Numbers conspicuously absent. And it being the Daily Mail, I will now have to independently verify that emergency rooms in fact exist.

Anyway, overindulgence is bad.

More bad news for the notion that pot is safe and great. The drugs build up in your brain and cause vomiting and screaming. Chime: but, but, but, big pharma!
I don't care what you ingest or who you screw...just leave me out of it.

It's just that it is unexpected with marijuana, which is deemed safe and medically used for anti-nausea purposes. If it happens I can imagine it is very scary and distressing. Unlike getting sick off alcohol which we all know can happen and how unpleasant it is.

I think people believe weed is so safe they over indulge. Maybe we should take it down a notch and tell users to be careful or you could experience really unpleasant side effects like with alcohol.

You can't flood your body with chemicals (even "natural" ones) and expect your body to always cooperate. I believe weed does other damage related to some of the things it is used for medicinally as well. Some people will use and later regret it just as people do with other drugs, alcohol or cigarettes.

Basically it is an allergy. Everything in this world can cause an allergy. Another fake thread promoting the Reefer Madness agenda.

Quote from the articles I posted: "This may sound scary, but it’s very rare. I’ve known many heavy smokers all my life and have only recently heard of it through research online."

OP, this isn't new. It is rare.

"Scromiting" Now that is a funny word.


Consuming too much of anything can be bad for your health. I say let Darwin sort them out.


Who are these people that are flooding the emergency rooms? Seth Rogan and his buddies Cheech and Chong ?

Weed seems to keep getting stronger. They do more edibles now, some people get sick or too high off the edibles.

The emesis isn't fake, it's a real thing that can happen after a lot of use. And people can get panicky if they get too high, with pounding heart and panic attacks.

This is not reefer madness, it is common sense warnings like with any other drug.

I have heard that marijuana is stronger, much stronger, than in my youth. I suppose the last puff I had was around 1975. Good weed was mighty hard to find back then. It was $10 for an ounce. The best was from Hawaii, while one had to be on the lookout for "Kansas weed", which looked like marijuana and smelled like marijuana, but smoking a pound of it would only irritate your throat.
