Doctors are reporting a rise in a disturbing condition known as Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS), commonly nicknamed “scromiting” — a combination of screaming and vomiting.
The condition affects some long-term cannabis users and causes uncontrollable nausea, severe abdominal pain, and repeated vomiting that can last for hours or days. In extreme cases, patients scream from pain while vomiting continuously.
Ironically, cannabis is often used to treat nausea, which delays diagnosis. Many patients find temporary relief only from hot showers, a unique clue that helps doctors identify the syndrome.
Researchers believe chronic cannabis use may disrupt the body’s endocannabinoid system, particularly receptors involved in digestion and temperature regulation. The only proven long-term treatment is stopping cannabis use entirely.
As legalization spreads globally, medical experts stress the need for awareness: “natural” does not mean risk-free, especially with prolonged exposure.
