🤢 Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS): A Serious Consequence of Heavy Cannabis Use

Clinicians are increasingly recognizing Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) as a serious, often overlooked effect of long-term, heavy cannabis use. People with CHS experience recurrent cycles of intense nausea, uncontrollable vomiting, and abdominal pain—episodes that can last for days and frequently lead to emergency room visits.

One of the most distinctive signs of CHS is compulsive hot bathing. Many patients find that extremely hot showers or baths temporarily relieve their symptoms, sometimes spending hours a day in hot water. This unusual behavior is a key diagnostic clue—but CHS is often missed because cannabis is widely thought to reduce nausea, not cause it.

CHS typically develops after years of frequent cannabis use and may go undiagnosed for long periods. As cannabis products grow more potent and accessible, healthcare providers are seeing cases more often and urging increased awareness among both users and clinicians.

Crucially, there is only one proven treatment: stopping cannabis use completely. Once cannabis is discontinued, symptoms usually resolve within weeks and rarely return unless heavy use resumes. Doctors emphasize that recurrent vomiting in chronic cannabis users should never be dismissed as a simple stomach bug—it’s a medical warning sign.

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.

Stress Levels Predict Cannabis Use

New research in rodents shows that chronic stress may strongly influence motivation to use cannabis.

When rats were given the option to self-administer cannabis v***r, those with naturally higher stress hormone levels were far more likely to repeatedly seek it out.

Cognitive traits also mattered: animals with lower cognitive flexibility showed stronger drug-seeking behavior.

The study additionally linked lower endocannabinoid levels to higher cannabis use, hinting that some individuals may be biologically predisposed to supplement their internal signaling with THC.

These findings shed light on why stress remains one of the most common motives for cannabis use and may help guide early screening for problematic patterns.

Clinicians now recognize Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome as a rare but serious complication of long term heavy cannabis use. People with this condition develop cycles of intense nausea vomiting and abdominal pain that can last for days. Many patients discover that very hot showers or baths temporarily ease their symptoms so they begin to bathe compulsively sometimes for hours each day. The syndrome typically appears after years of frequent use and often goes undiagnosed because many people and even some doctors are unaware that cannabis can cause vomiting rather than relieve it.
The only reliable treatment is to stop cannabis entirely. Once patients quit their symptoms usually fade over weeks and do not return unless they start heavy use again. With cannabis products becoming more potent and more widely available doctors are warning both users and clinicians to watch for this pattern and to treat it as a medical red flag rather than a mystery stomach bug.
