Regular cannabis users have shared their experiences with a new side effect that has led to some smokers having to visit hospital.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some 17 percent of\u00a0Americans<\/a>\u00a0said they had smoked a joint as of 2023, with the\u00a0drug<\/a>\u00a0now being legal in 24 states, including the likes of Ohio and Minnesota, which more recently made it legal for recreational use.<\/p>\n

And while health benefits of taking cannabis have been detailed,\u00a0scientists<\/a>\u00a0have been looking into the impact chronic cannabis users are facing.<\/p>\n

Chronic cannabis use refers to regular use over months or years, and is often defined as daily or near-daily use, according to\u00a0health<\/a>\u00a0experts.<\/p>\n

In recent times, emergency services have treated patients with abdominal pain and severe or prolonged vomiting, with experts finding the common trait amongst them being they are chronic cannabis users.<\/p>\n

The condition is known as\u00a0cannabis hyperemesis syndrome (CHS)<\/a>, a disorder that triggers unpleasant symptoms such as nausea and abdominal pain.<\/p>\n

It’s informally known as ‘scromiting’ – screaming and vomiting at the same time. Lovely.<\/p>\n

UW Medicine explains how the gut condition usually occurs within 24 hours of the most recent use and can last for days.<\/p>\n

While symptoms can last a period of 48 hours, some suffers have reported puking up to 30 times a day.<\/p>\n

Experts are still unaware of what causes CHS, but one of the main theories ‘is that it may happen due to long-term overstimulation of receptors in your endocannabinoid system (ECS)’,\u00a0according to<\/a>\u00a0Cleveland Clinic.<\/p>\n

Those who have experienced the syndrome have taken to\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0to document their experience, and it’s fair to say the vast majority became rather unwell.<\/p>\n

“This s**** wild, it\u2019s some of the worst physical pain I\u2019ve ever experienced in my life, and I birthed him, a 9-pound baby,\u201d said one\u00a0TikTok<\/a>\u00a0user.<\/p>\n

Another added: “I almost died from it, I couldn\u2019t eat or drink for a week. I was throwing up 24\/7. I threw up at first, and I continued to smoke, threw up again, continued to smoke.”<\/p>\n

And another TikToker revealed she’s been sober for six months after becoming extremely unwell.<\/p>\n

“Smoking nearly killed me,” she said. “The only thing to stop the reoccurring sickness is you have to stop smoking.”<\/p>\n

The World Health Organization\u2019s International Classification of Diseases has since listed CHS as a condition on its website, which should allow experts to carefully monitor cases and see how regular cannabis use can impact the human body.<\/p>\n

Beatriz Carlini, a research associate professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine,\u00a0said<\/a>: “It helps us count and monitor these cases. In studying addiction and other public health concerns, we have three sources of data: what clinicians tell us, what people in the communities tell us, and what health records tell us.<\/p>\n

“A new code for cannabis hyperemesis syndrome will supply important hard evidence on cannabis-adverse events, which physicians tell us is a growing problem.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
