The hidden dangers of cannabis
The hidden dangers of cannabis
Regina Denny lost her son to cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, an illness that affects some individuals who consume cannabis. Hot showers and the consumption of hot peppers are the only ways that individuals with CHS can find relief from the violent vomiting that this illness induces. Doctors are trying to find a cure, but currently the only way to get better is to quit consuming cannabis altogether.

She got CHS from weed, stopped smoking it and still supports the use of it. Wow! Some people ever learn!
Wikipedia spreads so many lies about CHS, claiming that a hot bath could relieve, but does not even mention that it can be deadly.
Smoked for 35 years went to efibles because of a diagnosis of mild COPD.
Did edibles for 9 years started to get massive fatigue.quit for 2 weeks back to edibles for a month again massive fatigue
Stopped again for 2 weeks started up with my edibles again and then the gut pain started.
I knew at that moment i had developed CHS.
Been clean for 40 days and im still having some gut pain but much better then when it started.
Never threw up ,never got nauses at all.
The gut pain is horrible.its just a matter of time now till im 100 percent.
Like i said im much better then when it started 41 days ago
I love weed but i will never go back ,its not worth it folks
When the pain outweighs the pleasure its time to say goodbye.
There is a saying ,Never argue with the body its a fight you can not win.
It’s not rare! TONS of people have this ….
Rip … i just wanna say that never in my 32 years have i ever heard of CHS. I know ppl who smoke like chimneys all their lives and ive never. How was he smoking it? Also was he just getting high without eating or drinking? Please understand that this is new to me but i will say i dont trust the dispensary weed. Every since weed became legalized its just like a new cr@ck epidemic. I use to feel relaxed and happy when I smoked (before legalized) now this new stuff gives me anxiety and all kinds of side effects. It’s not about the amount of weed he smoked (trust me) there’s something going on with the kind of weed the dispensaries sale it’s not the same home grown organic good stuff we use to smoke this stuff is full of chemicals… I stopped everybody needs to unless ur growing your own don’t trust weed with a label or barcode
Why hasnt any compnay come up with chs firendly product’s?
Some people just cant handle the rush of thc. Its regular to feel temperature changes and panic and nausea and pain and not being able to breathe for a moment after you inhale large amounts of cannabinoids.
Rest in peace little Bryan 😢
I know when growing up adults would tell us it kills your brain cells they never mentioned CHS. I wonder if Snoop Dog and Wiz Khalifa experienced this. How can people even use cannabis everyday? I understand if a person uses it for chemo or hospice but just to use it every single day because you love that feeling, is crazy to me. I don’t like that feeling of me not being in control of my body. Never use any drugs as a crutch.
He resumed smoking after nearly dying. You did your best mom. You did everything right.
*HE SECRETLY DEHYDRATED HIMSELF TO DEATH TWICE. WHY WOULD HE NOT WAKE HIS MOM UP? SMH. ITS RARE ASF AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS QUIT WEED.*
Cannabis were a ceremonial plant used in certain scenarios. Even the heavy users who decided to ingest it daily, went with a specific lifestyle not neccessarily represented by the modern ways of being.
Has there been more research on this? It’s so much more common than I thought
I have never heard of this consequence of CBD.. but i know people who usto Dab daily and it csn dry you out. Now im trying to avoid blunts ..my addiction i smoked two blunts a day. But i had Arthritis but now im in yht gym i see how it affects my mobility..i eventually want to not depend on the current herb
CHS IS REAL ANYBODY LAUGHING ABOUT THIS IS LIVING ON ONE BRAIN CELL THE VIDEO CLEARLY SHOWS AND PEOPLE DONT BELIEVE IT NOT EVERYONE GETS IT THATS TRUE ITS JUST THAT EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT
Do you smoke weed? Yes. Do you take hot showers? Yes. You have dhs. Um. I thought I just liked weed and hot showers. I keep blaming this on acid reflux but the way she describes her son is what I’m experiencing. I just came out of the hospital. I was vomiting for like 10-12 hours. Some hot red fluid I can only describe as blood. I was hospitalized for weeks at a time. Never heard of this chs but now I have to really think about this. Cutting out the weed for now.
Everything in moderation
RIP im sorry but this poor kid died of dehydration which granted was caused by EXCCESIVE use of cannabis but thats from extended over consumption no amount of THC in one shot will kill anyone
again dehydration killed the boy and if you throw up for that long you must know you are dehydrated
Why did she have a pot leaf put on his urn if that was his cause of death
Been talking with Alice and Erica for over 10 years. I still feel like we’re this isn’t being spread enough. CHS is, but the reality of it isn’t
Oh please talk about propaganda, some people can’t take alcohol some people have a nut allergy, some people shouldn’t take Cannabis.
I know people who used for 20-30 years and this never happened to them. You don’t see people doing videos on how people get side effects from alcohol. Exactly the same thing but alcohol is totally excepted. It’s really bad what happened but this is propaganda and extremely rare.
Or what ever weed he got was not pure and really this I have never seen in 30 years of knowing people smoke. That smoke has something in it as cannabis doesn’t do this to the normal persons.
Love to know who paid for this documentary. Weed never does this to anyone and his supplier must have had something in his weed that wasn’t good at all. I’m shocked and not sure if this is the full truth. That guy must have been abusing cannabis 1 to 2 grams a day is normal and like anything you use too much you get issues but felt like this video was trying to make cannabis sound horrible and as though it’s bad. How about do stories on all the alcoholics on America? Really bad the way this has been shown and edited. With the end part to make you sound like your being balanced with the reporting.
