sleep. I would do it all over again. Obviously it's not for everyone. Actually I have never heard of someone having these symptoms
I'm glad it worked for you. My dad has 2 different types of cancer, and we're waiting for his card to come. I hope it works for him too.
@Giggles I hope as well. When you have chemotherapy it makes you very sick and not able to eat and my weight continued to go down. So I tried it and it worked. Blessings to you and yours.🙏
Not everyone will develop it. However I did and it’s terrible. I would never wish this on anyone, you truly feel like you are dying. It’s the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced.
They always do some sh!t like this to do an anti marijuana campaign it’s so stupid like we all know it’s not bad for you
For cancer it's great! For people that just want to sit around and get high, well they get what they get.
I've been smoking weed for 20 years. I have never once taken any over the counter or prescribed medicine, and I never get sick. I don't think its a coincidence.

Is this a joke? It's hard to believe anyone is this stupid. Besides, you've killed like 5 people by proxy over 20 years
Weird. I'm 40 and ive been smoking marijuana since I was 12 and never have I been sick from marijuana. I am a heavy weed smoker as well.
They have nothing to say
@@ivyachola5210 right? I get everyone is different and stuff affects everyone differently but this just seems like more scare tactics to justify the prohibition of Canibus.
@@strifedivineit’s not. I am 100% for cannabis. My entire family smokes it, my mom, my dad, my brothers, my grandparents, my aunts and uncles, my cousins, and I used to until 2020 when I discovered CHS. I developed this back in 2017 but didn’t know what was causing me to become so sick all of the time. It truly is terrible, you feel nauseous all of the time and violently vomit for hours and sometimes days. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I have been apart of that FB group since 2020 when I discovered what was making me sick, and as soon as I quit I felt so much better. I really do wish it was something else but after 3 years of trying quite literally everything to make me feel better, I 100% believe it was the weed making me sick because I haven’t felt like that since the day I quit. Not everyone will develop it, but awareness needs to be spread for those that do develop it.
They said it's RARE... Something that could happen More than likely not. Numbers probably will increase because of the legalization. But people have nut allergies and can die from nuts. Just because a few people are intolerant of something doesn't mean that everyone should be on high alert. Good to know the condition exists.
That's a damn shame that you started smoking weed at 12
It’s an Absolute 10 on the Pain Scale People
CHS - Has possibly made me Quit for Good 💪🏼
same.. couldnt eat for 15 days and lost 30 pounds, forcing me to quit
10 ply it's in ur head cannabis won't kill ya almost seem like a white ppl just tripping
I quite cold turkey!
@@itsjammbiYup me too
It's the worst pain and ive given birth to 4 kids and had kidney stones
What's good for the many may not be for the few. Not all can eat peanut butter either. I'm lucky cannabis doesn't mess with me in such a way!
How do you know it's really the peanut and not its indu$trialization which causes a Public Health problem?
@@Egzosetbecause it's something called 'control for' when you do experimenting you have to identify any variables. Y'all so dissonant to hearing anything negative about the Cannabis Gods.

It didn't do anything to my friend in her 50's for years and years either until 2 months ago, and then it did. Please don't think anyone is immune.
Thats what she thought. I also know another person, same thing.
What he said went completely over your head , bro RT 💯🫡
Most people who smoke heavily for years learn that you have to slow down. You have things to do and smoking that much marijuana when you have so many responsibilities is going to have adverse effects to your body. "Too much of anything is a bad thing"💯
No I've always smoked as much as possible, still got things done.

As someone with CHS i am still a huge advocate for weed. I am a part of the facebook group mentioned & this is more about awareness than scaring people into not smoking weed. This condition is terrifying, put me in the hospital for 4 days due to dehydration because i was unable to keep water down. It’s not as simple as “i puked a few times” I was vomiting for 6 days straight & when i had nothing left i was heaving. I lost 40 pounds in a week.
Just because it hasn’t happened to you does NOT mean it doesn’t exist.
Thank you for continuing to advocate.
Happened to my half brother too about 8 years ago, doctor knew exactly what it was. Smokers of more than 10 years, i was phase 1 where you just get a sick feeling every morning for like 10-20 mins and dry heave a few times and could one day turn into what you describe. I quit months ago and never happened again. I dread going full blown and decided to give it up 😢
Stop lying 40 pounds in a week bitch please
Did a doctor give you Haldol for it? That's what commenter Aileen FairFax above said works for it.
Thanks for sharing. I’m not saying the condition isn’t real. That being said there’s no way absent irrefutable evidence that I’m buying into the notion that cannabis alone is the root cause of this. There’s way too many factors at play here.
I had a co worker who would get sick from smoking and they labeled it cyclic vomiting syndrome but they told her it was the weed. Almost every time she started back smoking she would literally get sick. It sucked watching her because as a stoner myself I wanted her to enjoy it with me. Yet her body just kept rejecting it.
Selfishness
My mom had this it’s a scary rare disease
yeah, unfortunately all the pee brain people in these comment sections think that marijuana is a miracle drug with zero downsides on the planet. I bet a good portion of these people are dealing with the prodromal phase of CHS as we speak, and are just in denial. “no, it couldn’t be the weed!!!”
Potent pot odor causes nausea in people that don't smoke and are victims of second hand pot smoke because it lingers longer and carries further, for example in apartment complexes but pot smokers don't care how they affect others, its ironic that their habit is now making some of them nauseous too...
CHS is permanent once you experience it. No matter how long you’re sober, if you use it’ll come right back.
Been smoking strong weed for years and I feel fine.
Yes, and that’s great, but it’s not like that for everyone
Ah yes the it doesn't affect me so it's not an issue mentality
Can I make up an illness?
@@WELVAS.He didn't say that..
Same
As someone who became a medical patient in their late twenties. I noticed that I had greater relief from THC Vapes and gummies but over time after consistent (and abusive use) I realized when I tried to wean off I had to take hot baths like 3x a day. I had to deal with constant chills, gag reflex being randomly activated, sweating out of the wazoo. It was intense. My best advice if you’re one who is affected by these symptoms is to
1) Use only at night (if using recreationally) If you’re vaping then make sure you’re tracking the dosage and avoid blinkers
2) if you can curtail use to once a week or on the weekend that helps a lot. Once a month and you’re golden and the high feels so much better!
3) exercise and eat healthy. This was the hardest for me. Started waking up before work to run/calisthenics. When I was high frequently I made sure to eat clean meals. Even better you get TWO highs; one from eating clean and two me from being…well high.
4) Understand the strains. Indica has been proven to affect short term memory loss and create a couch-lock feeling and sativa is great for those who need energy throughout the day. This is a very generalized overview and the terpenes add various other effects but would be too much to get into here
5) If you’re having trouble ceasing abusive use try to find an accountability partner. That made a huge difference for me as well
I’m sorry to anyone having to go through this as it can be very painful. I still will vouch for weed being a better alternative than alcohol and harder substances but the universal rule for every drug is
“If you abuse it, it will abuse you back tenfold”
thc vapes can have many pesticides and artificial chemicals in them!! smoke only natural grown bud my friend
TL;DR: long story short everything in moderation people
There it is, I got my card went ham, now I don't ever smoke or vape, no straight THC edibles or pills only one 15-20 milligram dose of rso in the morning and that's it for the day. Hell I never really get high and that's just fine for me.
