I had chs and I did not know I had it. I was smoking weed for 30 years. My chs came about 3 years ago. The first thing that happened was I was smoking a spliff, and halfway through smoking the spliff, I had very bad stomach pains and stomach cramps and I vomited and didn't understand why, so I continued to smoke. 3 months before this happened. I split from my wife and children, so I was already in a bad state of depression, not sleeping, and not eating too much. I continue to smoke after this first bout of vomiting. After this first bout of vomiting, i could not eat food, and my insomnia kicked in very badly. Maybe I'm just eating two spoons of my dinner per day, and maybe 2 to 3 hours of sleep a night. But I continue to smoke. I worked through this whole period doing manual labour, and somehow my body was still functioning, and I felt strong even with lack of sleep and hardly eating food. I was functioning on Coca-Cola, Lucozade, and spliffs. Basically I was ill for 6 months and continue to smoke without knowing the reason for my sickness. 6 months later, I hit a brick wall, and my body started to shut down. I went from 17 and a half stone down to 12 stone in 6 months. I started getting stomach cramps, stomach pain, vomiting from time to time gastro problems, hypnic jokes when trying to sleep. Tinnitus in the ears. Body shaking once I did fall to sleep when I woke up with tremors. Muscle spasms. Muscle stiffness. Muscle pain. Bone pain. Muscle spasms in my back . Found it hard to walk. Numbness down my legs. Vomiting and nausea.Waking up with numbness in my arms and hands. Muscle spasms in my throat every time I lie down to try to sleep. Constipation. Haemorrhoids, I could not urinate properly. The Muscle spasms in my throat when I try to lie down, causing my throat to close, and i could not breathe when I lie down. All this time, i was going to the doctor's and getting nothing back from the doctors. But muscle relaxant tablets which I could not take. And sent me for every check-up you could imagine and found nothing. They did find I had developed a hiatus hernia,. I was told by the dr to sleep sitting up due to the muscle spasms in my throat when I try to lie down to sleep. So I had to sleep sitting up. Has more time went past, the muscle spasms in my throat got so bad that I could not smoke because my throat started to close when standing or sitting. This obviously stopped me from smoking. My anxiety and depression were so bad from missing my kids and all the symptoms from the chs and I was still not diagnosed. I felt like I was dying. My nervous system was in a very bad way. I done researching everywhere and came across CHS. I then took this to the doctor, and they diagnosed me with CHS. I continue to work through this whole period. Looking back, I do not know how I got through. But I think the continuous moving of the body was helping me somehow. I started to eat a little better and slowly slowly I started to put my weight back on. After 1 year when I was able to lie down without my throat going into spasms I started to sleep a little better slowly slowly. It's been 2 and a 1/2 years since stopping smoking. After 1 year, I was still in a very bad way, with many symptoms still remaining. Through this whole period, having hot baths with Epsom salts was helping me a great deal. Putting warm olive oil all over my muscles was also helping. Drinking bone broth also helped a lot. After 2 years, my haemorrhoids started to calm down. I was able to go to the toilet better. Both urinating and pooing. It's been 2 and 1/2 years, and I'm still have tinnitus in the ears and spasms in my back and back pain, but it's nothing like the spasms and back pain I had before. I'm still suffering a little bit with insomnia. And when I wake from sleep, my arms and hands still go numb and numbness down the outside of my right leg. The biggest help I have found in my healing period was through cranial therapy. When I start to feel quite good, sometime I would try to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes. Drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes seems to bring back some symptoms. I tried to drink sometimes to test my body. But then I realised I could not drink. Same with smoking cigarettes. Some symptoms start to come back. I have come to the realisation that I can not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes. And obviously cannot smoke cannabis for the rest of my life. Even standing next to someone who is smoking a spliff affects me. I was always a very fit and strong individual and felt invincible. But this whole experience has humbled me. Please look after yourself and your health mentally and physically. The one good thing I can see about CHS is that if you stop smoking weed and live a healthy life it can go away. As I said I still have some symptoms. But I feel like if I look after myself hopefully I pray to God that all my symptoms will eventually go away. it is possible that there is damage done that cannot be repaired from but I am very thankful and go forward with a positive mindframe. It is very good to see that there is information out there for people to find. It did not occur to me to go on TH-cam and type in chs back then. But even the videos on TH-cam here do not talk about half my symptoms. I obviously took chs to the Brim. And maybe I'm very lucky. But it is very good to see there is information out there and people are learning more and more everyday about CHS. If you feel you have CHS the beginner of CHS or you feel you have had it for a while please stop smoking now. Go and seek help. As I said the best thing that I found helped me was cranial therapy and God. God bless you all out there, peace 🙏
This comment section is honestly making me feel so supported, I just got diagnosed today after months of chronic nausea, and waking up at exactly 2 am to through up almost every other night, I would smoke more to make the nausea go away and to get some sleep considering my everyday responsibilities wouldn’t pause for my vomiting or stomach issues. This put me in a terrible cycle of feeling terrible, smoking, feel better for a couple hours then feeling terrible again. I absolutely love weed and have been smoking everyday for the past 3 years. Knowing quitting is the only thing that will make me feel better makes me nervous but I know I can’t live like this for any longer. Sending love to everyone going through this, it’s not easy at all.
I think I may have chs I'm not sure been smoking daily nearly 2 years and my life is so hectic I'm not even sure how to quit as its so ingrained in my routine shits tough
This is extremely eye opening and I hope this story sheds some light. I’m 31 years old, started smoking chronically everyday since 16-17 years old. Around 25-26 I started to feel extremely nauseas every single day, mornings, afternoon and night and I couldn’t touch any food in the morning even if you paid me. Eventually it led to more severe anxiety, abdominal pains that led to me do every cat scan, MRA, or test a doctor could do under the sun. I went to every specialist, I went to every homeopathic doctor. I did everything you could possibly do to figure out why I felt this way everyday. All while smoking weed every single day, lots of it. And never linking the two because I loved it and used it as a crutch so much. I think I knew but I always shut the thought down or played stupid internally to it being weed because without weed I would be lost… stupid I know but that’s weed and chronic abuse. Last night I smoked, ate and threw up and dry heaved and went to the hospital for 10000th time in a decade. Again, you’re healthy blah blah blah nothing they can do. And I can’t blame them, CHS is rare af and doctors are idiots. My gf sent me CHS today, I just threw away all my weed and I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to quit this badly in my life. Today is the day, I quit weed.
1 full week tomorrow for me, my story is so similair, I was genuinely at the point where I thought I had some sort of terminal illness so I just avoided doctors after a while and accepted my fait. That’s how addicted I was. I saw this video around 2 weeks ago and it has LITERALLY changed my life. I thank God for leading me towards this man’s incredibly helpful content. I wish you all the best brother may you live a healthy and happy weed free life.
Just got diagnosed today. CHS is no joke. I've loved weed and been a daily stoner for the better part of 10 years. The last 4ish months, I've been violently nauseaus everyday and my body started rejecting food. I am an eating disorder survivor and have pretty intense depression and anxiety. For a long time, weed was the ONLY thing that would help me eat and help my anxiety. I am so relieved to have a diagnosis after all these months, but I am beyond sad about having to leave weed behind. Also extremely nervous about my mental health and sleeping habits. Very glad to have found this video and seeing a community of us in the comments 🖤 We got this.
@Bigbawsz honestly better. It was really hard to ween off weed and the recovery period was rough, but I haven't been sick in a while and it feels good to eat again :)
Completely understand the utter depression of realizing I don't have the crutch I once had. Weed was like a best friend turned worst enemy. You're not alone ❤
Wow, everyone’s story here really hits home. I think I have been struggling with CHS for years without knowing what my problem is. And to hear all of these people’s struggles with CHS and THC addiction…. I know what I need to do. NOTHING is worth feeling that horrible. Thank you Dr. Frank. I will rewatch this video many times throughout my journey.
Oh no you will definitely know there is something wrong. I lost 10 kg in a week. Could eat or drink anything anymore. I was vomitting everything out immediatly
I'm 22 years old and I have been sober for 2.5 years. I was diagnosed in 2019 after around 4 years of daily cannabis use. While I still advocate for the many health benefits cannabis can have, I am also a strong advocate for the dangers that prolonged weed abuse can cause. My kidneys were hardly functioning, I developed colitis, and I was told that if I did not stop using, I would die in less than 6 months. My dehydration was so bad that I had muscle spasms and would lose control of my hands and fingers. For around a year, my body was shutting down and I was contributing to it by using weed to relieve my symptoms. To this day, I still suffer from digestion and stomach issues. I never thought I would quit. I would have rather died than quit. I am clean and healthy with a great support system and friends and family to hold me accountable. If you're struggling with CHS and cannabis dependence, you can get through this. Your experience is valid and I am here to help!
Damn bro that is crazy I relate so much I’m 21 n have had chs for a year or two crazy how I caught it so young makes no sense to me I love weed so much I hate I have this shit I was sober for 10 months and thought I could just smoke weed again but was wrong n been strugglin w stayin away from it fr need more support
As someone who suffered with this thank you so much for sharing this. This shit almost killed me. I didn’t believe it but now I do 110%. I quit smoking for 2 years and not a problem and within a month after starting back up I almost died. I will never smoke again. If you ever go through this horror trust me, you will quit smoking.
@@DOPE_SMOKE I’m a woman, I think you saw my son’s video 😂, but I was literally in the hospital for 12 days. It just came on suddenly and I mean suddenly like a lightening strike. The vomiting was so violent I cannot compare it to anything. I could literally feel my life force leaving me. The first 5 days straight I puked and screamed, that’s how violent the vomiting was. I started freezing and could only find some comfort in a scalding hot shower. I was given a cream that’s burns to help with the vomiting but I ended up having an allergic reaction and the shit felt like fire on my stomach. I couldn’t even sip water. I was so miserable I literally didn’t sleep a wink until the 12th night, and only slept for 10 mins. I couldn’t even control the movement of my eyes. I get emotional even thinking about it. I’ve been severely burned, had a pulmonary embolism, and suffer from severe migraines and they don’t compare. Not even childbirth. I’m crying as I’m typing this. I cannot express enough in words how horrible it was.
I've had this twice. I went to the hospital the first time. The emergency room knew what it was. So that good. Nothing they can do but rehydrate you and give nausea medicine. Good video!!
My life and overall health is more important to me than a hit of weed. Thanks to this man I didn’t end up on a downward spiral to my very own demise. I caught this syndrome on time before it killed me. I am a month free of THC and I’m still recovering and very weak. But I know not to ever touch it again. The knowledge from this man here saved my life. From the bottom of my heart , Thank You . 🙏 Every time I’m tempted I watch your videos.
What I hate the most is that now I don't have PTSD and OCD help. It was a miracle for my mental health. I'm fucked and so depressed. I just started using a few years ago and responsibly, and that's how quickly it was taken away. Having to suffer with PTSD and OCD again is fucking awful. Cannabis got me off opiates. Now I can't use cannabis. And apparently there's no recovery from this. I hate it so much. Absolute bullshit.
@@FoxtaleHi can you see a therapist? I am seeing a psychiatrist and going to counselling for ocd and ptsd. It is very helpful and I feel like I’m no longer alone
Was a weed smoker for 20 years. It was a refuge for me and sleep aid. Developed CHS last year culminating in a visit to the ER. Despite the tortuous experience and hospital bills, I ended up smoking again after a few month....had another episode worse than the first a number of months later. Honestly, it's a blessing to have weed removed from me. I guess it took this sickness to get the point across that it was really wrecking my life, potential and relationships. It had become part of my identity. Make no mistake, weed is a drug that can have dangerous consequences. It's not just a plant!!! We are all living proof of that. I used to be an advocate for the legalization however, after some states made it legal, these growers mess with the composition of the plant to increase the THC. I believe that is why we are seeing such an increase in CHS cases.
yes! medical marijuana made me even have psychosis i believe. its stronger and then i wonder if anything else is making it more addictive.. cant prove that just a feeling.. im on day 5 quitting when i had pretty mild side effects i observed.
