Scromiting
More brand new made up words for the 21st Century. (Don't dismiss it. After all, and inferior affirmative action hire has now been transformed to a DEI hire, as in Didn't Earn It.)
The word "scromiting" means screaming and vomiting and is a symptom of smoking pot.

A condition called "scromiting" — a combination of screaming and vomiting — is increasingly sending habitual marijuana users to emergency rooms nationwide.
The medical name for this condition is Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome. Patients, including teenagers, arrive at hospitals with severe stomach pain and uncontrollable vomiting episodes.
In a peculiar attempt at self-treatment, patients often take scalding hot showers to find relief from their symptoms.

Emergency room visits for teens with this condition increased more than 10-fold between 2016 and 2023, highlighting the growing prevalence of Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome.
What's the deal with marijuana? Well, since the last debate in the last century, there are several states (Florida being one) that offers medical marijuana for pain control. Doctors hand out those scrips like it's Halloween candy. Florida in the last election had recreational marijuana on the referendum list. (Interestingly enough, Florida resident PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP (THE MOST CENTRIST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY) voted FOR it. This same CENTRIST president has been working to get cannabis taken down from the Schedule One list.
In Florida, cannabis (hemp) plants are legal, so long as they do not contain THC, (the psychoactive ingredient in pot.) And at the same time, there are wine stores selling a soda containing THC. A liquid joint in a can.
Where do I stand on all this? It's pretty simple.
I believe you have to be dumber than a dead ox to use your fragile lungs as a delivery for a high, would would include pot, smoking crack and smoking tobacco. I don't want to be around marijuana smoke (probably the same reason as I don't want to be around the inside of a septic tank.) It is a noxious smell.
Several states passed laws prohibiting smoking in public places and restaurants. As a kid, I lived in a tobacco world, where we'd go out to dinner and idiots all around us were lighting up those cancer sticks. It's nice that today one doesn't have to put up with that pollution.
And now there's a brand new symptom associated with the idiots who use their lungs as a delivery device for a high. Scromiting.
Still, I have no problem with taking marijuana off the Schedule 1 list, so long as the public smoking prohibitions are in place.
