Cannabis abuse linked to severe vomiting disease
Medical scientists have identified a link between chronic usage of marijuana and an obscure severe vomiting syndrome.
Marijuana, a commonly abused drug among high school and college students, is linked to a severe form of vomiting syndrome and compulsive bathing behavior. This form of severe vomiting sickness is increasingly recognized with widespread abuse of marijuana. The syndrome usually subsides with strict abstinence from marijuana abuse.
Because this syndrome is newly recognised and because marijuana use appears to be increasing, especially among young people, diagnosis of the syndrome will likely become more common in coming years.