I’m posting this because of the profound effect CHS had on my life. I had a particularly sour case, and am still going through its effects. My symptoms began three weeks ago. I woke up constantly vomiting for up to four hours, but as the day progressed it would get better, until I reach a threshold of smoking at which my body completely shut down. I was unable to eat a single piece of food for 12 straight days. I ended up in the ER with almost both of my kidneys failing. I dropped from 180 to 158 lbs. Before this I was a perfectly healthy individual. I worked out 5-6 days a week, running 5k and 10ks, had a nearly perfect diet, and drank plenty of water. I don’t consume alcohol, tobacco, or any other drug. My only hope is to spread awareness of this horrific syndrome. I have a fear of sleeping due to how I would feel waking up, I have a fear of turning my head because of fear of nausea, I wake up in a full blown anxiety attack out of a genuine fear of my symptoms returning. I had both an upper and lower endoscopy to confirm I had beyond a perfectly healthy GI system and have been to multiple specialist to essentially receive a diagnosis by process of elimination. I’m sober and will never smoke again. The nausea I experienced was worse than any pain I had ever felt. I, as a grown man, broke down in front of my parents crying, begging for help because I had no idea what was wrong with me and no idea where the end was. Promethazine and Ondansetron did nothing to help me. All I can say is I wish everyone here the best of luck and the best of health
I broke down in front of my parents crying too. Just wishing they could help me and comfort me in this terrible agony. Lord knows how many prayers they have probably said for me. I have no excuses anymore, I know what’s wrong with me.
At the age of 74 yrs old I was diagnosed with 3rd stage kidney disease a few months past. For the past couple of weeks I have felt that my kidney function is decreasing. This morning I ran across this video which made sense to me. I smoke or take a tincture once a day in the evening to help with meditation and relaxation. I am discontinuing cannabis use as of today. Thanks for the info.
@@keeliesterling2630 After about a month I was feeling pretty good, and about 2 months was mostly back to normal. Now I feel great, havent smoked since like march 2023.
For those who feel that hot showers help, I know that sometimes we have responsibilities that we cannot ignore even if we just threw up 10 minutes ago. So if you don’t have time to take a shower try putting on tiger balm or capsaicin cream on your stomach. Currently working wonders for me.
I was just diagnosed with CHS a couple days ago and the more I learn about it, the more excited I am to be fully sober and feel better again. This condition is no joke. I had 3 visits to the ER within 4 days. I’m now 2 days sober and can already see a difference with how I feel in the morning. I smoked everyday for about 5 months and developed this syndrome. The pain I am going through is incomparable to any other pain I’ve felt before. Looking back, my CHS symptoms early on were waking up in the morning with knots and some cramping in my stomach, but of course, weed helped with this. Little did I know it was the cause.
I am on day two now, it all started a yr ago w cyclical vomiting. I don't even know how many times I've been to the ER in the last year, even the last three months. I'm happy you felt differences straight away and I hope you're feeling MUCH MUCH better now. Cycle broken
I was diagnosed yesterday. I was passing out and vomiting in the ER waiting room. I can still only keep water down. I'm so scared and angry at myself but also I just couldn't stop, maybe this is a blessing? I want to be free. The hot shower thing - and the fact that i confessed my weed usage immediately, even though I live in an illegal country- was what helped them diagnose me. Right now I would live in the shower if i could. Thank you for the straight talk, and bite size chunks of information.
I was diagnosed with CHS two weeks ago. I'm 60 and a type 2 diabetic. Thought I was dying. The paramedics knew me by name. Been clean one full week and will NEVER go back. It's hard but I have good support.
Thank you so much for getting this out there. I've been a chronic smoker for years 24/7. I'm 13 days clean and ended up in the ER. BEEN SOOOO SICK! This gave me the resolve to get this crap once out of my life!!
Turn to Jesus. Let him be your high. Everytime you feel the enemy attacking tell him to get behind you and ask God to give you everything you need. He is your source of strength...not weed.
Currently experiencing this syndrome . Smoked for 13 years straight and always tried to find higher thc percentages when I did smoke . The highest percentage of weed I smoked in my Life was 40 percent and I rarely went below 30 percent. The fact that I did dab carts and edibles doesn’t help either . Currently my body wakes me up around 9 am everyday and I barely sleep at night . Around 7 pm is when I start to feel normal but I get an anxiety attack around 9 pm . I know this will pass and I’m currently on day 9 of being sober . To anyone reading this who is struggling just know this will pass, you will get through it I’m not through it yet but I will never lose my faith in God and I will never go back
Yeah isolated distillates that oversaturate your Endo cannabinoid system of Cours... and 40% let me guess you’re in Oklahoma ha ha ha... or they sprinkled some keef on it whatever man... you know the margin of error is like 20% anyways... that’s if the lazy lab rat cleaned and re-calibrated between every sample ha ha ha...
Did you ever had problems before you smoked 13 years ago? Sometimes the munchies could get the best of you. I used to down 3 doughnuts, a whole pizza, 2 litter of mountain dew and cheese every nite. I ate so much cheese i couldnt shit right. Then i found out i had a big hemorrhoid from straining from trying to poop.
@@mchankerhoff853I'm trusting in nothing but the blood of Jesus to pay for my sins to keep me out of hell. Just like accepting a plea bargain in court.
My brother got CHS and had to quit. He was puking and staying in the shower all day everyday. And a Dr realized staying on the shower was common for CHS patients. And my brother quit and is fine now.
@nisa3695 idk I guess he felt OK when he was in the shower? But it was the bud doing it to him. He smoked all day every day. And he just started puking one day. And he would feel nausea and only thing that helped was Taking a really hot showers. He ended up in the hospital and luckily there was a Dr there that had heard about my brother. And he knew alot about cannabinoid syndrome and that's what my brother had.
@@joshuat5140 I'm guessing the hot water causes the pores to open which allows water to come into the body. I've read some people aren't able to consume anything so with the body being dehydrated, it's the only form of consumption it can get.
For someone suffering from it (just got diagnosed a few days ago) you have no idea how sharing your experience means the world to me. It truly makes me feel less alone in a world where everybody think that "weed cant do no wrong". From the bottom of my heart, thank you
im feeling this rn, i wake up feeling like throwing up, nausea, diaherra, and my stomach feels like its filled of air, whats your symptoms? I feel so bad for the past 4 days
I was in denial that this was my issue for the past year. Thank you for sharing, and I'm glad I found your videos. It's only been 2 days for me and its awful but the videos and FB groups are making me feel a lot less alone
@@landonmurray3814 it’s been one month and 12 days💕 the universe has been testing me so hard but I’ve been resilient; I hope everything is good on your end🫶🏻thank you :) 💖
I quit when I was 44 because I just didn't like the feeling anymore. I was also a cigarette smoker, so I was caught in the nasty cycle of lowering my blood sugar with cannabis and then smoking a cigarette to raise it back up. So glad I quit both addictions!
I just figured out that for the past 6 weeks I was in early stages of this. It feels like someone is squeezing my balls all the time. abdominal cramping but no vomiting. I would take another kidney stone before I go through this again. I'm so glad I didn't get to the vomiting phase before I figured out what I had. doctors are clueless, missed 2 weeks or work. I'm grateful that I was able to self diagnose. thanks to people coming out and talking about it.
Like thousands of people, I had never heard of this until I became very ill with this severe condition. At first, I thought It was food poisoning, but then the throwing up kept coming for 3 days, although confused, did some research and realised what I was dealing with. I stopped all marijuana cold. Took me 6 days to recover and not 100% but the nausea is finally gone and feeling better. Please pass this along. For the record, i was using sativa, 2 to 4 grams a day for 18 months.
I'm sober now for 4 1/2 months after smoking for over 20 years from the time I woke up until I went to bed. I tried smoking half a one-hitter after quitting and it made me miserable. I know I'll never smoke again. I am now on blood pressure medication and was diagnosed with esophagitis and gastritis which I'm also on medication for. Things have gotten much better now.
I dealt with this for 2 1/2 years, I counted 49 times at the ER over that period of time. I was a habitual marijuana user and refused to believe that's what was making me sick. It started out almost unnoticeable, maybe once a month or so. But after the 1st year, I was sick 3 or 4 times a week, and it wouldn't stop until I went to the ER for meds. I was told about CHS nearly every time, but I used cannabis as a way to cope with every day for many years, so it was very hard to believe and accept that it was making me sick. The ER gave me nausea meds everytime, they'd give me the really strong meds that were mostly antipsychotics. I started developing tardive dyskinesia everytime they'd give me those meds. Scariest shit ever. Im blessed and so lucky I stopped the whole thing before it was permanent. I last went to the ER 4/18/22 and quit cannabis the next day. I haven't been sick since. I was 110 pounds, and now I'm 150. I had always been afraid to quit, but like others said, not getting sick every morning was a huge plus. If anyone here is in denial like I was for nearly three years, I know it's hard. I went from hitting my vape or dab every half hour to being sober from it for over a year, and I'm so much happier. Life is amazing and while I do miss cannabis, it's SO not worth it!
hi! im a second year med student. halperidol is often useful for CHS, cannabinoid 1 receptors suggest a possible mechanism for its beneficial effects in managing nausea and vomiting! hope this helps x
@riotpb10 Yikes lol. Instead of sounding like an ignoramus on the internet, all it takes is a quick Google search "antipsychotics for nausea and vomiting" lmao, but 👍 Especially before you call "BS" on a complete strangers experience.
Recently diagnosed with CHS after 6 hospitalizations in the past 8 months. 10 days clean. NOTHING could make me go back to cannabis and go through that torture.
How are you feeling on day 10?? I’m on day 6 and I literally almost had an anxiety attack that’s why I’m here, I feel like I’ve been getting better slowly but every morning it just all comes back
in Canada people here have no doctors and there are many waiting lists. as a young adult finding a new doctor. going through this has been a challenge. You will try You will fail You will Learn again.. and ultimately you will quit with enough lessons from trying to quit. eventually it gets to the point where you realize how many times you've quit. and you realize you need to live without it even in moments where you might want to try it cause "what could hurt" this. this exact thing will hurt you again. over and over again. for all of eternity. if you stop. you didnt stop once. you have tried to stop multiple times. and then you took the effort to actually follow through to learn the mistakes you have made in quitting the first couple times. in order to make a real impact on your mind to realize how easy it can be if you make the correct decisions going forward. Goodluck. you got this if you know what im talking about.
Day 13 sober the hardest part is the insomnia plus nausea it’s the worst in the morning. Anyone else feel this way? Update day 24 of no weed nor vaping, my insomnia i would say it went away i can sleep a full night without waking up in the middle of night. Morning nausea is still random i noticed now i really can’t drink any coffee nor energy drinks without feeling like shit. Still have headaches here and there but still going strong.
This is happening to me now, I have smoked weed for 50 years and the last two years I began getting sick, I seen a report on it this morning on good morning America, now I know what the problem is, I need to quit! I can't quit! I've been high for 50 years, I don't know what to do, this is scary
I’m still not sure if this is my problem because I’ve only smoked for 4 months and all the people I hear that had it has been smoking a very long time and a lot of it, I think smoking too much of it could also do the same thing as chs
No doctor will ever diagnose me with this but I deep down know this is the root of my issues. I went from smoking to vaping to edibles because my upper respiratory issues got so bad from this. I’ve been having gnarly symptoms for the past 4-5 years. Constantly hacking, clearing my throat, dehydration, having chest pain in the middle and on my left side, and having acid reflux like symptoms. I haven’t vomited chronically like others from this condition but I believe it can affect everyone differently. It’s so bad you feel sick everyday and it really affects the quality of your life. I’ve seen so many doctors and have had a number of tests done on me. It got to the point where I had a Nissen Fundoplication surgery. It’s the gold standard surgery for people with Acid reflux. The surgery did absolutely nothing for me and now I can’t throw up. I believe this has only made things worse for me not being able to release the toxins. I never wanted to believe it was cannabis but it’s the harsh reality. I’m currently two weeks weed free and I’m absolutely committed this time around. I believe my body will heal from this but it’s going to take some time. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to use THC again but maybe things will change after my body recovers. If anyone else has had symptoms like this from CHS share your thoughts and know you’re not alone!
