Alicia describes how working and living near cannabis users and businesses causes her to experience symptoms like pain and vomiting similar to CHS, cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome.   Every day she works hard to avoid being exposed to 2nd hand marijuana use, which is difficult when living in a state that marijuana use is a predominant aspect of the culture. 

This is part 4 of our series where we take a look at CHS, with medical experts and people who have been directly affected.  We ask you to subscribe to our podcast and give us a good review as we share valuable important information.

 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.
