I have used cannabis edibles casually for 18 months. Last week a 10mg gummy from my usual brand made me vomit for hours — worse than I have ever felt. Never happened before. Should I be worried about CHS?
A single severe episode from an edible is not necessarily CHS. It could be absorption variability, a more potent batch, or other factors. CHS typically requires long-term heavy daily use. But monitor any pattern carefully going forward.
Edibles metabolize differently than smoked cannabis — THC converts to 11-hydroxy-THC via the liver, which is considerably more potent. Some people are genuinely more sensitive. Consider a break and see how you feel.
How are you feeling between uses? Any persistent morning nausea or stomach sensitivity? If this seems truly isolated, probably not CHS. But if it happens again or you notice GI issues, see a doctor and be honest about cannabis use.
