Severe Vomiting Sickness with Chronic Cannabis Abuse

Marijuana, a commonly abused drug is linked to a severe form of vomiting syndrome and compulsive bathing behavior.

Recent research into the neurobiology of cannabis has led to the identification of different receptor types including two specific types that mediate neuropsychiatric and immunologic effects.
