Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS), once thought to be rare, is now being seen almost daily. The exact mechanism for the causation of symptoms is unclear, but thought to be due to the endocannabinoid receptors in the GI tract. Most commonly affected are the heavy users (those that smoke 20 or more times/month).2,3 CHS has been seen with primarily THC, but there are reports of CHS with CBD. Young people, typically between the age of 18–40 are presenting with frequent bouts of acute nausea, vomiting, and moderate to severe abdominal cramping.9 Patients present with the combination of screaming and loud vomiting, which has led to the term “scromiting”.
