Weed bro dude, it’s like, natural, mannnnn.

NBC News:

One day in fall 2018, Bo Gribbon began to vomit and couldn’t stop. He threw up multiple times an hour from morning to night before his mother drove him to the hospital near their home here.

“It felt like Edwards Scissorhands was trying to grab my intestines and pull them out,” said Gribbon, then 17.

Over the next nine months, Gribbon went to the emergency room 11 times for the same problem: severe vomiting and screaming at the same time that lasted for hours. When a physician’s assistant told him the likely cause, Gribbon didn’t believe it at first. He had never heard of marijuana producing a side effect like that.

“The only thing that convinced me was that it stopped when I stopped smoking,” said Gribbon, now 20.

Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize recreational marijuana in 2012. Several years later, doctors in Colorado and other states are expressing alarm over the increasing potency of cannabis and the health risks it may pose for young users — from psychiatric issues, including violent psychotic episodes, to the mysterious condition that plagued Gribbon.

The condition — officially called “cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome” but now known to health care workers as “scromiting,” a mashup of “screaming” and “vomiting” — has popped up with increasing frequency at hospitals in Colorado, doctors say.

The ER at Parkview Medical Center in Pueblo saw only five scromiting cases in 2009. By 2018, the number had risen to more than 120, according to data compiled by Dr. Brad Roberts, an emergency room physician at the hospital.

Reports of the syndrome doubled in two different ERs in the state shortly after legalization, according to one study.

Roberts said the presence of these patients strains hospital resources. When faced with people suffering from bouts of nonstop vomiting, doctors often order up an array of diagnostic tests to rule out other underlying causes.

“We use up a lot of medical resources to see if there is anything more seriously wrong with them,” Roberts said.

A 2018 national research review called the syndrome “an increasingly prevalent and complicated problem for health care providers and patients.”

Cannabis has been consumed by humans for thousands of years, but relatively little is known about cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome.

The condition was first reported in scientific literature in 2004. The available research since then indicates that it stems from chronic use of especially powerful marijuana.

A 2017 review of studies found that 97 percent of people who developed the condition reported using marijuana at least once a week. About 75 percent said they consumed cannabis regularly for over a year.

…

Scromiting cases have increased as pot has become far more powerful, according to doctors. Experts say the marijuana consumed 20 years ago had levels of THC, the main psychoactive ingredient, of 2 percent to 3 percent, but cannabis products now sold in markets like Colorado can have THC levels as high as 90 percent.

Dr. Timothy Meyers, the chair of the emergency department at Boulder Community Health, said when he first arrived at the hospital 18 years ago, it was a condition he never saw.

“Now I see it practically every day,” he said.

…

Four Colorado doctors interviewed by NBC News said they’ve also seen an increase in the number of patients with psychiatric issues after consuming powerful marijuana. A 2019 study found that consuming cannabis with THC levels exceeding 10 percent increased the odds of a psychotic episode.

“Almost every day I see a patient in the ER who is having a psychotic break after taking high-potency THC,” Roberts said.

Dr. Karen Randall, who works in the Parkview Medical Center emergency room with Roberts, said she spent 19 years working in a downtown Detroit emergency room, but that didn’t prepare her for what she characterized as the high volume of “acutely violent psychotic patients” in Colorado.

“I never saw anything like this,” Randall said.

Marijuana has long been considered a nonaddictive drug that causes few, if any, serious side effects. It’s still not clear if it causes more serious mental health problems, but a growing body of research suggests it can have damaging effects on adolescent brains.

An increasing share of Colorado’s $2 billion cannabis market is made up of concentrates or other products with high levels of THC, according to Tim Ruybal Jr., who founded Dyspense, a company that tracks inventory for the industry. Ruybal said concentrates made up 43 percent of the market share in 2020, up from 32 percent in 2019.

“Evidence for how cannabis, especially in higher concentrations, impacts mental health is growing and stronger, especially on how it relates to psychosis and schizophrenia-like symptoms,” said Dr. G. Sam Wang, an emergency room doctor and toxicologist at Children’s Hospital Colorado in Denver.

“These impacts are seen more with higher-concentrated products and with more frequent use,” Wang said.

