Intravenous Marijuana Syndrome is a rare distinct short-term clinical syndrome related to the IV injection of boiled cannabis broth, which had been filtered through a cotton cloth. The syndrome has at least 25 known cases in the English language literature, all prior to 1983.[1] Symptoms included "myalgia, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and weakness." All known patients recovered with normal care, with an average hospital stay of 9 days. In a controlled study, subjects were injected with cannabinoids, but no adverse effects were observed. Contamination, perhaps from the cotton used to strain the liquid, was suggested as a cause for the illnesses.[1]
