| Publisher Description: Acute pancreatitis is a serious disease with a mortality rate as high as 20%. Common causes of acute pancreatitis include, alcohol, obstruction and drug side effect. Marijuana has been documented as a rare cause of acute pancreatitis. While the pathophysiology of this disease process is not yet proven reports of its occurrence have increased in the last decade. This increase in reported cases of acute pancreatitis in conjunction with local legalization of medical and recreational marijuana use make this case of particular importance. We report the 13th case of cannabis induced acute pancreatitis worldwide and the 4th in the United States. |
