Previously difficult to diagnose, CHS is characterized by severe nausea, uncontrollable vomiting (sometimes described as &#8220;scromiting,&#8221; or vomiting combined with painful screaming), abdominal pain, dehydration, and weight loss. In extreme cases,it can lead to serious complications such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/studies-suggest-drinking-2-3-cups-of-coffee-a-day-could-be-good-for-heart-health\/\" title=\"Studies Suggest Drinking 2-3 Cups of Coffee a Day Could Be Good for Heart Health\">heart rhythm problems<\/a>,seizures,kidney failure,and even death. The World Health Institution recently gave CHS an official diagnosis code, highlighting its growing importance.<\/p>\n<p>CHS has become more prevalent, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw increased cannabis use possibly influenced by isolation and depression. Another factor contributing to the rise in CHS cases is the significantly higher potency of modern cannabis, with THC concentrations reaching over 90%, compared to about 5% in the past. The only known cure for CHS is complete cessation of cannabis use,even though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/truckers-warn-federal-regulators-that-drug-testing-bottlenecks-are-leaving-many-unable-to-drive\/\" title=\"Truckers Warn Federal Regulators That Drug-Testing Bottlenecks Are Leaving Many Unable to Drive\">temporary relief<\/a> can sometimes be achieved through long,hot showers or baths-an effect scientists do not fully understand.<\/p>\n<p>the syndrome challenges the pro-cannabis position that marijuana is a safer alternative to alcohol, revealing serious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/oregon-governor-encourages-people-to-call-police-on-neighbors-violating-covid-orders\/\" title=\"Oregon Governor Encourages People To Call Police On Neighbors Violating COVID Orders\">health risks<\/a> associated with heavy, long-term cannabis consumption.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>One of the most common refrains you&rsquo;ll hear from the pro-cannabis lobby is that marijuana is simply safer and wreaks less havoc on the body than alcohol consumption.<\/p>\n<p>That lobby will often try to make that point about how much damage alcohol does to your kidney, and how alcohol can lead to a myriad of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >short-term side effects<\/a>, like hangovers and vomiting.<\/p>\n<p>About that: The pro-cannabis lobby may not be able to hang its hat on those points anymore.<\/p>\n<p>A mysterious and deadly vomiting disorder tied to chronic, daily cannabis use is now officially recognized, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2025\/11\/25\/cannabis-hyperemesis-syndrome-thc-symptoms-use\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Axios<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In October, the World Health Organization added an official diagnosis code, and formally named the condition &ldquo;cannabis hyperemesis syndrome.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\");
