Thanks for talking about this. I appreciate your vulnerability. It's wild how little this is talked about in the 420 community.
It is wild. People don’t want to admit it most times that marijuana is causing this. It’s on the rise for sure!
I’m just here to help anybody who needs it.
@@getbettertodayCHSget back to me bro
I’m a single father and I have my own place and Ive been struggling to keep my job dealing with the sickness. I’m scared I don’t wanna lose my house. I stopped smoking marijuana yesterday and I’m really sick today but watching this video I started crying because someone actually understood what I’m going through. I really appreciate your video, and I appreciate you for taking the time to explain your sickness. It’s crazy because the pain makes me wanna smoke again to feel better so I have to tough it out 😢
You have to tough it out no matter what. I promise in a matter of weeks you will feel like a whole new person if you stay the course! You got this!!
How are you doing sir? I am a week in and my appetite is getting better but nausea is pretty constant throughout the day
@@wundo9372 I regressed about two weeks ago, and thought CBD with THC basically a one-to-one would help and that definitely wasn’t the case. my girlfriend’s family have took me in like a sick animal lol to help me I’m five days clean and I’m getting better surely but slowly. I realize there’s no quick answer for this. There is no medication to suppress the pain. so I made a video when I was at my sickness to remind me when I’m better to never go back thank you and I hope everyone fights this all you guys whoever is strong and you can do it. If anybody needs anybody to talk to me anytime thank you.
@@wundo9372 each day will get a little better and easier! Keep going! Nice work! You’ve got this no doubt
I’m so sorry you’re going through this hell. The shit almost killed me, twice. At first I didn’t believe it was marijuana but now I know it’s the cause. Baby steps, but I never want to go through that hell again. It’s given me PTSD, I can’t even talk about it without crying. Praying for you. ❤
The best way I've gotten through CHS (5-6 times), was a heating pad on my stomach, many HOT showers, GD pedialite, zero sugar Gatorade, salt crackers with beef broth, WATERRRRRR, and Zofran.
I'm currently 16 days without weed and I'm feeling amazing, but the first 5 days were hell every time I quit.
For everyone reading this; this guy knows what he's talking about.
It's also scary seeing how much this is on the rise.
Much love everyone, you will get through this!
That’s awesome! Good for you!
Thank you for your input! That’s great information.
You should be damn proud of yourself for making the change. Lets make it the LAST time!
Food is key you guys. Consistency is key. I like what this person listed as to what helped them food wise. Those are great ideas. And bare minimum essentials that will get your body through the “hell days”.
One love people! We are all in this together and the goal is to GET BETTER TOGETHER.
It’s a very serious issue that needs to start being discussed.
Congratulations on 19 days now!!
Thank you so much
That pain in your stomach is from constipation. Happens every time I quit. Drink coffee until you crap your brains out and make sure to drink lots of water and Gatorade and do some light exercise. The constipation is also what makes you feel nauseous.
@UnseemlyGenie00 how can someone be constipated when they can't even eat while going through this hell?
Your endo cannabinoid receptors are fried so bad that it can't turn off the nausea feeling.
Also, you're more than likely in bed, dying.
But ok.
Literally 15 minutes ago I turned 18 and earlier this day I was hospitalized for the second time due to CHS, I was diagnosed with this today and it all makes sense now, thank you so much for making this video and helping me not feel alone out here because nobody knows what I’m going through, mentally and physically. It really puts it all on perspective. I am done with weed. It is not my ally any longer.
It’s an unfortunate reality but it is reality for us.
Thank you for reaching out and you should be damn proud of yourself for making and realizing the change. It takes a lot and it’s a long hard battle. But I truly believe if I can do it, ANYONE can do it.
@@getbettertodayCHS thank you, and I will follow your advice and live the best life I can for myself, and my family. Thank you again for what you do.
Amazing video! Kept it real the whole time.
When I first stopped, I drank a bunch of smoothies to make sure my body was getting something and that made it much easier. If you abuse marijuana like I did, it’s only holding you back. You will never reach the best version of yourself being high 24/7.
Missed out on so many moments staying home and being sick.
Thank you for your story! That is kick ass!
Really appreciate you putting this video out there for us fellow CHS sufferers. I had quit smoking for 2 years after being diagnosed and then started smoking again for about 8 months, only to have it come back full force. Im currently 2 weeks sober, and dealing with the nausea/vomiting. I have no plans of ever smoking again because of how bad I’ve felt this time around. It can feel like such a lonely journey, since there aren’t too many videos out there about it. So thank you for taking the time to spread your story and the message about CHS! I can feel your heart through the video and am just so thankful you put yourself out there ❤
That’s exactly why I created this channel. Because when I went through it multiple times I was always alone. And I would try and explain my situation to people and they could never understand it. And I feel that’s just it. You can’t understand unless you have been through it personally.
I’m so grateful that it’s reaching people in need.
Just fyi, I went through it 3 times. 1st time I quit and got healthy I went over 365 days without smoking and then went back to it after telling myself I never was going to again. Then repeat 2 more times before I finally said enough is enough. Just keep that in mind. Stay on track!
You should be damn proud of yourself for making the change!

By the way, you’re welcome. I hope people read stories like yours and take it seriously. This is turning out to be a great community of people all suffering but want the change.
What doctor diagnosed you and with what exactly?
Extremely encouraging and genuine video…..thank you!
Thank you for the insight!
3rd day sober, drinking a lot of water, eating fruits, salads with proteins, still training MMA (without weed this time) and boii am I going through hell.
“Retrain your body”. 💪 that’s gonna keep me going!
Thank you!
So good to hear this! You got it no doubt!
Good for you just one day at a time remember!
Answer is just smoke more weed
Just got diagnosed last week and I’m only 18, luckily for me it wasn’t hard to quit. I’m a full week sober and have been feeling much better 🙏🏽 anyone reading this Just know That things will get better
That is awesome! You should be damn proud of yourself for making the leap to get better and to recognize it so early.
Keep on track! Keep going! It sucks but our bodies for whatever reason can’t handle marijuana. It’s as simple as that. Accept it now. Your future self will thank you. Don’t be like me and go back to it multiple times after getting healthy. Just stay on course!
Keep me updated please. I do not doubt you for one second.

@@getbettertodayCHS thanks man, Great Video considering there isn’t too much awareness about CHS, not sure if it was something I ate or if it was me smelling weed because my neighbor likes to smoke in his car and when I went outside I could smell it but this morning I was feeling nauseous and started feeling like I needed to throw up but nothing would come out. I Took The Zofran The doctor prescribed me after my trip to The ER and it made me feel much better
@@19kambo probably both. I remember the smells of food would trigger me so easily and I would have to totally exit myself from the area. That’s when you know it’s pretty bad is when you can’t even handle the smells. It’s the weirdest feeling nobody would ever understand unless they go through it themselves.
Kam, you're a bad ass mother fucker for taking the steps in the right direction of soberness from weed!
Zofran is a God send for me, and I'm glad it helps you out! I'm on 4mg of it every morning (until I stop feeling Nauseous).
You are physical proof that life is better without the herb!
Congratulations on a full week! 👏

