A new report cites Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) findings that more frequent marijuana users are increasingly showing up for treatment of a condition marked by severe nausea and vomiting. The condition is known as cannabis hyperemesis syndrome (CHS). According to the report, CHS is associated with habitual marijuana use, and it can lead to repeated emergency department visits when symptoms flare. The sources describe CHS as an emerging pattern in emergency care, with patients experiencing intense bouts of nausea and vomiting significant enough to require medical attention.

The CDC report highlights the growing presence of this syndrome among frequent users in healthcare settings.
