Interesting. Two points. a) with legalization will come extensive study of negatives. The reason there hasn't been much of that study yet is simply that the drug is illegal and it doesn't really pay to learn about it. b) I've known several dozen people who smoked that much over long periods of time and none of them encountered the nausea you talk about. It's very interesting that something so tangible could be a verified side effect of "overuse" of marijuana, given that most other short- and long-term effects tend to be on the mental side (like the paranoia you mentioned). Anyway, it doesn't sound like a particularly common result of smoking, and purely from a cost/benefit standpoint and meaning no possible offense, I'd rather a very small percentage of users have extreme nausea issues than a very large percentage of users have extreme incarceration issues. That said, very interesting perspective. I don't usually learn new things about cannabis. EDIT: Rick Perry?!
Yes it seems to be rare and I agree with you 100% about incarceration vs nausea. I can still smoke if I want to with no negative effects, so long as I avoid months of overindulgence. I am concerned about other risks affecting a small percentage of people that have yet to be found due to a smaller slice of users due to its legal status. I imagine such a study will come about when its legalization is considered on a federal level. They seem to allow studies of scheduled substances in some cases. For instance, the VA is studying MDMA as a treatment for PTSD. But conservative press could catch a whiff of cases like mine and run with them which could present a serious setback in federal legalization. It should be put out front ahead of time. Although, maybe it will just continue being unheard of.
