The emergence of "scromiting" is mostly an internal cry for help from users whose brains are now so addled and mental faculties so impaired by cannabis to make normal functioning incredibly difficult.
Sure Jan, sure.

In that era I'd suspect a jug of Boone's Farm as the cause of more 'omiting' than anything else.

No one is saying that drinking too much alcohol is not bad for you, or doing other drugs. But the pot pushers keep saying that pot is "harmless" and this great wonder medicine, so they can push to get it legalized everywhere. I am pointing out numerous articles and studies that say that's simply not true. We already have enough drug problems. Making another dangerous drug more readily available and telling people it's good for them is just plain wrong, and a bad idea.

Ban peanuts, some people are allergic and I know better than everyone else what they should get to choose to do with their own bodies. It's simply for their own good since I am so benevolent and all knowing, and everyone else are all dumb plebes that would eat lead paint chips all day if I was not here to tell them what they should and should not do. Peanuts gotta go. Oh yea BTW we are going to use the government and rule of law to force everyone to comply, and if you ever buy, sell, or posses peanuts or peanut products and we find out about it we are going to no-knock raid bust into your house (maybe shoot you but shhhh) arrest you and ruin your employment opportunities for life forcing you into the lower classes - but hey at least we will have kept you away from all those dangerous peanuts. I mean, you could have had a reaction! Whew!


Hey guys! Hey guys! 10 points if you can guess who it is I'm imitating!

You're simply not credible when you resort to hyperbole like "flooding emergency rooms" when the cited article states no such thing.

Living in your little happy bubble with your trains and planes. If there were deleterious side effects they would have shown up long ago.

This is the title that you created:

"Pot users flooding emergency rooms with "scromiting" syndrome"

It is a lie. Admit it.

In the article that you posted it says that "scromiting" is rare.

Thread fail.
