## Resource

What happens when the very plant celebrated for curing nausea becomes the exact thing causing severe, uncontrollable vomiting? In this episode, I sit down with Pediatric Emergency Pharmacist, University Professor, and Cannabis Science Expert Dr. Codi Peterson to dissect his groundbreaking, landmark survey of over 1,100 patients suffering from Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS)—the largest study of its kind to date. Dr. Peterson shares the hard data from his newly published research to move past internet rumors and tackle the science of CHS head-on. Together, they explore why the common industry theory blaming "neem oil" or "pesticides" fails basic toxicological standards, how different consumption methods (like vaping versus smoking flower) drastically alter the timeline of symptom onset, and why women experience statistically longer, more severe vomiting episodes than men. Whether you are a cultivator, a healthcare professional, or a daily consumer, this episode offers an essential, evidence-based perspective on the limits of high-THC consumption and the path toward true harm reduction.
