Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) is defined by the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center as a condition that leads to repeated and severe bouts of vomiting. It is rare and only occurs in daily long-term users of marijuana.
Readers may have caught on to the fact that we prefer to give the straight scoop – the good and the bad. The fact is; too much of a good thing (cannabis in this case) is almost always bad.
CHS was only recently discovered, but it does seem to be limited to regular, heavy users of cannabis and cannabis concentrates. The condition can result in severe, uncontrolled nausea and may sometimes be preceded by periods of mild nausea. It also seems to be specific to THCTHC is the most famous cannabinoid and is psychoactive. TH..., but more research and clinical observation is needed.
We would also like to emphasize that the condition is rare, and from the reports we have seen it seems to be most likely for users who are not taking marijuana for medical reasons.
My Conjecture: I posit that this condition presents itself due to the bi-phasic effects of THC in particular. Isn’t it a wonder that THCTHC is the most famous cannabinoid and is psychoactive. TH... can help reduce nausea, but can also cause uncontrolled nausea? Thus, if you manage your tolerance and take only enough cannabis to address your symptoms – you’ll probably never have to worry about this affliction.
