Treatment of Marijuana Intoxication
Observation and monitoring until the person is sober Counseling and drug treatment For people who want to stop using marijuana, counseling, behavior modification, and drug treatment programs may be helpful. However, success relies heavily on their motivation to stop and, for some users, on their willingness to disassociate from their social circle of regular users. Some chronic users of marijuana develop cyclic vomiting syndrome (recurrent nausea and vomiting). Doctors may treat this with IV fluids, antinausea medications, and sometimescapsaicincreams rubbed on the abdomen.
