(10,800 posts)I've never understood the attachment to weed as, like, a piece of identity.
That said, this condition exists. People get it.
I get something similar to it. I don't smoke weed due to this and it's just not really my jam even if there wasn't vomiting. So, I was never a regular user at all, and whenever I've tried it in the past 20 years, it's basically bring on the projectile vomiting.
I think the last attempt was six or seven years ago. A buddy grabbed a joint from a dispensary down the street. I took a few puffs. Maybe 10 mins later, there I am out on the patio. There was nothing in my stomach except a bunch of water, and it was like a fire hose. Could not stop retching for nearly 10 mins. Then I just laid on the concrete for about a half an hour.
I don't have any allergies and second hand pot smoke triggers nothing. There's just something about smoking it that my digestive system wants absolutely zero part of.
I like how it's "Trust the science!" until weed is involved, and then everyone's suddenly an Internet PharmD. I miss submersible experts.
