chronic dope losers beware

we have a new condition scromiting

from the daily mail

Chronic cannabis users are at risk of experiencing a horrifying new condition that is being reported at hospitals across the country.

'Scromiting,' doctors say, is becoming an all-too-familiar site at emergency rooms, with patients 'screaming and vomiting' as they turn up for help.

The condition, called Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS), is not properly understood but medical experts believe the symptoms appear from individuals using or consuming heavy amounts of marijuana over a long period of time.

Dr Aimee Moulin, an emergency room physician at UC-Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, said she has seen a rise in cases since California legalized recreational marijuana last November.
She expects to see a further rise after commercial sales are permitted starting in January

'I've screamed out for death,' Chalfonte LeNee Queen, 48, told NPR after experiencing the terrifying illness.

'I've cried out for my mom, who's been dead for 20 years, mentally not realizing she can't come to me.'
Little research has been conducted on the topic, but one study found that for scromiting to occur, cannabis users would have to consume marijuana three to five times per day to develop CHS

Drugged driving fatalities


Drugged driving is a safety issue of increasing public concern. Using data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting
System for 1999 - 2010,
The most commonly detected nonalcohol drug was cannabinol,
the prevalence of which increased from 4.2% in 1999 to 12.2% in 2010
The increase in the prevalence of nonalcohol drugs was observed in all age groups and both sexes.
These results indicate that nonalcohol drugs, particularly marijuana, are increasingly detected in fatally injured drivers
link



The AAA Foundation examined drug tests and fatal crashes among drivers in Washington, a state that legalized marijuana in December 2012. The researchers found:

The percentage of drivers involved in fatal crashes who recently used marijuana more than doubled from 8 to 17 percent between 2013 and 2014.

1 in 6 drivers involved in fatal crashes in 2014 had recently used marijuana, which is the most recent data available.

dope makes you stupid

Colorado's transportation department after a 2014 study revealed a disturbing statistic: 43 percent of the state's marijuana users didn't know it was illegal to drive under the drug's influence.

Still, there is no question that alcoholic beverages are far more dangerous than marijuana . Yet alcohol is still legal . Every year , thousands of Americans die from alcoholism , and drunk drivers kill many people .
Alcoholic beverages are a major cause of violent crimes, but no one has ever been known to commit a violent crime or any kind of crime under the influence of marijuana. No one has ever died from an overdose of marijuana, because this is not even possible .

Yes, due to relaxation of alcohol laws and the promotion of irresponsibility by an immoral society, beverages that are known to help people's health are responsible for their death.

Regarding your promotion of dope:

I'm not sure where you got your information about marijuana not being overdosed and hence no death related incidents due to it (High Times perhaps?), but there are many cases where people have died or caused the death of others due to marijuana usage. Keep in mind that since marijuana is still illegal in most US States, that the usage is still miniscule compared to what it would be if it were legal.

pot heads are catching up fast on the driving impaired fatality list,
in Colorado up a staggering 145%

link

The 2013-16 period saw a 40 percent increase in the number of all drivers involved in fatal crashes in Colorado, from 627 to 880, according to the NHTSA data. Those who tested positive for alcohol in fatal crashes from 2013 to 2015 — figures for 2016 were not available — grew 17 percent, from 129 to 151.
By contrast, the number of drivers who tested positive for marijuana use jumped 145 percent — from 47 in 2013 to 115 in 2016. During that time, the prevalence of testing drivers for marijuana use did not change appreciably, federal fatal-crash data show.
And the numbers probably are even higher.

State law does not require coroners to test deceased drivers specifically for marijuana use in fatal wrecks — some do and some don’t — and many police agencies say they don’t pursue cannabinoid tests of a surviving driver whose blood alcohol level is already high enough to charge them with a crime

Alcoholic beverages are a major cause of violent crimes, but no one has ever been known to commit a violent crime or any kind of crime under the influence of marijuana. No one has ever died from an overdose of marijuana, because this is not even possible .

Miami cannibal cannabis smoker Rudy Eugene shocked the world by eating another man's face off and his autopsy shocked liberals when he tested positive only for marijuana and not the rumored bath salts.

Persistency of Cannabis Use Predicts Violence following Acute Psychiatric Discharge

For instance, results from the longitudinal Dunedin Study, which examined the relative risk for violence among different psychiatric disorders, indicated that after controlling for confounding variables such as other psychiatric disorders or other substance misuses (including alcohol dependence), marijuana-dependent individuals were 3.8 times more likely to report violence than controls (25).

Cannabis users are more likely to commit violent crime, pioneering research has shown.
It warned those who smoke the drug regularly run an increased risk of using violence against others.

"Here, we demonstrate that the active component of marijuana, Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), competitively inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) as well as prevents AChE-induced amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) aggregation, the key pathological marker of Alzheimer's disease." -- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17140265