How much cannabis were they using? Where they abusing it? What other factors was going on with their life and other drug interactions? Sorry but I don’t believe this when we are not told the full background of these peoples abuse and use and addiction of the cannabis plant.
If you smoke weed and it makes you feel sick then just don’t smoke it, many people drink and feel sick and die from drinking but that’s not ever documented and videoed. I really am sorry for the loss and what happened but I feel like this isn’t the film story of these people with the cannabis.
If anyone smokes and it makes them feel ill then maybe use CBD instead.
I’m pretty sure I have chs
Back in the 90s when i smoked ganja we never heard of getting ill from it,probably because it wasnt the super strong genetically modified stuff they are smoking today.
Yup. Just got out of the er. Every 3 months like clock work I get this uncontrollable vomiting to the point it’s tinged with blood. Only 3 meds work for me. Reglan benadryl and morphine. I’ve been to the er atleast 15 times in the last year. I can’t work I’m currently sleeping in my car and everytime I try to cut back or quit cannabis it comes on 10 fold. I honestly feel like death going into the er. Sometimes by ambulance or I drive myself with flashes on puking BILE out my door. Thus really isn’t a way to live. And yes I’ve been a 420 smoker since age 14. It’s does wonders for my anxiety but now its killing me. I lose about 10 pounds everytime and I’m only about 135 lbs. I wish I could just quit.
The dangers are becoming less and less hidden
My son died from CHS several years ago as well. 🙁
So what percentage of people can develop CHS ???
I started smoking weed 2 years ago. It went from being my best friend to being my worst enemy.
It screwed my endocrinologist system up and it caused me to get hypothyroidism
Is CHS something continual or can there be episodes of it? I have someone close to me that has smokes since he was a teen. Now he’s in his 30’s. I met him when he was about 17 and he’s had about 10 episodes of what I now believe to be CHS. Hence the question, could this happen in episodes?
Weed, alcohol, wine beer etc
It’s all garbage
i use cannabis for chronic pain management for a dozen years now and for 6+ years have experienced all the symptoms of CHS but hot showers DO NOT help, they in fact make my pain and nausea much worse. Could this still be CHS?
I threw up every morning for years, would sit in the shower for hours vomit most days, i love smoking a joint but realising i had chs was a eye opener to why i became so sick, there were times i thought i was going to die the pain in my back and stomach was something ill never forget.
Never smoked weed in my life. Been smoking a pack a day of Marlboros for 30 years. Never had CHS or a psychotic episode……..
Think i’ll keep doing what i’m doing.
It’s not too difficult to avoid CHS. Just smoke less cannabis. Whew, that’s a lot easier than enforcing worldwide prohibition.
11:05 isn’t making cannabis legal going to create even more cases? Legal weed is what lead to her son’s death. I don’t mean to sound harsh but, making cannabis illegal; unless you have medical card could help minimize these CHS cases. Making it legal can lead to more cases. She should create a foundation in her son’s name.
I had a mild case every time I would smoke I would throw up.. it was sad that I saw myself keep smoking.. marijuana is addictive and I was a heavy smoker honestly I’m fighting the erge to smoke right now.. but I think it’s best if I stop completely
Does anyone know if cannabis hyperemesis syndrome is only signified by vicious nausea bouts for days on end or can it be more subtle like slightly nauseous in the morning and not knowing what’s causing it? Because I’ve dealt with nausea in the morning but it doesn’t last for days on end but it will last for hours before it will subside? Any insight would be appreciated
Haha barely anyone has it. Sucks for you guys but the herb is king no matter whattt
I just recently got diagnosed with CHS . It’s the worst feeling ever .. I’m barely in the first stage of it too so I can’t imagine how he felt . Please be careful if you smoke regularly …
Seen two people suffer with this. They were so addicted they couldnt even stop it was like torture. But both of them vaped also.
4:12 THE SECOND TIME HE LITERALLY SECRETLY DIED LMAO DIDNT EVEN WAKE HIS MOM UP💀🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
More cbd and less thc is working for me.
I use it medically and can’t imagine not having it at this time in my life.
Poor kid😢❤
Edibles and Vapes. Those are my triggers fof CHS. Having a joint here and there wont hurt. The second i give my body a full hit of concentrated THC my stomach will not react right. Theres definitely risks and benefits to everything so you just have to outweigh it for your own lifestyle.
What I think causes people to develop chs & have experienced it my self is because these new strains are breed to have high thc/yeilds & no cbd(no longer in its natural form), just like wheat has been breed for massive yeilds is causing people to have glutten allergies, same thing with cannabis, just smoke strains more natural like 40-50 years ago with some cbd/cbn ( around 4-5%) & no chs… why chs 20-30 years ago was unheard of
I am on day 64 of sobriety today. I believe I was dealing with this syndrome as well. Never vomited but weight loss, stomach aches , dry heaving. I am sorry for your loss.
Know what your smoking. Search out organic no till grown smoke. Most large scale commercial grows are using all kind of synthetic salts and grow mediums. Stay away from concentrates and that kind of stuff. It’s just too strong. Good organic no till flower is what you want. People smoke all kinds of herb that they have no idea how it’s been grown.
I have all this but the hot showers don’t help me. If anything I feel worse. But for 2 years I have had 5 of these episodes. I am self diagnosing that I have this as I would smoke a lot of high grade pot. I guess I am one of the unlucky ones to catch this.
DUDE WAS LITERALLY TOLD YOU HAVE THE RAREST THING EVER THAT CAN KILL YOU FROM SMOKING WEED AND HE SMOKED WEED TIL HE DIED. #DONTBLAMETHC