Thanks I needed to read Sweating out the wazoo 😂😂😂😂😂made my day
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Let’s keep this same energy with prescription drugs and related deaths .
She self diagnosed, then went back to the doctor who then agreed, turned into a whole news segment.
I actually have this issue. its a real thing for sure. I get it after smoking for a few months heavily in a row. High potency weed is becoming so much more common so makes this more likely
I had to do this with my doctor and he was a really good doctor (he retired)
I used to smoke every day and got tired of feeling a bit foggy and not as witty. I reduced it down to once a week and then once a month because I read a study that said daily use/weekly use is not good in the long run for your mental health BUT smoking once a month basically does nothing at all. So I let myself have that treat once a month. I look forward to it way more now!
Why don't you use a Gummie once a month? I don't advocate cannabis use use..but smoking is never healthy. Shsring a joint or pipe even more so.
@@Juliet475 gummies take too long. I want immediate joy. I smoke from a pen with an additional filter on the mouthpiece.
@@PapaOrbit once a month???😮..I used to do only fridays and Saturday….now😬
@@DettaDiscple that's way better than daily! My dad died last year of Alzheimer's. A part of me wonders if he'd still be here today if he stopped drinking and smoking cigarettes when I was born. My daughter was born a month and a half ago. So I'm gonna do what I can to ensure I stay with her longer than my dad could stay with me. Every extra year alive with her is a victory. BUT I love weed so much. I don't want to entirely stop. 12 times a year is not bad.
What you smoked is not what's available now.
Still gonna blaze daily. Gotta make this life liveable. Especially in the united states.
Sad but true!!!

❤Amen❤
Oh its a worldwide thing. Problems everywhere and people making problems.
This is ridiculous. Just because it got legalized doesnt mean all of a sudden more people are doing it.the same people that were doing it when it was illegal are doing it now.worry more about alcohol it's way more dangerous
Boom... True...
Who’s actually making up news? Why don’t they put some stuff about how stupid President Biden is or how he’s letting all these asylum-seekers over there’s probably terrorists coming over as we speak
No one is saying cannabis is bad. Often people who have CHS remain advocates for it. Its more so the legalization had opened up for stronger and a multitude of varieties of THC. Stronger THC levels in weed can lead to CHS because your body basically gets overwhelmed by the cannabinoids. The goal of this segment was not to make marijuana look bad or to discourage the legalization, it’s more to just bring an awareness to CHS as many doctors still don’t even know about it and there aren’t very many treatments to help people diagnosed. I’ve had CHS and it’s honestly one of the worst things I’ve had to go through. The CHS community really just want to be heard.
20% more people are using it since legalization but you're correct on the logic.
Don't you understand people that have been smoking at all their life have their own personal person they get it from come on. You see this stuff going on you know somebody's got something to do with it. I am telling you the way the United States is now people have been trying to kill us that's why we have so many people in the United States that came across the border how many people 11 million 12 million and people from a whole bunch of countries and all the fentanyl coming in poisonous weed I don't understand why people don't even realize. Of course there are people been smoking marijuana all their life and they have the same person. So wake up people people are trying to kill our kids trying to kill all the people they can. Don't you get it we're in a spiritual warfare they will do whatever it takes to take anybody's life wake up your kids can die. Better check what they're smoking... I wouldn't be getting any weed or anything from no store.. it's a bunch of crocker bulshit.. don't you understand it's all set up. We are in Revelation prophecy please someone out there tell me they get it.
I'm recovering from this it's a real thing and a horrible experience.
It completely ruined my life
I being using high THC for a very long time... I dont have any problem or know someone with that problem... Still an interesting article...
I had never heard about this syndrome before suffering from it either, nor did anyone I knew personally. But the ER doctors I saw after vomiting 8+ hours straight luckily did
Yea I want more proof other than the person is a cannabis user and they don't see anything else wrong. That's a bit of a stretch for me...I've been sick never known why but also didn't smoke. So idk about this quite yet. I smoke I have epilepsy I started smoking for my nausea and to help me eat. It's been a complete game changer for me. I guess some people could be maybe more prone to having a bad reaction to maybe too much? Idk
It’s very interesting the way it can effect some people & not others! My boyfriend & Dad have been heavy smokers their whole life & haven’t had an issue with it! I only smoked heavily for about 3/4 years before i got it. It picks & chooses who it affects
I knew a person who mentally lost it. He was an older gentleman who has smoked since he was a kid. He was 60 and smoking the newer strong THC for the last few years. He became a paranoid pyschotic maniac and even threatened others and was arrested many times. He ate healthy and drank enough water, but this once calm deadhead flipped out. He supposedly didn't quit, but has significantly slowed down his consumption according to a friend of his. I stopped contact with him because he became so crazy and do not trust him whether or not he'll freak out again.
She self diagnosed soo....
I had this for years and I finally figured it out. It comes from using an unclean bong. When I started to daily clean it ,the nausea which was present all the time went away. I was hospitalized 4 times for dehydration due to the bouts of vomiting from being nauseous all the time. I figured it out in my own that it was due to smoking from unclean bongs. I stopped for a month and then slowly started back but made sure i cleaned it daily and I havent had the issue for 5 yrs. Make sure youre smoking with clean equipment is one place to start. Not saying it's the cure for everyone but I would start there before believing it's some mystery cannabis disease. YMMV
Have people stopped taking the vaxxine?
Or are they still taking it.
I know the stuff is still being allowed but are people taking it?
This makes sense lol
Yea no I don't even use a bong and have it
Bongwater heats up and then sits around, sometimes for days. Probably get mosquitoes if left unattended. Bound to get some kind of scuzz in there. Mold likes warm damp places.
And bam here you go! Ty for sharing!
I have smoked every day for 22 years. Never had a issue once. Strange that as soon as the government gets their hands on it problems start showing up
Its probably the weed shops selling all these new high thc modified strains
I suffer from CVS , I self diagnosed. The side effects are high prices and long receipts. I told my doctor about it and he said I heard of it and yelled confirmed.
I was diagnosed with CHS few years back, could not use cannabis... ended up in ER vomiting non stop. I did quit for ~6 months, tried again and it was fine.
I was using various strains so it was not a bad batch.... but hey, I got over it :)
No one cares
@whyohwhy555 you really shouldn't be so hard on yourself.. you need to work on your self esteem
Me too. A few months ago, I'd get severe headaches from weed. I abstained for about a week, and now - as in right now- I'm toking, fear mongers be damned.

People die of alcohol every day. Cannabis- some people may not feel so good in extreme cases of eating too many Doritos
Now THATS A FACT!