These are literally normal things for a stoner. Extra flem, dry mouth, acid reflux. Slight nausea. If you love weed it's just part of it. Drink cold water during a smoke sesh and no munches before bed helps a lot. Eating a lot before bed causes gurd. Aka bubble gut/sour stomach and acid reflux
@@randywoodward6367 My symptoms are not normal for people that smoke weed. I don’t even smoke I would only take edibles because of my condition. Coughing up blood is not normal whatsoever. It’s fine if you don’t want to believe CHS is real no one does till they have it.
@@randywoodward6367You have no idea what you’re talking about. I know what normal stoner symptoms are and I’ve experienced those😂First off I was only doing edibles and I promise you this condition is real. If it was something as simple as mild nausea and acid reflux I wouldn’t be complaining. It literally turns your life upside down. It gets to the point where you are sick everyday. Even days after not doing THC, it takes months to fully recover. Every weed smoker is in denial of it till they go through it, because they don’t want to believe it’s the weed. Trust me I’ve been there.
This is like my 8th time getting chs . Longest episode I quit smoking 2 weeks ago. I been waking up 4am on the dot everyday for two weeks . I wake up perfectly fine then anxiety hits an every chs symptom and getting sleep is impossible
Thanks for these videos I was so lost of hope and it’s only been a week for me. Smoking again isn’t even on my mind the crazy thing is I was planning on stopping smoking because I’m going to school for nursing. I was smoking heavy these last few weeks preparing to stop and then this happened to me. I thought it was from drinking too much but nope this was the issue. So far I’m a week sober from both and I just want my body back. I love eating spicy foods and creole food and this condition is stopping me from eating my favorites. This was definitely a eye opener! I love my life and my son way to much to go out like this! When I get the urge to smoke I go walk my dog or shower instead.
Thank you for this video.. I'm 5 days of quiting and its not easy.going to doctor tomorrow to make sure i didn't damage My body.all i can say is even smoking weed even if its off and on it will catch up with us. I will in life never go back. There is help out there if we need it .all i can say is quit and never look back at it
I am also 5 days in of quitting. I have been feeling sick for years and thought smoking was helping me instead it may have caused more damage. We got this ken!
I got an acute kidney failure last year because of this and I started smoking again cause i didn’t wanna believe in it yknow but you and I gotta stop smoking weed right now
this is not a joke, i’m 19 and smoked for 4 years straight. STOP WHILE YOU CAN!!!! The high is NOT worth it, im 7 days clean and am sick as a dog. slowly getting better, but im still puking in the morning. the rest of the day im just light headed and nauseous. I’m constantly in the bath (right now) and i wish i could live in here because it is the only time i feel ok.
I have had CHS diagnosis after smoking weed every day for the past 25 years, mainly sativa strains (haze, amnesia, etc). I was never motivated to quit smoking weed until I had the diagnosis. Now I am clean for 14 days and I am convinced it is the only way forward FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. also, the synthetic variant of THC, being HHC gives the same syndrome. To my experience even worse. Good luck for all the people being diagnosed with CHS. Find pro help, go to self-help groups, and change your life for good. It is the only way forward. ❤
Heavy smoker since 12 currently 20 and after my 5 th er visit because of heavy vomiting dehydration ect I am 2 days clean and hoping it will get better I believe it's all these chemicals and pesticides that people now use that's fucking with out brains DNA everything but look what can you do these criminals won't stop because a few of us died from it like herding and cocaine it's all about money to them but we're in it together maybe some day 🙏😊🤕
@@mixmastermorris good for you hope i get the same energy to quit. My longest was 5 months. Problem is im so heavy invested. Bought very expensive equipment like grow control computer, osmosis, multiple tents and lights and even a rosin press. I even started a career out of it showing off my results on social media and being part of the cannabis culture on tournaments for extracts and homegrown.
I have never been able to do anything I want, I'm nearly 30 and I can't think of a single thing in my life that I choose/wanted including a son(wouldn't give him up but not my choice) Weed is the only thing I choose and it's real emotional having to give up the one thing In my life I choose. Any thoughts, ideas or help anyone has would be great!
I’m 16 and have been smoking rlly bad fake stuff from this cart for about 2-3 months every day. I quit about 50hrs ago and I feel HORRIBLE. I’m matching all the beginning symptoms with CHS.
I was diagnosed back in 2004... And like many others I did not believe it! Especially since cannabis used to help with nausea. I've gone through multiple episodes, the last one about 6 years ago. Every time I've experienced CHS I've cursed cannabis because of the hellish symptoms you experience while 'sick' with it. Well, now 6 years later of using and being CHS free I've started experience the beginning signs of CHS about to take place full force. In the past I would still smoke to try and cover up the nausea even though it made it worst! So... I'm stopping the usage before it gets full blown CHS! I started having flashbacks of the hell I went through, ER visits, extreme weight loss, muscle weakness, etc. So I'm trying my best to prevent it this time. Please believe people that cannabanoid hyperemesis is very REAL. Peace to you all 🙏🏼
That’s how I’m currently feeling right now, lost my job my car and was told i can’t smoke weed anymore because what i thought was gastritis is actually Chs 😮💨 i feel your pain
I am 20 years old. I have been smoking frequently almost every day for the past 3 years coping with moving away from my abusive family and living alone. the thought of smoking weed is the only thing to get me out of bed most days, no antidepressants ive tried helped the sadness, it was one of the only things there for me. I can feel my skin tingling and numbing, i am severely b12 deficient, ive been belching and throwing up bile ocasionaly on and off for about 2 years now. Ive been in prodromal for a long time and if i dont kill my weed addiction, weed will kill me soon. Its just better to learn how to live on without it, even though it feels like it may be uprooting your whole life and identity
I know someone with this, and she refuses to believe it’s what it is. She’s lost alot of weight. She keeps going to doctors and emergency rooms but they can’t find anything wrong. One ER told her she has CHS because they found weed in her bloodwork (she’s a heavy user) and she just refuses to believe it. I wake up every morning to the sound of her heaving and retching. I feel bad for her😢
I am only 22 but I was diagnosed with CHS when I was 21, for the last 2 years I have been to the emergency room about it like 30 times… I do not wish this syndrome on my worst enemy, hard is an understatement😖 can’t drink water, can’t eat, a constant pain, belching, no energy, dehydration, and lightheadedness, it helps to know that I am not the only one going through this😖
I almost relapsed today. I’m so happy I turned around as the blunt came to me and got in my car and drove home. I am 5 days sober Tonifht. And one of the hardest things I think I’ve done in my life I’m 24 but we can do this. I’m tired of being a slave to the weed and feeling miserable every morning. I want my life back!
@@AddictionMindset thank u sir. I’m still having no appetite but I’m doing it and that’s all that matters to me! I’m hoping tonight I get to dream dream dream
I know someone who has been smoking weed for over 40 years. Approximately 10 years ago he started with a vomiting episode that lasted 8 days. It would come on quickly and leave just as quickly after the 8 days was up. He has horrible abdominal pain, vomiting all day and night, cannot eat or drink anything. Now I notice that it is cyclical, meaning it usually comes in the spring March/April and again in August. Not sure why this is or if maybe he is just smoking more at these times. I have been searching and searching trying to find out answers to his sickness. He had an endoscopy and colonoscopy and everything was fine. Nobody had any answers. When I suggested it could be the weed, he didn’t want to hear that. Now I found this and wholeheartedly agree it is definitely the weed causing this. I pray he quits for his healths sake before it is too late. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
I went through this and still am I went to the doctor with weeks and they just told me they didn’t know what was wrong I quit smoking and it stopped hurting for the past month I’ve just been dealing with horrible stomach pain for the first 3 hours of my day, everyday I’m finally trying to cut it out completely.
I’ve been smoking since 17 I’m now 33 I have had numerous operations and procedures because of chs I had my appendix out first and still the problem persisted! I have been in and out of hospital over 50 times in the 15 years of my smoking life , I new I had this syndrome but I always said it was something else like stress etc , the doctors always sent me home because they new of my heavy cannabis use I was smoking high quality cannabis with high thc levels! Yeah I just had a little baby boy and enough is enough I now tell my self that my health and not getting high is a priority , I think I had a relly bad case of chs! I woke up 4 weeks ago and didn’t smoke and I will persist with this as I want to be a healthier person! I struggled for the first week and I’m still haveing bad dreams and sweats at night but I feel so much better ! Health is wealth
i started smoking at the age of 14 and by the age of 16 i was diagnosed with chs. i am 22 now and this has been an ongoing issue in my life. reading all these comments about how people were able to quit so easily makes me ashamed and even envious that it hasn’t been that easy for me. as much as i’ve gone through this (probably about 20 times at this point) It never gets easier but i’ve reached the point in my life where all i want is to stop this cycle before i do some serious irreversible damage to my body. chs and my addiction to weed has cost me my sanity, relationships, jobs and experiences, this thing is no joke! as i sit here in the hot shower typing this, bawling my eyes out i pray that this is the last time I ever have to look up a video about this or feel the way that i do in this moment. sending love and prayers to anyone going through this.
My fiancé has been struggling for 4 years, doctors in Alberta kepts telling us it was all in her head. One day she was constanly nauseous & vomiting, called and ambulance and the EMT knew immediately it was CHS. God bless that man! That was 3 weeks ago and she's doing much better!
My mom has this and been struggling with it for 2+ years. She’s also in Alberta. A dr finally found out it CHS in this past December. She is still using. She is in the hospital now for another “attack” from food. It’s not the food. She came to visit us in the states for 2+ months and didn’t smoke anything here and had zero attacks and ate what she wanted. She’s been in at least 10+ ambulance rides. Admitted to the hospital over and over. She’s OD’d twice taking something from the streets to cope with the pain from CHS. She’s lost so much weight. She might die in this.😔💔😭
At least you admit it. That's the first step. You can quit if you want to friend. Don't let your physical well being suffer for no reason. Your life is worth living. You have purpose. Seek it in the light and leave the darkness behind you.
Honestly i really believe my issue is constipation. Straight up. Ive gone through this for 20 plus years, come to find out i dont poop enough... SELF DIAGNOSIS
CHS was the worst thing I ever been through, i was in the hospital 10 times in 1 month needing liquids … Idk how someone would even wanna go back to smoking after having it
I ate an edible and an hour later my hands got extremely cold my stomach went numb and cold I was extremely dizzy and it felt like I would faint it almost felt like my soul was leaving my body. I went straight to the ER clenching my stomach of pain and all blood work, EKG test and CT scan came back normal. But I knew deep inside there was something wrong. I was sent home with a fat bill and no answers. I now know CHS is what I had. I had very little to no vomiting in my case mainly dehydration and a mean stomach ache and body ache. Best thing to do is stop any weed intake! I’m on my second day! Pray for me!
Man I’ve been getting tests done over and over trying to find out what’s wrong with me but I think it’s this. I have thrown up so much my stomach started bleeding. I don’t know if I have the strength to quit though… I never realized HOW addictive weed is…
I think this might be what’s wrong with me but I’m not sure because I heard it happens to people that have been smoking for years at least 1 year and I’ve only been smoking for 4 months I’m not sure if I have this or if it just been smoking too much recently
I think I have this. I’m in the middle of quitting right now because of it. The horrible feeling in my stomach constantly is making it a lot easier. I came here to see if there was anything else I can do to soothe this. I’ve been vomiting nonstop for well over two weeks now. I just want it to stop. I’ve been hospitalized a year ago and I think it was because of this. I was in a feeding tube and almost died. Wish me luck. I honestly, honestly really hope that I have this so I can just stop smoking and be done with it. The doctors didn’t give me enough information on it the first time I was admitted. I wish they had. Maybe I would have listened better. If you suspect you have this, it never hurts to try stopping for a while. I’m only 18 years old, and have only been smoking for 2 years. This is why they didn’t take it seriously enough I think. I don’t think it’s very common at all in people who have been smoking for this little amount of time chronically at such a young age.
