David Krumholtz Warns of Health Risks from High-Potency Marijuana

The actor reveals his near-death experiences with a rare condition linked to daily cannabis use and calls for greater public awareness.

David Krumholtz, known for roles in 'The Santa Clause' and 'Oppenheimer,' shared that he developed cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) after resuming daily marijuana use.
CHS, a rare but increasingly diagnosed condition, causes severe nausea and vomiting in long-term cannabis users, which Krumholtz says nearly killed him on multiple occasions.
The actor attributes the rise in CHS cases to the growing potency of marijuana, which he believes has made the drug more addictive and harmful.
Krumholtz advocates for cannabis retailers to provide informational pamphlets warning about CHS symptoms, emphasizing the need to stop use immediately if symptoms arise.
Having quit marijuana, Krumholtz hopes to raise awareness about the potential dangers of the drug, challenging its perception as entirely safe.
