Abstract

Marijuana is considered a drug of low-toxicity, however its chronic and excessive use is regarded as a risk factor for general and cardiovascular health. Although investigated for therapeutic benefits, it can evoke electrocardiographic abnormalities in a dose-dependent manner. We report a case of a 54-year-old female who presented to the emergency department (ED) experiencing intermittent episodes of presyncope with tingling sensations around the left-side of the mouth and arm following acute inhalation of marijuana. Documented episodes of sinus arrest were noted.