@@kyletroutman-kman 🙏🏽thank you
I was 9 months sober and started smoking again a bit and haven't had any issues but I know it is just a matter of time so I came looking for a video like this. Thank you for motivating me. Better to stop now then to deal with an episode ever again.
Good for you! I highly recommend staying off for good. It will return eventually. I struggle with staying sober to this day and I know immediately what I need to do and I always kick myself asking why I went back down that road.
I hope you are still doing well, I am currently with an 20ished episode of chs over the last 15 years and it always comes back!
I will seek profesionnal help to help me understand why I still do this to myself...
Stay safe it's not worth it.
Dude I’ve had this for years and couldn’t figure out what was going on. Thanks so much for bringing this to light.
You’re welcome! That’s all I want to do is help.
I developed this back in 2014 before weed was grown the way it is now.
@@zhernandoz43 while this may be true… I can’t seem to find anybody who can explain why anyone else I would associate with could smoke the same marijuana and never suffer from any CHS symptoms. Only me.
@@zhernandoz43 I grew my own or used regulated products so not pesticides.
So I was watching your video this morning while I finished my bowl. I wasn't going to have any til this eve when my boyfriend gets home. But instead I DECIDED TO TRY TO QUIT. I'm nervous but excited to hopefully feel better. I'm sick of feeling like shit. Thank you so much. Listening to you became my final step in wanting to try to be better. Yay
I’m so glad to hear that. That’s my goal with all of this is to inspire people to be better!
I believe in you! If I can do it, anyone can!
Thank you for making this video. Currently I have stopped smoking and drinking, cold turkey. I have lost weight and have been working out. It feels good to be free of my addictions. I thought I was alone in this experience. Thanks again for your videos.
It’s a constant battle but you’re headed in the right direction! One day at a time. Good for you!
You’re welcome
Thank you so much for bringing light to this topic. I’ve suffered so bad with this crap that it’s almost killed me twice. At first I didn’t believe it was marijuana because I had smoked for 20+ years. Now I know for sure marijuana was the cause. I have ptsd from the absolute hell I went through. I once threw up 12 days straight, I don’t know how I survived 😢.
Thanks for reaching out.
I know exactly how you feel. I just don’t want anyone to have to deal with it alone and I want as much information on it as known possible. That’s why I started this channel, so people can share their story and people who are suffering can go and read through the conversations and experiences. Use it as motivation. Use it as a daily reminder to not go back to that hell.
You should be proud of yourself! It is and will be a constant battle. One day at a time. One more day sober 💪🏼
You are a great spokesman and speak with authority. You will be able to help others.
Thank you
I really appreciate you making this video because it really feels lonely sometimes. The hardest part for me was telling my friends I had the condition and none of them could relate and I even lost some friends cause of it. I’ve experienced my second episode in a month and was rushed to the hospital with a heart rate of 126 and my kidneys were starting to produce protein. It’s so hard for me to accept that my love and comfort in my life is poison to my body all of the sudden. I didn’t see any links to get in contact but it would be awesome if you could share some info or groups of people who can relate.
So sorry to hear that you’re going through it. It’s a very lonely situation and that’s why I wanted to make this community. For people like yourself because I was in the same position. I had no one who understood any of it.
Do you have Instagram? We can direct message on there. And I want to help anyway I can! @getbettertoday_ is my Instagram handle.
I appreciate this so much genuinely!!
Hey man, thanks for sharing your story. I found your video/channel in the recommended section while watching another video about recovery, so the algorithm most definitely did its thing.
How are you doing bro I’m going they it too and I see your comment is more recent. The pain hits harder Bc you feel alone in this and the pain is soo bad
Thanks for the advice man, seriously, thank you.
You’re welcome
I have suffered from CHS for over 20 years. It was misdiagnosed for about 15 years. I had multiple surgeries that were unnecessary. Retired early from my dream career. Spent countless hours in the hospital. Ended up addicted to pain meds. Missed hundreds of family events. After diagnosis I was in denial and continued smoking. I finally stopped and the symptoms went away. I still struggle with this horrible condition but I now know what is causing it. I encourage anyone who is suffering with this horrible condition to listen to this video and read the testimonials. You will get your life back if you stop smoking weed.
Thank you very much for sharing your story. Every story shared helps people all around the country. It helps to read everyone’s story!
Keep killing it! You should be damn proud of yourself after all the turmoil it has cause you.

Did you get appendix removed by chance?
@@Sete_313 I never have, no.
Anyone else?
@Sindone no, but my doctor suggested that I have tests run on my gallbladder to see if that needed to be removed bc of how much pain I was having.
That wasn't causing my pain. CHS was.
I quit and there was no more pain.
I've also been scoped orally to see if I had any abnormalities in my stomach, and all I had was inflammation
@@Sete_313 No I still have my appendix thankfully. But I did have my gallbladder removed and it did nothing to help my symptoms. I also had stomach surgery for acid reflux that the doctor thought was causing my problems. That also did nothing to help my symptoms. It wasn't until I stopped smoking that my sickness went away.
Thank u I’m glad you made this and was truthful. I jus watched a vid of someone who had CHS and went to the hospital many times and he still toook a break from weed then went back to it and said he didn’t have as much issues. He was like u don’t have to quit forever but u need to focus on sleep and blah blah. I was like this is not the advice I need to hear haha. So, to hear you say “u have to quit” was so refreshing. I been addicted to weed for 5 years and am excited to be sober and save up money. I got rid of my shit today and got $200 out of it! Money money here I come!
How are things going, Hope?
@@kyletroutman-kman I am a month sober now!! And, honestly I tried hitting one hit of weed 2 separate times and my body started getting super hot lol I’ve decided I’m done done with weed for good. I don’t really desire it anymore but I do kinda crave a high feeling but I am scared of weed but I’m happier I think and more energetic
Thank you for this I suffer from CHS, and just diagnosed what I have after 5 years of suffering. I have suffered intensely for the past 5 years and it has almost ruined my relationship. I am still suffering and just smoked today. I just learned about this CHS yesterday and I'm very scared. I know what I have to do to get better I'm just very confused about how to stop cannabis use. I've used it heavily for about 14 years. Everything you said in your video really hit home for me. I am going to try my absolute hardest now to quit cold turkey, I know it will be very hard, but I have to. I appreciate any support of any kind. I live in Wisconsin where it's illegal but I have still used it for half my life. I have been going through hell and everything you said literally sounds like me and what I've been going through, thank you for videos and support
Hey thanks for reaching out to me! This is exactly why I made this channel. I know there has to be people out there going through exactly what I went through and I wanted to make a community of people who want to help each other.
You found this page for a reason! I am here to help you however I can for as long as I can. If you have Instagram get with me on there and we can message a lot easier. Anytime of day doesn’t matter to me. @getbettertoday_1
As far as the quitting goes, it’s literally the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I still suffer from random relapses but thankfully I can break them instantly because I know exactly what to do and what steps to take.
It’s very simple, you have to stop the use 100%. No once a day or even once a week. No marijuana use 100% for 4 weeks. Once the 4 weeks passes (sometimes quicker for others) you will absolutely start to feel healthy and see how it’s working. You will be a new person and start to believe in the process.
I now exert all of my addiction energy into fitness and exercising. It’s helped me tremendously stay off of it and helps my body recover quicker and get healthier faster. You are going to be literally retraining your digestive system and brain.
It’s so much work I will tell you upfront. You will get so sick some days (first 1-10 days) but you have to stay the course! No matter what. If you fall back to marijuana you will start all over.
I will help you every single day. I will walk you through what helped me. I can also even give you the mental toughness program I put myself through to get my mind and energy off of marijuana use. (Absolutely free program)
Let me know what you think and how I can help.
Thank you so much, I will get back on Instagram and friend you. THANK YOU! This is really big for me to meet a blue collar guy like me who has suffered in the same ways, today is day 1 for me. Getting on my bike now and going for a long ride my cravings are intense right now, but I'm just going to exercise. My CHS episode was minor this morning, but sometimes terrible, of course you know how it is Thank you for taking time out of your busy life for this, it is HUGE
@@iwldeblaze I will always find time to help. I needed it the most.
Have a great ride! And I look forward to talking with you.
Hey man, I just came across your video. I’ve had CHS for the last 10 years and I’m too stubborn to quit, but now is the time I am quitting and changing my life your video help me change my mind. I am going to CHS right now and it sucks. I subscribed to your channel.
It’s the hardest but best decision I’ve ever made. It took me many tries but I’m finally over 100 days sober and I’ve never felt better.
You should be damn proud for wanting and deciding to change! Let me know if I can help in anyway.
I am 7 days clean. I have had CHS for 30 years, it's horrible. It ruined my life, but I have a second chance in life. I have had two relapses. I just recently found out about CHS through my daughter. I did not want to believe something that was helping me was actually the cause, but it is 100% the reason. I threw all the weed, vapes, everything in the garage yesterday. Dr.s diagnosed me with gastritis and IBS. All these years my body has been fighting to survive. I will NEVER smoke again. I want my life back, and I will. Thank you for sharing.
Best of luck to you! Give it time and stay strong. It will get better. Your neurochemistry will rebalance itself and you will feel better than ever.
Thankyou bro I been smoking for the past 10 years almost everyday and I’ve been going through this thinking I just had problems with my digestive tract, I just accepted that I was probably dying until I used chat gpt to try and pin point what it could be, I started eating healthier started working out more thinking I could better myself without having to give up weed, I also stopped smoking for the past week to cleanse and noticed I was feeling good again so I smoked and instantly as soon as I inhaled it’s like my stomach was crushing in on itself, I can’t be 100% sure because I’m not vomiting and that seems like a huge part of it
As far as I can tell you are definitely suffering from CHS. Maybe in the beginning phase or it’s just happening to you a little differently. It differs from person to person significantly but everyone shares the stomach issues who has CHS. My biggest recommendation is to stop the use now for good. You’ll find out after a good amount of time being sober that it is definitely the root cause. Give it up now before it gets any worse brother. I dont know why we specifically suffer from it. But it’s just something we have to accept. It can get so much worse.
Stay in touch!

