Cannabis is a commonly used illicit drug worldwide with many noted adverse effects and medical properties. It has been previously used in medicine for the management of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. The chronic use of cannabis is well-known to be associated with psychological and cognitive adverse effects, however, cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome is a less commonly recognized complication of chronic long-term use of cannabis, though it does not occur in the majority of chronic cannabis users. Here we present the case of a 42-year-old male who presented with classical clinical features of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome.
大麻是一种在全球广泛使用的非法药物,具有许多显著的不良反应和医学特性。它曾被用于医学领域以治疗化疗引起的恶心和呕吐。众所周知,长期使用大麻会导致心理和认知方面的不良反应,然而,大麻素呕吐综合征是长期慢性使用大麻较少被认识到的一种并发症,尽管大多数慢性大麻使用者不会出现这种情况。在此,我们报告一例42岁男性患者,其表现出大麻素呕吐综合征的典型临床特征。
