Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome

This has been a hot topic online just recently; gathering a lot of responses from both sides of the fence (I've been spanking butts on Facebook over it lol.)

Thank you so much for sharing in your experiences with this!

Man I really didn't want to except the reality of it myself. It sucks. Im currently trying to figure out how to manage it and still consume. Small amounts have been ok but I honestly can't sit down and blow it down.
Im currently trying to just flush my system and detox completely, then see if I use moderation and not over saturate my system to see if that potentially helps.
Doctors are trying to say you have to fully quit, not entirely true in my situation.

I was honestly going hard probably consuming over 14 grams a day for a hot minute. My hypothesis is that i managed to get a toxic level of THC in my body.

Doctors still dont know anything about it however. Im 100% certain I have more information about it than any doctor.

From my experiences CBD rich cultivars with low THC dont seem to have any negative effects towards the CHS either but then again im not trying to smoke a ton of that every day.

I too was going through this. It started around the time i started dabbing. I would get sick a few times a year, and it was exactly as you described. Not able to hold down water or food. The only thing that took the sickness away was long hot showers. Then when i started to grow my own the symptoms went away. I genuinely thought my old was selling me sprayed weed. I don't dab that much anymore so maybe that has something to with it? It almost felt like opiate withdrawals. How often do you get sick Jean-O?

It wasn't very often at first but this last year has been rough getting sick sometimes a couple of times a month. Now that I have backed off a lot now I dont throw up but I get headaches and nautious. It will just feel like im about to faint.
I started to notice that after dabbing was when I was really getting sick n throwing up for a day or 2. I try to stay away from concentrates now

Kind of a bummer since I have a fridge full or tasty rosin.

How are you coping with the issues? Have you found any relief with lowering your intake?

 

[Jean-O]

Im really glad I started this thread. Hopefully us stoners can get to the bottom of this issue and figure out how to mitigate the problems or fully resolve them.
Doctors dont seem to know much or care about how to resolve this other than saying you need to fully quit.

Hello yes i have cut out day time smoking and only have a couple of smokes in the evening where as before i was smoking all day and night it has helped but not totaly gone away. Some strains make it worse if they are to strong i find but i find if i smoke less deff better feeling health wise

Would you all consider yourselves medical or recreational users?


I’ve had dealings with folks with this issue in the past. I can’t remember ever hearing of a heavy medical user ever having it. I’m wondering if there’s something going on with continual, extreme overloading of an otherwise healthy endocannabinoid system.

The symptoms listed are essentially the things that the endocannabinoid system regulates (which are mood, sleep, appetite, memory and pain).

Essentially, I think what I’m getting at, is that the chronic overloading of the cannabinoid system with exogenous cannabinoids… is causing a disregulation event.

That’s just a theory I’ve had for awhile. I have no clue if it’s even on the right path, or not. But it’s input, I suppose…
