Abstract
Cannabis is one of the commonly abused psychoactive recreational drugs, the popularity of which has exponentially increased in the recent times due to the notion that it has minimal side effects [1-3]. But of late, many studies have showed that chronic use of cannabis has cerebrovascular as well as cardio vascular complications [4,5]. As per the report of National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre (NDDTC) of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, 2.83% of Indians aged 10–75 years (or 31 million people) were current users of cannabis products [6]. A 22-year-old, apparently healthy male student, staying alone in a rented apartment with history of chronic cannabis use was found in an unconscious state with multiple packets of cannabis (Ganja/ Marijuana). During the PME, about 250-300 grams of intraventricular hematoma was present in the lateral ventricles of the brain. Diffuse haemorrhage was present over bilateral cerebellar hemispheres. No antemortem injuries were present on the body
