Marijuana is a commonly abused illicit substance around the world, and lung injury related to its use has seldom been cited in the literature. Most cases describe marijuana-induced lung injury via vaping and the use of butane hash oil; however, no cases, to our knowledge, have associated lung injury related to marijuana smoke in the form of rolled "blunts" or cigarettes. We describe the case of a patient who presented to the hospital due to chest computed tomography findings demonstrating diffuse bilateral opacifications without signs of systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage and sputum cultures failed to identify an infectious etiology, and serologies were negative for autoimmune etiologies. We aim to contribute to the limited body of literature describing marijuana-induced lung injury.
