Dr. Brad Robers is the author of,  Legalized Cannabis in Colorado Emergency Departments: A Cautionary Review of Negative Health and Safety Effects

Many people today have been told that cannabis is healthy for them, and in some cases, use it medically.  But recent data from Emergency Rooms across the country has shown that even casual use can have a negative effect, and there are side effects that can be dangerous to your health, even deadly.  

 Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome or CHS Symptoms are 

-cyclic or recurring vomiting often with screaming or what is called “scromitting”; 

-serve abdominal and body pains and people tend to take hot showers or baths to relieve their symptoms. Sometimes they end up with scald burns just trying to find relief.
