Verbraucher, die HHC-haltige Cannabisprodukte kaufen, könnten weniger bekommen, als sie erhofft hatten

Immer mehr Bundesstaaten legalisieren den Verkauf von Marihuana und es entsteht ein breites Sortiment an Produkten, die psychoaktive Inhaltsstoffe von Marihuana, wie THC, enthalten. Diese Produkte enthalten verschiedene Cannabinoide, die entweder aus THC oder der Pflanze selbst gewonnen werden können.

¿Es verdad que el cannabis puede ayudarme a dormir mejor?

Son muchos los usuarios de cannabis que eligen consumir por la noche, cuando las tareas del día han terminado y pueden relajarse en el sofá. Sin embargo, mientras muchas personas creen que les ayuda a dormir, existen estudios científicos que nos previenen del uso de la marihuana para este fin. En este artículo desvelamos los secretos de esta tortuosa relación entre el sueño y la planta de nuestros sueños.

Existe una percepción general entre los consumidores de cannabis de que esta planta les ayuda a dormir. Esto puede deberse a los efectos que genera el thc, el cannabinoide psicoactivo por excelencia, pues tiene propiedades sedantes que inducen la relajación, por lo que es percibido como una buena ayuda para el sueño.

So while I don't love the idea of sharing my medical information like this, especially because the reason for my illness was pure stupidity on my part, I think what happened to me is so important for people to know, especially since cannabis(weed/pot/grass/marijuana etc) will almost certainly be legalized in the United States nationwide for recreational use in the next few years.

Now, let me preface this by saying that I 100% support legalization. Don't get it twisted. But there's a disease associated with cannabis use that I think is important to know about.

What happened to me was Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome. For people who don't want to click the link, essentially what happened is that my brain stopped processing THC(one of the active ingredients in cannabis which starts out as THCA but turns into THC when burned) in the same way that it normally does. They still don't completely understand why yet, though hopefully more research will be done to explain what exactly is happening in the brain and body. The symptoms are cyclical vomiting and intense abdominal pain. Because the disease isn't well known, people who get it usually end up consuming more and more because paradoxically cannabis treats what it causes. This can lead to a complete inability to even keep water down, which can result in kidney failure, killing the person who has it. This is almost what happened to me.

About six years ago I developed the disease. Like most people, I had no idea what was wrong so I kept smoking more and more. I lost all of my body fat, my muscles got eaten away to the point where I couldn't walk or even feed myself. I eventually had to go to the hospital for a kidney infection. I went to five doctors before I got to one who knew about CHS and was able to diagnose me. So I stopped smoking cannabis, and recovered eventually. And I would be remiss to not acknowledge that the only reason I survived was because my girlfriend and her husband(I'm poly) insisted that I move in with them so they could take care of me. They hand fed me, held me up in the shower, took me to doctors, and even allowed me to bring my cat to their house despite the fact that husband was allergic. I owe them my life.

For over a year, I couldn't even be in the same room as someone smoking cannabis. But slowly it got to the point where I could. And because cannabis is addictive(yes, it is addictive, don't listen to anyone who tries to tell you otherwise), I started smoking periodically. But I couldn't do it too often or my symptoms came back. CHS is a lifelong condition, as far as we're currently aware.

A few weeks back my roommate went out of town and asked me to care for their cat, saying I could have as much of their weed as I wanted. Because I was addicted and also stupid I smoked for a week straight. Then they came back and I stopped. I knew I'd probably pay for it, but I had no idea how much.

About a week and a half ago, I woke up around 2 AM needing to use the restroom. But I was massively dizzy and couldn't walk straight, and kept crashing into walls on my way there. I managed to go and make it back to my bed, and spent a couple of hours slowly getting dizzier and dizzier and more and more panicked. I finally decided that I couldn't handle it alone, so I reluctantly woke up my roommate. They sat with me on the couch while I got worse and worse(and berated me for not waking them up sooner, god I love my roommate).

After about an hour we realized we had no choice but to go to the hospital. We were planning on taking their car, but I eventually crumpled to the ground and was only barely responsive, so they called an ambulance. They had to strap me to a chair to carry me down two flights of stairs(we live on the third floor).

Once I got to the hospital, the doctors ran every test imaginable and they couldn't find anything wrong with me, likely because they've yet to develop tests for CHS. Since we couldn't find anything wrong with me, we had to assume that it was my CHS recurring. But it was worse this time.

The last time I had CHS, I never collapsed and became non responsive. I just lost more and more weight and had abdominal pain so severe that I could barely bring myself to breathe. So I had no way of anticipating what would happen. None of the research done on it so far indicates that this could be a result.

The result wasn't just nausea. I couldn't walk. Which made no sense. My leg muscles were fine. I didn't have any physical injuries. But I couldn't walk. So I was sent to a physical rehab facility. After a few days I finally had a physical therapist who is familiar with CHS and also has extensive knowledge of how the brain works. She said that what probably happened was that cannabis scrambled the neurons in my brain which damaged my ability to process external information in the way needed to be able to balance enough to walk. There's no guarantee that that's exactly what happened, but it makes the most sense to me. So they needed to work with me while my brain recovered. Which it did. I'm fine now. Though I still need anti nausea meds, but that probably won't be for much longer; my stomach appears to be recovering.

That's what happened to me. I don't like sharing how stupid I was, but I think it's important that people know that this is a potential side effect of cannabis use. Please either reblog this, make your own post about it, and/or tell people in your life that this can happen. Because this disease kills. I feel lucky to be alive after this. Though I will likely owe thousands of dollars to the hospital even with insurance. I don't know how much yet, and I'm not looking forward to the bill. Yay to the American healthcare system.

