Abstract

Substance abuse and co-ingestion with alcohol is quite common. Consuming heavy dose could lead to toxicity and co-ingestions may lead to unusual clinical presentations. Co-ingestion of cannabis and alcohol is very common and may have varied effects, especially on neurological system. Our case report highlights an atypical neurological presentation, with non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, after co-ingestion of cannabis and alcohol in a patient with no other associated comorbidities.
