Abstract
Introduction: Cannabis sativa is being medicinally used by humans and is well known for its recreational uses. Seizure is exceedingly rarely seen following cannabis use. Various cellular mechanisms have been suggested in the occurrence of seizures caused by cannabinoids.
Case: The patient was a 28-year-old man who complained of weakness, lethargy, and convulsions after consuming cannabis (hashish). The laboratory findings and brain CT were normal. The patient's toxicity panel was positive for hashish.
Conclusion: Physicians working in the emergency department should be aware that hashish may cause seizures. Although several investigations have shown anticonvulsant effects for cannabis.