You’re exactly right, there’s very little awareness out there on this matter. That’s why i figured I’d start this channel. To bring awareness and to bring a community together who have been through it or are going through it to help each other. The more and more I find there’s a lot of people struggling with CHS.

I do however appreciate & respect the hell outta you for sharing & trying to help others .
Bc of you im gna educate myself on the matter.
I do have morning sickness & nausea/vomiting etc. But i contracted H.pylori bacteria from work somehow & after treating that now have stomach ulcers.
I say all of that to say maybe what you are speaking of IS actually affecting me somehow. Thanks again bro
You can go as long as u want thinking u dont have it but once u stop thats when it comes this happens sober not high.
Thank you, after having many episodes. This was my last episode, I gave all my roaches away and even the little bit of bud too. I hate this feeling

Thank you bro to hear someone’s journey
You’re very welcome! I’m glad this channel reached you man. I felt the same way, super upset I couldn’t enjoy marijuana any longer but it’s reality and for whatever reason our bodies can’t handle it.

Thanks for this. Just got out of the hospital after a 5 day stay with CHS. At a hospital I work as a nurse at….talk about embarrassing. Still waking up sick but this gave me hope. Thank you.
If I can do it, anyone can! I believe in you.
I am going through it for the maybe 20th time in 15 years... I hope you are feeling better.
It will always comeback...longest time without it and still smoking was about a year for me...
Holy shit, I have heard of but Never broken down like this,
I would stop also, I have stopped for years at a time all ways going back. I have learned to regulate and use responsively. It took me 40+ years to get here. Moderation tolerance, brakes time off daily use wears on you ✌🏻
I 100% agree with this! It’s what needs to be practiced. I had horrible use habits to say the least.
I been going through CHS for the last 2-3 years , I went 6 months sober , started back smoking it took 2-3 months to come back “chs” and I done had over 10 episodes, I can finally say I let it go for good I’m now 3 months back sober but you know I still crave it but thinking about how awful it is I just tell myself I don’t need , I’m glad it’s people out there that feel how I felt , I look around and say how can other people smoke I can’t , hope you doing good tho bro .
How are you doing now? I apologize I took so long to reply
Thank you for this, CHS is absolute hell! I'm a type one diabetic and CHS is killing me. I'm determined to quit though.
You got this!! If I can do it.. anyone can! I mean that.
hi, I heard about it for the first time eight weeks ago because I am affected myself and my wife found out through research. I've been consuming for 30 years, sometimes more, sometimes less. I've been misdiagnosed for years and doctors just don't know CHS exists. the key was that I really felt the urge to go swimming. so we could find out that CHS is and exists. the last incident was so severe that I feared for my life. I've been clean since then and try to enlighten people in Germany like you do. we are also close to legalization and no one is addressing the issue. people are definitely at higher risk here as there have already been deaths from CHS. Unfortunately, cannabis is no longer the harmless drug that is safe. stay healthy and keep clarifying things, greetings from Germany
Greetings from Colorado! Thank you for reaching out and thank you for doing your part over there! It’s a horrible deal to have to experience and go through. So happy for you you were able to get away from it!
hey, i got CHS about 3 years ago and was hospitalized, it was severe and i lost 27 pounds in two weeks. I want to share what I've learned. 1, the only way to never have a CHS attack is to simply stop smoking weed. 2. if you are in a CHS attack and cannot stop throwing up, you need to take 2 benedryl every 4 hours as it will help a ton, i didn't know thiis for a while and it's a game changer. 3, when you are trying to keep something down, have a popsicle in a steaming hot shower, the hot shower will help keep the popsicle down. it's a horrible horrible syndrome, please if anyone sees this and wants any tid bits, i can help.
Thank you for sharing. That is all great information for people who are struggling through this right now!
I started having these symptoms since the 24th of December I've been going to the hospital frequently till one of the doctors told me about CHS yesterday I thought let me take a hit that should help don't get me wrong it did help for a bit but when I woke up today I was in so much pain I had to just write it out but I made a decision this morning that I'm done and I've been doing so much research on CHS and this was the only solution and thanks to all of the videos I've watched today including you thank you I'm going to have to quit
I’m glad you made that decision for yourself! It’s a long battle but a worthwhile one for sure!
CHS made quitting smoking pot the easiest decision ive ever made. This shit is no joke. The muscle pain was so severe its unbelievable. CHS made opiod withdrawal feel like lightwork
im from australia and ive suffered from severe CHS for the last 10 years.
ive had over 50 hospital visits in that time.
here in australia its not talked about and chs is believed to be some what of a myth here.
and because of that i become so sick and spent way to much time of my life in hot showers and emergency rooms.
hospital kept telling me was chs and i couldnt believe that something i love so much could cause me so much pain (weed).
i first got chs when i was in my early 20s now im 31 and im still struggling to completely kick the weed out of my life.
i found that being a heavy smoker was key to me becoming so sick and eventually hospitalized especially smoking through water pipe(bongs)
so now ive found away that specifically works for me (i do not recommend this for anyone else)
now i smoke joints with a tobacco mix with minimal use just one at night to help me sleep and i very rarely get any chs symptoms accept for some occasional belly pains.
my end goal is to completely kick the weed out but for some reason just the thought of saying goodbye to weed is so daunting.
been a heavy smoker since i was 15.
Hey thank you for your story and for reaching out!
That’s awesome you have find a temporary solution.
I was the same way, I wouldn’t believe it was the marijuana doing the harm. How could something so good that’s supposed to be medicine hurt me this bad? I had those same thoughts.
Unfortunately or fortunately however you look at it I came to the conclusion and decided to just give a try to get sober. I had nothing to lose at that point. And sure enough 30-35 days later I was 100% healthy.
I do have to say that in my experience your CHS will return slowly over time. Sometimes at random times when you think you’re healthy. I tried the once a week thing and just never worked for me. So my best advice (I know how damn hard it is and a lot easier said than done) but just getting off the plant 100%. The life you have ahead of you is indescribable how good it is without the worry of CHS what so ever.
Let me know how I can help! I’m an open book about it and can help in any ways you need.
here is also something, i had a severe CHS attack, didnt smoke for 6 months, smoked 6 months later about once a week, and it does come back, it's so nice to know someone went through the same hell i went through, it literally takes you to the brink of death and organ failure throwing up 30 times a day for weeks
When your symptoms appeared were you like smoking in that moment and you got sick (and had been for this 6months) or was it like a day after you Stoped smoking you felt symptoms?
Can you answer the question the other person asked please
Been through this myself. Im 33 years old with a 4 month old and a beautiful wife. Been smoking cannabis since I was 14 daily. I've been battling CHS since 2020. I've also gone through 3 rounds of relapse myself. Been cannabis free for a month now and everything you said is true. Thanks for helping people. I felt the same as you in 2020. 🤘🤘
It’s a constant battle and a long road. I’ve relapsed multiple times as well and have gone as long as a year and half without it.
Glad you’re fighting the battle and glad you have realized how good it can be without it. It’s a sad reality but a very true reality.
I am 18 . I was smoking about 2 times a week the past 4 month and the past weeks I have been experiencing CHS . When do the symptoms tone down ? Cause I have lost abt 45lbs cause I am just unable to eat and still have no apatite