Spot on 😂
I'm not saying alcohol shouldn't be addressed too - not made illegal - but just because alcohol has it's own problems doesn't mean this very real condition shouldn't be recognized so people don't have to suffer. Lots of people have done serious and permanent damage and some have died. Whataboutism does no one any favors.
I love your comment😄 Too much! Slow down, folks. Start with the basics and be mindful. Try eating too much of any vegetable and see what happens. You'll get sick from that too.
People die of weed everyday too. Stop acting like weed is safe. No recreational drug use is safe
Developed this after 20 years of smoking. Happened about 10 different times/ER visits to realize what it was.
How long after you quit did symptoms start to go away?
Been smoking for decades and I still play soccer every weekend and go for runs take my children to the park. I’m as healthy as a horse!!
Good for you... obviously you are not an EXCESSIVE CONSUMER of cannabis!
Has anyone seen the bacteria that is spreading to every pot farm in the US? Wasn't around until it started messing with big pharmas money. They want to push all those pills that cause 20 or more negative side effects. It's ridiculous you see the commercials live free from this disease but deal with stomach pain, rashes seizures migraines and on and on i have never met a single person who threw up for a week and was deathly ill from smoking/eating marijuana and boy have we smoked and ate tons and tons of it. If 20 percent of people are effected by it that is 20 people out of 100 and been to multiple day venues with literally thousands of people smoking the only people throwing up and sick were the ones drinking like fish not eating among using other drugs. Anyone 2ho says they have this stop taking any other medication and only smoke bet your "problem" just disappears. Marijuana has been used for 1000s of years worse side effect it's had on anyone I know is a trip to jail court Costs and empty snack cabinet.

I can’t think of a worse illness. Please never let me catch it.

Then don’t dab 6 times a day. You will be only “catch it” by doing it to yourself.
@bybassman1842 I've seen ppl do dabs and shatter, and I'm like uhh no thanks, it looks like you're doing meth or crack.
If you had more than two brain cells it certainly wouldn’t be hard to think of a worse illness, lol.

Thanks for pointing out the rates of alcohol and tobacco related illnesses too. Anything used in excess is problematic.
and what is more problematic is one person telling another what they are allowed to ingest, use, or enjoy.
Did anyone have their gallbladder removed before the doctors realized it was actually CHS?
This happened to me. I was officially diagnosed with CHS a few months ago. In and out of the ER, heavy daily smoker(indica sativa/ blunts/ joints/ dabbing/ all of it) I would wake up having anxiety and vomiting non stop randomly. I’d quit smoking for a few weeks-months sometimes and i’d start smoking again and feel great and then bam 3 weeks go by and the cycle would start all over again. ER wouldn’t find anything and the only thing that would help me was if I quit smoking. It felt like withdrawal symptoms quitting and after 2 weeks i’d feel completely normal again. I’m now 3 months clean and just can’t smoke anymore. I still advocate it! Should be legalized 100% but my body is just one those that can’t deal with it anymore unfortunately. 😔
Same thing was happen to me I even got to the point I couldn't sleep I'm two weeks clean and I feel amazing
OH YOUR JUST TRYING TO 🛑 STOP CANNABIS USE IS WHAT THE IDIOTS WILL SAY OH WELL NOW YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN AND DON'T TALK ABOUT THE STROKE AND CARDIAC RISK TOO 😒😒😒
So what was too much for you
@@dlight2669 it wasn't too much for them or that they couldn't handle it it was that it is being a homegrown now by the big government who God knows what they put in it or use in pesticides fertilizer who knows especially if you're buying it from your guy up the road it's not like you get an ingredient list
Yeah you shouldn't smoke
Remember when they told the now 104 yr old lady to stop drinking dr pepper when she was like 60. Her response was "all the doctors who told me to stop drinking dr pepper are dead, i outlived them"
meanwhile in America alone 250 people died today from alcohol related illness. 90,000 a year.
Hopefully this leads them to study cannabis more :-)
This happened to me as well , was in the hospital for about a week or 2 doing multiple test , getting poked with needles etc it was traumatizing since they didn’t know what was wrong with me they made a big deal with cps etc… anyways I had CHS !!!! It’s real and can happen to you even if you think it won’t
The scariest part is not having a diagnosis. I first experienced it in 2008 i thought I was dying because my entire body went numb....my ER Dr told me to smoke more because it did make it feel better temporarily.
Two year later I finally got a diagnosis from my pot head buddy and a year later ERs started to acknowledge it even existed.
@@EricK-tb2dn WTF is CPS and CHS?? Why ASSUME everyone knows??
@@HeronPoint2021 I assume the people that comment watch the video first

I have this too, I'm glad this is finally getting exposer!
This happened to my daughter. She started smoking marijuana everyday many times a day and there was nothing I could do. She was going over her friend's house and they all did it too. She got violently ill one day and had to be taken away in the ambulance. I of course just assume the doctors would figure out what's wrong with her. She was throwing up non-stop,All of her lab work was off and yet the doctors could not figure out what was wrong with her. She couldn't eat. She was throwing up.She was wasting away there in the hospital bed for 5 days and still no diagnosis. I was desperately searching online and I'm the one who had to beg the doctors to believe me of what I thought it was. I even had to beg them to give her haldol which I looked up is what they give these people. They looked mad at me and upset but one of them finally listened and gave her haldol. Within a half hour she was doing better and could sip on some fluids, before then she would throw up anything and had to be given her nutrition through an IV. That's when they diagnosed her with CHS.
She was probably allergic to dairy
This happened to me too but, I stopped consuming dairy and meat problems solved
So how much was too much for your daughter
They gave her an antipsychotic and it helped?
@@1TruGODreality seriously??
A nurse once told me that's what I had, when in the ER I told I don't smoke daily. Dr diagnosed me with diverticulitis after cat scan. Told the nurse off. Just because someone smokes occasionally doesn't allow you to judge!
You might heal some of your health issues if you heal your defensive nature. There's nothing wrong with a nurse trying to give information about possible health conditions. The cortisol in your blood is way more toxic, it triggers autoimmune conditions like that. Constant exposure by your own toxic thought patterns will only worsen your health. This will probably offend you. Some are conscious others aren't, duality and all we need it, I suppose.
Don't spend more than a few minutes thinking about this if it's offensive. It will only worsen your health. If it helps good for you. I once was very offended by something someone said, I can't remember anything about this person... I was so offended. What they said changed my life though. Try it sometime.
@@i..am..it's called stoicism!
I had to take my best friend to the ER the other day. He had the same exact symptoms. They even said his symptoms were caused by smoking too much
I suffered from CHS for a little over a year after smoking for 10 years with no issues. I was in and out of hospitals and specialists but never got a solid answer about why I was so sick. I was miserable and depressed because I couldn't do anything and was missing out on life with my family. Finally, about 10 months in, a new doctor at the ER suggested that it might be CHS. At the time, I hadn't heard of it and shrugged it off. 2 months later, I eventually grew so tired of being sick all the time that I decided "What would it hurt to quit for a while and see if what that one doctor said was actually true?". A week later, I was feeling better. I wasn't 100% yet but it was a major improvement to what I was dealing with for the past year. I haven't smoked in 2 years now and I'm doing relatively great. Not smoking made me realize that I had some other massive stuff going on with my body that I never noticed because the marijuana was covering it up. I'm still on medication because my esophogus was so badly damaged that it doesn't control my stomach acid very well anymore and I also lost all my top teeth and some of my bottom back teeth because the constant sickness eroded them past the point of repair but I'll take that over dealing with CHS again.
