Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome: Marijuana-Linked Condition on the Rise
Last Updated: Thursday July 18, 2024
(Live Now Fox) As marijuana use becomes more prevalent, a severe illness linked to frequent cannabis use is also on the rise.
Cannabinoid (or Cannabis) hyperemesis syndrome, also known as CHS, is an often debilitating condition that affects a small but growing number of chronic marijuana users.
People with CHS experience severe nausea and vomiting, in some cases 20-24 times a day. It can last days or even weeks and is hard to control – often the only thing that brings relief is a hot shower or bath.
