These are all 100% exactly the same, in that they’re all propaganda
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.
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.
What is the screaming part of it?
It's very painful.
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.
A bit of a low bar, as this comment itself is Propoganda... And I agree, everything is and should be treated like propoganda.
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 :)
Reefer is many times more potent than it was back in Cheech and Chong days. I can see where there would be more side effects.
Wallace and Scromit
Truly the word of the century.
I needed a term for the urge I feel every time I read the news, and now I have it.
this opens so many new opportunities!
scroomscrolling - screaming while doomscrolling
how did we miss scranking
having a cheeky scrank
scrscreaming
It's called throat singing
The quality of our drug war propaganda is going to shit along with everything else the US makes
screxisting - screaming while existing
scronscious - screaming while conscious
scrasturbating - screaming while masturbating (personal favorite of mine)
If you have CHS or CHS like symptoms try a fat soluble thiamine supplement.
Most Americans are actually thiamine deficient.
Reefer madness
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?
Oh you can relax, this is 100% propaganda. The bots are going to light me up for this, but it’s just not a real documented thing
Absolutely a real thing. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/-/media/files/allchildrens/clinical-pathways/chs_pathway-2025-08-18.pdf

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".
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.
What is the screaming part
I also have smoked way more weed than any of you over the past decade
well now im going to assume the whole message is nonsense. good day.
I don't think you've smoked more weed than me.
You don’t smoke more than I do. Shut the fuck up.
If you're scromitting less than 4 times a day I think you're in the clear.
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
Yeah, legalization widens the sample group of users effectively, which will cause rarer symptoms to appear among people who have sensitivities to things they wouldn't otherwise have known
"How much is too much" really depends on the person, but I'll venture to say that a single shared joint a day is not enough to induce scromiting in anyone remotely tolerant.
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.
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.
Post memes here.
