It’s probably different for different people. I smoke a fat bowl every morning, and sometimes a second one at night, and I’m fine. I’ve been smoking for about 40 years. My wife was smoking a gram or two a day for roughly 18 months, and she developed CHS. She took a month long t-break, and the symptoms went away. Now, if she smokes more than once a week, they come back, so she only smokes with me on Monday nights.
Damn, it’s bros first comment after lurking nearly a year and this is what they get? Geeze it’ll probably be another year before they want to comment again.
Can you explain how that’s an attack? Isn’t that just normal pointing out bots? And don’t just lazily spam an ad hominem link, since bots don’t have persons to attack
An account is an inanimate thing… you can’t accuse it of anything.
You are accusing the person controlling the account of running a bot (which you have zero proof for except vibes) instead of addressing their argument.
Its extremely well documented. This is exactly why you shouldnt take medical advice online seriously. It just stems from an over saturation of cannaboid receptors. The same receptors whose antiemetic effects are useful for cancer patients or other nausea prone patients can be reversed by over saturation of the receptor. It can be fixed typically by a period of abstinence that lets the receptors reset, but some people can never really partake again.
I say this as someone who worked as a nursing assistant and used to be an anatomy/biology tutor in college. I also have smoked way more weed than any of you over the past decade. If you havent seen any evidence of this, its because you have no idea how to look.
Raises hand meekly… I do in fact get this if I’ve been consistent for a long-ass time, not necessarily the dose size, but I swear to god you could replace my pen with ipecac and it would be the same experience. That said, long breaks “reset” it for me.
And while I don’t personally know anyone with the same problem, there are thousands of stories both online and IRL for me of “friend of a friend can’t smoke weed anymore because of it”.
I’m super curious now… Are you screaming while vomiting? And this is a different urge than what you feel for a “normal” vomit? Like there is a compulsion to scream while you’re doing it?
Edit: hmmm, no reply. I think this person may have scromitted themselves to death
Depends on the person. Everyone reacts differently to any drug, and cannabis is no different in this respect.
I have friends who consume once or twice per day, any more and they’re not functional enough for the day. I have friends who consume once every few weeks, any more and it causes issues for them.
I consume 2-3g of flower per day, throughout each day, alongside the occasional hashish and edible, and I’ve accomplished a fair bit from an unconditional offer to university for History BA Hons, worked for a US gov contract with the Affordable Care Act, etc. etc. (currently taking a change of direction and getting into a more creative field).
If most people smoked like I do, the last thing they would be doing is reading novels and research articles like myself.
Everyone is different. Really pay attention to how your consumption affects you, and make a sober assessment on whether it’s something that you’re comfortable fitting into your life in the manner in which you consume. The truth that many people don’t say, and this is coming from a consumer of just over two decades, is there are plenty of people for which cannabis is NOT good for, and provides more detriment than benefit.
Listen to your body and mind, is all I can suggest, but if you feel that it doesn’t cause conflicts in your daily living I wouldn’t worry about it. Enjoy the ganja, find something tasty and have a good time :)
Let’s see, wake up, dab, scromit, eat potato, drink coffee, brush teeth, dab, do homework, scromit, go to class, go to work, come home, dab, do more homework, scromit, brush teeth, go to bed.
however the wise and financially savvy toker takes a tolerance break at least once a year to reset tolerance and spend less $. A four week break every year means you’re spending way less to get the same effects
also the wise and financially savvy toker switches from combustion to edibles or dry herb vapes so they stop inhaling hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, benzene, formaldehyde, and other carcinogens with every hit. Each of those are cancerous which is no bueno. Who cares if it’s “better than cigarettes” it’s like saying stabbing yourself with a small knife is better than with a big knife. Also edibles and herb vapes are a lot more efficient so you’ll get a stronger effect for less $
If Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome is real then it’s extremely rare. Just look at People like Willie Nelson or Snoop. Fact is this syndrome was only first described after Colorado legalized cannabis recreationally. So even though many many people smoked just as much before legalization it somehow only became an issue afterward? Anecdotally I know a lot of people who smoke a lot of weed. Personally neither my wife and I have been sober for more than maybe a month in the last decade and a half, and I still smoke a lot more than just half a j at the end of the day. Sometimes if I don’t smoke and I don’t eat I get kinda nauseous. The same thing will happen if I do smoke and I don’t eat. I have/get every illness, if this was a thing I would have it lol
Yeah, legalization widens the sample group of users effectively, which will cause rarer symptoms to appear among people who have sensitivities to things they wouldn’t otherwise have known
Yeah I literally never heard of this before like 2022, and basically every friend I’ve had for the better part of 30 years has been a daily user at some point. This includes dabbing, concentrates, edibles, etc. so it isn’t just a potency thing. These are people who were basically stoned every waking minute of every day in college and early careers. There’s definitely something fishy here.
Incidentally, everyone is doing fine professionally as well. Lawyers, engineers, doctors, entrepreneurs, and so on. So even the previous propaganda of “weed makes you lazy and dumb” is BS too.
I smoked 4 huge cones to the dome today in between vapes. And that’s just joints. I know a lot of people that smoke weed. Never seen this.
I do think it’s propaganda. I’ve seen doctors write people immediately off and blame the weed if they tell the truth. Like people with the fucking flu not taken seriously and told it was smoking weed. Some people will blame all sorts of things if they get sick.
I will say I think my mom gets it. She used to smoke for nausea and sleep, and one day it just didnt help. Found out it was making things worse rather than better, and once she stopped it was gone. Hasn’t felt the desire to touch it since.
Don’t get me wrong, this is likely being way overblown, and I’m a daily dabber myself so I dont want to come across like I support the fear-mongering, but I have seen evidence myself of at least its existence. Might be a misdiagnosis even, but nothing else changed and things improved for her. Not sure how common it is, or how severe it typically is, but to me it’s an accepted risk like skin cancer and sunlight. I’ll cross that bridge if it comes and deal with it appropriately, but I’m not hiding inside out of fear.
Smoking weed can be just as bad for your lungs as cigarettes. It creates tar deposits and can affect your vascular system as well.
You should consider vaporizers or using oils.
As far as frequency goes, I treat it like alcohol. I consume it on occasion to relax, during social events, concerts, etc. Any more frequent becomes a habit. That’s when it’s a problem.
“How much is too much” really depends on the person, but I’ll venture to say that a single shared joint a day is not enough to induce scromiting in anyone remotely tolerant.
I smoked daily for 20 years and just 3 months ago I came down with this. Felt like food poisoning but my wife ate the same stuff as me and she never got sick.
Can confirm I scromitted, although any time I have thrown up in the past I also was quite loud.
I’m just interested to see how long Snoop Dogg lives
Edit: if you’re actually curious, I think it depends on the person but I have a prescription and comsume a lot more than that for 15+ years, I think you’re good.
How much is too much? My wife and I smoke a joint at night 7 days a week for the past year. Is that too much?
No. That’s barely enough, really. 😋
I have smoked to some level, nearly every single day, for 15 years. I haven’t scromited once.