@@ektoras_fl4943 took me about 4 to 6 weeks to get off chicken and rice soup, crackers and water. I was a very heavy smoker. Smoked about 1/2 ounce to 3/4 ounce a week at times and usually as bong hits and I also used concentrates occasionally as well. I have never stopped the want to smoke. I still think about it daily and have messed up multiple times. I will say this after a 1 year hiatus it took months of smoking again to have issues, but when they came back they were worse
Congratulations on your journey - Staying quit can only be done through Marijuana Anonymous - I experienced what you did after smoking heavily for 6 years. I relapsed many times too - only to discover that the CHS just got worse and worse. MA has helped immensely to STAY clean. I found my CHS cleared up nicely after 100 days clean. Juicing veggies and green tea helped immensely.
I started smoking at age 17 and I’m not 27. I got chs about 6 months ago. I quit smoking for about 10 days and went back to smoking. I was slowly getting sick again so I decided to quit for good. I even went to rehab and felt like I was the only one there for weed. I learned a lot about addiction and made some friends. I’m now 5 months sober and still think about how much I used to smoke. I do miss it from time to time, but over all I’m so much better off. That’s for reminding me why I continue to stay away from it despite the deep connection I formed with it all those years.
Capsaicin cream helps sooooooo much. I woke up every morning sick had to smoke and take a hot bath and hope I'd get passed that morning sickness sometimes It did sometimes I'd just spend two days puking . The cream killed the morning sickness but I have to put it on before bed to not wake up sick . I'm cutting back not smoking all day everyday and then ima quit. I feel cold turkey will just lead to failure for me and not cause everyone to hate me cause of the withdrawal thats making me snap at people cause I can't deal with stupid sober . So one step at a time
This 100% capsaicin cream made my symptoms manageable. No replacement for stopping smoking but it helps alot
I’m 11 months sober after smoking daily for 22 years. Luckily I didn’t have much trouble eating after my hyperemetic phase. I had some stomach issues in the following months but otherwise I was fine. Had withdrawal symptoms the first few weeks like heavy sweating and not being able to sleep through the night, always dreaming of smoking. Still I find myself wanting to smoke again, even after all this time. But then I remember the near-death experience I had almost a year ago and I’m scared to have to relive it, so that keeps me from taking up smoking again.
That’s insane. Good for you!
The withdrawal symptoms are epic at times and can be a crazy experience to go through.
Glad to hear you are still on track. A near death experience is no joke.
Thank you for sharing!
Thankyou for this sir, I've dealt with this, and it is the most horrible thing I've ever experienced.
you’re welcome. I want to help anyone possible.
I agree it is. How are you doing now with it?
@getbettertodayCHS good brother, just trying to stay focused and stay away from cannabis at all costs.
hey man, i never had the pukes, but i was phase 1 for quite a while now. another symptom allegedly, one i had, is muscle twitches, like even in the stomach region. i didn't have the phase 1 symptoms all the time necessarily, but probably like at least 4 days of the week and the other days i just might not really recognized it. i operated my life for years with like baseline nausea and shit. i recently managed to quit and my gut already feels better. been probably in phase 1 for like 5 years now. glad i found out about this before it got worse. the best side effect from quitting is i took up skateboarding again. i've been wanting to skate more the last few years before i am too old, almost wasted these years stoned and literally gutted at home. good luck to you staying off and staying healthy. peace
Awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing. It’s a tough battle. Good luck to you as well!
I've been dealing with this for years and until a week ago didn't know what it was. I thought that the weed was helping me. My symptoms have never been as bad as some have described but bad enough to want to change. My wife keeps saying that I will be able to smoke again after a break and to moderate usage but from what I've heard from you and many others is that is probably not the case. I haven't smoked since Friday it's now Monday. Saturday was a rough day and Sunday was better. Capsaicin cream has been a godsend I wish I would have known about this a long time ago. Thank you for sharing your experience. It is helpful to know I'm not alone or crazy anymore.
Some people can learn to use cannabis to where they don’t redevelop CHS and it’s symptoms. But that requires extreme discipline. Use every other weekend or so type of use again.
Stay the course! Sobriety is the only solution to CHS. I believe in you no doubt. I know how difficult it is
I first experienced CHS back in 2010, i was in denial for years. Even this last time, i fully knew what it was, and started smoking again, thinking i can regulate it. It never works, it cannot be ragulated, it will always return. Im on day 5 now of my recovery phase, and it is very difficult at this point. Your video helped immensely, i am hopeful that i can remain strong, and stay off the smoke. Thank you sir!
I believe in you. I know if I can do it anyone can. I was so weak minded.
Let me know if I can help in anyway! And you’re welcome.
@@getbettertodayCHS thanks again for the encouragement, I'm now on day 14, no smoke. Getting easier day by day.
@@joekerr5172 that’s bad ass! Good for you. Can’t wait to hear how you feel come day 30. Nice work! I know it’s not easy.
Thank you man, I don’t feel alone anymore, this condition is terrible
Have you been able to get better from it?
Tbh I’m taking in one day at a time man but This sucks so bad I’ve been smoking weed since I was 12 off and on I’ve been smoking weed now, I’m 21 now and never really felt the syndrome till I was 17 this syndrome messed up my life from something I enjoyed every day now, I am here in pain while my stomach literally feels like it’s eating itself and I keep having constant urges to throw up without nausea no warning at all, it’s terrible, definitely not worse then what I’ve been through but it definitely sucks immensely, I wouldn’t wish this upon anyone, I smoked last night and tbh im addicted to marijuana and looked up all kinds of foods not to eat with CHS, I wanted to prepare myself a meal before I got high maybe it’ll change how I feel in the morning, so I smoked a really juicy infused blunt, felt pretty good for a while then I just felt this pressure slowly creep up and I felt a really bloated feeling after, so I made sure I stayed hydrated, the next morning it was no different I felt like crap, extreme waves of nausea and anxiety, which only makes you feel worse, I have no other choice rn but to go cold turkey, I hope anyone feeling this syndrome can fight the feeling to want to get high, marijuana isn’t worth your life, stay safe out there everyone
@@isaiahgomez8749hope you are feeling better or on the way to giving up the THC. It’s a small tactic but I find it much easier to quit cold turkey if I actually have some left. This won’t work for everyone, but personally I find I am able to just abstain from using if I actually have some left. Where if I run out completely I end up panicking and “re-up” and get a big grip again and just end up repeating the process. You will save a lot of money quitting too!! I had to kinda stop chilling with people I was hanging with regularly (even as disconnected as hanging out on Xbox at the same time every day..) but they were all big smokers too. So hearing them all spark up and take burn breaks was keeping me stuck in the loop / routine somewhat .. so now I try to fill that time of day with something else, working out or playing soccer or drawing or reading…
Anyway- hope the rambling didn’t come off preachy just saying some things that have helped me steer clear. It’s a challenge for sure, but you can do it.
@@isaiahgomez8749 how are you doing now?
Any improvement at all?
@@getbettertodayCHS things went bad for me CHS for me turned into IBS -C still in and out of the hospital, just taking it one day at a time
Cheers, thanks for sharing your testimony on it. Pretty sure I had this brewing up something fierce recently… (as of last April or so…)
