!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Just commenting to second the allergy, even tho it may not be the issue here. I always had awful reactions over the ~15 years I tried it off and on. Terrible. Not like CHS at all. You're right, allergy (or something) is a thing. But probably not what OP has (not a doctor).
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not CHS. From what I've read, CHS is similar to overdosing, and is mostly associated with habitual users. The very first time I got stoned, decades ago, I spent the entire night in my car parked outside of a friend's house trying to not be violently ill. Since then, after legalization, I've gotten mildly stoned on edibles a couple of times to no ill effect, but the third time the nausea was back.
I've found no reference about it online. I've asked about it, online. I don't know of it's allergies in my case; if I mini-dose - amounts small enough that I can't notice any effect, but more than homeopathic doses - I'm fine. But as soon as I take enough to geta even a mild high, bang: nausea.
It's really frustrating, because I suffer from chronic lower back pain (thanks, Army!) and I'd even gotten a prescription (before it was recreationally legal in my state) in an attempt to achieve the pain relief associated with cannabis.
I've now chalked it up to a paradoxical effect. I suspect the anti-nause mechanism in THC is behaving differently in my biome and instead triggers nausea. Maybe that can be classified as an allergy? Although I expect if it were a traditional allergy, any amount would trigger nausea. And a little cannabis doesn't make me a little sick; it's either all or nothing.
My other theory is that it's zero-G sickness. When I get high, I get a head-spinning effect, and that sort of thing over a long term induces nausea in me.
I don't know what the fuck it is, but it's gods-damned annoying.
This might be silly to ask, but have you tried high CBD strains instead of "purely recreational" ones (which often have high THC and abysmally low CBD)?
CBD attenuates some effecs of THC. I very much doubt it would change the behaviour of THC completely for you, but there's still a lot we need to learn about cannabis so, I wouldn't say anything for certain.
That's a good idea. I can't say I've prayed much attention to the CBD content. Maybe I'll give that a try, although being nauseous for four hours is almost not worth experimenting with.
