The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported a rise in cases of 'scromiting' — a condition characterized by severe vomiting and abdominal pain linked to cannabis use. The condition is now so common that it has been assigned its own emergency room code. The CDC report, published by Health and Me, indicates that cases are rising again in the US.

Gizmodo detailed a severe case involving a 15-year-old whose symptoms were so extreme that his brain began to shut down. Psychology Today also noted the assignment of the ER code, underscoring the condition's prevalence. Cureus published a case report of a 15-year-old male patient who developed Wernicke Encephalopathy secondary to Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome.

There is no contradiction between outlets. The current state is that the condition is recognized as a significant health issue among teens and young adults, with specific medical protocols being developed to address it.
