He's correct. There is a blog over on the Norml website concerning weed hyperemesis. Your symtoms are classic. I checked over there and I wasn't able to find the exact link but there are plenty of people that have this condition and most use the hot bath method for relief. It can be serious and require hospitalization. Good luck.
found it...

[btw CVS sufferer, I did see your posts over there, good work and hope you find an answer. It appears to be fairly common now that we have internet/google]
Hiya mate, thanks, me too, however answers are really few and far between unfortunately.
That blog on norml website you mention is very misleading with some very confusing posts on there. Some from people who think they have cannabis hyperemesis, some who think they have cvs, some who dont even think they have either but think the can judge what other people suffer from! I wouldnt use that as any type of evidence to prove cannabis hyperemesis exists or infact has many people suffering from it. It is unfortunately just like this thread and the other 10+ I have saved on my favourites......just a few people posting about their son, partner etc with very few people coming forward actually discussing the symptoms that have disappeared since abstaining. Seriously, there is 400 posts on there and no-one coming back to help others by explaining their symptoms. At the very least I find that disappointing.
I appreciate what you are saying aswell mate but it really isnt fairly common. A handful of threads may make it seem that way but if you search any other medical ailment and you will find many many thousands of more posts. Cannabis Hyperemesis is only in the theory stage and there is nothing to say it will ever get recognised. I have since learnt that all of the abstracts bouncing around the internet are not actual studies but only observations made my various doctors (some never even see the patients) who then write a paper about a theorised illness that maybe other doctors will read and if there is an illness around the world, it will eventually be found. Apparently that is how most illnesses have been recognised over the years however cannabis hyperemesis has not been officially recognised, hence all you will find are theories and poorly done studies as oppose to real science or evidence.
There are many million cannabis smokers in the English speaking world and I have maybe found 2/3 people who have come back time and again to discuss their symptoms in detail......the rest (at the very most 200) unfortunately only share very little details of their symptoms and are just repeating what the abstracts or theories say, with no apparent desire to discuss any of their symptoms which may help other people. From my research I have found at best about 100-200 different people in all of the world which is surely classed as extremely rare, to a point that really other causes need looking at?
I have only found my way here trying to investigate the link that is being made between my illness CVS and the theorised illness of cannabis hyperemesis, of which one of the alleged symptoms are "cyclic vomiting". Many sufferers of CVS have abstained from cannabis with no relief whatsoever. Incase anyone is interested, here is a paper written by an actual CVS doctor in which she states that the cannabis being the cause of CVS has been investigated and remains controversial. This still doesnt stop doctors labelling us sufferers, hence why I am questioning literally everything. Not to be awkward, also not to argue. But to get some correct information out there to people who maybe dont have the time to search like I have -

Thanks again mate and I am not arguing about cannabis hyperemesis, but looking for people who are better after abstaining from cannabis and just exactly what they are better from. It is ok saying "I suffer from cannabis hyperemesis" but for example the OP of this thread doest appear to have cyclic vomiting which is one of the alleged symptoms of Cannabis Hyperemesis. I suspect in many cases people arent suffering from this "theorised" cannabis hyperemesis but are mistaking this for just general IBS or other complications caused by either smoking cannabis, eating the wrong foods (which are obviously both linked with munchies etc) or are just catching on to this Cannabis Hyperemesis and making a link if that makes sense which is ofcourse dangerous if something more serious is causing the symptoms.
Maybe one day we will have the answers. Until then I am the one who appears to be doing all of the talking on these threads until people actually come forward and share their symptoms. You cant suffer from an illness that doesnt exist and cannabis hyperemesis is not a recognised illness so I think everyone should look at the symptoms smoking cannabis is causing rather than giving your illness a name, far more safer!
(wow sorry for another rant...I have to stop doing that but I feel I need to say so much to get the correct information out there. If anyone has anything different ofcourse please share it, that is what I want. Maybe patients of this marijuana morning sickness are on the increase.....certainly not where i live though.
