Abstract
The prevalence of cannabis use for recreational and medicinal purposes has steadily increased. While it is commonly used to alleviate pain, its use is also associated with many acute and chronic adverse effects. There are cases reported on the negative impact of cannabis use on gastrointestinal (GI) disorders; however, there have been few reported cases linking cannabis use to acute pancreatitis. This case report discusses a 37-year-old female presenting to the emergency department for cannabis-induced acute pancreatitis. The purpose of this case report is to educate on the importance of recognizing the potential GI complications resulting from marijuana use.
