Great points there.

I just threw "cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome" in the search engine, and here's what popped up in first place:

Often mistakenly called Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome, Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome is a rare form of cannabinoid toxicity that develops in chronic smokers. It’s characterized by cyclic episodes of debilitating nausea and vomiting. People who suffer from the syndrome often find that hot showers relieve their symptoms, and will compulsively bathe during episodes of nausea and vomiting. Symptoms stop after cessation of cannabis use.

....

While cannabis is revered for its nausea-calming (antiemetic) properties, it’s paradoxical that it causes severe nausea and vomiting in certain people. Due to its widely known antiemetic properties, people who develop CHS will often increase the amount of cannabis they consume in hopes that it will cure the nausea, but it never helps. It goes to show how little we know about not only about the body, but also about the interaction between cannabis and cannabinoid receptors.

Sure seems to fit the plaintiff's description of her symptoms and seems more plausible than myclobutanil contamination.

Granted, the gastroenterologist stated her symptoms were unusual given the short timeframe of using the cannabis, and the above article also suggests the syndrome usually only appears after many years of cannabis exposure. However, there's always exceptions and outliers, not to mention people with much higher sensitivities to substances than others.
