Could The Frequent Episodes Of Vomiting Is Due To The Use Of Marijuana?

Hi - My son has several episodes of vomit frequently, he cannot keep anything down and throws up several times a day and night. This goes on for 2 to 4 days, I'm very worried for him and don't know what to do about his problem which he's had for at least 8 years. Could this have anything to do with Marijuana use?

hi
thanks for using healthcare magic

cannabis can lead to cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome which is characterized by Severe nausea and vomiting and Vomiting that recurs in a cyclic pattern over days or months. Resolution of symptoms after stopping cannabis use. This could be the reason in ur son. In that case if he stops cannabis, he would improve.

Thanks
