CHS is real, but I believe you are blowing it a bit out of proportion.
IF YOU ARE UNDER 25, IT IS BEST TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS AND OTHER DRUGS IN A RECREATIONAL SENSE AS YOUR CEREBELLUM HAS NOT FULLY DEVELOPED AND IT COULD ALTER SOME DEVELOPMENT, SO PLEASE STAY SOBER IN SPITE OF PEER PRESSURE. That being said, there is Druvet syndrome, Krohns disease, other digestive diseases, some nerve conditions, and a variety of other things that cannabis may help eliminate or would be better for use as opposed to some form of opiate/prescription drug, so parents should weigh their options for their children, and adults can make their own mind up. I mention this because I will bring up my youth usage.
In my young years when it was still illegal in my area I rarely used, few times a month since it was all allowance based/side hustles. When I hit 18 I decided I wasn't going to be mixed up in illegal things and was stone cold sober except for caffeine. I didn't use again until after I was 32 during that time it became legal for medical in my area and when I ran into some issues I decided to look into it. I had watched some documentaries about the subject and out of all the shit I put through my system in my rebellious teen years it was the one thing that made me happy and hungry, my idols were all advocates for it and even though they talked about coke/meth/etc they never advocated for those, only weed.
I'm always a nighttime consumer, as I work during the day and never believe in working under the influence unless it's something I have to do at home on the computer. Even on the weekends I still just consume at night as I use for medical reasons, the recreational sides are just a benefit. After the first couple years of consuming I went from a few times a week to daily consumption. When I first encountered it, I thought I just "greened out" (weed hangover) or had a nasty cold. Would wake up groggy, headache. Still kept consuming. Couple days later no improvement. Then I woke up and felt pretty bad and after a few hours of being awake I threw up. After the second day of that happening, I decided I was going to quit consuming for a bit as I knew my tolerance was already very high and it wasn't helping me in the way that it should.
That's when I began to research and found out about CHS. I've never heard of it being permanent. Joe Rogan claims a friend of his ate an edible and was never the same. These things may be true, but I've never seen any studies that show that. I know it's illegal in America and nearly impossible to study due to its schedule 1 status, but Israel is at the forefront of cannabis studies and trials. I don't recall ever reading about any deaths, most of the reports I read just involved going in for hospitalization for the vomiting which causes dehydration. If I'm vomiting for more than 3 days in a row it's time for me to go see a doctor as I've never had a flu or food poisoning that has lasted that long and figure it's something bad.
As a daily medical user for many years, I'll usually do a couple of weeks tolerance break every 4-5 months. I'll take vacation at the same time. As my tolerance resets my edible tolerance will go from ~60mg back down to ~20mg, then it gradually builds back up, that's when I decide it's time for a break again. Tolerance varies person to person. This break saves me money because I'm consuming less, also stops me from experiencing CHS, which sneaks up and gradually gets worse. I'm not one of those sorts that takes weed everywhere, it goes from dispensary to my home to my body.
I believe federal legalization will help on the diagnosis and educational front. People are still afraid to talk to corporate/gov/doctors about their weed consumption because of the legal stigma. If deaths do actually happen, I suspect this is the main culprit. Ignorance and bashfulness about being open with doctors.
My favorite weedtuber Josh/Straincentral covered the topic as well as a few others in the weedtube arena. Youtube then banned a whole lot of them, but restored some of them including Straincentral. So another reason BigTech is asshoe.
I know people are skeptical. But it is permanent. Not right away or one hit after detox, but you will get it way easier once you go through the symptoms. I tried it multiple times, and like clockwork, it would come back within a week or so if I continued to use.
You can look at the subreddit and search around. Many people have gone through it, went back to weed, and got it again and again.
Not enough research on it yet, but I bet it will be researched soon because a lot of people are getting it. Not as common as cancer, but it does need to be mainstream.
I just put this here for awareness in case it might help someone. Obviously it isn't glaringly common, but it does happen regularly. Especially in legalized states.