Sidenote, a fascinating side effect happened. I can no longer remember what it feels like to be high. Like intellectually I could tell you what it felt like, but the feeling is no longer there. The urge is no longer there. That's why I've been using past tense when I say I was addicted to it. The desire is simply gone for the first time in ten years. I think my brain is protecting itself. Refusing to allow me to want it so this never happens again. It's incredible what trauma can do to the brain. And may I just say. Thank fucking goodness.

devastating news besties, I developed something called Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS), which is a disorder that causes uncontrollable vomiting whenever you use cannabis

only cure is to quit completely, it's been a week now, longest I've gone for like 2 months now and it's been both easier and harder than I expected

anytime im tempted I tell myself "girl you tore your throat vomiting and threw up blood, it ain't worth it"

but yeah, this is also coming within the same week as I'm moving and I started a new job this week, so if anyone has some kind words I'd appericate it, im doing okay but the fact I was forced to quit because of something so severe has been mentally hard

Cannabigerolo: il componente della cannabis che potrebbe essere l'ansiolitico ideale

Con la legalizzazione della cannabis in vari paesi, i coltivatori di cannabis stanno cercando di diversificare la loro produzione per soddisfare il crescente interesse dei consumatori di cannabis. Mentre il delta-9-tetraidrocannabinolo (THC) continua a essere la principale molecola di interesse tra i consumatori di cannabis per i suoi effetti inebrianti, c’è anche un crescente interesse per…

Cannabis, brimming with oils and ready to harvest.

This is Sour Elektra flower; full of cannabinoids, including gobs of CBD. If grown correctly, as was this example, it will provide 20% cannabinoids or more.

As the name suggests, it is a stimulating flower, good for daytime usage, as it does not relax or cause sleepiness. Instead, it focuses and clarifies.

Sharp, clean, citrus tones flood the nose - it smells oily and rich, like oranges and Christmas trees. This one possesses a purple phenotype, which pleases the eye as well.

But most people enjoy this CBD flower mixed together with traditional THC flower. The synergistic effects between these two major cannabinoids are fantastic, creating a better overall experience than simply using one or the other.

Understanding Drugs and its Types

Drugs, both legal and illegal, have been used for centuries for medicinal, recreational, and cultural purposes. While some drugs are essential for medical treatment, others are harmful and can lead to addiction, health problems, and social issues. In this blog, we’ll explore a range of drugs, their effects, and the reasons behind their prohibition. Cocaine  Heroin  LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide)  marijuana  Cannabis

What Are Drugs?

Drugs are substances that affect the body or mind. They can be categorized as prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, or illegal substances. The latter often pose serious health risks and are banned or tightly regulated in many countries. Methamphetamine (Meth)  Ecstasy (MDMA)  Anabolic Steroids  PCP (Phencyclidine)  Synthetic Cannabinoids 

Let’s delve into some common illegal or restricted drugs, their effects, and the dangers they pose.

Cocaine

Derived from the coca plant, cocaine is a powerful stimulant that increases energy, alertness, and confidence. However, it also causes severe health issues, including heart problems, paranoia, and addiction. The illicit nature of cocaine stems from its high potential for abuse and its harmful social and physical effects.

Heroin

Heroin, an opioid derived from morphine, is one of the most addictive substances. It induces feelings of euphoria but quickly leads to dependence. Overdose risks are high, often resulting in respiratory failure. The drug has devastating effects on individuals and communities, prompting its strict prohibition.

Methamphetamine (Meth)

Meth is a highly addictive stimulant that affects the central nervous system. It increases energy and focus but also causes severe physical and mental health issues, including paranoia, hallucinations, and dental problems (“meth mouth”). Its illegal production in clandestine labs adds to public health and safety concerns.

LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide)

LSD, commonly known as acid, is a hallucinogenic drug that alters perception and mood. Although not typically addictive, it can cause psychological distress and dangerous behaviors. LSD is illegal in most countries due to its unpredictable effects and potential for misuse.

Ecstasy (MDMA)

MDMA, or Ecstasy, is a synthetic drug with stimulant and hallucinogenic properties. Popular in party scenes, it induces feelings of euphoria and emotional closeness. However, it can cause dehydration, overheating, and long-term cognitive issues. Its recreational use is widely banned.

Psilocybin Mushrooms (Magic Mushrooms)

Psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, is a natural hallucinogen. While some studies suggest potential therapeutic benefits, its recreational use is illegal in many regions. The drug alters perception and can lead to panic attacks and confusion.

Marijuana and Cannabis

Cannabis, commonly referred to as marijuana, has been at the center of legalization debates. While medical marijuana is approved in many countries for pain relief and other uses, recreational cannabis remains illegal in several places. Its overuse can lead to dependency, impaired judgment, and respiratory issues.

Synthetic Cannabinoids

Synthetic cannabinoids, often marketed as "legal highs" under names like K2 or Spice, mimic the effects of cannabis but are far more potent and unpredictable. They are associated with severe side effects, including psychosis, seizures, and organ damage. Their sale is banned in many regions.

Anabolic Steroids

Anabolic steroids, synthetic derivatives of testosterone, are sometimes misused for muscle growth and athletic performance. Abuse can lead to heart disease, liver damage, and mood disorders. Non-medical use of steroids is illegal in many countries.

PCP (Phencyclidine)

PCP, or angel dust, is a dissociative drug known for its hallucinogenic effects. It can cause violent behavior, paranoia, and detachment from reality. Its high potential for abuse and dangerous side effects make it illegal for recreational use.
