Last year, Desiree Haight found it so difficult to keep food down that she dropped 30 pounds, from 150 pounds down to 120.
Things came to a head in November when she wound up in the emergency room in her hometown of Calgary after she threw up 30 times in one day, reported BuzzFeed News.
At first, doctors assumed the 46-year-old either had food poisoning or a stomach virus.
But one emergency room physician said her symptoms seemed familiar and asked if she smoked marijuana and if hot showers gave her relief.
When she answered 'yes', that's when he diagnosed her with a little-known condition called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) in which chronic cannabis users vomit incessantly without explanation.

Make money. Write a new dieting book.
ReplyDeleteMake more money; develop a pill to stop it.
ReplyDeleteSome people will abuse anything if given the chance. They always ruin things for everyone else. It’s people like this moron woman who always take benefits away from others through their overt negligence. If people would be cool about things, the whole community could enjoy and benefit from something in peace. But no, there’s always some a$$hole who attempts to ruin it for everyone else.

ReplyDeleteCan't understand these idiots today. Catch a buzz enjoy yourselves. Who the F wants to get so high and sit around like a zombie??
ReplyDeleteTotal, absolute, unequivocally, without doubt, and no question about it.
ReplyDeleteBS. Total BS.
The strongest pot known to man will not make you see colors or things that are not there. It also doesn't make you throw up 30 times a day.
Maybe a few tabs of morphine or fentanyl AND some pot will make you throw up, but just pot????
Quit falling for every scare they blow up your dress.
I can already see a DEA campaign against the pot/regurgitation syndrome to scare the idiots and of course, pass more laws.
Keep cheering.
Just look at Willy Nelson. You don't see him throwing up, do ya?
