Medical manifestations Associated pathophysiology
Cannabis induced arteritis [44, 45], cannabis induced posterior circulation stroke [46], and myocardial infarction [47] This is likely due to the vasoconstrictor effect of cannabis

Chronic cough, bullous emphysema, and chronic obstructive lung disorder [48, 49] Cannabis smoke is known to contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other carcinogens
In addition, heavy use of cannabis is likely to lead to generalized airway inflammation

Cannabis hyperemesis syndrome [50] This seems to be a paradoxical effect associated with the usage of cannabis

Adipose tissue insulin resistance, pancreatitis [51, 52] Proven underlying mechanisms have not been ascertained
