Abstract
In the light of genetic predisposition, cannabis may act as a trigger for psychosis in a predisposed individual who otherwise do not develop psychotic symptoms if he/she abstains from the substance. Usually, cannabisinduced psychosis occurs during heavy use and during intoxication. There are only a few reported cases when psychotic symptoms occurred during cannabis withdrawal state. We report a 20-year-old man who had a brief episode of psychosis upon cannabis withdrawal due to the circumstance arising in the aftermath of COVID-19 lockdown following the regular heavy pattern.