I'm still pro-marijuana but smokers need to know that this CAN happen and to know the signs before it's too late.
So sometimes I wake up an gag in the morning then I take a dab an it goes away it doesn't happen often I do feel anxiety sometimes waking up so I thought maybe it's that cuz I'm typically like that when I feel a gag coming on
Meth
It wasn't the weed
@@petefogel2133right these mfs are weak and use other drugs but green out on weed and now in Facebook groups crying
Not trying to judge but we’re you doing More than weed? I’m truly trying to understand…🤔
This has been such a bummer. I developed stomach pains and GI issues. Yet it manages my arthritis so well. And sleep! Quite the conundrum. I’m able to still consume, but have to be careful as I can become toxic more easily.
I think sometimes it's an allergy to certain strains. I love all the new strains out there, but sometimes you have to keep it simple and get back to the basics.
Maybe Cannabis should be legal at the federal level and then it can be regulated properly
Even if "regulated" there are savvy traps along the path.
Cannabis is properly regulated and tested for any chemicals in states where it's legal. It's the untested homegrown I'd worry about.
Absolutely!
I got chs and I did not know I had it. I smoked weed for 30 years everyday. My chs came about 3 years ago. The first thing that happened was I was smoking a spliff, and halfway through smoking the spliff, I had very bad nausea, stomach pains and stomach cramps and I then vomited, i didn't understand why i vomited so I continued to smoke. 3 months before this happened. My marriage broke down and I was missing my children so much I could not cope, so I was already in a bad state of depression and not sleeping or eating much. I continue to smoke after this first bout of vomiting. After this first bout of vomiting, i could not eat food, and my insomnia kicked in very badly. Maybe I'm just eating two spoons of my dinner per day, and maybe 2 to 3 hours of sleep a night. I continue to smoke weed. I worked through this whole period doing manual labour, and somehow my body was still functioning, and I felt strong even with lack of sleep and hardly eating food. I was functioning on Coca-Cola, Lucozade, and spliffs. Basically I was ill for 6 months and continue to smoke without knowing the reason for my sickness. 6 months later, I hit a brick wall, and my body started to shut down. I went from 17 and a half stone down to 12 stone in 6 months. I started getting stomach cramps, stomach pain, vomiting from time to time, gastro problems, hypnic jerks when trying to sleep, Tinnitus in the ears. once I did fall to sleep then I woke up with tremors. Muscle spasms. Muscle stiffness. Muscle pain. Bone pain. Muscle spasms in my back . Found it hard to walk. Numbness down my legs. Vomiting, nausea.Waking up with numbness in my arms and hands. Anxiety, Muscle spasms in my throat, throat tightening every time I lie down to try to sleep. Constipation, Haemorrhoids. I could not urinate properly. The Muscle spasms in my throat when I try to lie down were causing my throat to close. All this time, i was going to the doctor's and getting nothing back from the doctors with regards to why I was getting all these symptoms. The doctor was offering me muscle relaxant tablets but I could not take them because they made a lot of my symptoms worse. the doctor was telling me to sleep sitting up due to my throat closing when lying down. They sent me for every check-up you could imagine and found nothing about the causes of my sickness. They did find I had developed a hiatus hernia. As more time went past, the muscle spasms in my throat got so bad that I could not smoke because my throat started to close when standing or sitting. This obviously stopped me from smoking. My anxiety and depression were so bad from missing my kids and all the symptoms from the chs and I was still not diagnosed. I felt like I was dying. My nervous system was in a very bad way. I was researching everywhere and came across CHS. I then took this to the doctor, and they diagnosed me with CHS. I continue to work through this whole period. Looking back, I do not know how I got through. But I think the continuous moving of the body was helping me somehow. I started to eat a little better and slowly slowly I started to put my weight back on. After 1 year of me sleeping sitting up I was finally able to lie down without my throat going into spasms so I could lay down I started to sleep a little better slowly slowly. It's been 2 and a 1/2 years since stopping smoking. After 1 year, I was still in a very bad way, with many symptoms still remaining. After about a year and a half they found a 7 mm polyp which they cut out of my stomach. Through this whole period of me being sick with chs i had found having hot baths with Epsom salts was helping me a great deal. Putting warm olive oil all over my muscles was also helping. Drinking bone broth also helped a lot. After 2 years, my haemorrhoids started to calm down. I was able to go to the toilet better. Both urinating and pooing. It's been 2 and 1/2 years, and I still have tinnitus in the ears and spasms in my back and back pain, but it's nothing like the spasms and back pain I had before. I'm still suffering a little bit with insomnia. And when I wake from sleep, my arms and hands still go numb and numbness down the outside of my right leg mainly my knee and thigh. The biggest help I have found in my healing period was through cranial therapy. When I start to feel quite good, sometime I would try to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes. Drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes seems to bring back some symptoms. I tried to drink sometimes to test my body. But then I realised I could not drink. Same with smoking cigarettes. Some symptoms start to come back. I have come to the realisation that I can not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes. And obviously cannot smoke cannabis for the rest of my life. Even standing next to someone who is smoking a spliff affects me. I was always a very fit and strong individual and felt invincible. But this whole experience has humbled me. Please look after yourself and your health mentally and physically. The one good thing I can see about CHS is that if you stop smoking weed and live a healthy life it can go away. As I said I still have some symptoms. But I feel like if I look after myself hopefully I pray to God that all my symptoms will eventually go away. it is possible that there is damage done that cannot be repaired from but I am very thankful and go forward with a positive mindframe. It is very good to see that there is information out there for people to find. It did not occur to me to go on RUclips and type in chs back then. But even the videos on RUclips here do not talk about half my symptoms. I obviously took chs to the Brim. And maybe I'm very lucky. But it is very good to see there is information out there and people are learning more and more everyday about CHS. If you feel you have CHS the beginner of CHS or you feel you have had it for a while please stop smoking now. Go and seek help. As I said the best thing that I found helped me was cranial therapy and God. God bless you all out there, peace 🙏
Your symptoms sound alot like mine, problem is not alot of people believe me its from the weed, even my sister who is a nurse can't figure out my symptoms, I'm curious before you got sick did you just smoke more of the same bud or get some new stuff, was it medical? Alot of the new strains are genetically altered to produce a higher yeild, things like auto flowering & feminized seeds/strains may be causing these complex problems with cannabinod receptors/nervous system/thyroid system
@dan3nad I started smoking a New Strand I had never smoked before. I think it took me about 4 years to come back to some sort of normality after i stoped smoking. It's funny you send me this message now. Because the Wednesday just gone I relapse for the first time in 4 years. Was drinking alcohol and I smoked maybe a quarter of a spliff. I felt things started to go wrong, so I decided to try and walk home. I could not make it home I collapsed to the floor on the streets and I was struggling to breathe. I was not unconscious but I could not raise my head and I did not have control over my limbs. Someone had spotted me on the floor. it was 1:00 a.m and they called a ambulance for me. The ambulance done tests on me and found that my oxygen level was very low. And my blood pressure was very low. I was also highly dehydrated. They put me on oxygen put me on a drip. Drive me to the hospital. Through the night they gave me about 7 drips. Before every trip they said to me that they will be putting me on a drip getting my blood back up and sending me home. But my blood level was not going back up. that's why they gave me seven drips all in all. Until eventually my blood pressure started to rise and then they let me home about 11:00 am the next day. I've been at home resting up for the past 4 days. My friend if you have CHS I suggest you stop smoking straight away. No ifs or buts. Stop alcohol and stop cigarettes if you drink and smoke. Thank you for reaching out with your reply. Take care of yourself and God bless you.
