Cannabis is a collective term referring to the bioactive substances from cannabis sativa or cannabis indica. Ganja is a resinous extract of leaves and bracts of a female plant. Smoking of ganja is very rampant for a very long time in our country. Recently, use of synthetic drugs is increasing as compared to natural psychotropic substances because intensity is much higher than that induced by natural ones, together with easy access, affordability and avoidance of detection by many commonly used urine drug tests. Renal failure after cannabinoid use has never been reported; we here report a case of acute kidney injury after synthetic cannabinoid use.
