What is 'scromiting'? These are symptoms of condition linked to frequent marijuana use
Key Points:
- Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS), also known as "scromiting," is a rare but increasingly reported condition linked to frequent marijuana use, characterized by severe stomach pain, nausea, and prolonged vomiting.
- Emergency rooms are seeing more chronic marijuana users, often teenagers, presenting with these symptoms, with many patients returning repeatedly and undergoing extensive testing to exclude other serious conditions.
- The exact triggers for CHS are unknown, and there is no clear guideline on the amount or frequency of cannabis use needed for symptoms to develop.
- Some doctors suggest that the rising THC levels in modern cannabis products, which are up to four times higher than in the past, may be contributing to the increase in CHS cases.
