    Funny you mention it.

    Scream puking is a known symptom of marijuana overuse. It’s called CHS

    It’s bizarrely specific.

    Any weed smokers out there that read “scream puke” and knew what you meant? – cut back.

      Yes, hyperactive emesis does take place in other aspects of life, indeed.

      Cannabis related hyperemesis is highly controversial, and if valid, only effects a very small subset of the population, in a very obvious manner.

      Nowhere is someone barfing so hard their neighbors can hear them, and thinking ‘I should smoke a fattie, it’ll help!’. At least not more than a few times before the lack of differing outcomes becomes apparent.

        1. Your assumptions are wrong. First many, many people believe marijuana is a great treatment for nausea. Including those affected by CHS

        2. Cannabis hyperemesis is… Not controversial. Cope harder? NHIS isn’t one for controversial diagnoses. They’re, in fact, an authority that reports to the CDC. There is no controversy beyond your statement.

        Thanks for incorrecting me.

      Cannabis hyperemesis ends up in ER visits a lot. I saw it many times. Cannabis is not as innocent as people would have you think.
