Abstract

How frequently do people who use cannabis daily experience symptoms of Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS)? In this nationally representative survey, 17.8% of those with daily cannabis use reported CHS-like symptoms (severe nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain), which translates to over 7 million US adults. Those reporting CHS symptoms were younger, more likely to be female and non-White race, lower income, less educated, and endorsed more cannabis use problems relative to those who used cannabis daily and those who used less frequently.