Before he began his career as the only journalist covering the coronavirus with any hint of honesty, Alex Berenson did research into links between marijuana use and psychosis, and found that it is very strong, based on all available data.

He wrote a book called “Tell Your Children.”

He also appeared on Joe Rogan for a debate with the Doctor of Weed. Apparently, Joe’s $100 million from Spotify included a genocide of all his old shows on YouTube (long story), but this 30 minute clip will probably do you. Most of the show was just the Doctor of Weed getting confused and agitated and Berenson having to repeat himself. The Doctor of Weed was also repeatedly trying to construct a strawman that saying “weed is dangerous for teenagers” is the same thing as trying to ban CBD oil from being used as medicine.

This will have to do you, because I’m not going on Spotify, ever, no matter what happens to me in my life – and I don’t suspect you are either.

The main point that matters is that since weed was legalized for medical purposes, they started using all of these scientific methods to enhance its potency. On the part of the farmers, that doesn’t imply maliciousness, but it changed weed from something that maybe wasn’t big of a deal into a super powerful drug that causes hallucinations and can induce schizophrenia.

I remember in the early 2000s going out to California and first laughing at the ridiculous prices they were paying for weed and then vomiting because it was so strong. That was when California had just started with the medical stuff. At this point, smoking weed is probably like dropping acid.

If weed makes women sterile, we obviously need to legalize it everywhere in the West to save women the trouble of using contraceptives and going through abortions.

For women, sterilization is empowering.

Study Finds:

A new study has revealed a concerning link between using marijuana and pregnancy. Scientists say tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the ingredient that triggers marijuana’s psychological effects, may also lead to infertility in women.

According to a study on embryos at the University of Guelph in Canada, exposure to THC leads to a drastic drop in the chances of a successful pregnancy. Testing the eggs of cows, researchers found that higher levels of the marijuana ingredient delayed the eggs from reaching important milestones in their development.

Megan Misner, one of the study’s authors, says doctors regularly warn women to avoid marijuana while getting fertility treatments. Until now however, Misner says the evidence to support that advise hasn’t been strong.

While many women may agree that becoming sterile due to cannabis use sounds good, not many would agree that becoming psychotic because of it is also a benefit.

Because most women are already psychotic.

Daily Mail:

Legalising cannabis would result in soaring numbers of people suffering from schizophrenia-like psychosis, one of Britain’s top psychiatrists has warned.

Evidence now shows that when the drug is legalised, greater numbers smoke it more frequently and in stronger varieties.

These factors increase the incidence of cannabis-related psychosis, according to Professor Sir Robin Murray, an authority on the risks of the drug to mental health.

He predicted that ‘big cannabis’ firms with scant regard for people’s health will ‘seduce’ the Government into reforming the law – and the State will then find itself in thrall to the new industry because of the tax and jobs it provides.

The warning is a major intervention from Professor Murray, who told The Mail on Sunday growing evidence about the harm cannabis causes had made him change his mind about legalising the Class B drug.

Previously the expert – a professor at the Institute of Psychiatry at King’s College London – had supported tightly controlled legalisation married with public education campaigns spelling out the risks.

But he said the experience of places that had decriminalised or legalised it – from Portugal and the Netherlands to swathes of North America – had made him think again.

…

One US study they cited found 30 per cent of users were now dependent, triple the proportion in the 1990s, with dependency growing as the strength of the drug increased. That finding accords with research published last week which found the drug can be highly addictive and can cause serious withdrawal symptoms.

Some reports found cannabis use increases the risk of depression and suicide, said the pair, ‘but by far the strongest evidence concerns psychosis’.

‘Numerous prospective studies have shown cannabis use carries an increased risk of later schizophrenia-like psychosis,’ they warned.

In fact, ten of 13 such studies showed users had ‘a significantly increased risk of psychosis’ while ‘two of the remaining three showed a trend in that direction’. Those who smoked ‘high-potency cannabis’ daily saw their risk of psychosis increase ‘up to nine-fold’.

This research has been ongoing for a long time, but the government simply ignores it.

Through legalization efforts, the government is encouraging the rise of an army of insane zombie mutants.

