Now that recreational marijuana is legal in the Tri-State Area, doctors are seeing more of a rare medical condition affecting some long-term users.
"A lot of patients presenting with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and that's related to heavy use and usually long-term use," said Dr. Borislav Stoev, chair of the emergency department at Saint Peter's University Hospital.
"There's certainly a lot more widespread use of marijuana and cannabinoids, and also all the different products now available, such as edibles, are contributing to that," Stoev said. Andrew Rosner, vice president of the Cannabis Association of New York, says with more widespread acceptance of cannabis, people may be more open with their doctors about their use.
"If you are vomiting many, many times, after some time, you could cause injury to your esophagus, like a tear, which can cause bleeding," Stoev said.