I know hundreds of stoners and I don't anyone who got CHS. It must be pretty rare. I have smoked weed for over 50 years now, over an ounce a week of good green bud for many years. I cut back because my tolerance was nuts. Now I smoke 7-10 grams a week and get higher than when I was smoking an ounce. I still love it and don't notice any negative effects.
If you do have chs do not ever smoke weed again I just relapsed smoked 1 day and the next day it came right back and it hurts so much please just take my word for it it's not worth the smoke .....
Thank you for making this video. And thank you to everyone sharing their stories here in the comments. I was diagnosed with CHS a few months ago, it was absolute hell. I thought I would never smoke again but as we all know, addiction is insidious. It's so hard :(... I have been mostly sober but do smoke once a week or so and haven't felt any negative side effects but I know i should quit permanently.. for those of you who had reoccurring episodes - had you smoked chronically again or just occassionally?
As addiction works, I started off small & ofc it progressed to daily usage again, back to the wake & bake, yada yada & it’s bad again, it’s been about a 1 year of chronic use after 6 months sober & I feel just as badly as I did before. It’s definitely a wake up call considering these symptoms just resurfaced 4 or so days ago - I absolutely recommend quitting all the way unless you can truly limit yourself.
I was bed ridden and lived off bone broth for two weeks thought I was going to die stopped for a year started again and I feel the symptoms creeping up
I truly believe I'm experiencing chs right now. I recently just quit. For the past couple of days I have been having chest pains and stomach pains also nausea.
Been smoking from the past 15 years. The doctors could not figure it out. They removed my gallbladder but my episodes didn’t stop. Quitting seems like the only option as nothing can fix it. Doctors would just prescribe you antacids but that still won’t solve the problem. Hot water showers worked wonders for me. The doctors are unaware of this condition and won’t be able to treat it.
I don't know if I have CHS but I'm sick as a dog from wake up to almost night. Now I can't seem to ever sleep enough I'll sleep all day and still be so tired and nauseous. Weeks/months of being sick everyday. I poop 15 times a day it seems. Always tired always nauseated... Gnna give quitting a try. Been smoking all day since I was 13 I'm 37. Hard to believe weed could be doing this but I have to try. Pray for me
I had chs, and I did not know I had it. I smoked weed for 30 years every day. My chs came about 3 years ago. The first thing that happened was I was smoking a spliff, and halfway through smoking the spliff, I had very bad nausea, stomach pains and stomach cramps and I then vomited, i didn't understand why i vomited so I continued to smoke. 3 months before this happened. My marriage broke down, and I was missing my children so much I could not cope, so I was already in a bad state of depression and not sleeping or eating much. I continue to smoke after this first bout of vomiting. After this first bout of vomiting, i could not eat food, and my insomnia kicked in very badly. Maybe I'm just eating two spoons of my dinner per day, and maybe 2 to 3 hours of sleep a night. I continue to smoke weed. I worked through this whole period doing manual labour, and somehow, my body was still functioning, and I felt strong even with lack of sleep and hardly eating food. I was functioning on Coca-Cola, Lucozade, and spliffs. Basically, I was ill for 6 months and continued to smoke without knowing the reason for my sickness. 6 months later, I hit a brick wall, and my body started to shut down. I went from 17 and a half stone down to 12 stone in 6 months. I started getting stomach cramps, stomach pain, vomiting from time to time, gastro problems, hypnic jerks when trying to sleep, and tinnitus in the ears. once I did fall to sleep, then I woke up with tremors. Muscle spasms. Muscle stiffness. Muscle pain. Bone pain. Muscle spasms in my back . Found it hard to walk. Numbness down my legs. Vomiting, nausea.Waking up with numbness in my arms and hands. Anxiety, muscle spasms in my throat, throat tightening every time I lie down to try to sleep. Constipation, Haemorrhoids. I could not urinate properly. The muscle spasms in my throat when I tried to lie down were causing my throat to close. All this time, i was going to the doctor's and getting nothing back from the doctors with regards to why I was getting all these symptoms. The doctor was offering me muscle relaxant tablets, but I could not take them because they made a lot of my symptoms worse. the doctor was telling me to sleep sitting up due to my throat closing when lying down. They sent me for every check-up you could imagine and found nothing about the causes of my sickness. They did find I had developed a hiatus hernia. As more time went past, the muscle spasms in my throat got so bad that I could not smoke because my throat started to close when standing or sitting. This obviously stopped me from smoking. My anxiety and depression were so bad from missing my kids and all the symptoms from the chs, and I was still not diagnosed. I felt like I was dying. My nervous system was in a very bad way. I was researching everywhere and came across CHS. I then took this to the doctor, and they diagnosed me with CHS. I continue to work through this whole period. Looking back, I do not know how I got through. But I think the continuous moving of the body was helping me somehow. I started to eat a little better, and slowly, slowly, I started to put my weight back on. After 1 year of me sleeping sitting up, I was finally able to lie down without my throat going into spasms so I could lay down. I started to sleep a little better slowly slowly. It's been 2 and a 1/2 years since stopping smoking. After 1 year, I was still in a very bad way, with many symptoms still remaining. After about a year and a half, they found a 7 mm polyp, which they cut out of my stomach. Through this whole period of me being sick with chs, i had found that having hot baths with Epsom salts was helping me a great deal. Putting warm olive oil all over my muscles was also helping. Drinking bone broth also helped a lot. After 2 years, my haemorrhoids started to calm down. I was able to go to the toilet better. Both urinating and pooing. It's been 2 and 1/2 years, and I still have tinnitus in the ears and spasms in my back and back pain, but it's nothing like the spasms and back pain I had before. I'm still suffering a little bit with insomnia. And when I wake from sleep, my arms and hands still go numb and numbness down the outside of my right leg, mainly my knee and thigh. The biggest help I have found in my healing period was through cranial therapy. When I start to feel quite good, sometimes I would try to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes. Drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes seems to bring back some symptoms. I tried to drink sometimes to test my body. But then I realised I could not drink. Same with smoking cigarettes. Some symptoms start to come back. I have come to the realisation that I can not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes. And obviously cannot smoke cannabis for the rest of my life. Even standing next to someone who is smoking a spliff affects me. I was always a very fit and strong individual and felt invincible. But this whole experience has humbled me. Please look after yourself and your health mentally and physically. The one good thing I can see about CHS is that if you stop smoking weed and live a healthy life, it can go away. As I said, I still have some symptoms. But I feel like if I look after myself hopefully I pray to God that all my symptoms will eventually go away. it is possible that there is damage done that can not be repaired from but I am very thankful and go forward with a positive mindframe. It is very good to see that there is information out there for people to find. It did not occur to me to go on TH-cam and type in chs back then. But even the videos on TH-cam here do not talk about half my symptoms. I obviously took chs to the Brim. And maybe I'm very lucky. But it is very good to see there is information out there, and people are learning more and more every day about CHS. If you feel you have CHS the beginner of CHS or you feel you have had it for a while, please stop smoking now. Go and seek help. As I said, the best thing that I found helped me was cranial therapy and God. God bless you all out there, peace
Trust me.. The pain of chs is comparable to childbirth. But I've been rushed to the emergency Room numerous times over the last 6 or 7 years and the only thing would work was a huge shot of delaudid(sp?)
Self diagnostic myself Herr but this really seems to what I've been dealing with for years.I really don't want to give up one of the few things I enjoy but it looks like I must.😢
During Covid I was under extreme stress. The entire world was. At that point in my life I was only an occasional recreational smoker. Maybe twice a week. During lockdown I started smoking every single night. Just once. But it was every single night because I figured what the hell are the rules anymore. Fear and uncertainty led to this. Three years later this habit has remained. I am experiencing these symptoms especially under duress or traumatic stress. I have quite a lot on my plate right now, so I'm going to begin a period of abstinence. When I do experience relief, I may go back to very occasional daytime partaking but the chronic nighttime use is over. This video has been a godsend. Good luck to everybody out there who's trying to manage this.
I'm also going through CHS quite severely at the moment. A real disappointment that took me a long long time to figure out... As you said, I enjoy cannabis and it helps me in so many ways. But I didn't want to buy it from the shop or random people because you never know what's in it these days.. So I took the time and grew my own all organic and nothing on it at all apart from rain.. And maybe some bird and bug crap of course but you get the idea.. Anyway, long story short, all the organic stuff also gave me horrible CHS to the point I went from 210lbs to 154lbs over a 9 month period. I would get horribly sick in the early mornings, then feel a little better later and smoke one, which then always made me feel very much better.. Then the next morning... Around we go again.. Took me an awful long time to figure this out unfortunately too. Really sad because the cannabis helps me in so many other ways. Much more than any prescribed doctor poisons have..
I’m going through this for a third time because I cannot learn my lesson. I’m currently laying In my bathroom floor crying my eyes out because I want to die instead of go through this again. I don’t know if I can do this again. I’m not strong enough and obviously can’t learn.
I thought it was a joke until I stopped after three years of heavy use. I started pouring sweat, shivering, going numb and ended up vomiting on myself. It was not fun-- sleeping was the only relief.
i used medical marijuana to quit doing heroin, meth, alcohol, EVERYTHING..... and 4 years ago i came down with CHS, quit for 3 and a half years and started smoking pot again about 5 months ago, the CHS came back a few days ago, i hate that the thing i love so much i can never smoke again.....but it'll be all good, God got me and he got all of yall too!
What kind of symptoms do you get when CHS starts coming back for you? I'm not sure if I have developed this or some other illness. I don't actually vomit but I feel dreadfully nauseous with abdominal pain and muscle pains. I have prayed for years to God to help me quit smoking weed, so maybe he is answering with this. The problem is I get withdrawal so either way there is pain
this time i didn't vomit at all but i felt dizzy and nauseous, also my kidneys were hurting really bad and my cum was straight up YELLOW, also just felt like my stomach was being ripped apart and constant diarrhea. havent smoked weed since this post and all the symptoms are gone pretty much, still hard to sleep and still no dreams yet but i know when my dreams come back that the CHS is pretty much completely run its course @@ReapingTheHarvest

Currently going through this and as I sit in my shower listening to this I really couldn’t help but break down and cry.
It gets better
Love you buddy im struggling too, 24 hours no pot
Same bro
@@TheAquariumDrizzleyou make it?
@@Bennydoesntknow Yes! 2 weeks clean today!
This comment section is honestly making me feel so supported, I just got diagnosed today after months of chronic nausea, and waking up at exactly 2 am to through up almost every other night, I would smoke more to make the nausea go away and to get some sleep considering my everyday responsibilities wouldn’t pause for my vomiting or stomach issues. This put me in a terrible cycle of feeling terrible, smoking, feel better for a couple hours then feeling terrible again. I absolutely love weed and have been smoking everyday for the past 3 years. Knowing quitting is the only thing that will make me feel better makes me nervous but I know I can’t live like this for any longer. Sending love to everyone going through this, it’s not easy at all.
I think I may have chs I'm not sure been smoking daily nearly 2 years and my life is so hectic I'm not even sure how to quit as its so ingrained in my routine shits tough
I'm going through this right now, puking my guts out and extreme fever and i feel so seen here
Im here 11 momths later to tell you i am experiencing it now and thank you for your comment. We have to be here for each other
CHS made quitting weed the easiest thing I’ve ever done.
