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.

Get the cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome mug.A fairly common syndrome, one that is worldwide, seen in some wealthy folks who, despite having anything they want at their fingertips, are still insufferable assholes.
Although it is tempting to explain away Benedict Donald’s obscene behavior as being attributable to Gilded Asshole Syndrome, it remains more likely that his obscenely disloyal actions are due to intellectual and characterological deficits.

Get the Gilded Asshole Syndrome mug.It is a debilitating condition that affects some of the population. If your penis tastes sour then you have the sour penis syndrome. Most people with the sour penis syndrome do not realise it, but subconciously are extra grouchy because they know nobody will suck such a sour penis. Do not try to suck a penis of someone with sour penis syndronem, it is very sour and you will regret it for days. You cannot cure the sour penis syndrome but some topical treatment with sweet condiments may temporarily allow others to suck on the sour penis without too much hassle, a few seconds at a time. It is not recommended to do this often with the same partner because they can get fat from all the sugar.

John Boehner and Mitch McConnell represent classic cases of Marie Antoinette Syndrome, their Congressional Health Care plans provide them with the best Health Care in the world, but they have fought against making health care available to the masses, appearantly unconcerned that thousands of Americans die every year because they can't afford basic health care.
