Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS)

Overview

Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) is a condition that leads to repeated and severe bouts of vomiting. It is rare and only occurs in daily long-term users of Cannabis.

How long does it take to recover from cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome?

In the recovery phase, symptom improvement and resolution occur with cessation of Cannabis use. Symptom improvement can occur within 12 hours of Cannabis cessation, but can take as long as three weeks. Patients remain symptom-free while abstinent, but symptoms rapidly recur when they resume use.