I wouldn’t throw up so much as uhh “the other direction” let’s say.. but still- some of the most miserable feeling I have ever had. At first I chalked it up to food poisoning, but I really don’t think so. Felt so drained and like I might seriously die (or pass out, on the verge of passing out from not being able to stop my body from “draining” nonstop for hours on end. Horrible affliction!! Once my body started to become numb all over (unable to even leave the bathroom..) I started to get nervous. I live alone too so it was very disconcerting. Didn’t know much about CHS during that first episode…
Went about 6 months before I finally decided I would take a break from smoking (for full disclosure started around 19- 38 now.. took breaks for a few years here and there but really started going ham on it with basically daily use around 31 years old..) I think edibles becoming more prevalent got me consuming too much high potency too often also..
Anyway after I hung it up after a bad flu / fever recently I had another horrible bout. Not on par with the first episode but very similar feeling (this second episode lasted about a day whereas the first huge one lasted nearly 5 days of being unable to eat much of anything, stuck in bed curled up or wandering to the bathroom, all day long...) Super drained. Pale. Cold sweats, numbness, nausea… it’s really hard to explain accurately without sounding “dramatic” to others that haven’t experienced it. I had a bad bout with Covid when it first popped up but it was nothing compared to the CHS symptoms. it’s one of the only times I’ve legitimately thought I might die from being unable to stop my body from expelling its contents non-stop. I’m bummed because I loved being stoned and zoned out on some things (gaming especially.. or up snowboarding…) but I’m trying to relearn how to love and enjoy those things without relying on the greenery to amp them up.
I haven’t had anything in about 34 days now but i know it’s gonna be a struggle to keep to it in the future, especially with so many friends that still partake… I wonder if I’ll be able to have any amount ever again, but- trying to just look at it as poison to my system and a cause of problems. Didn’t think I’d ever be saying that years ago to now…
Sorry for the very long comment, just sharing my own experience with this that others might read through and relate to..
Thank you for sharing. Good read.
I feel every word you said. Shit sucks.
But it’s reality and we have to deal with it the best we can.
The future will be extremely difficult as to staying away from it. I’ve had many relapses and gone through all of this so many different times it’s frustrating to think about. Been healthy get sick. Get healthy for a year then smoke and get sick. Never ending cycle. But YOU CAN DO IT. I believe in you. I don’t know why we suffer from CHS but all I know is we do. Someday we will found out why I hope. I truly do. I want to help anybody I can get the knowledge they need to make the decision to quit. It’s a very lonely battle to go through. Like you said, NOBODY understands unless they have been through it.
Thank you and Aloha 🤙🏽
Stay strong bro I feel terrible too
How are things going?
I’m going thru this right now, very helpful video
Here to help! Let me know if you need any advice or anything.
This sucks...... i have had this for 30 years, misdiagnosed for years, just NOW finding this CHS. I am TERRIFIED of the detox.😢
It’s a very hard thing to go through but ABSOLUTELY possible. And the other side of things is so so worth it!!
How can I help? What advice do you need?
Came from ER last night, second time cause by same issues... still trying to accept it, dropped my bong and still looking at it, still thinking about it... woke up annoyed and kinda pissed off thinking how come those people on instagram smoking 5 bowls back to back got nothing,so why me... it is just unfair, but your video just made me re think again, ever since last night I have thought of smoking but have not, just sucks..thank you for your words and I want to get to that point, and truly what makes me want it, is being able to eat a big meal, salad for a lil flavor and freshness, meat for that intense seasoning and juiciness, beans for that extra umpf for ya food, thinking of food and how great it is, is the only thought that lingers helping a bit minute by minute so far.. the thought of excusing my self just as you stated it annoys me, the fact that i have to eat oatmeal like an old man and drink things slowly and change my diet annoys me, but so does leaving weed behind... i might turn back to ciggarettes not the greatest choice either, just to quit weed but truly just scared and trying to cling onto any hope i can find though cigs being worst at least im not throwing up or feeling nauseated, so far sir, you have given me that bit of hope and confidence, i am not alone matter of fact id be more alone if not quitting it.
I felt like in the middle of reading that I had started slowly rapping it. I was feeling your words. It’s so true.
I feel the same anger towards the situation. I don’t understand it. But the only thing I do understand is that it’s slowly killing the ones that do suffer from CHS. The only way to get better is to stay off of it. I’ve tried all the ways to not have to quit but it never works. 100% sobriety is the only way for us unfortunately.
@@getbettertodayCHS appreciate for reading it and receiving my words as well as understanding and resonating with them. Not being alone it's a huge deal, ever since your video I have been a changed man. 420 community is so blind and I keep hearing " it don't happen to everyone " well... I used to say the same too, many did and look at all of us now, preaching what it seems to be a parents annoying rant that only when you smell the stink of the huge shit u did that finally it falls on the conscience, "it's too late, it's occurring to me too" and it will be too late, to continue smoking of course, not too late to quit. Again, thank you for your words!
I understand the point and severity having gone through CHS myself, although I don't feel that cold turkey quitting is a good idea.
I used to smoke a LOT (3-4g of distillate pods a week) and got extremely sick after quitting exactly as you have described. Since this experience, I took 3 months off smoking and went back to it (also like mentioned in the video) although I never went back to smoking the amount I have before and have not felt sick since. I have even taken a 2nd break off cannabis by just slowly lowering the amount I was smoking and felt no nausea.
Thanks for reaching out! I use to smoke that a week also actually more so I feel you. Such nonsense using that much. Can’t believe we did that. The amount of money wasted.
I have quit cold turkey 6 different times, and yes you get extremely sick like extremely. I’ve been in the ER over it. but you get through it and 4 weeks later I was completely healthy. Could eat anything anytime I want. Just back to normal human. I’ve smoked heavily for 12 years. I’m learning everyone is different but you WILL get better if you simply stop the use 100%. And it’s the best life you can ever imagine. I struggle with the addiction part horribly. So using every now and again is not an option for me. That’s why I relapse because I tell myself I will only use it on the weekends. I’ve tried discipline but I’ve come to the conclusion it’s easier to stay off. Wish me luck! But I’m glad to hear it works for you! I just want to help as many people as I can. I also know it only affects roughly 2/10 of users.
Im quitting today.i suffer some of this . Thanks for your knowledge regarding it👍
How are you doing now? I took so long to reply. It’s been 2 weeks for you I see? Are you still sober?
Thanks for this video it helped me a lot
I’m very glad to hear that!
I've been smoking pot for about 8 years now and I had no idea this even existed. I've taken breaks from pot throughout the years but always went back to it but this year I'm thinking of making a change. I haven't suffered from this CHS but everything I've been hearing about it is kinda scary so what I plan on doing is at least taking a tolerance break and seeing how my body reacts. I last smoked last night so from this day forward I'm going to make a change, hopefully a few weeks I won't feel the need to go back, it is an expensive hobby.
Hey Aaron, I'm glad you stumbled upon Gavins CHS videos!
It's good that it's getting noticed more and more.
Indeed, it is an expensive hobby. The good news is that you're stepping towards the right direction but making the first step to want to change your life!
The fact you want to change is huge, my guy! You should be very proud of yourself.
Please keep us updated on how your stress levels and your anxiety levels are.
Anxiety literally can manifest CHS episodes, so remember to keep the stress and anxiety at a low level as much as you can!