@dan3nad my friend, you have to stop drinking alcohol completely. You must not smoke cigarettes. It took me about 3 and a half years to be able to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes. I'm not joking. The CHS has affected your nervous system. I believe CHS damages the vagus nerve, which affects your whole digestive system. Your muscular system and affects the whole body from functioning properly. Your body could take years to recover. it's a very slow process. Through my time of recovery, I had many setbacks, meaning I would try to smoke a cigarette or drink alcohol and symptoms would come back. My friend tried to understand you can not do anything to do with affecting the brain, as in smoking or drinking or any other drugs. You need a life change. It's not easy. But your body would not allow you to do anything like this. You will get sick. Try and find someone who is very good with many years of experience in cranial therapy. This will help your recovery system speed up. Try to do light exercises like swimming or walking. And definitely do not do any heavy exercise. Only drink water. Try not to eat too much red meat. And eat foods high in fibre. Try to find bone broth and drink it. CHS symptoms will not come from you smoking weed only. All those that will make you the sickest, cigarettes and alcohol and any other drug will affect you. Sometimes, prescription drugs can affect you as well. You need to understand in your mind that you are sick. But you can get well if you stay away from all types of drugs and alcohol. It will take time for you to get rid of symptoms. Now, I have stopped smoking again, and i have stopped drinking alcohol again. Try to keep yourself going to the toilet regularly , by that I mean doing a poo. Try to keep a positive mind. Stress will make your symptoms worse. Depression will make your symptoms worse. You need to get your vagus nerve working properly. Stress and depression do not help the vagus nerve. You will be ok. If you stay away from all these things drugs alcohol etc. Change your life for the better. In time you see the benefits. But when you feel like you are well. Do not go backwards. Because your symptoms will come back. Try to be happy try to laugh. Make sure you get sleep. The body recovers best when sleeping. Just relax and understand it will take time for your body to get back to normal. But it may never get back to complete normal because you will not be able to do any type of drugs. My friend anytime you have any questions please ask. Take care of yourself. Your battle right now is in your mind. Understand what's wrong. Understand what you need to be doing, and he will be ok. Your body needs to recover do not put unnecessary stress on it. God bless you
I have found CHS has damaged my vagus nerve. This is some information I found on the internet about a damaged vagus nerve. The symptoms I had with my CHS mirror damaged vagus nerve. A damaged vagus nerve can cause a range of symptoms because the nerve affects many areas of the body:
Digestive issues: Acid reflux, bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, or feeling full after eating little
Voice changes: Hoarseness, wheezing, or loss of voice
Chronic coughing: Vagus nerve damage can cause chronic coughing.
Pain in the throat: Vagus nerve damage can cause pain in the throat
Swallowing and gag reflex: Difficulty swallowing or loss of gag reflex
Heart and blood pressure changes: Changes in heart rate or blood pressure, or low blood pressure
Dizziness or fainting
damage to the vagus nerve can affect sleep patterns:
Low vagal tone
Low vagal tone can lead to sleep disturbances, insomnia, fatigue, and other physiological symptoms of depression. Other symptoms: Unexplained weight loss, brain zaps, or impending doom
Mood changes: Depression, anxiety, or chronic mood issues
damage to the vagus nerve can affect the bowels:
damage to the vagus nerve can cause muscle twitching
damage to the vagus nerve can cause tinnitus, or ringing in the ears. The vagus nerve sends sensory feedback signals that help with hearing, and when the nerve is damaged or compressed, these signals can become incorrect or blocked.
damage to the vagus nerve can affect muscles in the larynx, pharynx, and other parts of the body:
damage to the vagus nerve can cause numbness, tingling, or other sensory symptoms:
Gastroparesis
When the vagus nerve is damaged, food may not move from the stomach to the intestines.
Poor digestion
When the vagus nerve isn't working properly, the stomach may not produce enough acid to digest food. This can lead to bloating, cramping, diarrhea, constipation, or gastro-esophageal reflux.
Digestive conditions
Poor vagal nerve function can be linked to digestive conditions such as:
Heartburn, acid reflux, or GERD
IBS, including chronic constipation and diarrhea
Inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis
SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)
damage to the vagus nerve can cause unexplained weight loss.
The vagus nerve is part of the autonomic nervous system, which controls unconscious bodily functions like sweating, breathing, and digestion. It's also part of the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps the body calm down after a stressful situation.
The first thing to combat CHS is to stop smoking straight away. Do not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol. Drink plenty of water. Eat foods high in fibre. Start straight away by trying to strengthen the vagus nerve.
There are several ways to strengthen or stimulate the vagus nerve, including:
Breathing
Deep, slow, diaphragmatic breathing can activate the vagus nerve. You can try belly breathing, where your stomach expands as you inhale.
Cold therapy
Applying cold compresses to your face or neck, or taking a cold shower, can stimulate the vagus nerve.
Massage
Massaging the back of your ears and the front side of your ear can stimulate the vagus nerve. You can also try carotid sinus massage, which involves lightly massaging the carotid artery in your neck.
Exercise
Endurance activities like jogging, cycling, and swimming can stimulate the vagus nerve.
Diet
Eating a whole-foods diet, and taking probiotics or omega-3 fatty acids, can support the vagus nerve.
Meditation
Meditation can improve vagal tone.
Singing and humming
Singing and humming can increase vagal tone.
Positive social connections
Spending time with people who make you laugh and smile can have a positive benefit on vagal tone. I have found cranial therapy helps a great deal. I hope this information can help you whoever has taken the time to read this. God bless you all
It happened to me in January😢
I believe it was the high dose gummies, it's not from smoking! Never had that issue when smoking...
Edibles are a different beast. Especially if you are just buying from someone. You really don't know how many mg are in home Edibles. I have a card. So I know exactly each dose. I know what I can handle.
I agree it's the edibles. Maybe not control of what's all in it. Stick with natural.
