Nausea and vomiting are not uncommon symptoms resulting in emergency department (ED) or primary care visits. One of the emerging etiologies - Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) remains significantly under-diagnosed, often resulting in unnecessary repeat ED visits and testing. This is in part due to lack of experience with and knowledge about CHS by health care professionals.

Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome presents as a complex of symptoms and signs encompassing nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and hot water bathing behavior, most typically in a heavy cannabis user. Its presentation is frequently associated with hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activation with stress and weight loss. Recent investigation has identified five statistically significant mutations in patients distinct from those of frequent cannabis users who lack the symptoms, affecting the TRPV1 receptor, two dopamine genes, the cytochrome P450 2C9 enzyme that metabolizes tetrahydrocannabinol, and the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter.
