Been going through this for over a year now and I promise you we can get through this! We just gotta learn how to live without it❤️

[@BBooBooBop]

How long did it take before you could eat normally again?

[@roba165]

I smoked weed for 14 years straight, almost every day. I was lucky enough to have almost no side effects. The first week I was agitated and moody, could not sleep very well, but eating was never a problem. I think mostly because I was working out almost every day even though I was a stoner and when I quit I worked out even more. That helped me stay hungry and detox faster and get my daily dose of dopamine spikes to not feel like shit all day.

[@imanih.6594]

My heart aches for you, stay strong and hopeful love. Feeling like shit all the time really sucks, especially when something you enjoy is the cause of it. You got this💯👏🏽❤️

[@TLM-098]

@@amandaaapanandaaa thanks for asking ☺️... I’m doing ok, gave up for a few months and honestly felt the best I’ve felt in a very long time, luckily it wasn’t that difficult for me and my journey, I felt sick, really anxious and the worst was getting snappy at people and a little sweaty but it only went on for about 2 weeks I actually dealt with it people well with the help of vitamins, meditation and yoga... unfortunately when covid happened and I have been dealing with deaths in my workplace I ended up smoking again to help me through it, i was a little hard on myself but I was at a low point, I think weed is amazing but it isn’t amazing for everyone... I plan on giving up again very soon as i get to a point where I don’t enjoy it anymore and need to be clear headed!!! I hope you are doing ok?

I had it bad and couldn’t stop. My first time to the ER I had diagnosed CHS along with severe sepsis and diabetic DKA. After that I continued to smoke and was in and out of the ER for a year. I went from 155lbs to 120 and I’m 6 foot 2. I was also on benzos prescribed and I just checked myself into treatment. I’m now 4 months with no cannabis and I’m feeling better but will miss the herb.

This is a great video. Nothing but truth. So many people are promoting tips and tricks or taking tolerant breaks and continue to smoke. It’s so dangerous to spread mis information like that.

[@MackenzieOrcutt]

I agree! I wanted those tips and tricks to work for months and they just made me sicker! Until we know more about CHS and how to / if we can treat it, you just gotta stay clear of THC and CBD!

[@julianeinsel7346]

It seems like some people are able to moderate (once or twice every month) without getting sick. I have been on a CHS discord for awhile and many people practice moderated use without issue. Not saying it is recommended, but everyone is different and it is possible for some patients to use cannabis on occasion

How are you doing? I’ve been going through this as well… plus opiate withdrawal at the same time, I was throwing up for months… just finding out what this CHS is and I’m super happy I finally realize why I couldn’t gain weight my whole life cause I started weed when I was 13… 25 now and today is my last day smoking. I was in the shower all day yesterday screaming so I’m just officially done. But I’m gonna finish my stash today. Hope you’re doing well nowadays :)

[@kkgartner]

I’m going through the same thing Mackenzie. I’ve been off weed for only 5 days, but today was the first time I woke up not nauseated. I’m still nauseated but it’s not as bad today. I’ve been smoking for 4 years daily, but I want to feel better. Weed is not worth this pain. I’m praying I feel better and better. I have the other problem with this with diarrhea. We’ll get better. I have no desire to smoke anymore, and I smoked for pain from a car accident, but no more.

I didn’t had any pain or vomiting it was just in the morning that i trew up. Now i’m 8 months sober to clean my system. i didn’t develop the pain and the non stop vomiting but still i’m still afraid to smoke. I need some advice from someone who had the same issue like me.

It's okay if you're having a hard time, don't force it but make sure you're staying hydrated! I drank a lot of pedialyte that first week or two and ate popsicles or smoothies to get calories in. You'll feel better soon if you don't smoke I promise!!

Hey thank you for this video! I’m 19 and I’ve been smoking weed for abit 4 years daily just like you explained, on October 14th I was diagnosed with CHS since then it’s been 3 days that I haven’t used any form of cannabis. I use tums for the heart burn and Gravol for the nausea. But it’s been 3 days without eating mind you I’m drinking water and Gatorade religiously, I feel like I’m literally dying and I just want to eat food, any tips on how to eat and not feel like an empty stomach

[@MackenzieOrcutt]

First off congratulations for making a decision like this for your health, I know it’s really tough to give up. Honestly there were times I didn’t eat for like 5 days at a time, but I’d say try smoothies to get your calories in, or drinking sugary drinks to make sure your blood sugar is staying regular. Soft foods like squash and banana also help. Even if you’re just taking a few bites at a time, always keep some food by you and try to eat more frequently. I’d just keep a small meal by my side until I finished it, even if it took the whole day. It started getting easier to eat after a few weeks.. stay strong you can do this!

