"Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) is a condition that leads to repeated and severe bouts of vomiting. It is rare and only occurs in daily long-term users of marijuana. "
That is what Cedars-Sinai Research are saying.
And it is not rare as they say it is. Some ten people in my old Baltimore neighborhood came down with it.
And it has affecting someone I know ... daily for 3 years continuous.
Coupled with the how strong the marijuana addiction has been, it is egregious to see how these human beings would check themselves into ER almost weekly; a constructive feedback mechanism is sorely missing within their pre-frontal cortex part of their brain.
While hard to quit, a super long hot shower is often the soothing mechanism to recover from extreme abdominal muscular strains after having worshipped the pearly-white porcelain gods; yet, this relief remains but a platitude.
It was such a sad feeling to watch them cycle this addiction, over and over ... and over.
Rare? ha.
