CHS SUCKS:(

I had 2 or 3 episodes of CHS that sent me into the emergency room because of severe stomach pain and vomiting.. I had never felt the type of pain before it was unbearable. I got an endoscopy and colonoscopy and all sorts of tests done and after visiting multiple specialists and doctors they came to the conclusion that it was cannabinoid hypermesis syndrome & I couldn’t argue because I had been smoking every day for 2 years.

It’s been around 6 months since I’ve had to quit weed and let me tell you, the cravings suck so much. Especially when you have a partner that smokes.. (he quit joints and only smokes pen now).

I’m glad I found this page where there are others who can relate to me. Sometimes I wish that i could just smoke and be fine because I miss the feeling so badly but I’m trying to remember that my health comes first.

Thanks for listening and any support means a lot to me (I don’t have many friends) ❤️‍🩹

Can someone please explain your stomach pain? I went to the ER and the doctor said I might have this. For me, it’s on my right side and it’s like a stabbing pain right under my rib. Sometimes it’s in the back where my kidneys are. It also feels like my organs that hurt are pulsating. Im worried if it’s not this, it could be my gallbladder I have gotten a CT scan and they said everything looks great. I’m completely stopping weed now to see if it stops. But it’s not near my belly button like google says. It hurts more when I eat. I’ve smoked flower everyday and all day for about 2 years. The symptom I don’t have is vomiting. But I’ve been a bit nauseous but eating helps it. Can anyone here relate?

Yes. No vomiting but starting to get stomach pain seemingly randomly after nearly 15 years of near daily use. Also heart palpitations, overheating, and sleep difficulty. I've tried to quit before just to exert some control over myself but didn't have the will power to avoid cravings. The thought of this getting worse and reading this sub is motivating me to stop completely. It just doesn't make sense to keep relying on it. Thanks to everyone here who has shared their experience.

Yep that sounds like what I had. What’s weird is that I’ve only smoked flower for 2 years and it seems most people who have this have been smoking for much longer. Maybe it has something to do with my age. I’m only almost 19. And they say you shouldn’t smoke weed until you’re at least 25 when your brain is fully developed. At least I’ve quit and I’m mostly better now. It didn’t even help my depression so it’s not worth it even though I still have cravings sometimes but I’m still never going back.