[@miakeys4280]

I talked to my doctor and they prescribed me two nausea medications to help me through the next few weeks. I've been throwing up every day violently for almost two years. Enevr thought it could be the weed. Now I know. I'm on day two of no cannibas and I havent eaten yet. I'm so hungry but I have no appetite.

Today is my first day with no weed, but the pain and nausea have been there for 3 and a half weeks not knowing what i was doing to my body, I never smoked just to smoke, I smoke to keep calm and just be myself, without it i panic too easily when i wasnt smoking i was always having anxiety attacks and little did i know weed the only medicine’ that helped me the most would be the only thing to hurt me physically.

[@MackenzieOrcutt]

Yep. Same exact reason I smoked. I got prescribed a kind of emergency anxiety medication that I'd take when I'd get panic attacks, which was pretty much daily or more than that in the beginning. After about a year without smoking, my anxiety is the same as when I did smoke, I'm just not hurting my body anymore like that. Look at this as an opportunity to develop healthier coping mechanisms. Weed doesn't really help you deal with your anxiety, it just suppresses it until it bubbles out in other ways. Much love girl :)

Because until this pass couple of year's, since legalizing weed All These physical and mental health concerns have a cured? I know a lot of ppl that smoke weed, eat edibles, that have NEVER in the 85 years, of living, has never had these symptoms or problems? God Bless! Maybe they should have done a study on Bob Marley? Because this seems weird, like somebody laced your weed with something beautiful? COVID really messed things up, because doctor's and people with big money control the weed in some states more than other's?

My husband was just diagnosed with CHS yesterday. We’ve been trying to find out what was going on for years. He’s still sick today. Any advice to speed up recovery process?

[@MackenzieOrcutt]

Unfortunately, there is no fast way to speed up this recovery process that I found! I’d say to just be supportive and help him with STAYING AWAY from weed and CBD/hemp products entirely! Anytime you partake, it resets the whole recovery process (from what I found). Cold turkey is the best option. I’d also suggest to avoid foods that are hard to digest (vegetables that aren’t boiled, whole grains, etc) until his digestion is back to normal. I was on a smoothie and soup diet for several weeks :/ good luck to you both!

[@reaIIifebootbaby]

I’m a Chs sufferer, at least twice a year I’d get it. I’m experiencing it right now, you can not speed up the pain. You have to go through it. And from there determined if you’re going to keep putting yourself through it.

[@ericcapdevila6615]

Welp it’s ganna be day one off no weed you have inspired me to quit I have Chs too and I am in phase one and before I get too phase 2 ima just stop

[@MackenzieOrcutt]

You got this!! :)

[@marimarsilva4629]

One day two of not smoking working out really helps

[@thunderchargingbear]

I got chs too.... So this video is a year old.... have you started smoking back? If so, did chs hit you again???

[@MackenzieOrcutt]

I haven’t smoked since I quit! From what I’ve read and heard about CHS, it comes back if you start smoking again and I don’t wanna go through that again

[@thunderchargingbear]

@@MackenzieOrcutt ok. I was just asking. I saw a Dr say that some folks who have to use medicinally that have chs should switch strains and lower usage they will be ok....

[@FRANKSKIDS]

I had all those similar Problems in the past. What worked for me to stop the severe allergic reactions and stomach problems was: 1) smoke concentrates instead of flower. I’m highly allergic to the flower but not the oil, wax, shatter, etc 2) Exercise - strenuous exercise like doing martial arts, yoga, and meditation will help with anxiety. I recommend Capoeira for the full mind and body experience. 3) Diet - Try things like intermittent Fasting or OMAD-One meal a day to let the body heal....this worked wonders for me but everyone is different. Good luck and thanks for sharing.

[@mybeardnappybaybee]

That's weird,any form of thc causes me to vomit for a week I quit anything related to thc ESPECIALLY oils

[@FRANKSKIDS]

a gengar with a sexy smile yes I am wondering if I just have some sort of allergy to certain parts of the plant? Or certain terpines or cannabinoids. There are over 100 cannabinoids in every bud. Maybe it’s not CHS but just an allergy?

