Acute pancreatitis has a large number of causes. Major causes are alcohol and gallstones. Toxic causes, mainly represented by medication-induced pancreatitis account for less than 2% of the cases. Cannabis is an anecdotally reported cause of acute pancre- atitis. Six cases have previously been reported. Herein we report a new case of cannabis-induced recurrent acute pancreatitis.
