I would say that the cannabis industry is failing its customers by not letting them know about the downsides.
Imagine using cannabis to relieve nausea, only to find it causing severe vomiting instead. This episode of 'Ask A Psychiatrist' dives into the perplexing condition known as Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS). Dr. Erik Messamore and co-host Melissa Xenophontos break down this mysterious illness that can affect regular cannabis users.
They tackle questions like, 'How can an anti-nausea medicine cause vomiting?' and 'Why does hot water seem to help?' Through a blend of medical insights and patient stories, they shed light on the symptoms, which range from stomach pain to relentless vomiting spells that can last for days. The episode also explores the potential link between stronger cannabis strains and the rise of CHS cases.
Whether you’re a cannabis user or just curious about its effects, this episode offers a comprehensive look at a lesser-known risk. It's an eye-opener that stresses the importance of medical evaluation to rule out other issues and critiques the cannabis industry's silence on this condition. Tune in to get a better grasp of CHS and hear firsthand accounts from those who've battled it.