Oh you can relax, this is 100% propaganda. The bots are going to light me up for this, but it’s just not a real documented thing

Thank you for not just posting “it is a thing!” But instead backing it up with sources.
Thank you for the high quality sources. Cleveland Clinic has been recommended to me multiple times by health care providers.
Hmm very suspicious
Damn, it’s bros first comment after lurking nearly a year and this is what they get? Geeze it’ll probably be another year before they want to comment again.
Oh don’t sweat it, “bro” is ChatGPT or Opus 4.7
Ah, yes, attack the person, ignore the data.
Can you explain how that’s an attack? Isn’t that just normal pointing out bots? And don’t just lazily spam an ad hominem link, since bots don’t have persons to attack
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem
Attacking a human person and accusing an account of being a bot are completely separate things
This is a lazy argument on your part. I disagree with your evaluation
An account is an inanimate thing… you can’t accuse it of anything.
You are accusing the person controlling the account of running a bot (which you have zero proof for except vibes) instead of addressing their argument.
That’s as classic ad-hominem as it gets.

You don’t smoke more than I do. Shut the fuck up.
well now im going to assume the whole message is nonsense. good day.
I don’t think you’ve smoked more weed than me.
“Trust me bro”
Then I get 10 links that could have been published by the GOP for $30 each. Laughable
Lol, sure. You literally know no one here but insist you “smoke more weed than any of us” you’re propaganda. 100%.
Raises hand meekly… I do in fact get this if I’ve been consistent for a long-ass time, not necessarily the dose size, but I swear to god you could replace my pen with ipecac and it would be the same experience. That said, long breaks “reset” it for me.

Lol definitely not a propaganda thing, and all of us 339 pot smokers should be worried
Pretty sure this is actually a real thing, however this Philadelphia Inquirer bit is def written like propaganda

If you’re scromitting less than 4 times a day I think you’re in the clear.
Let’s see, wake up, dab, scromit, eat potato, drink coffee, brush teeth, dab, do homework, scromit, go to class, go to work, come home, dab, do more homework, scromit, brush teeth, go to bed.
Phew, just made it on a normal day!
3 out of 5 dentists recommend waiting at least 30 minutes before brushing your teeth after scromiting.
Call your doctor if a scrommit lasts longer than four hours, though!
almost certainly not too much
however the wise and financially savvy toker takes a tolerance break at least once a year to reset tolerance and spend less $. A four week break every year means you’re spending way less to get the same effects

I would bet it happens more among people who overconsume edibles, which definitely became more accessible after legalization

Combustion products are always bad for your lungs, but cigarettes supposedly have stuff in them that is uniquely bad and especially carcinogenic.
Much of the bad stuff in cigarette smoke is caused by combustion. Cannabis smoke shares many of these chemicals also due to combustion.
don’t forget camp fires
and car exhaust
“How much is too much” really depends on the person, but I’ll venture to say that a single shared joint a day is not enough to induce scromiting in anyone remotely tolerant.
IMO it’s the smoking that’s bad, not the drug.
I smoked daily for 20 years and just 3 months ago I came down with this. Felt like food poisoning but my wife ate the same stuff as me and she never got sick.
Can confirm I scromitted, although any time I have thrown up in the past I also was quite loud.
Were you diagnosed or did you feel sick and blame it on the weed because you don’t have a better explanation?
Or it was food poisoning.
No, you didn’t
I’m just interested to see how long Snoop Dogg lives Edit: if you’re actually curious, I think it depends on the person but I have a prescription and comsume a lot more than that for 15+ years, I think you’re good.
It typically doesn’t set on until you’ve been smoking like that for years.
But smoking like that is like driving a tractor-trailer down a steep hill. It’s hard to stop.
No.
You’re right it must have been the simultaneous years of heavy drinking that wrecked my stomach
Simultaneous, you say? Impressive.
