Cannabis legalization may increase the rates of emergency department presentations and hospitalizations from Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS). This syndrome was first described nearly 20 years ago and has become increasingly common. Yet, for a variety of reasons, CHS is still an underrecognized cause of recurrent abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. All physicians must be prepared to diagnose, manage, and counsel patients on this condition, regardless of their state's current or future cannabis legislation.
大麻合法化可能会增加因大麻素呕吐综合征(CHS)而到急诊室就诊和住院的比率。这种综合征大约在 20 年前首次被描述,并且已经变得越来越普遍。然而,由于各种原因,CHS 仍然是反复腹痛、恶心和呕吐的一个未被充分认识的原因。无论其所在州目前或未来的大麻立法如何,所有医生都必须准备好诊断、管理和为患者提供有关该病症的咨询。
