health authorities in the united states are warning users about a rare but severe side effect of cannabis called “scromiting,” a term combining “screaming” and “vomiting.” it refers to intense bouts of vomiting accompanied by extreme nausea, often lasting hours and sometimes requiring medical attention.
experts say scromiting is most commonly linked to heavy or chronic cannabis use, particularly with high-potency products. symptoms can include abdominal pain, dehydration, and exhaustion. medical professionals advise users to seek help if episodes occur and to use cannabis cautiously, especially for those with a history of nausea or gastrointestinal issues.
