I need your help

Glad that he has improved.
I hope that they are able to find the root of his issue and that it is treatable.
Sometimes it is easy to not follow through with medical treatment after you start to feel better.
Stay on his butt, and make sure he gets to the bottom of it.
Positive vibes to all.

Thanks WillieP. This is sort of what happened to me. Right back in emergency surgery 5 months after the first. Still no root cause found, the drs are stumped. Said I’m a “complicated case”. I have a shit ton of appointments every month w various drs so I’m trying to stay on top of it. The things that have helped the most are support from family, friends, and our wonderful beloved marijuana. It’s helped my appetite and eases some of my pain but never all of it, maybe I gotta find the right strain(s).

One thing that was emphasized to my friend was the alarmingly high number of misdiagnosed cases of CHS. My buddy was misdiagnosed by three different local 'specialists' before he accidentally met this guy who had transferred from U Colorado who told him, and I quote

" if you have otherwise been healthy and this just came out of the blue, and its episodic, my money is on CHS."

My buddy- "episodic"?

"Yes, and in between these bouts you are perfectly fine in every way, well, this is one of the signatures of CHS"

I know it sucks but I would not let the possibility that this is it make him go through 2 years of barium enemas and rectal cameras by a bunch of well meaning magoos who aren't up on their studies and can't get the diagnosis correct.

This sounds fucked up, but I wouldn't trust an older more conservative type doc to be familiar with this.

None of these in the south know anything about it.


Hope it all works out, just relaying what I have seen play out in the real world.

Really good insight @oldtimes. This is some fucked up shit cuz here we are thinking weed cures everything but as legality becomes more prevalent there’s more research on it so we get more studies and data. We want it to be the cure all but just like any meds there can be side effects, which some ppl may be prone to than others.

I strongly disagree with CHS being the “alarming “ reason why anyone if they go to the hospital for cannabis. Chs is extremely rare but also look every rx article and clinical study I looked at and such vs anti cannabis they all state such, I have also seen on same websites saying you will be lazy and also lower iq?. you can be allergic to anything but to state we are having alarming rates of such and act like without even knowing the persons issues that’s it is so blind and actually dangerous. not pushing anything down ur throat but I disagree and hope the issues the person will be solved Quickly

if it is that, well at least you know it can be resolved by removing that in ur life


How Common Is CHS?​

Experts only recently discovered CHS as a medical condition. And so far, it’s known to affect only a small number of heavy marijuana users. It’s possible that many may have it but might not have gotten help or have a misdiagnosis. One study found that about 6% of people who went to an emergency room for vomiting had CHS.”

Every nurse I’ve met including my ex’s mom said they’ve never had anyone come in and said they were too high. One of my friends is a traveling CT scanner and she said she’s never had someone that was a weed smoker mostly they were old ppl or drunks falling and hitting their heads.

Just some things to consider maybe. Legalization has brought access to people to allow them to smoke on a daily basis. If it's cannabinoid induced then the mode of application will not matter. Smoking is not good for your lungs, breating is integral to digestion. I never learned how to breathe did you?

The hypothesis is easily tested:

If upon stopping use the symptoms stop, there ya go.

I entered these terms into Google:

'Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome statistics '

The second result is an eye opening short PDF that estimates nearly 3 million Americans may suffer from some form of it.


That's not extremely rare.

Some more food for thought:

My buddy has figured out that not only does he have this, but that black pepper will trigger it even when HE ISNT SMOKING.

Black pepper is chock full of a terpene called beta- caryophyllene, the only terpene known to bind directly to cannabinoid receptors....

Real talk

I'm sorry I did not see this earlier, will send positive thoughts out for his recovery. Love to knock on the sky a bit, everyday.
As a 53 year smoker of weed, pretty healthy so far, no prescriptions, but I do take a few 4-5 per day, of vitamins and supplements.
Just your normal ornery old dude.
I wish the best for your niece and her man, good ones are so hard to find.

for One thing, why would anyone diagnose someone when they aren’t a dr, the person who originally posted didn’t say anything about cannabis was related or even involved based on dr or their issues, did they have issues after consuming ( gosh it must be that Mary Jane ) , who’s to even say he doesn’t even consume? drama bitch


its funny u bring out insults and no proof, I did

cant accept sources?
