Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) is when you smoke weed every week to everyday for several years and end up vomiting a lot.
What causes cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome?
Marijuana has very complex effects on the body. Experts are still trying to learn exactly how it causes CHS in some people.
In the brain, marijuana often has the opposite effect of CHS. It helps prevent nausea and vomiting. The drug is also good at stopping such symptoms in people having chemotherapy.
But in the digestive tract, marijuana seems to have the opposite effect. It actually makes you more likely to have nausea and vomiting. With the first use of marijuana, the signals from the brain may be more important. That may lead to anti-nausea effects at first. But with repeated use of marijuana, certain receptors in the brain may stop responding to the drug in the same way. That may cause the repeated bouts of vomiting found in people with CHS.
Since CHS was discovered pretty recently, some doctors might not know about it. Also, CHS is often confused with cyclical vomiting.

An Anti-Gateway Drug is a drug that acts to stop you from using more dangerous drugs. Like when you use Arecoline Hydrobromide, Methiopropamine, 3-Fluoroamphetamine, 4F-MPH, Adderall, Ritalin, Prolintane, Modafinil, Armodafinil, Flodafinil, or Hydrafinil to stay away from blue speed, meth, cocaine, crack, or bath salts (like a-PVP, a-PHP, MDPV). Modafinil and Armodafinil can help you quit caffeine. Kratom can help you quit Vicodin, Percocet, Krokodil, Heroin, Opium, and Fentanyl. 2-methyl-2-butanol, Etizolam, Afobazole, and Propranolol can help you stop trying Alcohol (ethanol) and benzodiazepines (Vallium, Klonopin, Xanax). JWH-018, JWH-073, and JWH-200 can help you quit THC, though you need to stack the JWH compound or THC with CBD. IndanylAminoPropane can help you quit MDMA and MDEA and it's a much milder entactogen-empathogen.
Tyler: I used to take Vicodin for my broken arm. Then I got addicted to Vicodin. Now I use Kratom and I no longer feel the need to try Vicodin. Plus, Kratom Kills pain. Kratom is my Anti-Gateway Drug. Also, My arm healed.

A speed head is someone who is tweaked on speed (Amphetamine, Ethylamphetamine, Blue Speed). They will be seen rearranging the cereal in grocery stores, typing fast on a keyboard, doing homework, dancing to music, pacing back and forth, talking a lot, cleaning. Some speed heads will be normally focused but oddly relaxed because of ADHD so they go from hyper to normal.
Normal person: I took 25mg blue speed and alphabetized my music collection. I became hyper.
ADHD person: I took 30mg blue speed and became focused yet calmer.
Third guy: So you're both speed heads.
ADHD person: I took 30mg blue speed and became focused yet calmer.
Third guy: So you're both speed heads.

HBr is short for Hydrogen Bromide. It's a gas that forms Hydrobromide acid when it comes into contact with the skin or lungs. Hydrobromic acid is an aqueous solution of hydrogen bromide, also called HBr(aq). Salts of Hydrogen Bromide are called Hydrobromide. An example is Arecoline Hydrobromide, or Arecoline HBr.
I bubbled Hydrogen Bromide into freebase arecoline that was dissolved in ethyl chloride. Now I got Arecoline Hydrobromide (Arecoline HBr, ArcoFuel).

The pieces of popcorn that don't pop even though you put 2 minutes and shake the bag. Flopcorn might seem like a bad thing, but if you think about it, flopcorn means less popcorn to steal flavor from the other popcorn, and a more buttery, saltier popcorn.
I ate all the popcorn and found flopcorn in the bottom of the bag, it was disappointing, but then I think back to how much better the other popcorn taste, then cheered up.

A cigarette is tobacco that is pre-wrapped. A single cigarette is called a loosie, while a box of cigarettes generally contain 18 cigarettes. Cigarettes contain nicotine, which is a stimulant, relaxant, and cognitive enhancer (although nicotine is generally addictive). The problem is that cigarettes also contain over 600 cancer causing chemicals which can be bad for you when smoked (burned and inhaled). An alternative is called a vape. Vaping is inhaling a vapor with nicotine and glycerin (vegetable glycerol) and propylene glycol. Vaping is at least 95% less dangerous than smoking and, unlike nicotine patches and gum, vape is actually way more effective at helping you quit smoking. The vaping flavors help too. Cigarettes used to be cool, but now vaping is cool. Smoking and vaping is for people 18 years of age or older in some places, 21 years of age or older in other places. It's the chemicals in cigarettes that cause lung cancer, not the nicotine. If you still want to smoke, go ahead, but consider switching to vaping.
Josh: You should quit smoking Stan. Try vaping!
Tawna: Yeah Stan. Try vaping!
Stan: OK. This is my last cigarette. I will switch to vaping.
*Smokes the last newport cigarette.

The speed alarm clock is taking a low dose Amphetamine or Ethylamphetamine an hour before waking up. You take 10mg of Ethylamphetamine powder premixed in water, juice, or soda at 6:30am when you wake up groggy, then go to bed, and wake up at 7:30am in the morning bright and energetic and confident. If you use Methiopropamine or something else that is milder, it would be speed jr alarm clock. If the Ethylamphetamine is Blue, it would be the Blue Speed alarm clock.
Tony: I woke up to the alarm at 6:30am all groggy and drank premixed 10mg Ethylamphetamine dissolved in soda I made from yesterday. Now I woke up all energetic and confident. Thanks speed alarm clock!