[@tylermiller7830]

@@FRANKSKIDS no it's CHS she's describing it exactly like I have it.

[@tylermiller7830]

Concentrates will make it worse than just smoking flower. Y'all even get CHS from CBD and edibles the only cure is to quit smoking, I've been smoking every day for over 20 years worked in the marijuana industry and now I have to quit but all I want to do is smoke cuz that's all I know but I can't because I'll have severe abdominal pain and throwing up in end up in the ER again.

[@MackenzieOrcutt]

@@tylermiller7830 I felt the same way. Felt like it was impossible to live without weed. But here I am, about 5 months later and haven’t touched it since, and I feel amazing. Haven’t thrown up since the day I stopped or had any other issues. Just know you’re not alone and you CAN do it, all the best 💛

[@spekenbonen72]

I'm not trying to ridicule health conditions. But I have been smoking weed/hash for 28 years. Up to several grams a day. Never had this. Never had any of my friends seen suffering from CHS either. Could be bad weed (fertilizer or insecticides used in the cultivation of it). Not sure if there are any rules in the U.S. of A. for growing weed. But here in the Netherlands, our F.D.A. would close shop if a seller would use these kind of things. Anyway. Good on you for kicking a bad habbit. Keep at it. FWIW I would never recommend anyone, with serious responsibilities (like still studying, a job which is mainly driving a car or operating machines etc.), to smoke weed/use drugs. Drugs are generally bad, m'kay.

[@slowjamcdub]

A lot of people are getting this now it’s not rare anymore

[@grubbertingrubbertin7420]

Are you buy it at the store

[@relativetheory3018]

A lot of street pot as well as recreational pot is soaked with pesticides and fed with chemicals that Require a hazmat suit to be around. There are alot of growers that are poisoning their consumers and they are well aware but their profit comes before your Health my advice if you want to keep smoking grow your own organic pot so you know exactly what’s going in your body. I’ve been in your situation before I started smoking and I was in-N-Out of doctors offices specialist you name it I felt thought I was going to die and I never got an answer from the professionals they just wanted to give me meds without knowing if it was gonna work or not I refused and decided to do my own research on food and decided to go all organic no GMO‘s or processed foods and I bounce back in less than a month. I always grew my own pot but In between grown I went to a dispensary to pick a a zip to hold me off till mine was done and it gave me a sore throat and I felt nauseous after smoking it and loss of appetite I found that extremely odd because munchies is one of my favorite symptoms of smoking ok so maybe I got a bad batch went to a different dispensary and similar effects I never experienced this with my own crop but the experience mad me quit smoking and eating cannabis because it reminded me of my illness before I started smoking I replaced smoking with fitness and I feel like a Phoenix rising from the ashes. I loved smoking and growing but it’s not worth my health. I hope you continue to regain you strength

[@byroncudworth6918]

I think smoking weed daily is a bad idea. If you drink everyday you would be classed as an alcoholic. I will only get high on my days off. It will fuck you up, memory, organisation and motivation. I don't know why people see it as a harmless substance, you can smoke everyday, you wouldn't eat cream cakes everyday.

[@WWEBiggestfan1997]

That stupid too say when weed helps people with cancer and getting sick and liver disease and helps people eat and helps with stress… what does drinking help with nothing.. these doctors will do anything to blame it on the weed so you keep going back to see them so they can get paid and you get a hospital bill so the government also gets paid … if this world found out the truth about weed and how it cures we would need less doctors and that means less hospital bills they will do anything to turn us against weed … so they can get paid more just think about that… even if I didn’t smoke I respect it and what it has done to help the planet and people with cancer get to live longer… it’s a good plant 🌱 not a drug do your research….

[@phreaspeek]

You feel better quitting other drugs sooner because your body gets rid of them faster. Weed takes sooo long to metabolize that's why it takes so long to feel better. I'm 55 smoked daily for 40 years. I have chs I've been through living hell. Finally on day 3 of sobriety I can no longer take the pain, vomiting, diarrhea, severe sweating and thousands of hours in baths, showers and hot tubs.

[@chocolatewheelchair]

If you don’t quit you won’t get withdrawal or any symptoms at all you’ll be happy and good feel strong and good eat food pray to jah
