For many, it begins as casual or medical cannabis use — a way to sleep, relax, or ease pain.
Then, without warning, the body turns against them: waves of nausea, violent vomiting, searing abdominal pain.
They cycle through hospitals, tests, and scans that show nothing,
while bills pile up and doctors puzzle over symptoms that don’t respond to standard drugs.
Only when someone connects the dots to Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome does a brutal truth surface:
the very substance they trusted is now making them desperately ill.
Relief, for most, comes down to a single impossible-sounding prescription: stop using cannabis completely.
Some manage it and slowly reclaim their lives; others relapse, convinced “this time will be different,” only to end up back under fluorescent ER lights.
As CHS gains official recognition and cases surge, one message is becoming painfully clear: awareness isn’t optional anymore — it’s the only real protection.
