Marijuana isn’t always harmless.

I don’t smoke weed anymore but I’ve experienced this a few times. It’s hell on Earth. Imagine gut wrenching pain and vomiting for 8 hours. The only cure is to crawl into the shower and lay there with hot water running on you til the hot water heater can’t keep up.

Initially I thought it was food poisoning but after it happened a few times I learned this exists. It’s horrible. You don’t think it’s caused by weed because everybody always said weed was harmless.

Yeah I used to overuse pot for years. Started in high school junior year. I basically quit last summer because it stopped being fun. The hyperemesis syndrome was random. A few times it was triggered by food, other times from alcohol. Once I think it started from being in the sun all day and then having a couple beers.

I have bipolar disorder and finally got on some meds that weren’t shitty and useless. Prior to the meds I was smoking tons of weed to self medicate. This only works so much and I’d need to be stoned all of the time to feel normal. I was using about a gram a day of pretty high end weed. Now that I’m on brain meds I lost the urge to smoke. It’s saving me a lot of money and I’m not burned out all the time anymore. I have vivid dreams again. When I was stoned I wouldn’t remember any dreams.

So I switched from pot to Olanzapine and Carbamazepine. The Olanzapine has side effects but they are tolerable. I’ve noticed I can neutralize those side effects with kratom. I feel mostly normal now. I’m not as sharp as I used to be but it sure beats dealing with manic episodes. And kratom has a good side effect of killing the urge to drink.

I just think it’s funny after all these years of smoking they will eventually legalize it around here but I won’t want to smoke it anymore. Now we just have to make sure the government won’t criminalize kratom.

Yes, you're on meds. THIS is the problem.

Stop spreading false information, you stupid faggot.

Why do you say it’s false? I wasn’t on meds when I was smoking weed everyday and getting sick from it occasionally. I have nothing to gain from making something like this up. Here’s the wiki page on it.

I tried using pot for years to manage my mental health. It just doesn’t work for everybody. Do your own research if you don’t believe me.
