In one more sign of Boeing's recovery, the 87th 787 Dreamliner delivery flight of 2025 is in progress. LATAM 9954 (787-9) is enroute from Charleston #CHS / #KCHS to Santiago #SCL / #SCEL. This may be the last 787 delivery of 2025, unless Boeing can deliver any on New Years Eve day. Though time is rapidly running out to count for 2025, it isn't impossible. 3 more 787s are ready to go, each having done a customer acceptance test flight. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/LAN9954/history/20251230/1710Z/KCHS/SCEL #aviation #travel #business #avgeek

David Krumholtz, CHS & The Real Conversation We Need
Filed Under: CHS, Cannabis Science, Media Narratives
Actor David Krumholtz, best known for his roles in iconic stoner films like Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, never thought he’d find himself on the receiving end of cannabis-related medical issues. But after years of heavy consumption, he was repeatedly hit with Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS). This rare debilitating condition left him hospitalized, suffering from extreme nausea, dehydration, and pain so unbearable he described it as worse than cancer surgery.
“Many have called me ‘weak,’ but man, I challenge anyone to deal with this pain on their own without being absolutely desperate for help.”
His experience is undeniably real. The suffering he endured is no joke. But the way his story has been framed in the media—and the backlash he has faced—reveals a bigger problem. CHS is poorly understood, and widely debated, and now, it’s being weaponized in the cannabis legalization fight.
CHS: Real, But Misunderstood
CHS remains one of the biggest medical mysteries in cannabis science. What causes it? Who is at risk? Why do some lifelong users never experience it, while others suffer through cycles of unimaginable pain? The medical community doesn’t have definitive answers. While research has identified patterns—mostly among long-term, heavy daily users—there’s no universally accepted explanation for why it happens.
“They TOLD me and thousands of others that this is CHS. Whether it is or not, my experience tells me that the only cure is to stop smoking. Worked every time.”
What’s clear is that CHS is not some widespread, lurking killer. The vast majority of cannabis users will never experience it. Yet, sensational headlines have made it seem like anyone who lights up is rolling the dice with their health.
Krumholtz’s Reality vs. Media Panic
When Krumholtz shared his story, he wasn’t trying to wage war against cannabis—he was simply trying to warn people who may be suffering in silence. Yet, instead of nuanced discussion, the media seized on the most dramatic angle: Former Stoner Actor Nearly Dies from Weed! Never mind that no one has ever died from a cannabis overdose—that wouldn’t generate clicks.
“People that loved and championed and relied on cannabis, just like you do… We are left with no answers and tremendous scrutiny. So much so, that ONE of us (me) shared our experience and received everything from basic ridicule to death threats.”
Krumholtz has since received everything from basic skepticism to outright death threats. Why? Because weed culture has been in a decades-long battle against misinformation. After years of fighting propaganda that claimed cannabis would make you psychotic, lazy, or violent, many consumers are instantly defensive when a new scare tactic appears.
The Real Danger: Fear-Mongering & Misinformation
The biggest risk of CHS isn’t just the condition itself—it’s how it’s being used to push fear-based narratives. Medical cannabis patients, veterans, and those with chronic pain rely on this plant. They don’t need another roadblock between them and their medicine. The moment CHS is turned into a political weapon, it becomes harder for people to access the relief they need.
“I love weed. It’s redundant at this point to even mention all the things I love about it, how important I think it is… I just think people need to be aware.”
Does CHS need more research? Absolutely. Does cannabis affect people differently? Of course. But fear shouldn’t replace facts.
The Bottom Line: More Science, Less Stigma
Krumholtz’s story deserves attention—not as a reason to fear cannabis, but as a call for more medical research. If CHS is affecting a growing number of users, we need science to figure out why, not media hysteria making weed sound like a hidden killer.
At the end of the day, cannabis isn’t for everyone—and that’s fine. But one person’s extreme reaction shouldn’t define the plant for millions. Responsible use, honest discussion, and deeper research will do far more good than sensational headlines ever could.
