ABSTRACT
Synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists are a heterogeneous group of psychotropic drugs functionally related to Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol. These substances, marketed as cannabis substitutes, have been associated with numerous cases of severe intoxication and death across the world. In our article, we describe a case of hallucinogen persisting perception disorder developing in a natural cannabis user after consumption of JWH-122, a naphthoylindole largely used since 2010. Clinical symptomatology persisted for about four years and was alleviated through treatment with clonazepam. Considering that natural cannabis consumption can induce the development of a hallucinogen persisting perception disorder, it is not excluded that, in our patient, symptoms lasted a long time due to cannabis consumption. This article describes the clinical evolution from onset to resolution of all symptoms.
