Proving Cannabis
The news reports a new syndrome associtated with long term cannabis use:
The severe vomiting sickness, called "cannabinoid hyperemesis," was first recognized in Australia in 2004. Symptoms include nausea, stomach pain and severe vomiting. Sufferers report the only way to get some relief is from taking a hot bath or shower.
How unusual! Cannabis, which is prescribed to cancer patients for nausea and vomiting, causes the same symptoms it cures when used chronically. Unusual to anyone except a homeopath, to which it's an example of a homeopathic proving. Note the interesting modality, better from a hot bath.
