    How much is too much? My wife and I smoke a joint at night 7 days a week for the past year. Is that too much?

    If you're scromitting less than 4 times a day I think you're in the clear.

    Let's see, wake up, dab, scromit, eat potato, drink coffee, brush teeth, dab, do homework, scromit, go to class, go to work, come home, dab, do more homework, scromit, brush teeth, go to bed.

    Phew, just made it on a normal day!

    Smoking weed can be just as bad for your lungs as cigarettes. It creates tar deposits and can affect your vascular system as well.

    You should consider vaporizers or using oils.

    As far as frequency goes, I treat it like alcohol. I consume it on occasion to relax, during social events, concerts, etc. Any more frequent becomes a habit. That's when it's a problem.

    Combustion products are always bad for your lungs, but cigarettes supposedly have stuff in them that is uniquely bad and especially carcinogenic.

    If Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome is real then it's extremely rare. Just look at People like Willie Nelson or Snoop. Fact is this syndrome was only first described after Colorado legalized cannabis recreationally. So even though many many people smoked just as much before legalization it somehow only became an issue afterward? Anecdotally I know a lot of people who smoke a lot of weed. Personally neither my wife and I have been sober for more than maybe a month in the last decade and a half, and I still smoke a lot more than just half a j at the end of the day. Sometimes if I don't smoke and I don't eat I get kinda nauseous. The same thing will happen if I do smoke and I don't eat. I have/get every illness, if this was a thing I would have it lol

    I will say I think my mom gets it. She used to smoke for nausea and sleep, and one day it just didnt help. Found out it was making things worse rather than better, and once she stopped it was gone. Hasn't felt the desire to touch it since.

    Don't get me wrong, this is likely being way overblown, and I'm a daily dabber myself so I dont want to come across like I support the fear-mongering, but I have seen evidence myself of at least its existence. Might be a misdiagnosis even, but nothing else changed and things improved for her. Not sure how common it is, or how severe it typically is, but to me it's an accepted risk like skin cancer and sunlight. I'll cross that bridge if it comes and deal with it appropriately, but I'm not hiding inside out of fear.

    I smoked 4 huge cones to the dome today in between vapes. And that’s just joints. I know a lot of people that smoke weed. Never seen this.

    I do think it’s propaganda. I’ve seen doctors write people immediately off and blame the weed if they tell the truth. Like people with the fucking flu not taken seriously and told it was smoking weed. Some people will blame all sorts of things if they get sick.

    Yeah I literally never heard of this before like 2022, and basically every friend I've had for the better part of 30 years has been a daily user at some point. This includes dabbing, concentrates, edibles, etc. so it isn't just a potency thing. These are people who were basically stoned every waking minute of every day in college and early careers. There's definitely something fishy here.

    Incidentally, everyone is doing fine professionally as well. Lawyers, engineers, doctors, entrepreneurs, and so on. So even the previous propaganda of "weed makes you lazy and dumb" is BS too.

    It's probably different for different people. I smoke a fat bowl every morning, and sometimes a second one at night, and I'm fine. I've been smoking for about 40 years. My wife was smoking a gram or two a day for roughly 18 months, and she developed CHS. She took a month long t-break, and the symptoms went away. Now, if she smokes more than once a week, they come back, so she only smokes with me on Monday nights.

    Depends on the person. Everyone reacts differently to any drug, and cannabis is no different in this respect.
    I have friends who consume once or twice per day, any more and they're not functional enough for the day. I have friends who consume once every few weeks, any more and it causes issues for them.

    I consume 2-3g of flower per day, throughout each day, alongside the occasional hashish and edible, and I've accomplished a fair bit from an unconditional offer to university for History BA Hons, worked for a US gov contract with the Affordable Care Act, etc. etc. (currently taking a change of direction and getting into a more creative field).

    If most people smoked like I do, the last thing they would be doing is reading novels and research articles like myself.

    Everyone is different. Really pay attention to how your consumption affects you, and make a sober assessment on whether it's something that you're comfortable fitting into your life in the manner in which you consume. The truth that many people don't say, and this is coming from a consumer of just over two decades, is there are plenty of people for which cannabis is NOT good for, and provides more detriment than benefit.

    Listen to your body and mind, is all I can suggest, but if you feel that it doesn't cause conflicts in your daily living I wouldn't worry about it. Enjoy the ganja, find something tasty and have a good time :)

    almost certainly not too much

    however the wise and financially savvy toker takes a tolerance break at least once a year to reset tolerance and spend less $. A four week break every year means you're spending way less to get the same effects

    also the wise and financially savvy toker switches from combustion to edibles or dry herb vapes so they stop inhaling hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, benzene, formaldehyde, and other carcinogens with every hit. Each of those are cancerous which is no bueno. Who cares if it's "better than cigarettes" it's like saying stabbing yourself with a small knife is better than with a big knife. Also edibles and herb vapes are a lot more efficient so you'll get a stronger effect for less $

    I’m just interested to see how long Snoop Dogg lives Edit: if you’re actually curious, I think it depends on the person but I have a prescription and comsume a lot more than that for 15+ years, I think you’re good.

