Abstract
Patients who were known to have taken cannabis in the form of cigarettes required admission to hospital. The features of the illness include aggressive behavior, gross psychomotor overactivity, bizarre grandiose delusions, passivity, and an amnesia for the onset of their illness. Following the acute phase of the illness a chronic picture gradually presents, lasting an indefinite time, characterised by a persistance of the amnesia, flattening of affect, and a mild-to-moderate degree of remaining thought fragmentationKeywords
