No episode this week. We had to call a last-minute audible.
You may have heard that the bill to restart the federal government contained language that would ban hemp products containing THC, which has sent the entire hemp industry, including many CannMed supporters and contributors into chaos. As a result, the guest we had scheduled for this week’s episode asked to reschedule, which we were happy to oblige.
But don’t worry, we will be back with a new episode next week featuring the always wonderful Bonni Goldstein. She has some exciting details to share about the CannMed 26 Medical Practicum, which is going to feature tons of new topics. So please tune in for that one.
In the meantime, I’d like to remind everyone that we are accepting abstracts for the CannMed 26 Summit through the end of the week. The deadline is this Saturday, November 15th. Submit at cannmedevents.com/apply
So if you have done any novel research in the areas of cannabis science, medicine, cultivation, or safety and testing, we encourage you to submit an abstract for consideration. If selected, not only will you have the opportunity to present your work to the industry leaders in attendance at CannMed 26 but a recording of the presentation will be added to the CannMed Archive and Medicinal Genomics YouTube page for additional exposure after the event. You will also get an invitation from me to appear on the CannMed Coffee Talk podcast, if that’s something you're intersted in.
See you next week!

![Demystifying Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome with Codi Peterson, PharmD
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 Radys Childrens 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
