Pot users flooding emergency rooms with "scromiting" syndrome (employment, suspect)

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.

And if the "flooding emergency rooms" hyperbole were true wouldn't we be hearing reports of places like Denver literally being pools of Ralph? Why is it we hear no such thing?

I changed it to add "low information" so I wouldn't anger all the aging hippies.

There's more alkies than scromiters.

Pot wins.

Any fool can become an addict. Any fool can also become a non-addict.

I'm not big on blaming big pharma, big tobacco, the ATF nor Mc Donalds for my problems.

I'm not a victim. My problems are of my own making, imo.

It's also an effective sleep-aid without side effects and addiction, and no 'hangover' in the AM as other sleep-aids often result in.

I'm old enough to have been at Woodstock (missed out on that) and this is the first I've heard of something called "scromiting". Sounds like phony baloney to me. I think the prohibitionists are getting desperate.
