Abstract :
Cannabis/cannabinoid and bonsai, which is a synthetic derivative of cannabis, are ever increasing public health problems, particularly in adolescents and young adults. Cannabis and its synthetic derivatives have cardiovascular side effects, including myocardial infarction (1, 2). We hereby reported a case of sudden cardiac arrest due to ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI) developing after 45 minutes of bonsai use that was treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