This was pretty much destined to happen.

Why do you think they put a marijuana leaf on their flag?

Yahoo:

The Great White North could find itself in a great white puff of pot smoke as Canada makes history by legalizing marijuana.

What started as an election promise by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2015 has led to Canada becoming the second country in the world to legalize the production, sales and distribution of recreational cannabis. Uruguay broke the mould in December 2013 but Canada is the first country in the G20 to move forward with pot legalization.

…

The prime minister placed the responsibility of selling, distributing and regulating marijuana under provincial and territorial governments, who will also be reaping the profits of pot sales, making Canada the world’s largest marketplace for pot stock.

Why are we not sanctioning this country?

This is a lot worse than torturing a journalist to death and cutting him up with a bonesaw – in fact, doing that is good. You can prove scientifically that dead journalists is a good thing for society. Is there anyone, anywhere, that can argue that marijuana is good for society?

Furthermore, you can say that Saudi Arabia is run by super-villains – but so is Canada.

All this does is dumb down the country. It puts them in passive mode, where the government can do whatever they want to them.

It will be smoked by children, and destroy their ability to become adults by locking them in a crippling addiction.

Look: if weed is going to be legalized, cocaine should also be legalized.

Unlike marijuana, which reduces brain function, cocaine increases it.

Legalized cocaine would mean a highly agitated, aggressive population that is demanding answers to political, philosophical and spiritual questions – whereas legalized marijuana means the exact opposite.

I’m not even saying cocaine is good or should be used, but the fact of the matter is that it is much safer than marijuana, non-addictive, etc. – and yet they are decriminalizing and now legalizing marijuana across the Western world, while there is absolutely zero talk of legalizing cocaine. In fact, cocaine’s legal status is the same as it was in the 70s, and you can do serious time for small amounts of it.

Furthermore, while there is a massive push in the media to legalize marijuana, there is zero comment on cocaine or any proposition from anyone that it should be legalized.

These things do not jive with one another from a standpoint other than that the government has an explicit desire to make people stupid and passive on purpose.

Take this scene:

Can you imagine the difference between the way a pothead and a person high on cocaine responds to this picture?

Because I can. 

Pothead: Like, everyone’s the same man, wow, this is enriching our culture.

Person high on cocaine: The fuck is this shit why are these people here what is going on I don’t want these people the economy the culture the social order everything is fucked with these people and speaking of fucking I do not want to fuck these women they look like fat mutant camels we need to GET THEM OUT and we need to do it QUICKLY it’s time to MOVE MOVE MOVE lets go now to the government office and wait outside until it opens because I am going to scream in the motherfucking faces of the traitors who are bringing these animals into the country we need to go now do you see my car keys do you have a car what kind of car is there gas in it lets go now we can stop at the legalized cocaine store and get another ounce on the way I know one that is 24 hours put your pants on quickly woman I have somewhere to be let’s fucking go already where are your keys I’ll drive we need to do this now RIGHT FUCKING NOW don’t worry we’ll get more blow on the way this is MOTHERFUCKING CANADA and you know what speaking of that I’m also going to demand that these fucks running our country put the Union Jack back on our flag what the fuck is this leaf shit why do we have that we are a British colony and that means WHITE we used to rule the entire world now we’ve got niggers running around everywhere and I have had it up to my tits with all of this bullshit do you understand quantum physics because there are infinite realities at the same time which means that there is a reality where the British empire still rules the world fuck I wish I was in that reality right now how the fuck did I get stuck in this one but you know what infinite realities also means that there is a reality in which I become president of Canada and round up all of these niggers and turn them into lampshades and soap and everyone thinks it’s hilarious I am thinking of running for office yes I need to run for office I’m going to fill out the form online while we’re driving you’re putting your pants on backward slow down for a second I have to go to the bathroom do you have one of those buttons that will start your car from here and turn the heat on it’s fucking cold out do you have any gum I can’t find mine no fuck it they sell gum at the legal cocaine store lets fucking roll out hold on I’m gonna try to piss again chop up one for the road and fill up that bullet and let’s get down to the government office and tell them to get these people the fuck out of CANADA
