Abstract

Nowadays cannabis is the most common substance of drug abuse and pathophysiological effects have been described on the cardiovascular system. Yet there is limited information concerning cannabis induced acute coronary syndrome and the exact contribution of cannabis smoking to coronary artery disease and its mechanism are not known. We describe a case of acute coronary syndrome following cannabis smoking in a young female with no predisposing causes for thrombosis.
