Cannabis hyperemesis syndrome is real, but the latest “scromiting” panic outruns the CDC data behind it. Pot Culture Magazine examines a new CHS diagnosis code, 199,565 emergency visits, a combined 15-to-24 age group, and the difference between a documented medical burden and an alarmist headline that turns hospital records into a teen weed emergency.
In Cannabis Lies Vol. 23, federal agencies turn an eight-point IQ finding into a sweeping warning about adolescent cannabis use. The number came from only 23 persistent adolescent-onset users in a New Zealand cohort. PCM returns to the original research, follows the claim into American policy, and exposes how scientific nuance became drug-war propaganda.
Summer heat can wreck an outdoor cannabis session fast. Pot Culture Magazine explains how heat affects the body, flower, pre-rolls, vape carts, concentrates, edibles, drinks, and decision-making, with practical tips for staying cool, protecting the stash, avoiding hot cars, reading heat warning signs, and knowing when the session needs to stop.
What is a COA in cannabis? A Certificate of Analysis can help buyers check potency, batch numbers, lab results, QR codes, and contaminant screens, but it is not a magic shield. Here is what a cannabis COA can prove, what it cannot, and when a lab report is just shelf decoration.
Lab-tested cannabis sounds clean until recalls, weak state rules, bad lab reporting, and inflated THC numbers expose the limits behind the sticker. Cannabis Lies Vol. 15 breaks down why legal testing still matters, why regulation beats blind-market guessing, and why no cannabis COA should be treated like proof that every risk disappeared.

The result is a culture trained to chase one percentage while ignoring cure, freshness, balance, testing integrity, and the person consuming the plant.
