[18:44] Isambard_Prince Dubbed scromiting by social media due to the combination of screaming and loud vomiting, the medical name for the condition is cannabis hyperemesis syndrome, or CHS, which is on the rise in the United States. Habitual users of cannabis, including teenagers, are showing up in emergency rooms complaining of severe intestinal distress. [18:44] Isambard_Prince They are writhing, holding their stomach, complaining of really bad abdominal pain and nausea, said Dr. Sam Wang, a pediatric emergency medicine specialist and toxicologist at Childrens Hospital Colorado, who treats adolescents with the condition. [18:44] Isambard_Prince They vomit and then just continue to vomit whatever they have in their stomach, which can go on for hours, Wang told CNN in a prior interview. They often say they took a scalding hot shower before they came to the ER but it didnt help. [18:44] Isambard_Prince ---- [18:44] Isambard_Prince Have they tried....not using drugs?
