These reports are based on patients presenting to the ER with cyclical vomiting. After charts are taken and tox reports are done, they've found all of them are habitual to chronic cannabinoid users. It usually happens in the morning and it's unrelated to other factors.
When presenting to the emergency room with possible signs of intoxication, poisoning, or overdose (the scromiting,) it's standard to do a toxicology report, which is how they can rule out alcohol.
Vice has a vibe, it's informal, the tone isn't meant to be taken seriously, but I like it because it's different, and their health and science reporting is always well sourced. If you check out the source in the article it links to a paper.
Just because there's been so much bullshit around weed doesn't mean it's perfect. I did a bit of dealing back in the day, tried different weed every which way, and it's a net negative for me.
But all we know is that it's somehow linked to this persistent vomiting syndrome, it could be certain strains, genetic, or some entirely different reason. It's as important to question the reports as it is to use them to figure out what's going on.