EXACTLY
i think i have CHS rn lmao and im just scrolling through this shit
@@alexiaandreas4299bro same
Broo this hits so damn hard, literally just threw away all my weed after smoking for over 17 years because now I know why I’m getting wrecked
@@Big-yh8wz yeah its fucking terrible good luck
This is such a hidden issue, people struggling silently with this
Thankyou for speaking up
This is extremely eye opening and I hope this story sheds some light.
I’m 31 years old, started smoking chronically everyday since 16-17 years old.
Around 25-26 I started to feel extremely nauseas every single day, mornings, afternoon and night and I couldn’t touch any food in the morning even if you paid me.
Eventually it led to more severe anxiety, abdominal pains that led to me do every cat scan, MRA, or test a doctor could do under the sun.
I went to every specialist, I went to every homeopathic doctor. I did everything you could possibly do to figure out why I felt this way everyday.
All while smoking weed every single day, lots of it. And never linking the two because I loved it and used it as a crutch so much. I think I knew but I always shut the thought down or played stupid internally to it being weed because without weed I would be lost… stupid I know but that’s weed and chronic abuse.
Last night I smoked, ate and threw up and dry heaved and went to the hospital for 10000th time in a decade.
Again, you’re healthy blah blah blah nothing they can do. And I can’t blame them, CHS is rare af and doctors are idiots.
My gf sent me CHS today, I just threw away all my weed and I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to quit this badly in my life.
Today is the day, I quit weed.
You Got this! I’m currently on day 5, can’t wait to feel better and start to eat again!!

1 full week tomorrow for me, my story is so similair, I was genuinely at the point where I thought I had some sort of terminal illness so I just avoided doctors after a while and accepted my fait. That’s how addicted I was. I saw this video around 2 weeks ago and it has LITERALLY changed my life. I thank God for leading me towards this man’s incredibly helpful content. I wish you all the best brother may you live a healthy and happy weed free life.

Just got diagnosed today. CHS is no joke. I've loved weed and been a daily stoner for the better part of 10 years. The last 4ish months, I've been violently nauseaus everyday and my body started rejecting food. I am an eating disorder survivor and have pretty intense depression and anxiety. For a long time, weed was the ONLY thing that would help me eat and help my anxiety.
I am so relieved to have a diagnosis after all these months, but I am beyond sad about having to leave weed behind. Also extremely nervous about my mental health and sleeping habits.
Very glad to have found this video and seeing a community of us in the comments 🖤 We got this.
How are you now?
@Bigbawsz honestly better. It was really hard to ween off weed and the recovery period was rough, but I haven't been sick in a while and it feels good to eat again :)
@@shay_nic I’m glad to hear that. Have a good one :-)
@Bigbawsz you too :) and if you're strugglin with this, wish you all the best 🫶🏼
Completely understand the utter depression of realizing I don't have the crutch I once had. Weed was like a best friend turned worst enemy. You're not alone ❤
Wow, everyone’s story here really hits home. I think I have been struggling with CHS for years without knowing what my problem is. And to hear all of these people’s struggles with CHS and THC addiction…. I know what I need to do. NOTHING is worth feeling that horrible. Thank you Dr. Frank. I will rewatch this video many times throughout my journey.
My husband did the same thing. He did want to believe it was weed
Oh no you will definitely know there is something wrong. I lost 10 kg in a week. Could eat or drink anything anymore. I was vomitting everything out immediatly
My son is soooo sick! Been looking for help for over two years. He's so young. I hope you all beat this addiction.
I’m goin thru this to it sucks
I'm 22 years old and I have been sober for 2.5 years. I was diagnosed in 2019 after around 4 years of daily cannabis use. While I still advocate for the many health benefits cannabis can have, I am also a strong advocate for the dangers that prolonged weed abuse can cause. My kidneys were hardly functioning, I developed colitis, and I was told that if I did not stop using, I would die in less than 6 months. My dehydration was so bad that I had muscle spasms and would lose control of my hands and fingers. For around a year, my body was shutting down and I was contributing to it by using weed to relieve my symptoms. To this day, I still suffer from digestion and stomach issues. I never thought I would quit. I would have rather died than quit. I am clean and healthy with a great support system and friends and family to hold me accountable.
If you're struggling with CHS and cannabis dependence, you can get through this. Your experience is valid and I am here to help!
Jeez, reading this I thought I wrote this and forgot all about it. Totally the same with me over a year sober and feeling better than ever 💕
Damn bro that is crazy I relate so much I’m 21 n have had chs for a year or two crazy how I caught it so young makes no sense to me I love weed so much I hate I have this shit I was sober for 10 months and thought I could just smoke weed again but was wrong n been strugglin w stayin away from it fr need more support
Well said, bother. Mad props. You've got the wisdom of a 40 year old.
Is that why I would get crazy leg muscle cramps 😧
So even after quitting for a long time stomach issues will follow?
Chs is what made me quit weed. Didn't really have a choice
As someone who suffered with this thank you so much for sharing this. This shit almost killed me. I didn’t believe it but now I do 110%. I quit smoking for 2 years and not a problem and within a month after starting back up I almost died. I will never smoke again. If you ever go through this horror trust me, you will quit smoking.
How did you nearly die bro if you don’t mind
@@DOPE_SMOKE I’m a woman, I think you saw my son’s video 😂, but I was literally in the hospital for 12 days. It just came on suddenly and I mean suddenly like a lightening strike. The vomiting was so violent I cannot compare it to anything. I could literally feel my life force leaving me. The first 5 days straight I puked and screamed, that’s how violent the vomiting was. I started freezing and could only find some comfort in a scalding hot shower. I was given a cream that’s burns to help with the vomiting but I ended up having an allergic reaction and the shit felt like fire on my stomach. I couldn’t even sip water. I was so miserable I literally didn’t sleep a wink until the 12th night, and only slept for 10 mins. I couldn’t even control the movement of my eyes. I get emotional even thinking about it. I’ve been severely burned, had a pulmonary embolism, and suffer from severe migraines and they don’t compare. Not even childbirth. I’m crying as I’m typing this. I cannot express enough in words how horrible it was.
I've had this twice. I went to the hospital the first time. The emergency room knew what it was. So that good. Nothing they can do but rehydrate you and give nausea medicine. Good video!!
My life and overall health is more important to me than a hit of weed. Thanks to this man I didn’t end up on a downward spiral to my very own demise. I caught this syndrome on time before it killed me. I am a month free of THC and I’m still recovering and very weak. But I know not to ever touch it again. The knowledge from this man here saved my life. From the bottom of my heart , Thank You . 🙏 Every time I’m tempted I watch your videos.
What I hate the most is that now I don't have PTSD and OCD help. It was a miracle for my mental health. I'm fucked and so depressed. I just started using a few years ago and responsibly, and that's how quickly it was taken away.
Having to suffer with PTSD and OCD again is fucking awful. Cannabis got me off opiates. Now I can't use cannabis.
And apparently there's no recovery from this. I hate it so much. Absolute bullshit.
@@FoxtaleHi can you see a therapist? I am seeing a psychiatrist and going to counselling for ocd and ptsd. It is very helpful and I feel like I’m no longer alone
I went through the same thing!!!
I’m currently going thru it
Just went thru it thanks bro
Thank you so much for pointing out to others that it’s addiction. Most people smoking weed are addicted. It’s not a habit.
You saved my life I’m never doing weed or any drugs ever again.
Was a weed smoker for 20 years. It was a refuge for me and sleep aid. Developed CHS last year culminating in a visit to the ER. Despite the tortuous experience and hospital bills, I ended up smoking again after a few month....had another episode worse than the first a number of months later. Honestly, it's a blessing to have weed removed from me. I guess it took this sickness to get the point across that it was really wrecking my life, potential and relationships. It had become part of my identity. Make no mistake, weed is a drug that can have dangerous consequences. It's not just a plant!!! We are all living proof of that. I used to be an advocate for the legalization however, after some states made it legal, these growers mess with the composition of the plant to increase the THC. I believe that is why we are seeing such an increase in CHS cases.
In Jamaica there is absolutely no cases of CHS so I believe we are getting poisoned by chemicals
Like everything once corporations get involved they ruin it all
@@ExecuteOrder420 exactly!!!! grow your own I guess
yes! medical marijuana made me even have psychosis i believe. its stronger and then i wonder if anything else is making it more addictive.. cant prove that just a feeling.. im on day 5 quitting when i had pretty mild side effects i observed.
I’m posting this because of the profound effect CHS had on my life. I had a particularly sour case, and am still going through its effects. My symptoms began three weeks ago. I woke up constantly vomiting for up to four hours, but as the day progressed it would get better, until I reach a threshold of smoking at which my body completely shut down. I was unable to eat a single piece of food for 12 straight days. I ended up in the ER with almost both of my kidneys failing. I dropped from 180 to 158 lbs. Before this I was a perfectly healthy individual. I worked out 5-6 days a week, running 5k and 10ks, had a nearly perfect diet, and drank plenty of water. I don’t consume alcohol, tobacco, or any other drug. My only hope is to spread awareness of this horrific syndrome. I have a fear of sleeping due to how I would feel waking up, I have a fear of turning my head because of fear of nausea, I wake up in a full blown anxiety attack out of a genuine fear of my symptoms returning. I had both an upper and lower endoscopy to confirm I had beyond a perfectly healthy GI system and have been to multiple specialist to essentially receive a diagnosis by process of elimination. I’m sober and will never smoke again. The nausea I experienced was worse than any pain I had ever felt. I, as a grown man, broke down in front of my parents crying, begging for help because I had no idea what was wrong with me and no idea where the end was. Promethazine and Ondansetron did nothing to help me. All I can say is I wish everyone here the best of luck and the best of health
I broke down in front of my parents crying too. Just wishing they could help me and comfort me in this terrible agony. Lord knows how many prayers they have probably said for me. I have no excuses anymore, I know what’s wrong with me.
Kratom takes all the sickness away..use it for a week and you will have only the nightsweats
At the age of 74 yrs old I was diagnosed with 3rd stage kidney disease a few months past. For the past couple of weeks I have felt that my kidney function is decreasing. This morning I ran across this video which made sense to me. I smoke or take a tincture once a day in the evening to help with meditation and relaxation. I am discontinuing cannabis use as of today. Thanks for the info.
How do you feel now ? I’m going through this as well😭
@@keeliesterling2630 After about a month I was feeling pretty good, and about 2 months was mostly back to normal. Now I feel great, havent smoked since like march 2023.
For those who feel that hot showers help, I know that sometimes we have responsibilities that we cannot ignore even if we just threw up 10 minutes ago. So if you don’t have time to take a shower try putting on tiger balm or capsaicin cream on your stomach. Currently working wonders for me.
Where can you get it
When I heard this ..I looked back at all my showers and realized they are all warm to hot and I feel better afterwards... Damn 👀 👐
The chronic bathing and showering feels great but unfortunately dehydrates you more.
please be hella careful with creams, some creams if u get too hot it’ll react and feel like ur literally burning, happened to me in the hospital 😭
I was just diagnosed with CHS a couple days ago and the more I learn about it, the more excited I am to be fully sober and feel better again. This condition is no joke. I had 3 visits to the ER within 4 days. I’m now 2 days sober and can already see a difference with how I feel in the morning. I smoked everyday for about 5 months and developed this syndrome. The pain I am going through is incomparable to any other pain I’ve felt before. Looking back, my CHS symptoms early on were waking up in the morning with knots and some cramping in my stomach, but of course, weed helped with this. Little did I know it was the cause.
I am on day two now, it all started a yr ago w cyclical vomiting. I don't even know how many times I've been to the ER in the last year, even the last three months. I'm happy you felt differences straight away and I hope you're feeling MUCH MUCH better now. Cycle broken
U only smoked everyday for 5 months though? I just want to hear more ...
@@GorgeousByJulieFrom my experience I only smoked for 5 months before I started feeling symptoms :/
I was diagnosed yesterday. I was passing out and vomiting in the ER waiting room. I can still only keep water down. I'm so scared and angry at myself but also I just couldn't stop, maybe this is a blessing? I want to be free.
