The patient's type-1 Brugada pattern and ventricular fibrillation were likely induced by vaping tetrahydrocannabinol. He underwent secondary prevention with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. He abstains from cannabis and Type-1 Brugada pattern is normalized. There was no arrhythmic event at his 18-month follow-up appointment with abstinence from tetrahydrocannabinol.
