An vague warning from CNN

It's poor reporting when the writer says, 'Research is Spotty'.
This is typical media. Reporting the bad before all the information is gathered. Guilt by media.
Also figure that since weed has been legalized in places, more people are going to have adverse effects because more people are using. Did you know that there were more drunk people after prohibition than during?
No problem. People get sick from weed. I have a heavy dabber buddy who throws up and gets the runs if he eats edibles. Opiate users I've known get sick on weed. This will pass as the killer vape pens did.
Raise a fuss. Watch the social media. Guilt by social media.

Spoiler alert: If it makes you sick, you probably shouldn't do it. Kind'a like getting kicked in the jewelry. Seems fun, might not be.
 
Yes, this is a real thing. It happens mostly in heavy chronic users but has been seen in acute dosing cases. While there has been an increase in cannabis "over dose" incidents, more so with edibles, the condition is in general not serious so long as the patient is monitored and can be kept reassured that they are safe and it will pass and they do not harm themselves. As far as the dangers of electrolyte imbalance, well that is always a concern in any patient with severe vomiting but can be managed easily with basic metabolic supportive care, and yes an electrolyte imbalance can be life threatening. The best practice would be to include cannabis use query when doing intake evaluation so as not to miss the issue. Once again the news has taken a small grain of truth, added some spice, and made it a sensation. PS this is not new.

Well D'oh- if you severely over do anything you are bound to see negative results. It is possible to die from drinking to much water. Just use common sense.

I would prefer to not to have to deal with and would of generally avoided any political BS on this forum but in this case I also would like to know what is the reason for an avatar that represents one of the EVILEST POLITICAL PARTIES EVER KNOW TO MAN.
 
I have read about this several times over the last year or two. I have never seen any differentiation between consumption techniques. But, I agree with moderation in everything. Edibles make for easy over consumption. This is a real thing and I also believe that it is in the public eye due to more public interest in weed in general and a lot of noobs using it.
 
While distracting from this particular discussion, @Cardcian s choice of avatars is undeniably incongrouous with his apparent devotion to cannabis. This is the first time in two years I have ever seen a "political" outburst from any of our members, not actually cannabis related. I won't judge, other than to observe that we all should be cognizant of how we want to represent ourselves to others. Your audience will draw conclusions, based upon your decisions.
 
While outside wrenching which takes little mental faculties my mind wandered back to this person. The thought came to mind that in the past when dealing with this type of human being Iv'e been left feeling their just blowing smoke when they try to justify what or why they've done or did what ever set me off. So rather than letting this person irritate me any more than what I was yesterday I've elected to block them eliminating any future irritation.
 
Hi Farmbuck: I have heard of this here in Canada. It was in the news about two years ago. I think the syndrome affects users of high THCconcentrates which is used chronically or everyday all day long. Amongst my older friends no-one I know has ever been afflicted with this (60+). Certainly not back in the seventies was this a problem. it seems to me that when humans start to refine and distill plant based products like weed or coca leaves or kat that potency problems arise eventually.cewing coca leaves or smoking some weed is one thing but the refinements seem to be more problematic.
 
The TV channels I watch are lousy with lawyers wanting to get people everything they deserve if they have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma from Paraquat. Cancer from Zantac and Ranitidine (I was on that one.) Abuse by the Catholic church. Abuse by the Mormons. Talc powder. Round-up.

Gingerbeard I was on almost everything from Tagamet, Zantac to all of the PPIs: Nexium, Prilosec, Prevacid, etc. I lost a kidney to cancer three years ago. I know people think genetics. One grandmother was the oldest of 17, the other the youngest of 16, I have many 2nd & 3rd cousins. Maternal side: colon cancer and auto-immune diseases. Paternal side: brain tumors. I read that there is a molecule in all of those type of stomach meds mentioned above that is carcinogenic. If there's a class action settlement and I honestly qualify I'm going to put in for my part, the lawyers are getting their large cut anyway. I've not seen a Paraquat class action, I get emails, I don't see many of those ads on TV anymore.

IL has great laws against using facial recognition technology, I would accept Zuckerberg's money every day of the week and twice on Sunday. But it would never make up for the data he sold and who bought it.
