[A case of cannabis-induced mania].
We present the course of a mania most likely induced by cannabis in a young cannabis-dependent patient, but apart from this, healthy male adult. Mania developed in parallel to increasing cannabis inhalation and remitted quickly and completely within one week of abstinence without any antimanic medication in a protective inpatient setting. Simultaneously, the THC-COOH level decreased in serum and urine.
