Damn this meme thread turned into some otherwise semi-serious cannatalk. Everyone just needs to chill out and smoke a joint.
I think I have a life goal now to hit back-to-back blinkers until I scromit. Though I’m pretty sure I’ve scromitted when sick with food poisoning. Might be different. Idk. I’m like 6 blinkers deep.
Wallace and Scromit
I was hospitalized with a similar condition called Canabanoidosis. Nearly died. Took 8 iv bags, other medicine, and 3 days of bedrest to survive. Ironically, its chronic. So no more of beelzabubs broccoli for me. The ratio of thc to blood in my blood was so wack that my blood became too acidic. Spasming and vomiting in response to water even touching my mouth. Very nearly died.
I call bullshit, that’s not a thing
Forgive me for asking, but… how?? The LD50 for cannabis is 980 mg/kg. For an adult weighing 180 lbs / 81 kgs, that would require nearly 79.38g of straight THC to the veins.
I mean, that’s the LD50 for THC. But for it to actually change your blood acidity, you must have had to take an insane amount. Was it an industrial exposure?
Great resource link! I poached it get the LD50 for delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol which is the psychoactive property the plant has been bred for. That number is actually higher at 1270 mg/kg.
And as you stated, it would have to be 100% purity concentrate in a vein.
That’s why cannabis fear mongering is utter nonsense. Yes, there can be seriously deleterious effects for heavy, chronic users. But unless you’re really trying, a toxic dose is almost impossible.
You’re right to be skeptical, this is bullshit
Well, I had been smoking almost all day every day for a decade, the last year I was hitting dab at least 3 times per day. The weekend of the incident, i ate an early breakfast, drove for 6 hours, then went backcountry camping with what I thought was enough food/water (I was wrong) and a too much thc. Went all day with very little food/water, hitting a 2g vape every few minutes and walked around 17 miles. Then my friend drove us the 6 hour drive home, about an hour later I got a ride to the hospital, I usually drive myself to the hospital but I could barely move. I dont mess with that stuff or anything else anymore. Being clean feels better anyway.
That was dehydration.
Bingo
It wasn’t the cannabis. It was “Went all day with very little food/water” 99%.
What you describe as your daily dose I’ve literally eaten for breakfast and then doubled the dose a few hours later, then ate even more. Jelly, not chocolates or complex edibles. And I made them into a drink first for quicker absorption.
I also smoked 3-5g daily during that.
It’s not the cannabis.
I usually drive myself to the hospital
Why are you going to the hospital so much and why are you able to drive? If I go to the hospital it is because things went so bad I can’t drive.
You’ve never had an infection which needed treatment, or broken a finger/toe, or needed some stitches?
I have only been maybe 3 times. Driving myself 2 of 3 times qualifies as “usually”. as to why, ambulances are like $3k per trip and I have an inhuman pain tolerance. A 6.5mm kidney stone or a hole from a 16penny nail that through and throughed my foot, if I am conscious, i am not spending $3k on a 30 minute glorified cab ride.
I live in NZ the ambulance is either free or $99NZ; depending on which city you live in…I still drive myself if I am able.
OK. Makes sense.
I’ve been in the hospital more times than I can count. But I agree ambulances are bullshit. Last time I took one was because a nurse convinced me it was vital. A agreed and got a cab ride, with my wife following. The only good part was they rolled me from the ambulance directly to my bed.
edit - oh yea, never used an ambulance when younger because i lived two blocks away from the hospital. life was rough back in the days.
A lil’ dab’ll do ya.
The nice thing about flower and marijuana in general is that it is/was rarely refined or broken down to concentrations that you see with things like the coca leaf into cocaine.
Even hash was just a plant matter removal more than chemically concentrating like you see with some of those vape serums.
Like, I love me some coffee and tea, but I’m not fucking with any caffeine pills.
But I digress, glad you’re doing well nonetheless.
Jesus fucking christ dude, I’d say you have a problem. I guess that’s one way to get off.
Had* and it wasnt addiction. I decided to stop and imidiately stopped. Its been years. My life was boring, empty, and depressing, I used the green to mask the void. But now I have filled it with substance, meaning, and purpose.
Ha! Chronic. Classic Up you go! Btw that’s fkd up. It’s like hydrophobia in Rabies patients.
Pretty tone deaf
Because I laughed at the quip reference to chronic and chronic? Oki dokie.
Interesting. Although users in Philadelphia can cross the river to New Jersey to buy legal cannabis, it’s only available in Pennsylvania with a medical card. I have to wonder if these cases are coming from people who bought weed legally in a neighboring state, or is it happening with people who consumed unregulated alternatives (like Delta-8) from places like smoke shops and gas stations?
No, its from legit sources. It’s been a more and more popular diagnosis the last 5 or 6 years. I first saw it around 2018 in a legal state. One someone has it they kind of just have it and any THC use will cause the symptoms. It’s n/v and abd pain characterized by recent cannabis use in a chronic cannabis use patient. I’ve never seen it in anyone who described themselves as moderate. Relief with hot showers and worsening with cannabis use are the diagnostic criteria other than personal/social hx.
The doctors I worked with felt like it was due to the low price and availability of concentrates.
So maybe they’re just vomiting because they went to NJ
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?
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.
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.
Combustion products are always bad for your lungs, but cigarettes supposedly have stuff in them that is uniquely bad and especially carcinogenic.
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
estimated 32% prevalence among cannabis users
113 cases documented worldwide
never heard of it despite your social circle being mostly daily smokers of high-thc weed
Lol definitely not a propaganda thing, and all of us 339 pot smokers should be worried
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.
Lol, sure. You literally know no one here but insist you “smoke more weed than any of us” you’re propaganda. 100%.
I don’t think you’ve smoked more weed than me.

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.
Ah, yes, attack the person, ignore the data.
Can you explain how that’s an attack? Isn’t that just normal pointing out bots?
Pretty sure this is actually a real thing, however this Philadelphia Inquirer bit is def written like propaganda
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”.

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
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.
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
I would bet it happens more among people who overconsume edibles, which definitely became more accessible after legalization
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!
Call your doctor if a scrommit lasts longer than four hours, though!
“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.
Or it was food poisoning.
We’re you diagnosed or did you feel sick and blame it on the weed because you don’t have a better explanation?
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.
My gastroenterologist had this on the short list of why I was vomiting randomly but 1. It’s not screaming 2. Hot baths didn’t help in the slightest (I wished) and 3. I don’t smoke only eat it.
Current going plan is cyclical vomiting syndrome. Yaaay.
Yea I’d be getting another opinion.
I don’t smoke only eat it.
Why would that make a difference? CHS is caused by cannabis use, not specifically cannabis smoking, no?
Well, he seemed to think so. But if so, then the fact I eat like half a 10mg occasionally would also put it well below the use of high.
CHS is the doctor’s go-to default for CVS patients if there is ANY cannabinoids detected. They really don’t want to commit to exploring treatment for CVS without ruling out CHS. If cannabis helps with CVS symptoms, and you dont have CHS, it can be struggle.
