So from what I’ve read it seems that the biggest rise in cases of this alleged condition is in states where it is recreational (obviously). One hypothesis is that some of the chemicals or fertilizers are the culprit. After al,l there is no health or safety regulation on this industry yet and many samples have tested positive for harmful chemicals. Most of the time (as with food) we don’t have to worry too much about potentially harmful toxins because they can be filtered by the liver but the lungs are pretty much direct inject into the bloodstream and any toxins in what is inhaled won’t get that chance to be filtered out.
Now with that being said there are many people claiming they are home growers who use absolutely no additives to their product yet also suffer from this condition. There are people who only use edibles who claim to have it. It’s puzzling. Again I remain skeptical of these reports but do find it interesting that doctors are now going on record and reporting increasing number of cases. And of course the guarneteed cure? We’ll just stop smoking...hmmmm makes ya wonder a bit. Anyway I actually find it to help with stomach pain and nausea but there are some theories out there as to why it would be harmful to the gut over time.
Mattie: if you don’t mind me asking did your girlfriend stop smoking when the doctors told her mmj was the cause? And if so have her symptoms gone away? Thanks for sharing your story!
PS; another symptom of this syndrom is the constant need to take warm baths or showers as this supposedly helps detract from the stomach pain.