@kyletroutman-kman Thanks man I'm just gonna take it one day at a time. I'm not a heavy pot smoker like I'm not doing it all day every day I usually just have 1 or 2 j's to help me sleep but I feel it is still definitely affecting the way I am. Whenever I take a day off I can't sleep for shit but appetite is something I never lost even when I wasn't smoking weed and I haven't had any nausea either. Maybe I'm immune to this disease but we will soon see. I'll keep you guys posted how I'm getting on.
Hey Aaron,
How are you now?

37 days sober after a brief relapse. REALLY hoping the symptoms start to ease SOON.
I hope they do for you too!
Keep trying until it works! That’s the only way.
Wow! Crazy how many people are dealing with this! Not sure if I have cvs or chs… had an episode this morning and all of you guys helped me decided to stop thc. I want to get to the bottom of this. I have had the luck of having episodes on weekends or after work, only twice I had to miss work. Also, once I puke for about half an hour(empty whole stomach)and rest/sleep and don’t eat/drink for 5 or 6 hours, it resolves. Anyways, feels good to hear am not alone with random episodes of vomiting without any obvious causes. Day 1
Day 1 lets go! Give it a try for 30 days and see how you feel! It’s hard but you’re not alone! Stay the course! Let me know how I can help or any advice you need.
Man you’re lucky bc ive had the episodes during work they are horrible man and it’s annoying having to leave work early bc of it
@@getbettertodayCHS thanks for reply! Just came back from work and happy to say I have no desire to hit that pen! I am now getting nervous to eat specific food like blueberries and bee pollen because when I last ate them I got sick. I love food and I am determined to solve or rule out chs! Day 2 woohoo!
@@jeremiassaucedo4430 I know… reading all the stories makes me realized how lucky I am through this. I pray for all of us to find the strength to carry on with our mission of healing our body and mind. 💜🙏🏽
watching this as i just bought a cart
lemme finish this and i promise i’ll start my journey🙏🙏
Do you have CHS symptoms?
@@getbettertodayCHS i’ve been feelin sick a lot more i’m ngl
i been smoking for like 4 years now and on days i don’t smoke i do find it harder to eat and anxious asf
@@fogellmclovin4269 ya good catch! Kick this thing before it gets real bad. It’s no joke. Only certain people suffer from CHS but those who do, man it can get really bad.. definitely sounds like you are starting to develop symptoms.
Keep in touch on here and let me know how you’re doing once you quit! Sooner the better I can’t stress that enough! It can get so bad and put you in some dark places.
I have relapsed twice as well because I was weak. I’ve been to the ER for this a countless number of times. I quit smoking two days ago and I feel awful. I can’t eat but I am starving. Luckily I didn’t puke during this episode yet but the nausea is unbearable. Going through my daily life is so difficult. I feel alone. It’s hard to explain to people around me about cannabinoid hypermesis syndrome. Mainly friends. I cannot wait to eat again and feel normal again.
Keep pushing forward! You should be so proud of yourself for wanting to make the change. I promise you it gets better! Anything in this life that is worth something takes work.
Try soft foods. Foods that don’t have a harsh smell. Yogurt, fruit, granola. Just get small bites of food every hour. It’s key to retraining your body! Keep reaching out to me. I’m here with you.
Maddy Kattt, how are you doing? If you need anything please reach out. I am here for you! I am hoping you are still on track! I truly believe in you and I know it’s not easy to go through this alone. Feel free to keep reaching out and we can talk through this!
@@getbettertodayCHS I’m doing pretty well. My appetite is finally starting to return! My cravings are strong still. I try to remember the sickness it causes me to refrain from it. I believe I’ve been clean for two weeks now.
@@getbettertodayCHS thank you for checking up on me.
That is awesome. Great to hear your appetite is returning.
If you’re anything like me the cravings won’t ever stop. You just have to learn to be disciplined about it. For whatever reason our bodies weren’t meant for weed. And it’s just something we have to accept.
If you ever need anything, reach out. Having a rough day? Reach out. Once you have come this far theres no need to ever go back.
Stay well friend. You should be damn proud.
You're a good man.
I appreciate that. I just want to help
Thank you brother for your video. I've had about 5 episodes of this in 3 years, ironically the first time i suffered was on 420, i know right. I'm going on day 5, this is the first time it lasted more then a day. I really love tree, shit just went to a dispensary in Michigan and got alot and i can't even smoke it now. This does suck. Was there any thing other than hot showers that helped you when having an episode??
Glad you found the video!
Hope it helps. Shit does suck.
Hot showers are the number 1 thing that helps during a bad episode. Nothing else does it better that I have found.
This is the truth, please listen just got back from 3 ER visit in a month. Didnt know what was going on or weed could do this. CHS is the worst and easiest decision was to stop smoking. 3days sober and look to new beginnings and chapters. Thanks and this is no BS!!!!
Good for you. Glad you were able to recognize what you needed to do and did it. It’s now easy by any means and you’re strong for battling through this.
7 weeks clean after multiple ER visits, 2 hospitalizations & close to kidney failure. It's tough, but damn it's worth it!
Hang in there!
Starting my 5 day feeling good about this
I'd like to see a study of commonalities like the strains often involved, forms of canna being used, ferts used, any additives, etc. because you don't hear of this that much in cultures outside of certain "new" cultures of humanoids. Because I can assure you, people used quite a lot in the past with this not being seen. Native cultures seem to understand proper use of natural things. The modernoids of hip seem to only be happy when they overdo things. Dabs, etc
Thanks for making this man. I’m 25 and first time I got sick I was 16. Iv been sick multiple times now bro. I’m literally recovering from a episode now. I feel like I can’t be my normal self without weed. I wish I didn’t have this addiction.
I feel your pain on so many levels. Just know the only cure is sobriety of marijuana. It’s a tough concept to swallow but it’s reality sadly.
Hang in there man! I believe in you.
How are things going?
@@kyletroutman-kman going good! Starting to feel like myself again. And getting over that hump from quitting with emotions and being pissy all the time
I've been weed free for 7 days. Most physical symptoms are gone already besides extreme anxiety. I thought I was dying. That is not a joke. People need to know about this wolf in sheeps clothing. Every bit of encouragement helps.
just through with my first clean 24hours after 10years of daily abuse..thank you fot his video
I’m hoping the best for you! If I can do it, ANYONE can do it. Truly believe that. First 10 days are the hardest.
I’m dealing with it at this very moment.
It took 2 years to figure it out, just got diagnosed on Tuesday. Cat scans, MRI’s, gallbladder removal doctors visit G.I. visits. Unbelievable I will never ever smoke weed or do edibles again.
I’m happy you have made the decision to make the change! Let me know if I can help in anyway!
@@getbettertodayCHS
Uggg so hard, thank you so much. I keep going to my ashtray, what a force of habit. I guess it’s a lot in my head. How long does it take to break this habit? I don’t want it nor do I need it(I don’t think) I still cannot believe it was the weed allllll this time
@@niecieporsch932 the habit takes at least 60 days to break. I’m over 150 days sober and I still think about it often however I don’t crave it at all. If I smell it in the air I just think “oh that smells so good” and then carry on with my day
Consumed weed for 45 years.
Started getting massive fatigue it was scarey so i stopped and it took 2 weeks to go away.
Went back pounded my cannabutter again ,one night starting sweating like i never sweat before and massive fatigue again.
Stopped for 2 weeks went back and 1 night i started to get stomach pain and then i knew it was CHS.
Never threw up never even felt like throwing up.
I decided im done with weed
Stomach pain lasted around 35 days now im feeling better and better everyday.
I guess im lucky because no matter how much i love something if its hurting me physically i can just walk away and never look back
Was diagnosed with mild copd over 8 years ago smoked for 35 years tossed the ciggs away never looked back and have zero breathing problems now.
Use to smoke weed and the diagnoses of mild copd forced me into edibles cause i had no choice didn't want to hurt my lungs.
Anyway walking away from something you love is possible folks if you want a better life
Wish you all luck .
Thete are other things in life besides weed.
I'm currently 17 and 6 months clean off of weed. I've been feeling a little better but there's still times when I really wanna smoke weed. Any time i see someone smoking in movies, video games or even just people around me on real life. I get the urge to smoke but I try to tell myself that I'm doing myself a favor by not doing. Before i stopped smoking weed I used to hang out with my friends and we used to all smoke all the time and there my best friends. I felt I was only able to quit smoking weed by not hanging out with them and cutting them off. But it's been 6 months without them and I miss em so I started hanging with them. And I feel happy being with these people cause there the few people that are my actual best friends no body can compare to this group. And they understand my sickness and what I've been battering that's why they understood that's why I didn't talk to them for a couple months and even know if I try to smoke with them they won't give me weed or try to get me to smoke with them. But I feel myself relapsing because I love my friends and I love smoking weed with them. But I know I can't. And I know our friendship isn't all about smoking weed together but sometimes I feel sad and left out by not be able to just smoke up with them. And since I haven't been smoking with them then I just start to drink. So Idk what to do. I don't wanna cut off my friends again cause I fee like I have no one else so. And I don't wanna keep drinking cause it'd just gonna hurt me in the long run. So it seems my only solution to my problems are to stay sober but I like feeling intoxicated so Idk what to do.
I found the pain from chs, excruciating. Smoked weed since I was 13, I’m in my mid 40’s so a hell of a long time. Every time I stopped, I would have some fall into my hands at no cost. This last time I ended up flushing about an oz down the toilet. I’m glad I did. One day at a time, it can be done.
Wow that is a hell of a long time. Thank you for your story! You’re absolutely right, it can be done!
You could of sold it and buy food with the money just saying
Thank you Bro
The only problem I’ve had with CHS is I’ve become an alcoholic. I’ve attended AA meetings and everything but after the addiction of cannabis I just can’t let go of feeling better off of other substances. It’s so hard. I almost died from CHS and now I’m almost dying from alcoholism, no crazy stuff like liver damage but just the fact that I keep getting drunk on binges just to fall asleep. I had one good period for 8 months where I just went to the gym and dieted but honestly cannabis addiction is something else. I’ll never get over that whimsical high. The one time I felt better about my mood was when I took shrooms and that’s when I started going to the gym. I really wish I could start doing the gym thing again. Disclaimer I’m wasted right now and that’s why I’m venting. I love you all and I hope you guys can get over this speedbump in life because it’s horrible. I know you are watching this video because you’re suffering.
How are you doing now, my friend?
I feel the same I started smoking weed when I was 12 and continued for about 5 years I got sick over and over not believing that it was weed that was the root of the problem untill one day I went to the ER and they diagnosed me with CHS. Ever since I quit smoking weed about 6 months ago. I stopped hanging out with my buddy's that smoked with me all the time. But recently I started hanging out with them again and I feel like I want to smoke again. But instead I just drink. I've realized that I just love feeling high or drunk. And i know if I start smoking again then it's gonna just fuck me up again. That's why I've been resorting to drinking but I'm scared that I'm gonna become an alcoholic. I'm currently 17 and I feel your pain bro it's a struggle for us all. I feel like we need to learn why we resort to such things. Can it be that we don't have other things in life to make us happy ? Or can it be depression? Honestly I don't know anymore but I hope you and me get better brother.
"I really wish i could start doing the gym thing again" You always can my friend, it will be somewhat unconformable at first but If you managed to form a gym habit for 8 months, then you are able to go for a whole year. I believe in you
@@GiegueX Update, I did in fact start going to the gym again and I got an enjoyable job and I'm doing well again.
@@mikefire98 I'm glad to hear thst you pulled through the adversity of addiction. May I ask what motivated you to change your situation and take action?
54, smoked most my life. daily. Never had anything close to this. I have never heard of anyone with this!?! I'm not saying it is not real! Just saying I have not seen it or know anyone with it. Live your best! SO sorry if you are one of the people that suffer from this! Must truly suck!
It’s a horrible deal all around. Consider yourself very fortunate to not have to experience it! It’s estimated only 2/10 heavy marijuana users will suffer from symptoms of CHS.
Day 24 Gavin! Going strong.
I did some back track and I quit weed on the 8th of January!
I've gained 10lbs my guy!
Brother, that is kick ass! How do you feel? How’s your sleeping habits going? Are they improving? How’s your eating habits?
24 days. 24! And look at the difference just 24 days can make? Picture yourself at day 34 then 44, 54 and so on! You’re making big moves! Keep strong and carrying on!
You should be damn proud of yourself. I can’t wait for you to hit that 1 month mark!
You’re freaking doing it Kyle!