    Can you explain how that’s an attack? Isn’t that just normal pointing out bots? And don’t just lazily spam an ad hominem link, since bots don’t have persons to attack

    Attacking a human person and accusing an account of being a bot are completely separate things

    This is a lazy argument on your part. I disagree with your evaluation

    An account is an inanimate thing... you can't accuse it of anything.

    You are accusing the person controlling the account of running a bot (which you have zero proof for except vibes) instead of addressing their argument.

    That's as classic ad-hominem as it gets.

    Raises hand meekly... I do in fact get this if I've been consistent for a long-ass time, not necessarily the dose size, but I swear to god you could replace my pen with ipecac and it would be the same experience. That said, long breaks "reset" it for me.

    And while I don't personally know anyone with the same problem, there are thousands of stories both online and IRL for me of "friend of a friend can't smoke weed anymore because of it".

    I'm super curious now... Are you screaming while vomiting? And this is a different urge than what you feel for a "normal" vomit? Like there is a compulsion to scream while you're doing it?

    Edit: hmmm, no reply. I think this person may have scromitted themselves to death

    If the consistency doesn't take dosage into consideration does it take frequency? I'm curious about that part. I only partake 1 time a week (generally) but I do that every week so my consistency is high.

    Its extremely well documented. This is exactly why you shouldnt take medical advice online seriously. It just stems from an over saturation of cannaboid receptors. The same receptors whose antiemetic effects are useful for cancer patients or other nausea prone patients can be reversed by over saturation of the receptor. It can be fixed typically by a period of abstinence that lets the receptors reset, but some people can never really partake again.

    I say this as someone who worked as a nursing assistant and used to be an anatomy/biology tutor in college. I also have smoked way more weed than any of you over the past decade. If you havent seen any evidence of this, its because you have no idea how to look.

    estimated 32% prevalence among cannabis users

    113 cases documented worldwide

    never heard of it despite your social circle being mostly daily smokers of high-thc weed

    Lol definitely not a propaganda thing, and all of us 339 pot smokers should be worried

    I smoked daily for 20 years and just 3 months ago I came down with this. Felt like food poisoning but my wife ate the same stuff as me and she never got sick.

    Can confirm I scromitted, although any time I have thrown up in the past I also was quite loud.

    Actually ended up going to the ER after 2 days. The nurse there thought that is what might have been happening. I don't think there is an official diagnosis.

    My wife ate the same stuff as me and she was fine so I don't think it was good poisoning

    It typically doesn't set on until you've been smoking like that for years.

    But smoking like that is like driving a tractor-trailer down a steep hill. It's hard to stop.

    Is it possible to vomit without screaming? Am I just a drama queen?

    It's entirely possible. I could vomit 3 feet away from you, and all you'd hear is the puke hitting the floor. I developed the ability to stealth vomit when I was a secret alcoholic and didn't want people to get suspicious.

    I vomit ever few months (yay cyclical vomiting syndrome) and no screaming. I'll be angry but not screaming. And more like. "How dare you body. You can digest this you dumbass stomach". But the actual vomiting is just. Retching sounds?

    CHS is 100% a real thing, my wife has it. If she smokes more than a bowl a week, she will scromit. She developed CHS about 18 months after she first started smoking with me. I've been smoking for about 40 years, and I've never developed CHS. We're not sure exactly why some people get it and some people don't, but it is a real phenomenon that can happen to some cannabis users.

    I'm pro-weed, pro-legalization, and generally in favor of personal freedom. But pot is not for everyone. It makes my wife incredibly sick. My (adult) daughter gets panic attacks from smoking pot, so she abstains.

    I get what you're trying to say. But the image OP displayed is actually propaganda. I get the feeling a lot of people don't know what propaganda means and think it's only something a government does to make you a gungho patriot.

    If the argument, info, message, whatever form of communication being delivered to you, is designed to appeal to your emotions, or sway your opinion, even if it contains some mote of truth, it's propaganda. Smokey the Bear is propaganda. To guilt you into not starting forest fires. It's for a decent cause, but it's no less a mascot designed to alter the behaviour of the populace.

    Smoking also produces a host of other chemicals, and like tobacco, plenty of harmful ones. It may not be a cannabinoid issue, rather a reaction with some combustion byproduct.

    I'm not a doctor, so feel free to disregard any of that :)

    CHS is a real thing, just not as portrayed by the OP. And the US government absolutely sprayed fuckloads of weed with paraquat back in the day, we have declassified files about it, there were hospitalizations, lifelong issues like Parkinson's and even deaths from it.

  • I'm sure there's some clinical documentation of all of this reefer induced disease then?

    Surely your ER has to keep records and there's something... Any kind of clinical evidence that marijuana causes this?

    We've spent billions and billions and billions of dollars over decades and shredded civil liberties on the so far unevidence claims of marijuana's danger, if you have actual evidence you have an obligation to come forward with it and present it for scientific review!
