2023: In an excellent use of scraping Reddit, this analysis of posts on cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome points to triggers & treatments not often mentioned in the scientific literature
An analysis of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome Reddit posts and themes
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37014024/
“Reddit posts for cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome provide a valuable source of community discussion and individual reports of people experiencing cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. Mental health and alcohol were frequently reported triggers within the posts but are not often identified in the literature. While many of the therapies mentioned are well documented, behavioral responses such as meditation and yoga have not been explored by the scientific literature.”
