There are a lot of people out there who claim weed is a harmless drug but there are a number of studies out there that have documented the adverse effects that extend beyond ordering enough Chinese food for yourself to warrant three fortune cookies.
In 2012, voters in Colorado passed an initiative legalizing the sale and consumption of recreational marijuana within its borders, and since the measure was passed, the state has been a breeding ground for research examining the impact the decision has had.
While the economic benefit appears to be positive, not everyone is benefiting—including the steadily rising number of people who have been diagnosed with a mysterious illness linked with heavy marijuana use.
According to Business Insider, a group of clinicians in Colorado published a paper earlier this week looking at a phenomenon that’s been dubbed “cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome.”
According to their research, a large hospital outside of Denver has seen a dramatic increase in the number of patients diagnosed with CHS, which can induce severe nausea and vomiting.
It was the number one cause of the 2,500 documented marijuana-related hospitalizations between 2012 and 2016 (they also noted people who ate edibles were more likely to suffer from a bout of psychosis).
Doctors have been fairly baffled by CHS since a group of Australian physicians discovered the disease back in 2004, and while they don’t know exactly what causes it, they do know the only cure is to quit consuming marijuana entirely.

Your welcome.
In fields such as epidemiology, social sciences, psychology and statistics, an observational study draws inferences from a sample to a population where the independent variable is not under the control of the researcher because of ethical concerns or logistical constraints.
In this case the constraint is the federal government. A different type of research study is required to determine actionable causal connections. With observation alone no other variables are considered and what we’re left with are questions. Ain’t science wonderful. Just say’n.

An Observational study is exactly what it sounds like.
In fields such as epidemiology, social sciences, psychology and statistics, an observational study draws inferences from a sample to a population where the independent variable is not under the control of the researcher because of ethical concerns or logistical constraints.
In this case the constraints are the federal government. To demonstrate any meaningful or actionable inferences a different type of research is required. What we’re left with here is just more questions. Ain’t science wonderful. Just say’n.

Thank you for your comment. Respectfully, you didn’t read the article all the way through. This IS documented and not anecdotal. https://annals.org/aim/article-abstract/2729208/acute-illness-associated-cannabis-use-route-exposure-observational-study

Causality is determined by strictly controlled studies not anecdotal occurrences. Due to our federal drug laws marijuana research in the United States is very rare to nonexistent and any stories being reported must be seen in this context. If you are interested in learning more about the subject long term research on the usage of cannabinol’s look for studies done by researchers in Israel, England or Germany.
Bare in mind that eat certain food is harmful to a subset of the total population consuming them. Just say’n.