The hot shower thing - and the fact that i confessed my weed usage immediately, even though I live in an illegal country- was what helped them diagnose me. Right now I would live in the shower if i could. Thank you for the straight talk, and bite size chunks of information.
I’m currently going thru this
I was diagnosed with CHS two weeks ago. I'm 60 and a type 2 diabetic. Thought I was dying. The paramedics knew me by name. Been clean one full week and will NEVER go back. It's hard but I have good support.
Thank you so much for getting this out there. I've been a chronic smoker for years 24/7. I'm 13 days clean and ended up in the ER. BEEN SOOOO SICK! This gave me the resolve to get this crap once out of my life!!
Thank you for bringing this to light
sounds like ur just having withdrawals, not chs. Chs usually happens when ur still smoking, not after u have quit.
Turn to Jesus. Let him be your high. Everytime you feel the enemy attacking tell him to get behind you and ask God to give you everything you need. He is your source of strength...not weed.
@@crcb4 fake virgin birth story not even original
@@crcb4amen brother
Currently experiencing this syndrome . Smoked for 13 years straight and always tried to find higher thc percentages when I did smoke . The highest percentage of weed I smoked in my
Life was 40 percent and I rarely went below 30 percent. The fact that I did dab carts and edibles doesn’t help either . Currently my body wakes me up around 9 am everyday and I barely sleep at night . Around 7 pm is when I start to feel normal but I get an anxiety attack around 9 pm . I know this will pass and I’m currently on day 9 of being sober . To anyone reading this who is struggling just know this will pass, you will get through it I’m not through it yet but I will never lose my faith in God and I will never go back
how are you doing now?
Yeah isolated distillates that oversaturate your Endo cannabinoid system of Cours... and 40% let me guess you’re in Oklahoma ha ha ha... or they sprinkled some keef on it whatever man... you know the margin of error is like 20% anyways... that’s if the lazy lab rat cleaned and re-calibrated between every sample ha ha ha...
Chs will definitely make you seek out God. Hell is not being able to drink water without puking.
Did you ever had problems before you smoked 13 years ago? Sometimes the munchies could get the best of you. I used to down 3 doughnuts, a whole pizza, 2 litter of mountain dew and cheese every nite. I ate so much cheese i couldnt shit right. Then i found out i had a big hemorrhoid from straining from trying to poop.
@@mchankerhoff853I'm trusting in nothing but the blood of Jesus to pay for my sins to keep me out of hell. Just like accepting a plea bargain in court.
The best way to explain CHS is a “bad trip.” I find it common amongst those of us who have social anxiety or anxiety disorders.
My brother got CHS and had to quit. He was puking and staying in the shower all day everyday. And a Dr realized staying on the shower was common for CHS patients. And my brother quit and is fine now.
Please.. What caused him to shower so much? My brother does the same
@nisa3695 idk I guess he felt OK when he was in the shower? But it was the bud doing it to him. He smoked all day every day. And he just started puking one day. And he would feel nausea and only thing that helped was Taking a really hot showers. He ended up in the hospital and luckily there was a Dr there that had heard about my brother. And he knew alot about cannabinoid syndrome and that's what my brother had.
@@joshuat5140 I'm guessing the hot water causes the pores to open which allows water to come into the body. I've read some people aren't able to consume anything so with the body being dehydrated, it's the only form of consumption it can get.
@@joshuat5140how long did it take for the symptoms to go away??
This isn’t fear mongering. This shit is real
Living it
For someone suffering from it (just got diagnosed a few days ago) you have no idea how sharing your experience means the world to me. It truly makes me feel less alone in a world where everybody think that "weed cant do no wrong". From the bottom of my heart, thank you
im feeling this rn, i wake up feeling like throwing up, nausea, diaherra, and my stomach feels like its filled of air, whats your symptoms? I feel so bad for the past 4 days
@@Epic-pb1gqhow are you feeling, did you take a week break? Good luck friend
I was in denial that this was my issue for the past year. Thank you for sharing, and I'm glad I found your videos. It's only been 2 days for me and its awful but the videos and FB groups are making me feel a lot less alone
Hope you're still sober bro!
@@landonmurray3814 it’s been one month and 12 days💕 the universe has been testing me so hard but I’ve been resilient; I hope everything is good on your end🫶🏻thank you :) 💖
I quit when I was 44 because I just didn't like the feeling anymore. I was also a cigarette smoker, so I was caught in the nasty cycle of lowering my blood sugar with cannabis and then smoking a cigarette to raise it back up. So glad I quit both addictions!
Good for you for quitting!! You should be so proud of yourself!! Keep up the good work 👏 🙌
@@70sgirl42 I appreciate it. That was a roller coaster ride. I'm still in disbelief that I never got diabetes from all that.
I just figured out that for the past 6 weeks I was in early stages of this. It feels like someone is squeezing my balls all the time. abdominal cramping but no vomiting. I would take another kidney stone before I go through this again. I'm so glad I didn't get to the vomiting phase before I figured out what I had. doctors are clueless, missed 2 weeks or work. I'm grateful that I was able to self diagnose. thanks to people coming out and talking about it.
Like thousands of people, I had never heard of this until I became very ill with this severe condition. At first, I thought It was food poisoning, but then the throwing up kept coming for 3 days, although confused, did some research and realised what I was dealing with. I stopped all marijuana cold. Took me 6 days to recover and not 100% but the nausea is finally gone and feeling better. Please pass this along. For the record, i was using sativa, 2 to 4 grams a day for 18 months.
I'm sober now for 4 1/2 months after smoking for over 20 years from the time I woke up until I went to bed. I tried smoking half a one-hitter after quitting and it made me miserable. I know I'll never smoke again. I am now on blood pressure medication and was diagnosed with esophagitis and gastritis which I'm also on medication for. Things have gotten much better now.
Big props on your recovery !!
Does chs lead to other illnesses?
@@eIioperlman I believe it can. And it can mask existing ones and make them worse.
Yeah thats too much weed. I smoke only at night around 8 pm everynite and then stop at 12. saved me tons of money and my lungs.
I dealt with this for 2 1/2 years, I counted 49 times at the ER over that period of time. I was a habitual marijuana user and refused to believe that's what was making me sick. It started out almost unnoticeable, maybe once a month or so. But after the 1st year, I was sick 3 or 4 times a week, and it wouldn't stop until I went to the ER for meds. I was told about CHS nearly every time, but I used cannabis as a way to cope with every day for many years, so it was very hard to believe and accept that it was making me sick. The ER gave me nausea meds everytime, they'd give me the really strong meds that were mostly antipsychotics. I started developing tardive dyskinesia everytime they'd give me those meds. Scariest shit ever. Im blessed and so lucky I stopped the whole thing before it was permanent. I last went to the ER 4/18/22 and quit cannabis the next day. I haven't been sick since. I was 110 pounds, and now I'm 150. I had always been afraid to quit, but like others said, not getting sick every morning was a huge plus. If anyone here is in denial like I was for nearly three years, I know it's hard. I went from hitting my vape or dab every half hour to being sober from it for over a year, and I'm so much happier. Life is amazing and while I do miss cannabis, it's SO not worth it!
I'm calling BS. No hospital would give you antipsychotics for nausea.
@@riotpb10dude. You are 100% wrong. Do your research, mouth.
@@riotpb10haloperidol
hi! im a second year med student. halperidol is often useful for CHS, cannabinoid 1 receptors suggest a possible mechanism for its beneficial effects in managing nausea and vomiting! hope this helps x
@riotpb10 Yikes lol. Instead of sounding like an ignoramus on the internet, all it takes is a quick Google search "antipsychotics for nausea and vomiting" lmao, but 👍
Especially before you call "BS" on a complete strangers experience.
Recently diagnosed with CHS after 6 hospitalizations in the past 8 months. 10 days clean.
NOTHING could make me go back to cannabis and go through that torture.
How are you feeling on day 10?? I’m on day 6 and I literally almost had an anxiety attack that’s why I’m here, I feel like I’ve been getting better slowly but every morning it just all comes back
@@marquisedavis6427 Today is day 14. I'm really queasy & having sweats. Hopefully it will improve.
@@Snakelady- are you anxious or nauseous or anything?
@@marquisedavis6427 No anxiety but I am nauseous.
in Canada people here have no doctors and there are many waiting lists. as a young adult finding a new doctor. going through this has been a challenge.
You will try
You will fail
You will Learn again..
and ultimately you will quit with enough lessons from trying to quit.
eventually it gets to the point where you realize how many times you've quit. and you realize you need to live without it even in moments where you might want to try it cause "what could hurt"
this. this exact thing will hurt you again. over and over again. for all of eternity.
if you stop. you didnt stop once. you have tried to stop multiple times. and then you took the effort to actually follow through
to learn the mistakes you have made in quitting the first couple times.
in order to make a real impact on your mind to realize how easy it can be if you make the correct decisions going forward.
Goodluck. you got this if you know what im talking about.
Day 13 sober the hardest part is the insomnia plus nausea it’s the worst in the morning. Anyone else feel this way?
Update day 24 of no weed nor vaping, my insomnia i would say it went away i can sleep a full night without waking up in the middle of night. Morning nausea is still random i noticed now i really can’t drink any coffee nor energy drinks without feeling like shit. Still have headaches here and there but still going strong.
This is happening to me now, I have smoked weed for 50 years and the last two years I began getting sick, I seen a report on it this morning on good morning America, now I know what the problem is, I need to quit! I can't quit! I've been high for 50 years, I don't know what to do, this is scary
hey brian, what did you do? are you sober and feeling good now? or are u still smoking?
you got this buddy ! 🩵
I’m still not sure if this is my problem because I’ve only smoked for 4 months and all the people I hear that had it has been smoking a very long time and a lot of it, I think smoking too much of it could also do the same thing as chs
No doctor will ever diagnose me with this but I deep down know this is the root of my issues. I went from smoking to vaping to edibles because my upper respiratory issues got so bad from this. I’ve been having gnarly symptoms for the past 4-5 years. Constantly hacking, clearing my throat, dehydration, having chest pain in the middle and on my left side, and having acid reflux like symptoms. I haven’t vomited chronically like others from this condition but I believe it can affect everyone differently. It’s so bad you feel sick everyday and it really affects the quality of your life. I’ve seen so many doctors and have had a number of tests done on me. It got to the point where I had a Nissen Fundoplication surgery. It’s the gold standard surgery for people with Acid reflux. The surgery did absolutely nothing for me and now I can’t throw up. I believe this has only made things worse for me not being able to release the toxins. I never wanted to believe it was cannabis but it’s the harsh reality. I’m currently two weeks weed free and I’m absolutely committed this time around. I believe my body will heal from this but it’s going to take some time. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to use THC again but maybe things will change after my body recovers. If anyone else has had symptoms like this from CHS share your thoughts and know you’re not alone!
These are literally normal things for a stoner. Extra flem, dry mouth, acid reflux. Slight nausea. If you love weed it's just part of it. Drink cold water during a smoke sesh and no munches before bed helps a lot. Eating a lot before bed causes gurd. Aka bubble gut/sour stomach and acid reflux
@@randywoodward6367 My symptoms are not normal for people that smoke weed. I don’t even smoke I would only take edibles because of my condition. Coughing up blood is not normal whatsoever. It’s fine if you don’t want to believe CHS is real no one does till they have it.
@@randywoodward6367You have no idea what you’re talking about. I know what normal stoner symptoms are and I’ve experienced those😂First off I was only doing edibles and I promise you this condition is real. If it was something as simple as mild nausea and acid reflux I wouldn’t be complaining. It literally turns your life upside down. It gets to the point where you are sick everyday. Even days after not doing THC, it takes months to fully recover. Every weed smoker is in denial of it till they go through it, because they don’t want to believe it’s the weed. Trust me I’ve been there.
