"Moon rock" cannabis is a type of new and highly potent preparation of cannabis, which is made of a strain of cannabis dipped in hash oil and sprinkled with kief crystals, effectively increasing the concentration of δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive compound in cannabis, well beyond what is naturally found in the cannabis plant. The use of increasingly potent forms of cannabis has far-reaching health implications, including psychiatric and neurologic effects, which are not yet fully understood. This case report summarizes existing knowledge of the association of cannabis use with psychosis and seizures and describes a novel case of "moon rock" cannabis-induced psychosis and new-onset seizures.
“月岩”大麻是一种新型的、效力极强的大麻制剂，它由一种大麻菌株浸渍在哈希油中并撒上大麻花粉晶体制成，能有效提高大麻中主要的精神活性化合物δ-9-四氢大麻酚（THC）的浓度，远远超过大麻植物中的天然含量。使用效力越来越强的大麻形式对健康有深远影响，包括精神和神经方面的影响，而这些影响尚未被完全了解。本病例报告总结了大麻使用与精神病和癫痫发作关联的现有知识，并描述了一例由“月岩”大麻引发的精神病和新发癫痫发作的新病例。
