The article offers information on the new and unrecognized clinical syndrome cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) as of March 2015. Topics discussed include CHS's characterization by recurrent episodes of intractable nausea and vomiting in patients who have used cannabis daily for years, and their experience of incapacitating vomiting of 20 times per day that can last 24-28 hours. Also mentioned is CHS's often confusion with cyclic vomiting syndrome.
