I have back problems(dry and deteriorating discs)(etc) and weed/dabs help the pain, but coughing makes it hella worse

I can imagine. Iāve never had back problems but lately the coughing is coughing a massive ache at the base of my skull, usually triggered when coughing.

CHS is very real. Iāve smoked from 9-22 years old. I recently have smoked some conversion oil and high pgr buds in LA (not sure what caused it). And I puked blood for 6 days and went to 2 different LA hospitals. Very upsetting considering my whole passion and business revolves around cannabis. Afraid I canāt smoke againā¦. Any advice would be appreciated.
Take a break to break the cyclical symptoms, and when you come back, ease into it slowly and stop at a low dose. Every case Iāve heard of involves relatively heavy users (several grams of bud, or equivalent of oil). Iāve never heard of someone who uses < 1 grams a day suffer from CHS.
The only common denominator Iāve seen is āheavy useā (put in quotes because what stoners see as regular is often heavy by common standards).

How many people with CHS are just dope sick fiends? I am skeptical
You seriously think dopesick junkies would be forming online communities and whatnot trying to learn more about their mystery condition? All the junkies I know are fully aware of what being dope sick is.

If theyāre smart enough to get high. Theyāre smart enough to prolong being high and mitigate/endure negative effects
Only time weed has ever repeatedly given me a stomach ache, we got some cbd isolate, after testing found out it had over 1000ppm of pentane, if I ate it without a full belly, terrible excruciating stomach aches, didnāt get to try hot shower.

Lots of people have read chs in article headlines and have never heard of greening out. I have a buddy with it, its definitely real but its way more uncommon than people think. Alot of people get feeling bad confused with chs, you cant only smoke flower or dab less if you have chs, if you can consume any amount of cannabinoid you definitely do not have chs you probably just need a break, find cleaner stuff, smoke cleaner, etc, in my opinion. The name is cannabinoid hyperemeis syndrome but you dont have it if you green out, thats just smoking too much weed. The name is not the best because it misleads people into thinking they have it if they puke or get sick. Chs should be the diagnosis when the reaction of ingesting any amount of cannabinoid, psychoactive or not, looks and feels more like an allergy or poison. My buddy for a long time, 6ish years, couldnt smoke a flake of weed or he would have some adverse side effects like stomach pain, nausea, if he had anymore than a flake he would need a hot shower for awhile and be in pretty severe stomach pain, puking, groggy and stuff on top of that. Im talking flakes, probably less than 10mg thc after smoked. It also happens with cbd, thats been my way to test if its been thc or the high making him uncomfortable. The same shitty side effects would occur when having a bit of cbd flower or concentrate.

They failed more than once at that attempt and the streets still found a work around
I had a friend in high school that got CHS once. 3 of us smoked a quarter bag on a Sunday, he didnāt come back to school until Friday. His parents took him to the hospital because he was throwing up pretty bad on Monday, doc said he had CHS.
He told us he basically had the munchies for 3 days straight and just kept eating until he puked over and over again. He didnāt smoke for a month after that, never happened to him again though.
Doesnāt sound like CHSā¦

Imo very few MDs qualify as experts on CHS.
Iāve seen two folks diagnosed with it, and believe one of them was spot on.
The other still looks like lazy on the MDās part.

Iām inclined to think whatever CHS is has more to do with the gut biome than the brain personally.
What do I know though, Iām just a forklift driver pretending to be an expert.

Then flinging poo should solve it.
Which sounds like a testable hypothesisā¦

Agreed, although Iāll not be volunteering for squirting someone elseās poop up my ass.
I think Iād rather just not smoke weed, lol
Worth noting: my old friendās CHS diagnosis was almost 20 years ago, Iād hope thereās better information on the subject nowadays.
