Teen’s cannabis-induced vomiting uncovers rare brain disorder

A 15-year-old developed a life-threatening brain condition, Wernicke encephalopathy, caused by thiamine deficiency from prolonged vomiting linked to cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome after cannabis use. He lost 25–30 pounds, showed cognitive and movement issues, and initial imaging missed the diagnosis. With IV and oral thiamine and cessation of cannabis, his symptoms improved within a day and he recovered; the case highlights rare neurological risks of CHS in teens and the potential for underdiagnosed thiamine deficiency.

CDC study links surge in hospital visits to cannabis hyperemesis syndrome with new coding

A CDC study finds a 16% rise in emergency department visits for cannabis hyperemesis syndrome after a dedicated diagnosis code was introduced, with nearly 200,000 visits from Jan 2023 through summer 2025. Increases were largest among 15–24-year-olds, teen girls and women, and among Black Americans and American Indian/Alaska Native groups, highlighting prior underdiagnosis and the need for more research on high-potency cannabis products and usage patterns.

NFL Kicker Brandon McManus Faces Multiple Allegations Including Drug Use and Sexual Assault

The lawsuit, involving former kicker Brandon McManus and two flight attendants, claims that players brought alcohol on board and that marijuana smoke was detected in the plane's restrooms. The NFL's strict policy against alcohol on team property or during travel, implemented in November 2022, puts the team at risk of penalties, which could include fines or loss of draft picks.

The Risks of Marijuana Use During Pregnancy Revealed by Study

A study conducted by researchers from the University of Utah Health has found that the use of cannabis during pregnancy, including medical marijuana, is linked to low birth weight and other poor outcomes for babies. The study, which involved over 9,000 pregnant women across the U.S., revealed that higher levels and ongoing use of cannabis during pregnancy increased the risk of adverse outcomes. The researchers suggest that cannabis may impede blood flow to the placenta, leading to these negative effects. Pregnant women are advised to consult with their doctors and consider safer alternatives before using medical marijuana.

Study: Marijuana Use During Pregnancy Tied to Lower Birth Weight

A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that marijuana use during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of low birth weight in babies. The study analyzed data from over 9,000 pregnant women and found that the risk of poor pregnancy outcomes, including low birth weight, rose by nearly 30% in those who used cannabis while pregnant. The researchers also noted a correlation between the amount of marijuana used and the level of risk to the baby. While the study has limitations, such as a lack of information about why women were using cannabis and when they were consuming it, the findings highlight the potential health risks associated with marijuana use during pregnancy.

"Travis Kelce Reveals Surprising Cannabis Usage Among NFL Players"

Kansas City Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce estimates that anywhere from 50 to 80 percent of NFL players currently use cannabis, taking advantage of the league's looser rules regarding marijuana. Under the current NFL rules, players are required to undergo just a single annual marijuana test at the start of training camp. Kelce's estimation aligns with previous claims made by other notable players, including Martellus Bennett and Ricky Williams, who have suggested high percentages of marijuana use among NFL players.
