Acute Antero-Inferior Wall Ischaemia with Acute Ischaemic Stroke Caused by Oral Ingestion of Cannabis in a Young Male.

Cannabis is a frequently used illicit recreational drug that is known to be associated with a variety of psychopharmacological effects. Negative somatic effects such as myocardial infarction and stroke have been reported, though, less frequently. Most of the literature available has focused on the complications due to smoked forms of cannabis (ganja and charas). Here we report a case of acute myocardial ischaemia with acute ischaemic stroke developing after oral ingestion of 'Bhang', a preparation of cannabis.
