Triggers & Causes

CHS isn’t “random.” Certain patterns and triggers commonly make symptoms worse — and understanding them helps you feel more empowered.

THC Exposure

The biggest factor in CHS is continued cannabis use. Even small amounts of THC can restart symptoms in sensitive individuals.

Concentrates, vapes, and strong edibles tend to trigger symptoms more intensely.

Not drinking enough water or electrolytes can make nausea and cramping significantly worse.

Stress hormones directly affect digestion and nausea sensitivity.
