Mysterious, Rare Illness Linked To Smoking Weed Causes Severe Screaming and Vomiting By Janissa Delzo On 12/1/17 at 2:58 PM http://www.newsweek.com/mysterious-rare-illness-linked-smoking-weed-causes-severe-screaming-and-728682
For many marijuana users, the drug delivers a soothing, therapeutic effect. But for a small number of people, smoking results in a unpleasant aftermath of serious vomiting and stomach pain.
The mysterious illness—called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS)—was discovered in 2004, NPR reports. However, it didn’t receive much attention until recently, when doctors began to identify more cases of the syndrome.
“It’s something we’re seeing more commonly in areas where marijuana use is becoming more frequent,” Dr. Kennon Heard, a professor of emergency medicine and medical toxicology and pharmacology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, told WBUR.

“Essentially, patients who use marijuana very frequently for long periods of time—usually at least six months, probably most of them have been using for several years—develop sort of intractable abdominal pain and vomiting that sort of comes and goes over the course of days to weeks,” Heard explained to WBUR.

He noted that at least one person a day visits his institution in Colorado and presents symptoms, which he believes are a result of the condition. Dr. Roneet Lev, the director of operations at Scripps Mercy Hospital, has seen an identical trend in his emergency room in San Diego, he told NBC 7.
Although the syndrome is rare, enough patients have visited Scripps Mercy Hospital that led the emergency room staff to dub the symptoms of CHS—screaming and vomiting—into a new word: “scromiting,” Lev said.

What if a mysterious screaming illness is linked to taking hot baths.
Also, is there social support for this, like a scrommitting community.

I knew a kid that had this, even he admitted it wouldn't be so bad of a condition if he didnt smoke so much.... moderation is key, as too much of anything can be harmful.

I have a condition to where if I drink too much whiskey it leads to “scrommeting”. The struggle is real.

the guy has a constricted throat from smoking so much that air is being sucked in
that's him having a charlie horse right there from too much oxygen
you call these people and the first thing they say is 'we're sending the cops over' if you hang up they DO send them

I scrommited out my nose once.
I knew a kid back in highschool who every time he smoked herb with the group would end up rolling around the grass moaning and puking. He'd get the spins like one would after drinking too much. He was color blind as I remember too

I dunno about screaming but when i first was getting stoned on manhattan fire in my teen years, i def vomitted when i was a noob smoking the crazy shit
The nausea might have been somewhat psychosomatic as it would be linked to the vision changes i would get when i first started smoking. (If you guys know what i mean, its when you involuntarily are shifting your vision left to right, it only happened to me when i had zero tolerance. It was like a cannabis version of the "the spins")
On the other hand my first mushroom trips were so damn chill. Even when i had my first 8th. A homegrown 8th will put me out of my mind these days (even a good MS grow)

ROLMFAO ya sure this is a real problem just because there is no science behind it other then a couple of laymen assuming shit. Reefer madness its gone from smoking a joint becoming immediately addicted then killing some one followed by going completely insane, to cannabis might cause stomach cramps and pain in a few people. Proving just how desperate the NARCs have become in trying to stop the legalization of cannabis.

I'd bet this was noobs puking from smoking too much, too fast and then claiming they were "pro" life long smokes cuz it can't possibly them making the mistake so it must be the weed or some new medical thing... :|

I know a guy like that, but he does it for attention. He loves smoking weed, and he will happily light up, and thirty minutes later he's on the floor moaning and rolling around. He does it more when people acknowledge it, and the one time I got fed up with it and told him to get up or get out of my house, he popped up like a Jack-in-the-box completely fine.

People who are noobs get carried away, think theyre more intoxicated than they are i guess. The vision stuff is what made me nauseous. And the loss of control on top of that, heavy alien anxiety (i guess was a sativa lol). I remember playing Rogue Squadron with a friend and i got stoned for the first time and i really thought he was a fucking alien. Had to do with his weirdly spiked hair. Lol i realize this sounds weird, but that was the first time.
And my dad was coming home in like 3 hours lol and we smoked inside. Oh man i was going nuts Lol. But i still loved it
