Closer look at marijuana illness CHS and top medical news of 2016
CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook takes a look at a marijuana-related health illness where diagnosis could be often missed: cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, or CHS. He also reviews the top medical news of 2016 including the Zika virus and the opioid crisis.
Its the chemicals that are inhaled. Just lile cheap alcohol that causes blindness and illness. same thing with dirty or poorly grown cannabis.
I had chs for a whole year horrible abdominal pain constant vomiting. I lost 30 pounds in one hear. I’m only 17 and my state is illegal so I never told I was using. Until today!
and? now you get the real news and what they didn’t tell you about using drugs……..and why the special interest groups didn’t tell them they could have their kidneys shut down and suffer even worse symptoms than pain….when using marijuana.
The mainstream media and the pharmaceutical business are in it together. BULLSHIT. Try again.
Oh CBS I have never been a fan because I didn’t trust you, now I know why. Be careful what you watch people because fake news is everywhere, here included.
Wow a lot of basement dwelling cannabis addicts can’t handle reality. CHS is a REAL condition, it really fucking happens. I had this shit after ten years of cannabis use and it’s not something that you want to turn a blind eye to! Most especially if you’re a cannabis advocate, people need to be aware of what can happen. Fortunately it’s not going to kill anyone, but if left undiagnosed it can ruin peoples lives.
This syndrome is incredibly real. I’ve been using for 5 years since I broke my neck. Marijuana was the only thing that helped my pain, anxiety and depression. I had my first episode 2 years ago of cyclic vomiting and this syndrome was brought up. I didn’t even believe it because I thought it was BS. After 4 more episodes and the last one losing 14 pounds in 11 days, being hospitalized 3 times and wishing that I died I knew I had to change. I stopped smoking completely and have gotten so much better since. If you have this syndrome, look up trigger foods! Black pepper, cinnamon, clove, basil, chocolate, caffeine and alcohol can trigger an episode! You’re not crazy, this syndrome is real!
STOP THE PROPAGANDA! I have this! I have CHS for 9 months now. and I finally discovered it has nothing to do with the weed! my life makes sense again. it is the pesticides that are used to keep the buds bug free! NEEMOIL is what is poising us! not THC. spread this! u don’t have to stop smoking!
I’ve been a medical and recreational user for many years with no problems… Legally grew my own for personal use. My CHS symptoms started mainly with daily use of edibles. Every morning I would have these terrible nausea/vomiting/dry heave episodes that would come out of nowhere about an hour after waking up. The cyclic nausea/vomiting episodes would last about 30 minutes every morning then go away. I could not figure it out, thought i was dying, cancer, etc. So glad i found out about CHS. I am pro legality so I’m definitely not trying to spread propaganda and the pesticide angle makes sense, but i never used pesticides and still got the same symptoms. It’s real for some doesn’t mean for all.
This is very helpful i have been using since 16 I am 20 now and dealing with this process . This enlightens me to be better , it’s true a real syndrome . It’s what makes junkies who can’t stop using 24/7 who give bad name to rec marijuana…. to change its BETTER NOW THEN NEVER. Those who deal with this you’re not alone I’m changing as I type . It all begins in the mind!
i used to smoke 2 gramms of weed everday with my bong for the last 5 years on the first june 2018 i woke up in the morning smoked a few bong heads and went along with my day ( i whas coughing alot during those 5 years) i smoked a nother bong head around 12 ocklock mid day AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN i felt very very dizzy my body startet shaking i had to trhow up my heart whas racing i had panik attacks i went to hospital 2 times in 2 weeks with an ambulanze somthing whas wrong i had no idea whats going on and i stopped smoking weed BUT IT TOOK ME 3 MONTHS to feel normal again!!!… i can smoke cbd weed with less than 0,2 % thc with no problem but i tryed smoking weed a few times since and it gave me always panik attack´s… the only thing that seems to work is stop smoking thc…
Never in a million years did I think there was something like CHS from smoking pot, yet it happened to me. And I was only smoking 3-5 hits of homegrown cannabis (no pesticides) every evening. I quit pot for three months and now am allowing myself a small amount twice a month and I’m fine.
I have it.
SUPER IMPORTANT. I Visited the hospital with a 17yo friend who suffered with CHS… She almost died until we found some.research that changed everything. She was non stop throwing up for 9 days, extreme stomach pain.with lots of stomach acid, couldn’t hold down water… she Lost 20 pounds and was down to 80 lbs and we couldn’t figure out a way to stop it she was literally wasting away. The Dr told us.that a girl went to hospice a few weeks earlier for the same thing and another had a drain inserted for acid removal. Everything was going really really bad UNTIL we convinced them to give her this stuff called HALDOL AKA HALPERIDOL. Sweet baby Jesus within hours things changed no more throwing up and she could keep down food. We thought we were going to lose her and like a damn miracle it all changed. I wanted to share this because nobody not even the doctors knew what to do. Remember, there is a reason why they call it "Practicing Medicine".