@@girl_who_loves_cats I've had homemade edibles from a friend and edibles I bought from a dispensary in Vegas and the edibles in Vegas fucked me up so bad I felt like I was dying. And it was only 100mg
You never had that problem until the government supplied the weed
Some of that is super strong I'll say that
I've had CHS before, years ago. I was smoking and vaping every day. Soon i started having tons of issues with chills, constipation, nausea, etc. Once i stopped, the symptoms started to go away.
Wow "Mike" that sounds so cool and true! Tell us more real things! Do we give up all our rights next? What do you think?

@@Witnessretire I don't have any problem with people using weed. I'm just stating the issue I had with it, coming from someone who smoked for yeeaaaars. CHS is definitely a real thing. No substance is totally safe. Just gotta be responsible and recognize some of the issues that can arise from it.
Crazy how the drugs turn sour when the gov gets involved...
Drugs have always been sour
I went through CHS 3 different times the 3rd time was it for me I had nausea so bad for 3 days I couldn't move at all the pain in my stomach was terrible it took me 2 weeks to get my stomach right again I quit pot in February and I haven't had any issues with my stomach since then and I feel great and have a great appetite again I feel bad for anyone that has to go through CHS I felt like I was going to die!

@@Assets_TV yes that's worded better
Not sure about "overduing" anything unless you are in bad shape with bills or old library books, however pot heads will always find a reason to justify getting high and polluting other people's air with that cat urine smell. I am 54, never done any drugs, smoked pot, or drank and enjoy my life just fine but resent the hell out of having to smell that reek everywhere now. I have zero problem with medical use, but hate that life long pot smokers can't see how they look and sound to others when they blaze every day and are so convinced it's done nothing to their mental faculties. Like every other addiction their lives revolve around when they can get high next. Do your thing, but people shouldn't act like Marijuana use doesn't have harmful side effects because just like alcohol and cigarettes it does. Also, most people hate seeing people smoke cigarettes around children, what about pot? Contact highs? Hmmm
@@christinapatterson6371 I agree with most of what you are saying there for sure. Had I not done it for most of my life I know I would be a lot sharper and a lot less lazy honestly. It is pretty amusing to hear big time pot smokers say things like nothing's wrong with me lol
Exactly.
There's actually a simple term for the condition... It's called an "anxiety attack". People who have smoked for decades have experienced the same thing with much less potent marijuana. You just need to sip on some water, breathe and don't get high when you have important things to do.
Dillon...I suffered through chemo. You have no clue what it's like. There's no sip of water or breathing going to take away the endurment of the sickness. I wished that breathing and water would work. JS
That’s chemo, this is not

@@shynanagains gotcha!
Do not compare these people with yourself and the hardships that you've gone through. There's no reason that they need to use these substances so heavily. It's medicine they use it like it's alcohol
That is very interesting. I started smoking when I was 14 and quit smoking almost 2 years ago. Never had this issue. And I smoked every. Single. Day. Right when I woke up too... maybe i did it so much I became part weed
Facts! 😂
@adam stawiarski I do wish I started a little later because I think it made me slpw to mature. Man that is messed up. I had a friend that started drinking when he was 9. He was an alcoholic all through middle and high school. It was his dickhead brother that got him into drugs at such a young age. I havent seen him since highschool. I hope he got clean. Kids got it hard they need to choose their friends wisely because their decisions can determine the rest of their life.
Just because it didn’t affect you doesn’t mean it doesn’t affect other people. I developed this illness after only 6 months of smoking, my dad on the other hand has been smoking for 45 years and never developed it. That’s like saying cigarettes don’t give you cancer because you never got cancer from smoking. Not everything is about you.
Have you had your Weedies, this morning?
I’m 52…. Been smoking since I was 14…
I was todayyears old when I’ve ever heard of CHS……. When I heard her say “ I diagnosed myself “ that was enough for me.
I was diagnosed by a doctor
I have always had CHS... and it affected me even though I didn't use high doses
I smoked everyday for 15+ years and one day woke up vomiting it lasted for 3 days before I had to go to the hospital. I was in the hospital for a week vomiting and not being able to keep anything down. This happen to me over the course of 2 years as I had a problem with drinking and smoking and thought it was the drinking. I finally quit for 6 months and have been back smoking for a year and nothing has happened. I also quit drinking. Alcohol definitely triggers whatever tf is happening.
Hollie..maybe you hot a bad batch. You have to be careful of who you purchase from. It has never made me sick. Sorry that happened to you.
@@kathybarker4496 i only got sick or light headed what not when i buy from the streets now its straight from the shp
I went through the same thing. I used to smoke 5-10 times a day lots of weed and ended up going through this. It’s real. That’s why I preach about how weed isn’t the same anymore. I’m currently 1 year sober from weed.
GTFOH this didn’t start happening until y’all start putting out them taxing azz dispensaries smh
Which corresponds with the high percentages now in thc. There's tons of stuff to blame the government for but not sure this is it.
@@beepboop9464 Nah dispensaries don't sell quality products. At least where I am, ascend dispensery is notorious for only pushing for profit. All this garbage they are selling is unacceptable for these prices. They even sell fking trimmings. FKING TRIMMINGS.
No. We had couple patients in our ICU periodically several years back. None of the meds were had did much to suppress the nausea and vomiting. I think the patients just had to endure while things cleared out of the system. The shower thing appeared to help them which is super weird.
Nah bro I never Vaped just use to smoke about 6 blunts a day and I got it!
Canabanoid hyperemisis. My son had it at 18, long before weed was legal. Its a super rare condition but it happens. Seen by dozens of doctors, none of them had ever heard of this condition. Luckily one dr we saw had heard of it. My son would vomit over and over. Only hot showers would calm his stomach( hot water on back of neck to sooth hypothalamus). He lost half his body weight and we thought he would die at one point. Terrifying.
If people only knew...its a nightmare. Iv suffered with this too. when I would have an episode I would be vomiting every 20-30 minutes with intense abdominal discomfort in between the vomiting that would always last for at least 24 hours and sometimes up to 48 hours straight. Like your son, the ONLY thing that brought some relief would be a hot shower. On days this would happen I would literally take 10-15 showers. I would get in and stay in until the hot water ran out. Then I would get out just long enough for the hot water to heater to heat up and get back in. The showers didnt stop my vomiting but it somehow brought relief. When I first started experiencing this I would end up going to the ER but I learned it was pointless bc they never could do anything to help relieve my symptoms and didnt know what was causing it.
It's simple. Don't smoke weed. Don't ruin it for everyone who can handle it. Just because it makes some people sick doesn't mean it's bad. Fucking sugar is worse than weed in the long run.
This is called smoking to much nothing more stupid people over use and this dr is a lier I have be using cannabis for 30 years and never had any problems and I smoke pure ThC so this a big lie
@@bugaboo3345glad you got it sorted out man cuz ya, it was a nightmare. Keep spreading the word, obviously not enough doctors know about this.
