OBJECTIVE
There are contradictory data on chronic lung injury caused by marijuana, which is partially due to insufficient basic research. Anecdotic reports draw attention to an increased rate of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) among young marijuana smokers, suggesting a causative
BACKGROUND
Cannabis consumption is common among adolescents and young adults in France. In addition to its neurological effect, cannabis smoking can induce severe pulmonary emphysema, even in young patients. When a spontaneous pneumothorax occurs in a cannabis smoker, the possibility of a secondary

The notion that smoking cannabis may damage the respiratory tract has been introduced in recent years but there is still a paucity of studies on this subject. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between cannabis smoking, pneumothorax and bullous lung disease in a OBJECTIVE
To compare imaging findings on thoracic computed tomography (CT) examination in patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (SP), depending on their tobacco and/or cannabis consumption.

BACKGROUND
Marijuana use has been increasing in the United States among college students and young adults. Marijuana use has been associated with bullous lung disease which can lead to pneumothorax. There are other recreational drugs like methylphenidate, cocaine and heroin which have been
BACKGROUND
We observed a remarkable increase in the number of young patients who presented with lung emphysema and secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) at our institution for over a period of 30 months; most of them have a common history of marijuana abuse.
METHODS
Retrospective case
Several studies suggested the association between tobacco and cannabis smoking and the risk of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP), but none demonstrated cannabinoids in human lung tissues.The aim of this study was to identify cannabinoids in lung Three patients are reported who suffered spontaneous pneumothorax, each of whom also had a history of daily marijuana and tobacco use. The patients ranged in age from 24 to 37 years, had smoked marijuana on a daily basis for 10 to 14 years, and had 11 to 50 pack-year tobacco-smoking histories.
OBJECTIVE
Previous smaller case series suggested that cannabis smoking may cause spontaneous pneumothorax, but this finding remains controversial. We investigated the possible association between smoking tobacco and cannabis and the risk of having a primary spontaneous pneumothorax in a large,
Previous reports have indicated the association of marijuana and cocaine abuse along with prolonged Valsalva maneuvers and the use of positive pressure devices. In most cases, the use of a single drug has been related to barotrauma. We present an adolescent male who developed this complication after
