Surveying Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome with Megan Mbengue and Codi Peterson

Megan Mbengue is the revolutionary force behind Trusted Canna Nurse. With over 10 years of nursing experience in diverse fields like oncology, labor delivery, and hospice care, she brings a unique perspective to her practice. She also holds national certifications in three nursing specialties and a Master of Science degree in Medical Cannabis Therapeutics.

Codi Peterson is the Chief Science Officer at The Cannigma and a practicing pharmacist with a passion for cannabis-based medicine. Given his diverse pediatric pharmacy experience and knack for educating, he aims to educate as many as possible about the medicinal potential of cannabis

Codi and Megan have launched a new IRB-approved survey through the University of California that aims to better understand the signs, symptoms, and challenges of CHS. They want to understand the key indicators of this condition, hear about any remedies that work, and learn more about navigating healthcare as a CHS patient. 

If you or someone you know has suffered from CHS (and are over 18), please take a moment to fill out their survey. Not only will you be helping this vital research, but participants will be entered into a drawing to win one of three $100 gift cards. I’ve put a link in the show description so it’s easy to find. 

During our conversation, we discuss: 

• Overview of CHS symptoms  
• Early Symptoms and the Prodrome Phase 
• Clinical experiences treating CHS patients 
• The Potential Causes  
• Challenges in diagnosing CHS 
• Treatment and Abstinence from Cannabis
