Abstract in brief

  • As cannabis legalization increases, the prevalence of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS), a condition characterized by recurrent vomiting linked to long-term cannabis use, is rising, but many healthcare providers are still unaware of how to recognize and treat it.
  • Symptoms of CHS include episodic nausea, abdominal pain, and relief from hot showers or baths, with symptoms often improving after stopping cannabis use for several months.
  • Effective treatments include inpatient use of benzodiazepines for acute symptoms and long-term management with medications like amitriptyline, which can be tapered once the patient is in remission; increased education on CHS is needed as cannabis becomes more widespread.]
