The objective of this study was to present a case report that bring attention to relationship between cannabis consumption and Brugada electrocardiogram pattern (BEP). Here we present a case of a 19-year-old male patient with symptomatic BEP induced after cannabis consumption. With the potential for more widespread legalization of cannabis several studies are raising the issue of adverse vascular effects of cannabis, including myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, cardiomyopathy, stroke, transient ischemic attack, and cannabis arteritis.