Canavanoid hyperemesis
That goes to show that whatever stran of cannabis that she was using, probably wasn’t good for her. Can’t blame it on the cannabis. Just like cigarettes people are going to smoke 💨 and I’d rather puff a joint than smoke a cigarette. Everything isn’t for everybody and different grades of THC isn’t for everybody, you choose what is good for you and as of now, it’s been good for me.
Exactly its probably the strain. I had an edible that was so much that I got the same symptoms. But after that I took an another edible with a lower concentration and i was good
Incorrect
I have been in the hospital for 2 days with this. Tons of puke, sweat, pain need of showers
Same thing happened to me
This is real and serious. My son had it and he felt he was going to die. The pain and vomiting was uncontrollable. Hot shower help but only for a little while. You have to stop using period. He couldn't eat lost 40 lbs in 3 weeks we didn't beleive this was real until an ER doctor explained why and how they diagnosis this and once he quit he has been fine.
And of course just a few likes on this comment cuz potheads don't want to face reality
@@ArhunBeyik funny how everyone has a son in the comments lmaoo fake bullshit
@@ArhunBeyik there's some people who can't smoke it. Just like any man made pharmaceutical. If it affects you don't fucking use it. There's no goddamn point in making it a big deal. The people who can and do use it properly have never had a fucking problem with it so leave us out of it and baby the idiots who have negative reactions. Don't take it away from people who can use it. Otherwise start banning every fucking pharmaceutical because in wrong doses or even natural allergy people can't use those so fucking ban them first
@@ArhunBeyik What that some people can react differently to it than others? You know some people die eating a peanut, should we ban those too?

I started developing this. I knew it was the ganj. For me it was different though. My lungs would feel full of mucus and the swallowing of that would cause nausea. I managed this issue for years with intermittent quitting... I'm done for good now though. My body just says no now, I need to respect it. Part of me wonders if it's something they're putting on the medicinal stuff... Wouldn't doubt it one bit. I had a private supply all organic for 20 years, not a single issue and smoking way too much. Then i go from that to a closet smoker on the legal stuff and issues pop up. Nahhh stop doing any drugs if you don't know the source. Something's in the water here...
There's nothing in weed besides weed dude.
It's higher thc and getting older.
No it's the vapes and wax did you consume vapes and wax more Cigarettes also not good to smoke if ur already smoking marijuana look it's common sense we were all told cigs are not good for us, I noticed this from hitting pens and other vapes and some wax, But Chronic use of anything tho is not good for anyone hell too much fruit will give you cancer, ppl need to just learn not to abuse it, I myself am even guilty of this not really anymore but I use to smoke entirely too much but if your only smoking at night are in the evening not every evening lol and I'm not trying to talk down to anyone here I think we should just have a open and honest conversation about it here.
You’re absolutely right! They don’t wanna hear it tho… it’s legal for a reason now.
Another commenter has questioned if people get sick from pesticides/herbicides on the plant. Sounds possible.
and the air... and the food. its called forever chemicals.
Smoking weed for 10 years never been sick neither has my dad, mom, grandma, grandpa, etc
As s forty yr pot smoker I have never gotten ill or ever met anyone who did.
This happened to me!!!!!! I was going through a very tough time, was NOT eating whatsoever.. but WAS smoking multiple multiple times a day to eventually make me sleepy bc all I wanted to do was sleep my depression away.. (my way of coping with things) and this was happening for a long period of time. Hitting bongs everyday, and literally eating nothing .. I ended up in the hospital with CHS. Non stop vomiting , Had to be attached to IV, horrible feeling. It’s a real thing guys, be careful out there and remember.. everything in moderation! Everything is about balance!!!!
i didnt know it had to be explained, people who do it with alcohol know but they dont have it on the bottle? Isnt that self control and not the herb itself? genuinely curious
@@WelcomeToCostcoILoveYou absolutely. That’s my point. Too much of anything isn’t good. I was definitely abusing it due to the situation I was in. And it ended me in a bad spot health wise. That’s why I say balance is everything.
@@vcgomeez I’m sorry if it felt like a call out I meant could the issue with the news report be more in favor of blaming weed itself more than the compulsion of the patient. Or is it more the weed itself
@@WelcomeToCostcoILoveYou no no it’s okay, and could be both as the news likes to fabricate a lot of stuff, but this probably comes down more to the amount of consumption the user is taking as when you smoke a bit of weed here and there, everything is okay. This happens more to someeee chronic users, who literally smoke daily and have been doing so for a very very longgg time.
This literally happened in to my sister. She kept smoking every 2 hours without eating not even breakfast. A bong rip was basically her breakfast everyday. She developed CHS and was in the hospital for 2 weeks. It seems to be the fragile, lower body weight people that CHS affects more before I don’t see overweight people really developing CHS.
I went a week without smoking and smoked as if I hadn't quit that long and I went two years every day 3 times a day smoking. And when I went to bed I had really bad paranoia and bad hot flashs, cold sweats, waist down shaking uncontrollably, my heart was racing twice as fast, and I thought I was melting from the inside out. I almost went to the doctors but slept it off and symptoms were gone by morning. I literally thought I OD and I was going to die. Have not smoked since and that was May 28. I'm terrified to smoke again. I've never had paranoia before ever. I'm 22 and the strain was cherry Gelato. I thought it was laced but my boyfriend and brother smoked about the same without a break like me and they were perfectly fine. So I took it as a panic attack.
Early menopause
I agree with the paranoia bit. It wasn't as severe as you described but it was one of the reasons I stopped smoking Marijuana as well. After smoking I wouldn't get high anymore but rather go to dark places and have terrible thoughts and/or dreams. My sister started smoking about a decade after I quit and she started having severe mental issues. She has been struggling with them for the past 8/9 years now. On and off meds, quitting then smoking again. It's only in the last couple of months where she's accepted her condition, quit weed and takes her medication seriously. We haven't had a relapse or episode in a year, I think. Which is tremendous progress. Over the last 8 years we were guaranteed at least two periods a year where she would go off the rails. She even has a job now.
I smoked weed from 1997 til 2008 all of a sudden it started making me paranoid smh I used to love smoking
Nah that's not weed girl you prolly on something else lol
Yall doing more then pot. This literally happens to people who try to use weed after hard drugs
Interestingly this became a thing, AFTER legalization in majority of states. Yet, YETTTT alcohol is just "meh". I'm glad my body doesn't react to weed this badly. My empathy goes out to those who have CHS
yeah i wish they would care about alcohol like this
So basically the doctor just agreed with you to get you out his office. What a bunch of crock. She was just dehydrated. You have to stay well hydrated when smoking that’s just the bottom line.
That may be what I had when I was living in NYS and I was diagnosed with chrons disease. I'm healed and no longer scarred by the effects of it anymore.
I was almost diagnosed with Chrohns. I had to be tested. It ended up being CHS.
