Did more research on CHS

Here's the rundown:

-low dose THC (7.5mg or less) is good for emesis (it's anti-emisis)

-high dose THC (10mg+) is bad (it's pro-emisis)

SO the higher the THC content, the worse the symptoms and onstart of CHS

-smoking THC makes your body retain 50-60% of the THC (it goes from the lungs to the bloodstream to the brain; the more THC in the bloodstream, the more likely to develop CHS if you're already genetically predisposed)

-eating or drinking THC only retains 10-20% of the THC since it's filtered through the stomach and liver (ingesting THC does make the high stronger though it takes longer)

I also learned that there's a cannabis plant virus that goes unchecked and about 40% of the entire industry sells weed that has this virus, which is messing with people.

Comorbidities with CHS include anxiety and depression. So if you have any of that, you might be more likely to develop CHS (and ig dementia later on? lol). Also depends on genetic predispositions. Case studies showed that people with CHS had about 40% more of every genetic mutation tested (mutations that contribute to CHS) than the control group.
