The background info is that one woman found nothing helped with her cannabis hyperemesis syndrome (symptoms: recurring nausea, vomiting, excruciating stomach pain) except really hot showers. Consequently the other patients tried it and reported that it helped them too. I should’ve posted that too.
From the wikipedia article about cannabis hyperemesis syndrome: Compensatory exposure to hot water, even for hours at a time, may be attempted for symptomatic relief, resulting in compulsive bathing/showering.[8] People have described the hot water relief as "temperature-dependent," meaning that hotter temperatures provide greater relief. It is during this phase that people with cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome are likely to present to the emergency department of the hospital for treatment.
It is an interesting paradoxical condition that can cause the appearance of new problems that people didn’t have before. It’s fairly unknown but apparently there was some research that found an increase in ER visits in states that legalized it. Of course there’s lies, damn lies, and statistics, but I think people should be aware that if they have similar issues, and are smoking enough weed to fuck up their CB-1 receptors, that could be something to analyze.
- ksaj 7y agoThanks for the clarification. On that subject, I've been led to believe the issue is related to chronic bombardment of sky-high THC with much too low CBD concentrations as the main contributor to this receptor burnout. Compare to cultures that smoke a lot of outdoor "sess." They don't care about high percentages since they smoke to their comfort level regardless. They've been doing this forever, and this bad-reaction is a far more recent issue coinciding with the hydroponic strength race. I imagine a lot of the modern concentrates do more harm than good without taking in a CBD balance.