@@getbettertodayCHS man you definitely are one of the main reasons I'm still pushing through this.
My sleeping is getting a little better, I'm getting a full 6 hours as of the last 2 days.
Not having to take anything to help me get to the rem sleep, but when I fall asleep it's like being in a freaking movie lol! It's kinda exciting going to bed because of that reason.
My eating habits are great, I'm eating way more greens and veggies and fruits. Pineapple hits different when you're sober!
Overall I feel like a completely different person.
I really enjoy this cool ass version of myself, but I also need to be real with you....
The temptation are real, idk how long that will last tbh.
My girl does Eddie's but doesn't smoke. Maybe that's a factor but I don't want to tell her what she can or can not do.
She's respectful when it comes to this (she didn't believe me until the 3rd ER vist).
She hides them and that's really all I can ask for. 😌

@@kyletroutman-kman the addiction is REAL. But you CANNOT give in. You can’t do it! You have made it this far just imagine what your life will be like 30 days from now. 54 days into this imagine the endless possibilities that you will discover that you have been held back from because of CHS.
Do it for yourself! Your future self, do it for your girl man. She’s going to see a side of you she probably hasn’t ever been able to enjoy because of this illness. I don’t know your situation, but for me I know deep down my wife is so thankful. Because she gets to enjoy the me she has never been able to enjoy. The outings, the dinner dates. Stuff that CHS has had a hold on us that we get to enjoy now that we are healthy. There’s SO MUCH MORE to life.
Please watch the video I am posting right now. I think you’re ready for it man. I really do. It’s going to seem crazy, impossible, and even scary but it HAS TO BE DONE! It is a life changer to say the least. It sets the path to the ultimate goal. Let me know what you think of it. Please.
Stay well my friend! Keep kicking this things ass!

CHS really is the worst man.. the last time I got real sick before I finally gave in, I was so sick that my facial hair didn’t grow for almost 2 weeks.. I know how you feel man.
Brother I am almost 100 days sober now and so so healthy! I know how to kick this things ass. It’s the hardest thing I have ever been through. I want to help anybody I can.
I have also struggled 8 years with CHS, i tried to quit like 30-40 times... what keeps me going back is i got into a bad car accident 24 years ago at 17, i have a damaged nerve in my back, i have extreme back pain, when i quit i get exremely depressed & start drinking alcohol, i never drank or did any drugs before my accident, just a real f#@king hell, when im high it all just helps me to forget about the back pain as im in a mindless timeless world,,, trust me i would have loved to be sober & have no back pain
i’m 17 and RIGHT NOW i have CHS and this is my second time having it i had it about a year ago and that lasted almost 3 weeks and right now i’ve been off weed for about 3 days and still puking my guts out and hardley eating i used to weigh 220 i now weigh 150 this sickness ain’t no joke i e been smoking since i was 14 and a few days ago was the last i’ll ever do it
Kick this things ass!! You should be damn proud for wanting the change. Now just one day at a time. Stay sober for ONE MORE DAY everyday. I struggle with it everyday. I’m not perfect but I know what works and what it takes and I just want to help anybody I can!
Thanks for the help

I would always have the worst attacks from smoking dab carts and smoking actual wax, so I’ve stopped doing those, I’ve been hitting a one hitter with flower, and I’ve been feeling better since I’ve been doing this. But if I have another major attack I’m definitely going to stop. I’ve been to the ER like 5 times in the last 3 months
That is interesting information. I am learning this varies from person to person in severity.
Thanks for your input!
Keep me updated please. It could help a lot of people.

