Cannabis science finds relief options, but flags long-term risks

Recent cannabis research shows a mixed picture: safer, longer-lasting pain relief can come from tinctures, edibles, capsules, topical products, and even suppositories, offering advantages over smoking; however, long-term heavy use may trigger cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome and is linked to higher risks of heart disease and stroke. Experts note most cannabis is still smoked, underscoring the need for more research and awareness of alternative methods.

Heavy cannabis use linked to a cycle of vomiting that's often misdiagnosed

Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) is a cannabis-related condition in frequent users that causes recurrent abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting and is often misdiagnosed because tests are usually normal; diagnosis is clinical and management centers on stopping cannabis, IV fluids, and antiemetics, with some patients finding relief from hot showers or capsaicin cream, reflecting rising clinician awareness as ER visits for CHS increase.

Rise in Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome Sparks Health Concerns

The incidence of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS), a condition causing severe vomiting and abdominal pain due to marijuana use, has doubled since 2017, affecting an estimated 2.75 million Americans annually. The rise is attributed to increased marijuana potency and availability. CHS can lead to life-threatening dehydration and other complications, with frequent users, especially those starting before age 16, at higher risk. Treatment involves anti-nausea medication and rehydration, and cessation of marijuana use is advised to prevent recurrence.

Increase in Rare Health Disorder Linked to Cannabis Use

Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS), a condition characterized by nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, is increasingly affecting cannabis users, with emergency visits doubling in the U.S. and Canada from 2017 to 2021. The rise is linked to increased cannabis potency and accessibility due to legalization. CHS primarily affects heavy, long-term users and is thought to involve the endocannabinoid system and stress response. Diagnosis requires cannabis cessation, which can be challenging due to withdrawal symptoms. Treatment includes hydration, anti-nausea medications, and potentially quitting cannabis.
