Cases of ‘scromiting’ condition tied to cannabis use spike among teens, young adults: New study
(NEXSTAR) — The condition known to cause “scromiting” among some marijuana users has become more prevalent in the U.S., a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows, though the trend among a specific age group may contradict previous understandings of the syndrome. Cannabis (or cannabinoid) hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) is as serious as it sounds.

(NEXSTAR) — The condition known to cause “scromiting” among some marijuana users has become more prevalent in the U.S., a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows, though the trend among a specific age group may contradict previous understandings of the syndrome. Cannabis (or cannabinoid) hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) is as serious as it sounds.
The condition, which can cause excessive vomiting with recurring bouts of severe stomach pain and nausea, was first detected in Australia two decades ago. Some have referred to a combination of CHS symptoms – screaming, due to the intense pain, and vomiting – as “scromiting.” Hot showers and baths are often described as the only way to mitigate the discomfort. In rare cases, the condition has resulted in death, health officials said.