Chohns makes you 💩 a lot 😂
I had these issues about 6 months ago. I would smoke about 4 blunts a day. More often at work. I wouldn't feel high usually after 30 minutes. So i would increase my use. When one day i was smoking. I felt dizzy and fuzzy. At first im like " im just really high." Then my legs started to shake uncontrollably. I was looking into it. I found an article that weed or cannabis can cause maddive panic attacks. That cause mass amounts of adrenaline into the blood. By time ems got there i had calmed down. But the experience didn't get me down. I just ignored it. Rolled a blunt and didn't touch it all day. I took two hits and the same symptoms started again but they were worse. It was harder to breathe. My heart felt like it was exploding in my chest. My stomach hurt and i just couldn't stand up without getting so light headed. I called ems and they told me that i need to stop smoking since i can not handle my weed. I started doing more research while smoking. The last time i smoked before quitting. I took two hits out of a one hitter. I stood up. Then i fell back down. It felt like someone just punched me in the chest so hard it hurt. I laid down and started to talk myself through it. My veins felt like bloons then they just popped. Like my body just started shaking uncontrollably. My chest was hurting also. I struggled to call 911 because my hands started go not respond to me. I couldn't move them straight. Ems gets there i get the courage to open the door. When i open the door. I couldn't see anymore. My vision was blurry like pictures but the camera was out of focus. The EMS treated me like i was having a bad time on the weed. They were like " we see this all the time. You are fine. Just quit smoking" Im still shaking so they check my blood pressure. 268/220 heart rate 128 resting and getting higher. The beeping on the machine was so loud. I thought it was normal. The EMS was in disbelief over my results. He claimed his machine was wrong. Then manual checked my blood pressure. It was reading about the same. "Yup, this guy is having a stroke."
I have heard of this. I used to eat multiple cheeseburgers a day and I was mysteriously getting fat. I finally figured out that maybe I shouldn't eat so many cheeseburgers and then I go better.
Doesn’t surprise me in the least. As a retired nurse, no substance is without side effects or possible allergic reactions.
We must be accountable for things we consume this goes along with being competent of self care and understand too much of anything is can make you addicted so know when not to consume to much and keep track of what your consuming because everyone needs to be aware of their own intake or consumption of things ❤🎉
Commenting too much can be highly addictive too
Yes. Too much of anything can make you addicted and even sick, even too much of a natural food. Moderation is key, even of anything that is good.
Thank you Rad
I had a vomiting syndrome for years after a severe gastrointestinal infection. I was diagnosed with chs. However, my vomiting episodes didn’t stop until I stopped seeing doctors and going to the ER. My last episode was when I got the second Moderna shot over two years ago.
Did you have CHS or CVS
@@skeekeedee I don’t know.
Me too after the 4th covid vax. The bivalent
My son died from CHS..
he always said “it’s just weed Mom”..
Yeah
No one is going to believe me so I wish ALL good luck.
I believe you, because I almost died.
Please Holy Spirit wrap Your loving Arms around this person in Jesus Christ Name i ask and pray Amen and Amen 🙏
She dont even look like a weed user, they just be putting anybody on the news😂
One of my nieces just got diagnosed with a cannabis related illness. Throwing up for days cold chills. Her mother, my sister whose a nurse had never even heard of this illness. I had to google the illness. Apparently it's been happening since about 2018
that's when it became well known. It's been happening for many years
@@skeekeedee cannabis hyperemesis syndrome is what the Dr diagnosed her with.
@@towandacarter7277 You said its been happening since 2018 - after talking about not knowing about it. I took that to mean that CHS has been happening to people since 2018. Maybe you meant happening to your niece since then?
@skeekeedee her Dr said this was a fairly new thing
@@towandacarter7277 It’s only been known about understood recently. My brother first started getting episodes in 1999. I figured it out in 2005 - Australia had a study on it but the condition hadn’t been named yet. His doctors didn’t recognize it until 2012 but a few had researched it like I had and found the information. I think that’s also around the time it was named. There’s still a good many doctors and health professionals who have never heard of it
My wife has this, it is true it only affects certain people my son uses canibus all the time for his PTSD and he needs it but it doesn't affect him like it does his mom.
Does it make them high?
@@ItsBrittany. yes, but in my wife's case it made her severely ill and not one doctor could figure out what was wrong with her.
Because of the segment on GMA I finally figured out what was wrong with me. I could never understand why I was throwing up, nauseous and had abdominal pain until I saw this. I've been using it since I was in high school and now it comes out when I'm 58 years old. I'm so glad I finally know what it is but it really sucks because mine is medicinal for anxiety and PTSD. It's been a little over a week and the nausea and vomiting have been a little better. I also went to the ER not to long ago and was also told that nothing was wrong with me and sent home.
A little better? Sorry but if didn't fix it you still have something else wrong. This is a cop out diagnosis to put blame on the patient when docs can't do their job and figure it out. I am RN and we used to see this a lot at the hospital and look at each ither and roll our eyes.
They never mentioned the huge numbers of people with the same symptoms who do not smoke !
@wishgodgirl1903 right! I hope it becomes more knowen because the symptoms are terrifying
@markhall3263 get over it, it's reality
@@markhall3263you’re completely wrong. Symptoms don’t automatically go away for everyone. It takes time, just like it takes time for weed to get out of your system.
That’s crazy I had this when I was 13 years old and the doctors had no clue what was wrong with me after 3 weeks of hallucinations they admitted me into the mental hospital for 3 weeks and it still affected me for 10 years after that … and I just found this video today
self-diagnosis sounds like bull crap to me stay high people
I suffer from CVS, it's a stomach thing that is EXACTLY like this.. took a while to get a diagnosis because they thought it was this... But mmj is the only thing that actually helps calm my stomach
Me too
If you're smoking out of a bong or pipe, try cleaning it daily, or switching to joints. The built up resin you keep smoking may be causing it.
What is cvs?
It's a drug store LoL 🤣
Cvs pharmacy
Capsaicin cream to the abdomen helps this, this was going on long before it was legal, used to see it in ER and urgent care.
Capsaicin cream completely stopped my vomiting. I didn't have to go to the ER.
I think its related to the foods we eat. I literally had all the same symptoms and i eat horrible . Ive been smoking for years and this is the first time im eating bad since i got older. I feel like a simple change in diet will provent all this. Do your research and stay healthy !!
Couldnt handle the Loud started spazzing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I may not have MS but I can spot BS real quick! There are a lot of people they need to add to their study, by the way... they forgot to include the research on this... Which researchers were we referring to exactly?
You can bet Kevin Sabet is a friend of them...
I was diagnosed with CHS. After smoking for over 20 years every single day I had to stop. After constantly ending up in hospital for this I couldn’t take it anymore the pain, vomiting,sweats. I’m now 1month without smoking let’s see if it goes away.
Good luck anything for health ❤️
Have you never smoked again? Did you find any solution?
I haven't smoked since I stopped over a year ago. I have no issues,no pain ,I feel good.
Black market cannabis> medical marijuana
Exactly. She diagnosed her self. She went to web MD and made up a diagnosis for herself, so she could feel pity for herself.
And the doctor gaslighted her by saying "Oh you're right!"
Dude everyone with chs is just looking at this comment and cringing lol its most definitely real
