A new study has found one weed habit could result in “scromiting”, a horrifying blend of screaming and vomiting. ststoev – stock.adobe.com
Scromiting can include relentless nausea, severe abdominal pain and constant vomiting that causes those afflicted to see drastic weight loss and be bedridden for days.
While these episodes typically hit within 24 hours, a link has been found between one form of cannabis and CHS.
The study, published last week in Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research, discovered that those who used electronic vape cartridges developed chronic vomiting much faster than smoking or edibles.
The findings are considered a “massive public health concern,” according to researchers, as vaping usage increases and more risks are discovered.
Looking at more than 1,130 responses to a survey from those who developed CHS, a strong association was found between those who vape and having a faster reaction to weed than their peers who smoke and use higher levels of cannabis.
More than 96% of respondents used cannabis products daily, with nearly half saying they used it six or more times a day.
