The incidence of ischemic stroke in young people has been rising steadily worldwide for the past 20 years [1-3]. One explanation to this phenomenon may be the increase in the prevalence of traditional vascular risk factors such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, tobacco use, and their combination in young subjects [2,4,5]. Moreover, illicit drug consumption, including cannabis, has risen among young patients with ischemic stroke and could contribute to the increase in stroke incidence in young adults [6,7].
