Yunita Arif, Herry Purbayu
Abstract
Cannabis or marijuana is the most commonly abused illicit substance with a high
incidence of usage in adolescents. Nowadays marijuana has led to increased exposures reported
to poison centres and presenting to emergency departments. Case :We reported the case of a 23
year old girl who was suspected with marijuana intoxication. The diagnosis is made based on
history, physical examination, laboratory examination, and radiologic examination. The patient
was found unconscious and immediately taken to the hospital. Earlier, she was complained of
nausea, vomiting, agitating, difficult to communicate with, spoke incoherently, and seizure. Blood
pressure was low, and her breathing was fast. Laboratory tests showed positive for THC (from
urine test), while the other tests were negative. The management of an intoxicated patient
occurs mainly in the emergency department and is aimed at stabilizing the clinical condition of
the patient depending on her clinical presentation
