You may never get it. 99.99% of the people you know may never get it, but some do. I did. It’s not the kind of thing you get from eating too much ketchup or even smoking two packs a day for five years. It’s god damned awful, painful and can rack up a lot of medical debt until you get diagnosed properly.
I’m not saying ban weed. I love weed, well, loved. Just make this shit easier to identify, treat, and deal with before we go releasing the kraken of THC untethered upon everyone. If you’re old enough, one bout of that shit might kill you. That’s a heavy toll to pay on something that you might want to legalize.
You have a higher risk of developing CHS if you use cannabis at least once a week. Your risk also increases if you have used cannabis since adolescence. The only way to cure CHS is to stop using cannabis.
Sounds like an easy fix. If smoking weed makes you puke, just… don’t smoke weed. I don’t see how this is a problem.
I mean, there are potential negative effects associated with any substance use. It’s not worth stopping the legalization of an otherwise safe substance because of a condition that 0.01% of people get. It’s like saying that we need to stop producing peanuts because some people are deathly allergic.
There is also the risk of developing schizophrenia. And the risk of use effecting male fertility. And epigenetics. hope scheduling delivers us a library full of research.
check comment below, what I orginially said is iffy or even false.
Lotta whataboutism there. While cannabis use can trigger schizophrenia in those who are already predisposed to it, so can things like a period of stress, the loss of a loved one, or a car crash. If cannabis caused schizophrenia to occur in rates higher than the baseline we would know by now; it’s been in wide use for long enough that any conceivable lag period has been accounted for.
The University of Chicago Medicine article here suggests that CBD actively binds to sperm cells, so any impact on fertility should be reversed given time.
we found that a certain part of the marijuana compound (CBD) had affinity to latch or bind to receptors on the sperm’s structure, altering its shape and function, which can ultimately decrease fertility in men.
How much time, good question - more study is required (and is ongoing), but your concerns appear to mostly be over nothing.
There is one hidden, tiny problem.
Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome.

Thank you!
God I hope it reduces my fertility
Lmaoooo. Yea.