This is like my 8th time getting chs . Longest episode I quit smoking 2 weeks ago. I been waking up 4am on the dot everyday for two weeks . I wake up perfectly fine then anxiety hits an every chs symptom and getting sleep is impossible
wow same… just wokeup at 4am and threwup
Same thing here
Okay but why do you keep going back? When you have it, you will be triggered every time. you need to stop…
Lmao the celebration relapse is too true
I smoked weed for years and never had an issue, its the concentrates that are contributing to this issue. Too much of a good thing.
Thanks for these videos I was so lost of hope and it’s only been a week for me. Smoking again isn’t even on my mind the crazy thing is I was planning on stopping smoking because I’m going to school for nursing. I was smoking heavy these last few weeks preparing to stop and then this happened to me. I thought it was from drinking too much but nope this was the issue. So far I’m a week sober from both and I just want my body back. I love eating spicy foods and creole food and this condition is stopping me from eating my favorites. This was definitely a eye opener! I love my life and my son way to much to go out like this! When I get the urge to smoke I go walk my dog or shower instead.
Thank you for this video.. I'm 5 days of quiting and its not easy.going to doctor tomorrow to make sure i didn't damage My body.all i can say is even smoking weed even if its off and on it will catch up with us. I will in life never go back. There is help out there if we need it .all i can say is quit and never look back at it
I am also 5 days in of quitting. I have been feeling sick for years and thought smoking was helping me instead it may have caused more damage. We got this ken!
I got an acute kidney failure last year because of this and I started smoking again cause i didn’t wanna believe in it yknow but you and I gotta stop smoking weed right now
this is not a joke, i’m 19 and smoked for 4 years straight. STOP WHILE YOU CAN!!!! The high is NOT worth it, im 7 days clean and am sick as a dog. slowly getting better, but im still puking in the morning. the rest of the day im just light headed and nauseous. I’m constantly in the bath (right now) and i wish i could live in here because it is the only time i feel ok.
I have had CHS diagnosis after smoking weed every day for the past 25 years, mainly sativa strains (haze, amnesia, etc).
I was never motivated to quit smoking weed until I had the diagnosis.
Now I am clean for 14 days and I am convinced it is the only way forward FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
also, the synthetic variant of THC, being HHC gives the same syndrome. To my experience even worse.
Good luck for all the people being diagnosed with CHS.
Find pro help, go to self-help groups, and change your life for good.
It is the only way forward.
❤
28 days and still standing strong. Feeling better then ever without THC. 🙌🏼🤩💪🏼
Heavy smoker since 12 currently 20 and after my 5 th er visit because of heavy vomiting dehydration ect I am 2 days clean and hoping it will get better I believe it's all these chemicals and pesticides that people now use that's fucking with out brains DNA everything but look what can you do these criminals won't stop because a few of us died from it like herding and cocaine it's all about money to them but we're in it together maybe some day 🙏😊🤕

@@mixmastermorris good for you hope i get the same energy to quit. My longest was 5 months. Problem is im so heavy invested. Bought very expensive equipment like grow control computer, osmosis, multiple tents and lights and even a rosin press. I even started a career out of it showing off my results on social media and being part of the cannabis culture on tournaments for extracts and homegrown.
First time dealing with this. This is such hell I’d never wish it on another person. I want to be normal again and feel myself
How u feeling now?
thank you for this information , nobody wants to talk about the possible dangers of marijuana, its really real
CHS is an absolute nightmare. Didn’t know what caused it at first but as soon as the doc diagnosed it, it was life-changing!
What kind doctor did go ?
Just quit today I have chs it's horriblr
I have never been able to do anything I want, I'm nearly 30 and I can't think of a single thing in my life that I choose/wanted including a son(wouldn't give him up but not my choice) Weed is the only thing I choose and it's real emotional having to give up the one thing In my life I choose. Any thoughts, ideas or help anyone has would be great!
I’m 16 and have been smoking rlly bad fake stuff from this cart for about 2-3 months every day. I quit about 50hrs ago and I feel HORRIBLE. I’m matching all the beginning symptoms with CHS.
I was diagnosed back in 2004... And like many others I did not believe it! Especially since cannabis used to help with nausea. I've gone through multiple episodes, the last one about 6 years ago. Every time I've experienced CHS I've cursed cannabis because of the hellish symptoms you experience while 'sick' with it. Well, now 6 years later of using and being CHS free I've started experience the beginning signs of CHS about to take place full force. In the past I would still smoke to try and cover up the nausea even though it made it worst! So... I'm stopping the usage before it gets full blown CHS! I started having flashbacks of the hell I went through, ER visits, extreme weight loss, muscle weakness, etc. So I'm trying my best to prevent it this time. Please believe people that cannabanoid hyperemesis is very REAL.
Peace to you all 🙏🏼
How did it go brother? Where you able to quit?
I hope all that need, find the recovery and peace they require
It’s the only thing I have tho, why does everything that makes me feel okay living get taken away from me
That’s how I’m currently feeling right now, lost my job my car and was told i can’t smoke weed anymore because what i thought was gastritis is actually Chs 😮💨 i feel your pain
I am 20 years old. I have been smoking frequently almost every day for the past 3 years coping with moving away from my abusive family and living alone. the thought of smoking weed is the only thing to get me out of bed most days, no antidepressants ive tried helped the sadness, it was one of the only things there for me.
I can feel my skin tingling and numbing, i am severely b12 deficient, ive been belching and throwing up bile ocasionaly on and off for about 2 years now.
Ive been in prodromal for a long time and if i dont kill my weed addiction, weed will kill me soon. Its just better to learn how to live on without it, even though it feels like it may be uprooting your whole life and identity
I know someone with this, and she refuses to believe it’s what it is. She’s lost alot of weight. She keeps going to doctors and emergency rooms but they can’t find anything wrong. One ER told her she has CHS because they found weed in her bloodwork (she’s a heavy user) and she just refuses to believe it. I wake up every morning to the sound of her heaving and retching. I feel bad for her😢
I am only 22 but I was diagnosed with CHS when I was 21, for the last 2 years I have been to the emergency room about it like 30 times… I do not wish this syndrome on my worst enemy, hard is an understatement😖 can’t drink water, can’t eat, a constant pain, belching, no energy, dehydration, and lightheadedness, it helps to know that I am not the only one going through this😖
I almost relapsed today. I’m so happy I turned around as the blunt came to me and got in my car and drove home. I am 5 days sober Tonifht. And one of the hardest things I think I’ve done in my life I’m 24 but we can do this. I’m tired of being a slave to the weed and feeling miserable every morning. I want my life back!
🙏 glad to have you here
@@AddictionMindset thank u sir. I’m still having no appetite but I’m doing it and that’s all that matters to me! I’m hoping tonight I get to dream dream dream
@@AddictionMindsetI have had a hard past 9 months of relapse. But today we are officially again on day 2 and once I’m sober we are joining the us army
I know someone who has been smoking weed for over 40 years. Approximately 10 years ago he started with a vomiting episode that lasted 8 days. It would come on quickly and leave just as quickly after the 8 days was up. He has horrible abdominal pain, vomiting all day and night, cannot eat or drink anything. Now I notice that it is cyclical, meaning it usually comes in the spring March/April and again in August. Not sure why this is or if maybe he is just smoking more at these times. I have been searching and searching trying to find out answers to his sickness. He had an endoscopy and colonoscopy and everything was fine. Nobody had any answers. When I suggested it could be the weed, he didn’t want to hear that. Now I found this and wholeheartedly agree it is definitely the weed causing this. I pray he quits for his healths sake before it is too late. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
THIS is the video that did it for me.
My partner is suffering, it’s so hard watching your loved one in so much pain, been in and out of ER with them. I’ve been trying to quit with him
I went through this and still am I went to the doctor with weeks and they just told me they didn’t know what was wrong I quit smoking and it stopped hurting for the past month I’ve just been dealing with horrible stomach pain for the first 3 hours of my day, everyday I’m finally trying to cut it out completely.
I’ve been smoking since 17 I’m now 33 I have had numerous operations and procedures because of chs I had my appendix out first and still the problem persisted! I have been in and out of hospital over 50 times in the 15 years of my smoking life , I new I had this syndrome but I always said it was something else like stress etc , the doctors always sent me home because they new of my heavy cannabis use I was smoking high quality cannabis with high thc levels! Yeah I just had a little baby boy and enough is enough I now tell my self that my health and not getting high is a priority , I think I had a relly bad case of chs! I woke up 4 weeks ago and didn’t smoke and I will persist with this as I want to be a healthier person! I struggled for the first week and I’m still haveing bad dreams and sweats at night but I feel so much better ! Health is wealth
I have it at 17 rn..
@@kayfer3638how long did you smoke before you got it? I’m scared
@@NoNo-iq1zzhe is lying bro he prolly just started smoking and is not for everybody ,I know you are just a kid buh trust me you will be fine
I’ve not been diagnosed but man I owe it to myself and my family to just stop, it’s doing more damage than fixes..
i started smoking at the age of 14 and by the age of 16 i was diagnosed with chs. i am 22 now and this has been an ongoing issue in my life. reading all these comments about how people were able to quit so easily makes me ashamed and even envious that it hasn’t been that easy for me. as much as i’ve gone through this (probably about 20 times at this point) It never gets easier but i’ve reached the point in my life where all i want is to stop this cycle before i do some serious irreversible damage to my body. chs and my addiction to weed has cost me my sanity, relationships, jobs and experiences, this thing is no joke! as i sit here in the hot shower typing this, bawling my eyes out i pray that this is the last time I ever have to look up a video about this or feel the way that i do in this moment. sending love and prayers to anyone going through this.
My fiancé has been struggling for 4 years, doctors in Alberta kepts telling us it was all in her head. One day she was constanly nauseous & vomiting, called and ambulance and the EMT knew immediately it was CHS. God bless that man! That was 3 weeks ago and she's doing much better!
My mom has this and been struggling with it for 2+ years. She’s also in Alberta. A dr finally found out it CHS in this past December. She is still using. She is in the hospital now for another “attack” from food. It’s not the food. She came to visit us in the states for 2+ months and didn’t smoke anything here and had zero attacks and ate what she wanted. She’s been in at least 10+ ambulance rides. Admitted to the hospital over and over. She’s OD’d twice taking something from the streets to cope with the pain from CHS. She’s lost so much weight. She might die in this.😔💔😭
@astairewsmith yeah she should be carefully people are deffonatly dying from chs.
I finally admitted I have this and quit . Quite freeing
I have a pretty bad weed addiction i just do not have the mindset to quit
At least you admit it. That's the first step. You can quit if you want to friend. Don't let your physical well being suffer for no reason. Your life is worth living. You have purpose. Seek it in the light and leave the darkness behind you.
Honestly i really believe my issue is constipation. Straight up. Ive gone through this for 20 plus years, come to find out i dont poop enough... SELF DIAGNOSIS
I have thrown out all my weed stuff and bought it all over again many times until i finally realized
I need to finally realise I quit and always return and when I return and set myself even further in life … today is my last day
@jordanmarazzi3548 you got this bro. Im day 3 no thc and it's slowly getting better
thank you. i think you saved my life
CHS was the worst thing I ever been through, i was in the hospital 10 times in 1 month needing liquids … Idk how someone would even wanna go back to smoking after having it
Sober for 18 months
I never knew anyone else went through this back in the day!! Great information.📒📚🍎
Started to smoke weed, around 2017 when i was 28. Currently going through CHS. I'm quitting for good.
I ate an edible and an hour later my hands got extremely cold my stomach went numb and cold I was extremely dizzy and it felt like I would faint it almost felt like my soul was leaving my body. I went straight to the ER clenching my stomach of pain and all blood work, EKG test and CT scan came back normal. But I knew deep inside there was something wrong. I was sent home with a fat bill and no answers. I now know CHS is what I had. I had very little to no vomiting in my case mainly dehydration and a mean stomach ache and body ache. Best thing to do is stop any weed intake! I’m on my second day! Pray for me!
