Why that results in this kind of bizarre vomiting syndrome, I have no idea. But I remember when I first started hearing the stories of this years ago, and I was just like, how? Because I mean, it is, again, surprisingly counterintuitive because one of the medical uses that people have used cannabis for is as an anti-nauseant, especially in the context of chemotherapy.

And so something that typically has anti-nauseant qualities suddenly triggering a vomiting syndrome is kind of a paradoxical.

I think that's how most people have tried to conceptualize what's going on. It seems to involve the insular cortex. At least the anti-nauseant effects of cannabinoids are involved through the insular cortex. Maybe you have burned out those receptors from chronic use. That endogenous mechanism isn't working or it's somehow flipped in the other direction now and that circuit becomes sensitized.

But it is a very bizarre but very real thing that seems to happen. Again, this isn't common. Like I've heard a couple of people I've met describe it, but it's not like – It's happening to every 10th or 20th person or something.

It's a little more infrequent, but it's certainly happening enough that we've now captured it at a federal data level that this is a thing that people are showing up in the ER for. Interesting.

Yeah. So apparently if it happens, a hot shower is what people claim. So for me, I would say the main – harms that people need to be aware of, the schizophrenia, bipolar, possible cardiovascular effects. And then this is one of these syndromes that can come out of it, as well as possible lung damage from smoking.

Those are the main, I think, genuine bona fide health issues associated with cannabis that people should be aware of. I mean, I know we're not going to probably go into depth with it. On the other side, with the medical stuff, it's a little bit more challenging. I mean, a lot of this is just because we really don't have
