Across the country, physicians are seeing more people with marijuana addiction, psychosis including delusions or paranoia, schizophrenia, and a serious syndrome involving severe vomiting as more people use the drug, The New York Times found. The outlet examined medical records, insurance data, and spoke to hundreds of doctors and marijuana users.

Emergency rooms are seeing more people present with cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, a condition involving “severe vomiting,” nausea, and pain caused by heavy marijuana consumption. The condition can cause extreme dehydration, seizures, kidney failure, cardiac arrest, and even death. At least eight people have died in the U.S. from the condition, the Times reported.

One Maine pediatrician said she sees teenagers who use marijuana almost all day, every day, “a remarkably scary amount,” and are dependent on it. …

Some research suggests that about six million people who use the drug almost daily could have symptoms of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. …

I live in a two-story condo. My neighbor upstairs smokes marijuana on her patio upstairs. The sweet smell of the MJ drifts down to my patio & the neighborhood. My neighbor has no ambition. Her brain seems “fried”. Her lifestyle is unsavory. The police are here quite often to settle issues she creates. God loves her because she is made in his image. I don’t know if she will ever “hit bottom” & desire to live up to her potential. A prayer for Brook: “Father, my experience with MJ is real life experience with a neighbor who just wants to live stoned. I pray that she will hit bottom hard & be forced to live clean & sober. I would love for her to be a human being who would make her twin daughters proud. A prayer for Brook: “Holy Spiritt could U give Brook a reason to want to be an asset to this neighborhood? I will ‘let go & let God’ as I am powerless over Brook’s addiction. I pray this in Jesus name. Amen.”
