People Are Allegedly Getting Sick From Genetically Modified Weed

SOURCE WRITES: America is on the verge of a new EPIDEMIC – caused by the legalization of weed.

according to reports, more and more of the strains of weed that people are smoking are “genetically modified,” and that’s causing problems.

More and more Americans are coming down with what is being called “weed sickness.” Here’s how CS News is reporting it:

Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, or CHS, is caused by heavy, long-term use of various forms of marijuana. For unclear reasons, the nausea and vomiting are relieved by hot showers or baths.

“They’ll often present to the emergency department three, four, five different times before we can sort this out,” said Dr. Kennon Heard, an emergency room physician in Aurora, Colorado.

He co-authored a study showing that since 2009, when medical marijuana became widely available, emergency room visits diagnoses for CHS in two Colorado hospitals nearly doubled. In 2012, the state legalized recreational marijuana.

“It is certainly something that, before legalization, we almost never saw,” Heard said. “Now we are seeing it quite frequently.”

Outside of Colorado, when patients do end up in an emergency room, the diagnosis is often missed. Partly because doctors don’t know about CHS, and partly because patients don’t want to admit to using a substance that’s illegal.