Sending positive vibes and prayers. You can do this
Man I’ve been getting tests done over and over trying to find out what’s wrong with me but I think it’s this. I have thrown up so much my stomach started bleeding. I don’t know if I have the strength to quit though… I never realized HOW addictive weed is…
I think this might be what’s wrong with me but I’m not sure because I heard it happens to people that have been smoking for years at least 1 year and I’ve only been smoking for 4 months I’m not sure if I have this or if it just been smoking too much recently
I think I have this. I’m in the middle of quitting right now because of it. The horrible feeling in my stomach constantly is making it a lot easier. I came here to see if there was anything else I can do to soothe this. I’ve been vomiting nonstop for well over two weeks now. I just want it to stop. I’ve been hospitalized a year ago and I think it was because of this. I was in a feeding tube and almost died. Wish me luck. I honestly, honestly really hope that I have this so I can just stop smoking and be done with it. The doctors didn’t give me enough information on it the first time I was admitted. I wish they had. Maybe I would have listened better. If you suspect you have this, it never hurts to try stopping for a while. I’m only 18 years old, and have only been smoking for 2 years. This is why they didn’t take it seriously enough I think. I don’t think it’s very common at all in people who have been smoking for this little amount of time chronically at such a young age.
I know hundreds of stoners and I don't anyone who got CHS. It must be pretty rare. I have smoked weed for over 50 years now, over an ounce a week of good green bud for many years. I cut back because my tolerance was nuts. Now I smoke 7-10 grams a week and get higher than when I was smoking an ounce. I still love it and don't notice any negative effects.
You need to know thousands of stoners. It's real but rare.
If you do have chs do not ever smoke weed again I just relapsed smoked 1 day and the next day it came right back and it hurts so much please just take my word for it it's not worth the smoke .....
Thank you for making this video. And thank you to everyone sharing their stories here in the comments. I was diagnosed with CHS a few months ago, it was absolute hell. I thought I would never smoke again but as we all know, addiction is insidious. It's so hard :(... I have been mostly sober but do smoke once a week or so and haven't felt any negative side effects but I know i should quit permanently.. for those of you who had reoccurring episodes - had you smoked chronically again or just occassionally?
As addiction works, I started off small & ofc it progressed to daily usage again, back to the wake & bake, yada yada & it’s bad again, it’s been about a 1 year of chronic use after 6 months sober & I feel just as badly as I did before. It’s definitely a wake up call considering these symptoms just resurfaced 4 or so days ago - I absolutely recommend quitting all the way unless you can truly limit yourself.
I was bed ridden and lived off bone broth for two weeks thought I was going to die stopped for a year started again and I feel the symptoms creeping up
I truly believe I'm experiencing chs right now. I recently just quit. For the past couple of days I have been having chest pains and stomach pains also nausea.
Been smoking from the past 15 years. The doctors could not figure it out. They removed my gallbladder but my episodes didn’t stop. Quitting seems like the only option as nothing can fix it. Doctors would just prescribe you antacids but that still won’t solve the problem. Hot water showers worked wonders for me. The doctors are unaware of this condition and won’t be able to treat it.
I don't know if I have CHS but I'm sick as a dog from wake up to almost night. Now I can't seem to ever sleep enough I'll sleep all day and still be so tired and nauseous. Weeks/months of being sick everyday. I poop 15 times a day it seems. Always tired always nauseated... Gnna give quitting a try. Been smoking all day since I was 13 I'm 37. Hard to believe weed could be doing this but I have to try. Pray for me
I had chs, and I did not know I had it. I smoked weed for 30 years every day. My chs came about 3 years ago. The first thing that happened was I was smoking a spliff, and halfway through smoking the spliff, I had very bad nausea, stomach pains and stomach cramps and I then vomited, i didn't understand why i vomited so I continued to smoke. 3 months before this happened. My marriage broke down, and I was missing my children so much I could not cope, so I was already in a bad state of depression and not sleeping or eating much. I continue to smoke after this first bout of vomiting. After this first bout of vomiting, i could not eat food, and my insomnia kicked in very badly. Maybe I'm just eating two spoons of my dinner per day, and maybe 2 to 3 hours of sleep a night. I continue to smoke weed. I worked through this whole period doing manual labour, and somehow, my body was still functioning, and I felt strong even with lack of sleep and hardly eating food. I was functioning on Coca-Cola, Lucozade, and spliffs. Basically, I was ill for 6 months and continued to smoke without knowing the reason for my sickness. 6 months later, I hit a brick wall, and my body started to shut down. I went from 17 and a half stone down to 12 stone in 6 months. I started getting stomach cramps, stomach pain, vomiting from time to time, gastro problems, hypnic jerks when trying to sleep, and tinnitus in the ears. once I did fall to sleep, then I woke up with tremors. Muscle spasms. Muscle stiffness. Muscle pain. Bone pain. Muscle spasms in my back . Found it hard to walk. Numbness down my legs. Vomiting, nausea.Waking up with numbness in my arms and hands. Anxiety, muscle spasms in my throat, throat tightening every time I lie down to try to sleep. Constipation, Haemorrhoids. I could not urinate properly. The muscle spasms in my throat when I tried to lie down were causing my throat to close. All this time, i was going to the doctor's and getting nothing back from the doctors with regards to why I was getting all these symptoms. The doctor was offering me muscle relaxant tablets, but I could not take them because they made a lot of my symptoms worse. the doctor was telling me to sleep sitting up due to my throat closing when lying down. They sent me for every check-up you could imagine and found nothing about the causes of my sickness. They did find I had developed a hiatus hernia. As more time went past, the muscle spasms in my throat got so bad that I could not smoke because my throat started to close when standing or sitting. This obviously stopped me from smoking. My anxiety and depression were so bad from missing my kids and all the symptoms from the chs, and I was still not diagnosed. I felt like I was dying. My nervous system was in a very bad way. I was researching everywhere and came across CHS. I then took this to the doctor, and they diagnosed me with CHS. I continue to work through this whole period. Looking back, I do not know how I got through. But I think the continuous moving of the body was helping me somehow. I started to eat a little better, and slowly, slowly, I started to put my weight back on. After 1 year of me sleeping sitting up, I was finally able to lie down without my throat going into spasms so I could lay down. I started to sleep a little better slowly slowly. It's been 2 and a 1/2 years since stopping smoking. After 1 year, I was still in a very bad way, with many symptoms still remaining. After about a year and a half, they found a 7 mm polyp, which they cut out of my stomach. Through this whole period of me being sick with chs, i had found that having hot baths with Epsom salts was helping me a great deal. Putting warm olive oil all over my muscles was also helping. Drinking bone broth also helped a lot. After 2 years, my haemorrhoids started to calm down. I was able to go to the toilet better. Both urinating and pooing. It's been 2 and 1/2 years, and I still have tinnitus in the ears and spasms in my back and back pain, but it's nothing like the spasms and back pain I had before. I'm still suffering a little bit with insomnia. And when I wake from sleep, my arms and hands still go numb and numbness down the outside of my right leg, mainly my knee and thigh. The biggest help I have found in my healing period was through cranial therapy. When I start to feel quite good, sometimes I would try to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes. Drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes seems to bring back some symptoms. I tried to drink sometimes to test my body. But then I realised I could not drink. Same with smoking cigarettes. Some symptoms start to come back. I have come to the realisation that I can not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes. And obviously cannot smoke cannabis for the rest of my life. Even standing next to someone who is smoking a spliff affects me. I was always a very fit and strong individual and felt invincible. But this whole experience has humbled me. Please look after yourself and your health mentally and physically. The one good thing I can see about CHS is that if you stop smoking weed and live a healthy life, it can go away. As I said, I still have some symptoms. But I feel like if I look after myself hopefully I pray to God that all my symptoms will eventually go away. it is possible that there is damage done that can not be repaired from but I am very thankful and go forward with a positive mindframe. It is very good to see that there is information out there for people to find. It did not occur to me to go on TH-cam and type in chs back then. But even the videos on TH-cam here do not talk about half my symptoms. I obviously took chs to the Brim. And maybe I'm very lucky. But it is very good to see there is information out there, and people are learning more and more every day about CHS. If you feel you have CHS the beginner of CHS or you feel you have had it for a while, please stop smoking now. Go and seek help. As I said, the best thing that I found helped me was cranial therapy and God. God bless you all out there, peace
Trust me..
The pain of chs is comparable to childbirth.
But I've been rushed to the emergency Room numerous times over the last 6 or 7 years and the only thing would work was a huge shot of delaudid(sp?)
Self diagnostic myself Herr but this really seems to what I've been dealing with for years.I really don't want to give up one of the few things I enjoy but it looks like I must.😢
During Covid I was under extreme stress. The entire world was. At that point in my life I was only an occasional recreational smoker. Maybe twice a week. During lockdown I started smoking every single night. Just once. But it was every single night because I figured what the hell are the rules anymore.
Fear and uncertainty led to this. Three years later this habit has remained. I am experiencing these symptoms especially under duress or traumatic stress. I have quite a lot on my plate right now, so I'm going to begin a period of abstinence. When I do experience relief, I may go back to very occasional daytime partaking but the chronic nighttime use is over. This video has been a godsend. Good luck to everybody out there who's trying to manage this.
Currently dealing with CHS 💔
I'm also going through CHS quite severely at the moment. A real disappointment that took me a long long time to figure out... As you said, I enjoy cannabis and it helps me in so many ways. But I didn't want to buy it from the shop or random people because you never know what's in it these days.. So I took the time and grew my own all organic and nothing on it at all apart from rain.. And maybe some bird and bug crap of course but you get the idea..
Anyway, long story short, all the organic stuff also gave me horrible CHS to the point I went from 210lbs to 154lbs over a 9 month period. I would get horribly sick in the early mornings, then feel a little better later and smoke one, which then always made me feel very much better.. Then the next morning... Around we go again.. Took me an awful long time to figure this out unfortunately too. Really sad because the cannabis helps me in so many other ways. Much more than any prescribed doctor poisons have..
I’m going through this for a third time because I cannot learn my lesson. I’m currently laying In my bathroom floor crying my eyes out because I want to die instead of go through this again. I don’t know if I can do this again. I’m not strong enough and obviously can’t learn.
I’m a heavy smoker for 3-4 years now…this scares me. I couldn’t even imagine giving up weed it’s such a huge part of my life
I smoked almost every day for 10 years. I just had my third ER visit for CHS. It’s unbelievably, excruciatingly painful. Please be careful.
I had it… but I keep going back to smoke… I’m afraid I’ll get it again…
I thought it was a joke until I stopped after three years of heavy use. I started pouring sweat, shivering, going numb and ended up vomiting on myself. It was not fun-- sleeping was the only relief.
I think a big part of this is that we're not smoking your grandpas weed... the cannabis today is bred to be really strong
i used medical marijuana to quit doing heroin, meth, alcohol, EVERYTHING..... and 4 years ago i came down with CHS, quit for 3 and a half years and started smoking pot again about 5 months ago, the CHS came back a few days ago, i hate that the thing i love so much i can never smoke again.....but it'll be all good, God got me and he got all of yall too!
What kind of symptoms do you get when CHS starts coming back for you? I'm not sure if I have developed this or some other illness. I don't actually vomit but I feel dreadfully nauseous with abdominal pain and muscle pains. I have prayed for years to God to help me quit smoking weed, so maybe he is answering with this. The problem is I get withdrawal so either way there is pain
this time i didn't vomit at all but i felt dizzy and nauseous, also my kidneys were hurting really bad and my cum was straight up YELLOW, also just felt like my stomach was being ripped apart and constant diarrhea. havent smoked weed since this post and all the symptoms are gone pretty much, still hard to sleep and still no dreams yet but i know when my dreams come back that the CHS is pretty much completely run its course
