Epidemiology
Why is this section basically a statement of the illicit nature of cannabis, consumption rates, seizure rates and so on? I would presume that information should be in the main cannabis article, not here in a medical article (other than perhaps to make MDs aware that the incidence could be rising). Very soap-boxy, whatever the Wikipedia term for that is... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.61.154.32 (talk) 23:06, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
Seizures?
"Half of all drug seizures worldwide are cannabis seizures.[5]" 1. If this were true, half of California would be on Topamax. 2. Not relevant to stomach aches from cannabis at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.171.210.196 (talk) 21:09, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
1992 to 2002 ER visits statistics
The article currently reads, "It is evident to see such an enormous increase in the number of emergency room visits increase the health care costs". Not only does this sentence not really make sense ("it is evident to see an increase increase the costs"), but the "enormous" increase is not 23%. The US population increased from 255 million to 290 million between 1992 and 2002. The figures of 90 and 110.2 million ER visits in those years are, in comparison to the total population of the time, 35.29% and 37.93% respectively. Therefore, adjusted for population growth, the number of visits only increased by 1.6%. Clamalam (talk) 14:29, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
Synthetic Marijuana
It should be noted that smoking synthetic marijuana would have a much higher chance of resulting in Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome, due it's much stronger affects on the cannabinoid receptors in the brain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.149.102.89 (talk) 18:35, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome vs Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome
I removed the most recent paragraph about CHS being just relabeled CVS "controversy" because the section made assumptions not supported in the reference article. I think the reference provides some useful information, but it mainly says that there isn't enough information to support any association (related or not-related) because the available literature is of poor quality. Here is the article FYI: http://www.azdhs.gov/medicalmarijuana/documents/debilitating/cyclic-vomiting-syndrome.pdf MartinezMD (talk) 03:31, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
