US Citizens Warned About Rare Cannabis Side Effect Known as ‘Scromiting’

Doctors and emergency medicine specialists have been reporting an increasing number of hospital visits linked to a condition known as Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome, or CHS. The disorder is associated with chronic or heavy cannabis use and is characterized by repeated episodes of severe nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort.

Although cannabis is often associated with anti-nausea effects in some medical contexts, CHS presents a paradoxical reaction in certain long-term users.
