Dr. Codi Peterson is a pediatric pharmacist with over a decade of experience specializing in acute care and pediatric emergency medicine. He currently serves as a clinical pharmacist at Rady's Children's Health of Orange County, where he works night shifts in the Emergency Department and applies his expertise to optimize medication safety and therapeutic outcomes in children. Beyond the hospital, Codi is deeply committed to education and mentorship. He is an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California, Irvine, where he teaches cannabis pharmacology and therapeutics, and a guest lecturer at OCEMT, instructing paramedics and firefighters in applied pharmacology.
He is also an active researcher on Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS), having led one of the largest patient surveys on the condition to date. At CannMed 26, Codi will share the results of that study in a presentation titled, “Through the Eyes of a Patient: Integrating Story and Science to Demystify CHS”.
During our conversation, we discuss:
- Defining CHS and explaining why it is difficult to research
- Cannabis use patterns among CHS sufferers
- Whether contaminants and pesticides play a role in developing CHS
- The prodromal phase and early warning signs of CHS
- Sex-based differences in CHS patients
- Understanding the biological mechanisms behind the development of CHS
- and more
