<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5150081/Heavy-marijuana-users-showing-ER-scromiting.html">Heavy marijuana users showing up at the ER 'scromiting' | Daily Mail Online</a>: "Chronic cannabis users are at risk of experiencing a horrifying new condition that is being reported at hospitals across the country. 
 
'Scromiting,' doctors say, is becoming an all-too-familiar site at emergency rooms, with patients 'screaming and vomiting' as they turn up for help.  
 
The condition, called Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS), is not properly understood but medical experts believe the symptoms appear from individuals using or consuming heavy amounts of marijuana over a long period of time. 
 
Dr Aimee Moulin, an emergency room physician at UC-Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, said she has seen a rise in cases since California legalized recreational marijuana last November. 
 
She expects to see a further rise after commercial sales are permitted starting in January."
