Quoted from cottonm4:I don't come around here very often. it is not from any kind of philosophical differences. I just don't have time to get involved with any more pinside pages. I have a full plate.
But I thought I would drop by and lay this on all of you. What I am going to link sounds like BS to me. But I'm looking for others thoughts.
What I can say is that I have chucked up alcohol while I was hugging a commode. And then have to gag myself because it did not all come up.
But I never had any ill effects with vomiting from toking a doobie. Matter of fact, either than extreme bouts of paranoia when I was a kid and Texas had a 20 years sentence for Mary Jane, I have never had any ill effects, other than being ripped off with a bunch of seeds and stems in the baggie I bought.

" Uncontrollable vomiting due to marijuana use on rise, study finds"
https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/17/health/marijuana-vomiting-wellness/index.html
What are you boys up in Canada experiencing since you can light up almost anywhere?
Anybody puking their guts out?
I figured I’d post a response because you stated you were looking for others thoughts on the article and as a recovering cancer patient I’d like to pass along info others might benefit from.
I had never heard of this until A coworker with a college aged daughter told me about spending the afternoon at the emergency room. Apparently it’s common enough that by the time his daughter reluctantly answered a few questions she was diagnosed as having exactly what the linked article describes. After she described the symptoms (vomiting/nausea) and they determined that she wasn’t pregnant the doc asked a few questions.
How long has this been an issue?
She answered a few months off and on.
Does anything make you feel better?
She answered very hot showers really help .
Are you a cannabis user?
She answered a few times a week.
He explained that this is more common than you would think.
It has to do with the way some people metabolize thc/cannabis.
The doctor recommended she stop smoking and try other methods of relaxation/stress relief.
Sure enough after a short while of not smoking she never had symptoms again.
My coworker was baffled by the whole situation.
I guess it just doesn’t agree with some people.
