title: RETRACTED: I do not even remember what I smoked! A case of marijuana-induced transient global amnesia.
abstract: This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal).
  
  This article has been retracted at the request of the editor as it is a duplicate of a paper that has already been published in JSciMed Central, JSM Clinical Case Reports:
  
  Mansou G, Tantoush H, Abuzaid A, Al Ashry H, Bellamkonda P. Marijuana Induced Transient Global Amnesia: JSM Clin Case Rep 2(4): 1043.
  
  One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that the paper has not been previously published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. A longer version of this case report was published on March 10, 2014, by J Sci Med Central, 3 months before three of the original authors submitted it to AJM. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and we apologize to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
