Synthetic Cannabinoid-Associated Coagulopathy – Case Report,

Synthetic cannabinoids (SC) were developed in the 1980s for the use in studies on the human endo-cannabinoid receptor system. They have since become popular drugs of abuse and have been advertised as natural, safe and promising “legal highs”. The use of SC is increasing worldwide despite documented potential for dependence and harmful effects on health. SC use has been associated with severe adverse events identified through emergency room visits or poison control calls, including seizures, acute kidney injury, cardiot oxicity and deaths.
