Part 3/3 The Baseless Science Lacking Reefer Madness Bullshit that CHS is Caused by Cannabis and the Fools that Perpetuate it.
For context I first want to address my strategy to debunk this nonsense fake syndrome called CHS or Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome. In my first blog post entitled “A History of Systematic Campaigns Incorrectly Vilifying Cannabis’s False Adverse Health Effects I list three examples of false negative health effects associated with cannabis, these examples have similar rhetoric to the rhetoric spoken and written by the people perpetuating the lie that CHS is real.
Real Science
In my second blog post entitled The Conclusive, Fact Based, Scientifically Proven Evidence that Cannabis is one of the Most Efficacious Natural Anti-Nausea Aids on the Planet I go into explicit detail with cited sources on how cannabis works as medicine, the title of the blog post really says it all.
I will now go into the most detailed information I can find in favor of the argument that CHS is in fact caused by cannabis, here comes the bullshit.
Fake News
If you google CHS the very first website that comes up is Cedars Sinai which claims this about the syndrome:
“Your digestive tract also has a number of molecules that bind to THC and related substances. So marijuana also affects the digestive tract. For example, the drug can change the time it takes the stomach to empty. It also affects the esophageal sphincter. That’s the tight band of muscle that opens and closes to let food from the esophagus into the stomach. Long-term marijuana use can change the way the affected molecules respond and lead to the symptoms of CHS.“
Lets take a moment to analyze this marijuana also effects the digestive tract holy shit? It effects the digestive tract? Very scientific. Not to mention they use the word Marijuana which the initiated know is a Mexican slur indicative of the race war on people disguised as a war on drugs. Our endocannabinoid system contains more receptors than any other system in our entire bodies so the information that your digestive tract also has a number of molecules that bind to THC is not only ridiculous but the wording itself make no sense what-so-ever. There is zero causation explained in this or any other example of CHS caused by cannabis alone.
More Real Science
Here is a conflicting except from my second blog post on the subject.:
Cannabinoids work on presynaptic CB1 receptors to decrease the release of serotonin into the synapse, which inhibits a nauseous and/or vomiting response. CBD can be used to reduce binding effects on 5-HT3 receptors, thus inhibiting a nauseous and/or vomiting response.
Do you see the difference? One is based in language easily interpreted by people with a limited education and a lack of critical thinking skills and the other is based in science.
My personal experience with the war on drugs and why I’m writing this blog post
Since I was 16 years I have been a victim of the War on Drugs, better described as the war on people. I have had multiple encounters with the law and get zero support from my family concerning my life’s goal, cannabis activism, I was even put on drug tests at 17 years old by my parents for consuming cannabis. The entire reason prohibition can survive is because of the people perpetuating the lies we have about cannabis and its negative effects. It’s bad enough we have to fight the government, conservatives and now the indoctrinated on the same side of the fence. Please read the first two blog post installments on this subject in order to get the full story. I will continue to fight for as long as it takes until cannabis prohibition has ended in this world. One Love.
