I have a family member who keeps going to the ER for horrible vomiting and dehydration but he keeps saying the Dr's are full of shite and it's just weed. He smokes every few hours every day.

Is that what old timers use to call “reefer madness”?

I actually have a similar story. Like the same one.

St Tammany by chance?

Your family member sounds like a bitch, no offense.

It’s very real. It’s gonna happen every time they partake.

Haldol is the cure

Also, don’t smoke weed from Bogalusa.

I listened to a podcast about it last year. I’d never heard of it.
Some lady up in Portland area I think.
She basically ended up bed ridden and couldn’t function. Of course I always wondered why she didn’t try quitting the weed way before it got so serious. Said she stopped smoking and all symptoms disappeared.
It’s still rare, but some folks can’t handle it

I think it's called scromiting. Too much weed for some had horrible consequences

Yep. It’s rare, but real. Take the pit out of the equation and the symptoms go away.

There are numerous medical journals written about CHS.
Many get relief by taking a shower… odd but true. I believe receptors are in overdrive, which causes vomiting. Maybe it’s a potency thing, could be genetic — they don’t know.

weed smokers are like vegans and crossfitters - they just have to tell you they smoke weed

Like we can’t already smell it

Your family member is the typical pothead who has rationalized his debilitating addiction as 'just pot'. It's 'just pot' for people who take a couple of hits in the evening or on the weekend. This jackass is using up valuable healthcare resources because he won't stop using what is causing his problem.

Wait, so he's not actually getting really sick?

keeps going to the ER


I can't imagine how expensive that's getting

horrible vomiting and dehydration


That sounds absolutely miserable, so that dude must REALLY love smoking weed if he's not even willing to not do it for a bit and see if they issue clears up.

Give him a couple of OE 800’s and he will be fine.
