Losers gone lose.

Can we please talk more about the SCROMITING for pete's sake, why am I the only one noticing this new word for SCREAMING and VOMITING at the same time WUT??

I had always said I’d rather my kid be around stoners than heavy drinkers — in my own experience, drinking was much more associated with danger (drunk driving, assault, etc). But today’s weed really does seem different than the kind I’d known.

I know three kids who wound up in psych hospitals for psychotic episodes after regular cannabis use. These are ordinary kids, UMC, good schools, loving families. All three lives permanently affected. One of the kids has been on and off the streets, it’s just an absolute nightmare for the family.

I keep trying to warn my own teen, and I’m sure I sound like a Charlie Brown mom, or Nancy Reagan or something. I’m so far from Nancy Reagan it’s absurd. But something is happening that is very scary.

Scromiting omg!!!😱

Happened to a friend’s kid. Has really derailed his life.

Definitely causes paranoia and psychosis … have seen it in a neighbor whose life is spiraling and it is devastatingly sad.

It may or may not cause psychosis in any given individual. It may or may not cause cognitive damage. I think, however, that long-term use will almost certainly have negative side-effects. Remember how long Big Tobacco tried to hide the devastating effects of smoking? Smoking marijuana, like smoking tobacco, carries many of the same risks, with the added bonus of mental impairment. Moreover, like smoking tobacco, those exposed to secondhand marijuana smoke are also exposed to toxins that put their health at risk.

Never mind any of that. Smoking is cool again, kids!

Im sad by how many people use it here like its no big deal there are going to be long term issues with this.

This has been known for decades. Why do you think certain political interests and big pharma push for the legalization of it? That very reason.
Also, a stoned populace is more easy to control in every aspect.

I think 95 percent of people take it in moderation without any issues.

I agree... my two fiends that do it on the regular are both paranoid and anxious a lot.

It sure causes delusional paranoia in my neighbor! His poor wife and kids.

Apologies for the spam posting if you've already seen this.

Marijuana use causes mental illness and psychosis.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih....MC9462911/

"People who have taken large doses of the drug may experience an acute psychosis, which includes hallucinations, delusions, and a loss of the sense of personal identity"

"Countless studies have also linked chronic cannabis use to schizophrenia. A meta-analysis in January examining 591 studies concluded that early marijuana use among adolescents was associated with a significant increase in the risk of developing schizophrenia"

"California cannabis emergency-room visits climbed 53% in the three years after the state legalized recreational marijuana in 2016. Daily marijuana emergency-room visits in San Diego nearly quadrupled between 2014 and 2019. Cannabis-induced psychosis, she said, is fairly common. Some patients she treated experienced cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome from long-term use, which causes “scromiting”—screaming and vomiting. There’s no antidote. Some patients spend weeks in the emergency room waiting for placement in mental-health clinics."
