Health experts say Sydni’s story is a warning: for chronic, daily cannabis users, especially those who experience cyclical vomiting and abdominal pain, CHS should be considered. The condition can be life-threatening if dehydration and malnutrition take hold, and recovery often requires complete cessation of cannabis use. As more areas legalize and more people use high-potency products, clinicians are bracing for more cases — and urging users and doctors to recognize the signs early.
Sydni’s message is simple but urgent: if you’re experiencing unexplained, repeated vomiting and you use cannabis regularly, tell your doctor — and consider stopping. For some patients, the cost of finding out is simply too high to ignore.
