Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome, "Scromiting" Illness
A mysterious illness known as Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS), or "scromiting" (screaming and vomiting), is being reported in Canadian emergency rooms. The condition affects heavy cannabis users and is often only relieved by hot showers or capsicum cream. Some speculate the illness is linked to the high THC concentrations in modern cannabis products or potential poisoning of the supply.
