"Spicy Strokes": Synthetic Cannabis and Strokes in Young (P7.123)

CONCLUSIONS: Our case is unique that there was an association between the use of synthetic cannabis and presentation of stroke. However, the JWH-018 that was previously implicated in the stroke causation was absent. More extensive research is needed in future to find other metabolites and contaminants of street preparation of ‘spice’ that may potentially cause strokes.Disclosure: Dr. El Kouzi has nothing to disclose.
