A father describes how he thought the legalization of marijuana was a good thing until he learned about concentrated THC products designed to attract young users like his son, who developed cannabis-induced psychosis.

The expansion of marijuana and other drugs has overwhelmed our communities and become a regular part of our culture. This new age of industrialized THC allows predatory practices and well-funded campaigns to target vulnerable populations with minimal accountability. Our neighborhoods and schools are becoming unsafe. Families are under-educated and have minimal tools and resources to prevent, manage, or recover from the impacts of cannabis addiction, psychosis, toxicity, and other mental challenges that come from using these products. Our legislators consistently hear from drug advocates and lobbyists, and they do not hear enough from us.

Hi and welcome to the very first Every Brain Matters podcast. We ask you to subscribe to our podcast and give us a good review as we share valuable important information.

In today’s podcast, Roneet Lev, MD FACEP was the first Chief Medical Officer of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, ONDCP, 2018-2020,  describes CHS, Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome. CHS is a serious illness that is not well known, but EVERYONE should be highly concerned about because it’s one of the leading illness related to the marijuana. 

Many people today have been told that cannabis is healthy for them, and in some cases, use it medically.  But recent data from Emergency Rooms across the country has shown that even casual use can have a negative effect, and there are side effects that can be dangerous to your health, even deadly.  

This is part 1 of our series where we take a look at CHS, with medical experts and people who have been directly affected.

Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome or CHS Symptoms are 

-cyclic or recurring vomiting often with screaming or what is called “scromitting”; 

-serve abdominal and body pains and people tend to take hot showers or baths to relieve their symptoms. Sometimes they end up with scald burns just trying to find relief.
