A non-classical cannabinoid syndrome

Abstract

Hyperemesis cannabinoid syndrome (HCS) is characterized by cyclic vomiting and compulsive bathing behaviors in chronic cannabis users. This syndrome is not well known in the medical world and is underdiagnosed, despite the increasing use of cannabis. In this case report, physicians should keep in mind the criteria that characterize HCS syndrome. However, non-classical forms of HCS can exist with bradycardia, and pain can be relieved by cold temperature.
