title: Daily cannabis use and the digestive tract: an underrecognized relationship.
abstract: A 33-year-old man presented with recurrent episodes of hyperemesis with symptom-free intervals since eight years. The diagnosis of cyclic vomiting syndrome due to longstanding and daily cannabis use was retained, after exclusion of any organic cause of vomiting. Although the patient was informed that the clinical response after cessation of smoking is proven to be spectacular, he continued the use of cannabis and kept on presenting with cyclic symptoms of hyperemesis.