It’s horrible I have had it for over 4 years. I don’t wish this pain on nobody.
I agree with that!
Quitting is the only solution! It’s not what I wanted at all but I’m thankful I made the decision.
Just been diagnosed in the emergency department- two weeks clean and I still feel awful. Sleep is good and eating one meal a day. I can’t wait to get the thc out of my body
Hold strong! Stay the course! 30 days you should really start to see improvement in your health and eating habits.
You should be damn proud of yourself. I know how hard it is and what you’re going through mentally.
I’m in the ER right now waiting for my blood results. I’m one day sober. According to this video I’m in for a hell of a fucking ride #FML
If it’s truly CHS you have then yes you are out for a horrible ride. But the other side of things is so worth it to be healthy again! and all you have to do is stop the use 100%. Easy as that! I believe in you!
If you can control the mucus production you can speed up recovery.
Your body produces most mucus late at night early am, hence the word, hyper emesis, which means morning sickness.
The stomach fills up with mucus and with nothing in your stomach you can digest it nor can you process it though the liver. Your body than treats it as a posion and starts send nauseous signals to induce vomiting.
I found that if i wake up every 30min and eat as much fruit and bread as i can it will start help.
The reason, because the food binds with the mucus and you can process it.
Do not use capsaicin cream, as it burns like hell in the shower.
Believe it or not masterbaution will releve symptoms in some people for 30 min, enough to get a quick nap in before pukeing agian.
But the only thing that took all symptoms away was opiates, and dried out the mouth, so no mucus, and it calmed all the muscles in the stomach, so no quivering, and it blocks the THC receptors use at your own risk, but like me, I would’ve took anything to make the symptoms go away.
Good luck and stop smoking
Great information!!
3:09 I relate to this alot lol. I'm on my 2nd day of quitting and everytime I quit I let my self smoke only to sleep and eat but I have been smoking for so long that its not even helping either of those anymore. Ill take a dab and still cant eat/sleep so I might as well not smoke anyways
Yes you’re exactly right. That’s where I got to. Smoking wouldn’t even help anymore. You absolutely need to quit 100% and you will get better no doubt. You have to stay the course and stay sober no matter what. 25-30 days and you will start to get healthy.
I’m 80 days sober and healthy as I have ever been now.
Man It sux seeing this many people that had this hard of a time stopping. I smoked everyday all day for 20 years and would randomly get sick and pass it off as food poisoning, til it got so bad I was having puking episodes that would last 8-12 hours straight of drinking water so I wasn't dry heaving that was happening twice a week til I was 120lbs at 6'1" found out what it was finally (CHS) but I would be so sick I would look at my gun and think Fuck it but luckily I have 4 nephews and a Niece I kept thinking about how that would make them feel So if your at that point just push through it PLEASE I thought I couldn't do it but my strongest thing was Do I want to feel that bad again? no so it wasn't as hard for me to stop and I felt better with in a week (everyone will be different). Also I went a full year and 6 months off Weed and took 1 hit from a friends pipe and puked all night that was 2 years ago. But he is correct the only thing you can do is Stop Dont get to how far I took it I almost died from fucking weed......INSANE. Picture a 6'1" 30 year old man at 120lbs I was a walking skeleton and would randomly pass out from malnutrition. Glad you pushed through man and feel better I am like a new person made it to 160'lbs recently the healthiest I have ever felt.
My only thing I got to deal with now is random anxiety I never had my whole life I'm curious if you found you get anxious when going places sometimes? or anybody else that quit?
First, I want to say that I'm extremely happy you didn't take your life. You're a very mentally strong individual for pushing through those thoughts even while you're going through CHS, which makes everything else extra hard to deal with while you have that.
I personally believe that our brains are now wired to have anxiety doing 'normal' everyday tasks like going to the store or hanging around people.
For people like us, smoking weed was a 24/7 lifestyle, and we wouldn't want to do anything before we smoked.
I woke up, smoked.
Smoked while taking a shit.
Smoked before a shower.
Smoked before I ate ANYTHING.
Smoked while gaming.
Smoked before going anywhere.
Smoked before I went to bed.
Middle of the night, Smoke.
Smoked at work (pens mostly).
Smoked to and from work.
Smoked before parties.
Smoked at parties.
Smoked before funerals.
Smoked before sporting events.
So basically, I was weed itself.
A walking pot leaf.
The brain is the most powerful muscle in your body...
We have to rewire it like everything else, and go through life differently now.
Anxiety sucks.
Praying for you my friend 🙏🏼

Hey man, thank you for reaching out and telling your story. I, and I’m sure so many others will appreciate what you wrote and they will connect to it.
I personally felt every word you said. It takes you to some serious dark places it’s indescribable. Crazy what this thing can do and I think there’s thousands of people out there that are going through this and need to hear stories like yours. So thank you!
Your nephews and niece will thank you in the future.
I have struggled with anxiety very often before and much more so after. But I am learning everyday how to deal with that. I work on myself every damn day. Some days are good and some days are bad. And I think opening up to people is a great key to it. I also think having this community of fellow people who have gone through this to talk to really helps. Or I hope it’s going to help.
Again, thank you for sharing. Keep fighting and keep killing it everyday like it sounds like you are!
There’s so much more to this life! There’s many ways out there to replace the marijuana and keep yourself on track! Focus on something else that’s great for you and your health and become reliant on that instead!
You should be damn proud of yourself!

Hello. Recovering after stopping marijuana cold. Hang in there and use whatever strategy you can to stay sober. Everyone is different. But the reward is great. Once the widtdrawals start waning, you feel almost reborn i kid you not. Faith in godly beeing with prayers help me re-focus and become healthier. Eat at fixed times, even if you aint hungry. Your body needs fuel to funcrion. First days i ate, stawberry yougurt, chicken noodle soups, raw carrots, turnips. BLT sandwitches, plenty of clean good water 8 glasses a day. This helps flush your body. It takes discipline but your life is worth it. Im on my 3rd week totally sober. Please trust me on this, never ever use weed again.Thank you all and follow my lead.
I have not been diagnosed with this however ive felt all these symptoms before and it was pretty bad but i will say that for some reason limiting myself to once or twice per week literally fixed the issues and you also get way higher i highly recommended if you are able to to truly limit yourself and maybe it'll help like it did me
Thanks for your info! I’m sure that’ll definitely help other people! So thank you for that.
I personally have found a much better life being off of it completely. So I’m sticking to that route.
But again, thank you for your information!
For what it's worth I was smoking lots of concentrate for a good while and suffered quit for 2 months and started only smoking stuff I grow. I've been smoking daily for 2 years with no issues. There is also a pesticide that causes similar symptoms. Good luck!
Thankyou❤
i’m 16 and going through this it’s not fun at all this is the third time this has happened to me it’s not that easy to quit still having stomach problems
Put the herb down my friend.
It may sound weird but literally play these type of videos while you go to bed, it's motivation for me and I hope it'll motivate you too. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Just let your body heal, it's telling you to stop, you don't need this anymore. The grass is so much greener on the other side.
Absolutely what Kyle said. You have to stop immediately. The ONLY cure is to stop using. It’s the only way. I can’t express this enough. We are here for you while you go through this! Check in everyday. We can guide you through this. It doesn’t “seem” that easy but it’s the only way! Only way. Give it 15 days and I promise you you will start to see improvement and that’s going to be what keeps you pushing forward. Start TODAY my friend. Get everything out of the house so there is no temptation. Eat foods that don’t put off harsh smells. Yogurt, fruit, vegetables, salt crackers, trail mix, water water water. I 100% believe in you. It will be life changing for you. It starts TODAY. 15-20 days from today you will really start believing in yourself.
If you would prefer we can chat privately. Let me know!
Thank you sir
You’re welcome!
I’m 8 days into a chs attack and i feel like I’m dying. Still can’t hold water down. I went to the ER 3 days ago to get an IV but was sent home after about 2 hours. It takes sooooo much energy to get to the ER that I have not tried to go back yet. Vomiting 20+ times every day and can’t sleep. It’s pure torture.
Have you stopped the use of cannabis 100%?
The pain is horrible. It fucks with your mind so much. But I promise you WILL get better. You have to stay the course. You have to stay off and eliminate cannabis use 100% no exceptions.
Are you able to eat anything at all? And I mean even bites of things and hold it down?
@@getbettertodayCHS I have stopped using cannabis 100 percent and this pain is so bad I really don’t want to go back to it. I’m still throwing up. I had 2 bites of chicken noodle soup but couldn’t hold it down. I may be back in the ER today for more fluids
@@chrisrodoussakis something that really helped me is taking small sips of a cold protein drink. Gets the essentials into you. Try taking a sip every hour.
I’m a 14 year old girl and I’ve been smoking for three years and I was just diagnosed with it today after weeks of abdominal pain and waking up feeling sick even though I never threw up
I am sorry to hear about this. How are you doing?
