Hi @anncgrl
I'm 33 almost 34, and have used Marijuana daily since age 12. I have had stomach problems since I was a 2 y/o. I have been in and out of hospitals several times with serious issues relating to my stomach, almost dying 3 times. Well I remember when I was really little they diagnosed me with a nervous stomach, and that made me angry cause I thought surely the severity of such symptoms was more than nerves. But at 31, when I got sober from a long standing substance abuse problem, I was facing the same thing but this time was so much worse. And I got diagnosed with chs, and what was doing it was the high thc contents and the easily available garbage they sell in gas stations now and they don't care if your 8 y/o as long as they get money. It is 100% the shit these smoke shops are pushing. It was also gummies that did it to me. I had never been so ill. But after quitting and getting all that crap out, I also found out I have chrons and thc does help with that. But I use a legal medical dispensary now, not some gas station crap. My point of that was that I smoked my entire teenage years into adulthood, and these problems never became such an issue until they started legally marketing Cannabis everywhere. The kids today face a lot, easier accessibility and medical complications. Because of the crap sold in gas stations, they had heroin on the shelf in gas stations for crying out loud, called 7OH.

Oh gosh, Ann. I'm just catching up on this discussion. How worrisome for you. The content of THC in edibles can be very hard to gage. It sounds like Micah might benefit from some counselling. Poor kid to be dealing with tension between parents along with all the stresses of being a teen these days. Is he continuing to use edibles?
