"Chronic cannabis users are at risk of experiencing a horrifying new condition that is being reported at hospitals across the country. 'Scromiting,' doctors say, is becoming an all-too-familiar site at emergency rooms, with patients 'screaming and vomiting' as they turn up for help."
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!
The following quote is from the article you posted:
"According to the NCBI: ‘Often mistakenly called Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome, Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome is a rare form of cannabinoid toxicity that develops in chronic smokers."
But it’s a natural harmless plant, or so the stoners say. Safer than alcohol or tobacco.
Uh huh. Stoners will be upset.
Do you realize that perfectly legal pineapples can kill people? A peanut can kill some people too. Both harmless (in most cases) plants that are perfectly legal. Anyone can have a bad reaction to anything. Heck, I had a horse that was allergic to some types of hay.

Nothing is 100% harmless.

You know what's NOT rare? People dying from diseases caused by using tobacco and alcohol.
Gallup been asking the same question -- "Do you think the use of marijuana should be made legal, or not? -- since 1969. That year, only 12% of Americans backed legalization.
Last year the poll pegged support for ending marijuana prohibition at a then-record of 60%.
This year it's up to 64%.
Here comes the sun! The light dispels the darkness!

Nice try!
Don’t have to try. I am sure more deleterious side effects will emerge. Matter of time and stoners are the experimental subjects.

yeah, because humans haven't been consuming cannabis for at least the past 10,000 years. Surely now we'll get to the bottom of this deadly, dangerous drug

But how long is it going to take to satisfy you? Even in just modern times: I am at 45+ years, and I can provide you with links to a seemingly endless number of people who have been using it for over 50 years, with no deleterious side effects. When does it cease to be an experiment?

Au contraire, the Reefer Madness crowd is quite entertaining with its misconceptions.
