Studie zeigt, dass Cannabiskonsumenten möglicherweise früher ein Cannabinoid-Hyperemesis-Syndrom entwickeln als Raucher

Definitely not interested in experiencing “scromitting” that the article talks about.

Anecdotally, switching to distillate and live resin has been good for my cardio performance compared to burning plant.

I wonder how much of an impact quality of the cartridge has on this disorder as well. I feel like I’ve definitely felt worse when using a cheap cartridge from a gas station for $30 as opposed to the better ones I get from a dispensary for $60. I also wonder if the additional unaccounted for chemicals can accelerate the speed at which you develop certain symptoms like this. I doubt it’s the primary cause because people who haven’t used thc vapes still succumb to this disorder through traditional marijuana use but there could definitely be chemicals that accelerate the process if it changes how thc is absorbed into your system from using them. Would love a follow up study on this

As an avid cart user, the quality of the extract matters. Resin with little to no extra chems in the extraction process usually has minimal side effects. Cured resin or ones extracted with chemicals usually have side effects like headaches and nausea.

Would be good to know if this is brand specific or not, thing that has always kept me from carts vs getting flowers and making edibles is not knowing what other things I’d be inhaling.

hear me out: it’s super rare among users (that’s why all the „OMG SCROMITING“ articles compare CHS to the number of vomiting cases in the ER as opposed to the number of people using) and quitting is 100% effective in curing it, so if I develop CHS I’ll quit smoking weed. I don’t need it to live but it makes my life better, so to give up very real benefits out of fear of a hypothetical cost is stupid.

Genetic predisposition explains why some people are affected and not others.

The article talks about specifically carts but nothing about DHV and I would assume any cannabis use can lead to CHS, but personally speaking vaping flower just feels… cleaner. Marginally. It also leads to less use because it gets you where you wanna go with less. So maybe healthier?

CHS sounds awful though.

I’ve had this twice before I decided to quit. Smoked it for around 10 years, very heavy user. Multiple times daily.

Funnily enough it was triggered the first time from TRYING to quit.

Doctors said I had cyclical vomiting syndrome. Lost 20lbs in a month. Not fun at all.

Couple years back, I was a heavy vape user, but I did not like the way it would make my lungs and body feel. Switched to just doing herb and while smoking it’s *better* my body definitely feels less ragged compared to when I was vaping.

Then last year I discovered it’s really easy to grow it in your garage. I was always worried about pesticides that may have been used on the flower I get from my dispensary. So now I’m a fully self sufficient stoner and it’s been great!

I guess my next step is a dry herb vape I guess?

What a garbage website. I spent more time closing out ads than I did reading the article.

Oh absolutely. I’ve given myself CHS 4-5 times from vapes, never from any other form factor. They’re just too easy to mindlessly puff and spike your tolerance through the roof within days. I’m a few days into quitting (again) and dealing with the worst of it now.

Scromiting sounds like a jazz-ska fusion band music style.

I use it almost daily but I try and wait until after 6pm and when the day is done. Helps me fall asleep and I sleep hard. I take month breaks every now and again to lower the tolerance.

I’ve been a grass smoker since age 13. Am 45 now. I never vomited from weed until I started vaping. When I say vomiting I’m talking four days hospitalized impatient with acute kidney failure. Was CHS.

Just my anecdote but I’ve been admitted to the ER and diagnosed with this syndrome after binging on wax and vapes for a long time.

Switching back to grass completely resolved my condition.

I then used a vape from a buddy out of desperation since I ran out of bud and the syndrome came back, resulting in me going back to the hospital after losing so much fluids from vomiting and sweating in a hot shower for hours at a time (Hot water is a temporary remedy to alleviate the symptoms.)

This condition is a nightmare and you feel like you’re dying and in a state of confusion and dry-heaving for hours.

Take your concentrates in moderation, y’all.

I got this from vaping thc.

In my opinion, the high thc levels and lack of cbd and terpenes in most vape carts causes people to use more and that is a fundamental flaw with vape carts. Vaping flower is the way to go.

This is exactly my case. I was a flower smoker before switching to cartridges for the convenience and discretion they allow. After about 2 years of usage I noticed I’d hit them way more often then I’d smoke flower for those exact same reasons. Eventually I started having morning nausea and vomiting and general feelings of malaise throughout the day.

“It couldn’t be the vape. Weed actually helps my nausea and appetite,” I thought as I’d continue to hit my pen many times a day. Doctors didn’t know what caused my nausea and thought it was nightly acid reflux. So I took some Pepsid AC while continuing to vape. Things didn’t get any better.

Eventually a friend of mine showed me a wiki page about cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, and it described my symptoms exactly. Down to the detail of hot baths and showers being the only relief. So I took a break from weed entirely and finally felt like normal again for the first time in a year. Now I stick to flower because it limits my usage and it’s much less concentrated. I’ve been fine for years now.
