"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!
LOL!
Damn, they got a hold of the Bubba Kush and like the taste and forgot the high.
The only time you throw up from smoking pot is when you are rubbing the furry wall after drinking too much.

I wonder how many do not have health insurance coverage where our tax dollars are used to take care of their "scromiting" conditions?
Yeah, this new adverse side effect shows up after cannabis is becoming legalized.
Perhaps we should call this new syndrome LEGALITIS.
Please.
If you are still working as an ED nurse, please tell us, in no uncertain terms, how many cases of "scromiting" you have seen? If you don't mind, also please tell us how many years you have worked as a ED nurse.
There is a doctor on this thread who says he has scromiting patients that have to be treated in the ER every 1 to 2 months because they refuse to stop smoking pot. I have called him out on it because I know he is making it up, so I would love to hear the testimony from other hospital professionals.
FWIW, I don't touch the stuff, and I still maintain that anything you read in the Daily Mail is likely to be if not flat-out untrue, then at least sensationalized beyond description.
"Flooding" ERs, please.
Here is an article from NPR. It sounds like an uptick or just an increased recognition of this syndrome. Flooding ERs is overstating it but it is still a real thing.
It could be as people use it to help with other medical problems like depression, they become dependent on it to feel normal. In that way it is addictive. The build up from constant use can cause this syndrome in some people.

One can become dependent/addicted to it like someone gets addicted to 7-Up, purely mental, unlike alcohol, tobacco, and harder drugs, which is a physical addiction.
Funny thing, I have never even heard of one case of this syndrome so I asked two different people I know that work in the medical profession, ones as a Doctor and the other an ER nurse neither had ever heard of it, so not thinking this is some epidemic. So when it comes down to it Peanut Butter is far more dangerous, the allergy to it has killed more than one person.
