I have to keep reminding myself that China's drug policy has its origin in historical trauma and the opinions of its people reflects that. They really think weed is like heroin or something it's tragic.

Gonna go smoke some weed about it

While I'm sure canabinoid hyperemesis is quite a real problem, my anecdotal experience is of an ER doc ignoring a first dose of a medicine taken just before the vomiting began and focusing on marijuana use and diagnosing someone with canabinoid hyperemesis. They just stopped taking the pill and told their doc they need to go back to the old one. Never had an issue since and weed use has dramatically increased around these parts

Yeah, I think this really just feeds into my point. People aren’t even always wrong to withhold drug use from doctors/health care workers because so many of them are judgmental freaks- that is another layer of the problem in itself. That is why the attitude towards drugs are so irrational here

On top of that, cannabis hyperemsis is something that is poorly understood and poorly researched. It was sort of fringe even less than years ago, with only one or two good papers coming from outside the US… And no research at all in the US is generally conducted because of federal issues with legality- historically, the vast majority of research in the UA is usually stuff that is incredibly biased
