Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome.

Anyone here suffering from Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome? Thanks.

EDIT: Well.. it seems to be affecting my periumbilical region, including the rectum as well. The only way to avoid this is via ingestion?

No diagnosis, and I'm by no means a hypochondriac, but I just read about it and feel I have it mildly. Why do you ask?

I suspect it is less of a marijuana problem and more of a toxic pesticide buildup. Not all or maybe even not most grows (especially illegal ones) grow organically and/or without pesticides.

Examples of prohibited pesticides being used:

So get some pot grown with no pesticides at all and see if it still happens.

Pesticides are generally a bad idea for health reasons. Also check out all the should-be-illegal pesticides on your frickin' food: www.whatsonmyfood.org
