CHS Syndrome stands for Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by chronic, frequent and projectile vomiting, associated with frequent marijuana use.  Of course, not everyone suffers from this syndrome, but those who are suffering, the symptoms can be severe.  Some chronic cannabis users report these symptoms: vomiting, nausea, and stomach pain/cramping. Those suffering from this syndrome say their only relief, albeit temporary, is from a warm bath or shower.

During my teaching and traveling, I have had class attendees (who are now in recovery) or who had a loved one suffering from CHS, share these personal accounts:

Frequent and daily/cyclic vomiting

Weight loss

Withdrawals

Irritability

Diarrhea

Multiple baths and showers a day

Galloway's presentation also included helpful tips that educators can use to identify individuals who are abusing drugs.