It really does happen to people but he just got to slow down and then you’ll be able to smoke again after a couple months maybe two 3 but I didn’t believe I had it that’s what I meant
2:30 – "I just want to EMPATHIZE, it’s not just in states that have legalized recreational marijuana."
report this people make youtube take it down
This is real and the easiest way to get it is heavy daily dabbing. Everything in moderation.
I see a lot of ignorant comments on here. Folks, the age of marijuana is just getting started and if you think you can’t over -indulge, your’re missing the point. Everything in moderation.
Chs is real I fought this to the end but it was for real
Chs is very real. All these people that deny it are probabably the same people that think earth is flat.
Smoked pot 20 years never got a illness,just the munchies
YO its not caused by the marijuana, its from the pesticides that are in all club weed, grow you own the issue is gone.
I am clinical proof CHS is real. I have medical records to prove it.
Why do you think they call it dope… Anyhow?
When u smoking that bunk lol
the reason people disliked this video is because weed is illegal in their state. weed is legal in my state. CHS is real. Its stupid people are still getting defensive about weed on youtube when its legal in many states. This information is helpful to longtime smokers. its called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome.
I heard antihistamines work for chs
Another wrong diagnosis created by the Medical community. Great job on not doing any other research, typical for a doctor or a news network. Take a good look at Azadirachtin poisoning, same symptom. Same relief from hot showers. Its not the cannabis causing a paradoxical effect, its azadirachtin poisoning a natural chemical that is used a lot in cultivation of cannabis and works as a broad spectrum of pest control applications from insecticide to miticide to nematicide. However it is now being phased out by smarter farmers, and marijuana users with previous CHS diagnoses have no issues using cannabis that isn’t cultivated using azadirachtin.
zika was created by man.
Sooooo you’re saying it’s still a safer alternative to narcotics, alcohol, and tabbacco? Gotcha👍
TELL THE UK!! WE NEED TO KNOW, NOW!
Stop giving false information about cannabis,and why don’t you cover a story of how cannabis saves peoples lives. You are disgusting CBS. Take this down
Dr. Jon LaPook is clearly informed and it’s astonoshing to hear about the endocannabinoid system on CBS This Morning.
It’s resin related. There’s a natural product that relieves it immediately
Currently working at a dispensary, for you retards that think this is a "mith" I would love to hear of your education. CHS is actually a extremely real problem, it usually relates to non-flushed product or toxic pesticides used. Stoners who are in denial that there life drug (which I was also in denial) has side effects. For those that think it isn’t real please google "carsinigens and thc" and look how they react 😉 fucking retards. Stop smoking a lot it saved my life. Get over ur pathetic dependency and learn moderation.
Ive read the "organic" pesticide neem oil being used by cannabis growers is toxic and causes cannaboid hyperemesis with cvs (cyclical vomiting syndrome).
Ive had this before. Trust me if you dont want to stop smoking, switch to clean pure non bho Dabs. They help alot.
Doctors, cannabis: conflict of interest. They’re wrong.
Moderation. Doesn’t matter what your consuming, moderation is vital.
I’m not sure if that’s what I have or not. But I’ve been vomiting for no damn reason daily for a week and a half. The nausea is brutal and it did roughly begin around the time I took up pot again
I belive I’ve had this a few times maybe even now that I’m back smoking for a year already and it stopped after I took a break from smoking for a few years , crazy I wonder if it can cause cancer
I have chs
Fake asf lies
Everything has a toxicity level
I’m confused… So you get nauseous WHILE HIGH and DURING smoking?
Utter propaganda bullshit. "Now all kinds of ambition has come back, I desire so much more in life and at 37 years old, it’s a little late to do it but, better now than never" This is written almost word for word like weed propaganda. I guarantee if looked into, this guy is being paid to say this shit. The argument that it’s happening more now because it is legal is bullshit. What you are insinuating with this is that many more people are using it now than in the past because of legalization. I’m sure a lot of people who didn’t use it before decided to try it out, maybe some are still using it, but the VAST majority of users already where using it. None of this adds up.
I’ve been a super heavy user of cannabis since I was 14 (now 20) I smoked from 2 grams to 7 grams A DAY! I’m trying to quit smoking and it’s only been 3 days and I have been experiencing the worst stomach pain and nausea feeling in all my years of life! Never did I EVER think cannabis would give me such a horrible Ill feeling when trying to stop after 6 years of heavy use! Very scary! Any advice is helpful in alot of pain 23 hours a day so far
One question.Why hasn’t this happened in Holland?
alcohol will and does kill people
