AB  - Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) is a benign and self-limiting condition more 
      commonly seen in young adults. Radiology imaging of the chest, including X-ray or 
      CT scan, is the gold standard for diagnosis. Ecstasy, also known as 
      3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is a synthetic amphetamine derivative 
      widely abused for an increased sense of well-being and euphoria. Marijuana is 
      also abused for recreational purposes. SPM has been reported after both Ecstasy 
      and marijuana use. SPM after these illicit drugs abuse usually has a benign and 
      self-limiting course with supportive management. However, it is always important 
      to rule out serious associated conditions like esophageal perforation. Here, we 
      present a 22-year-old male who developed SPM after Ecstasy ingestion and 
      marijuana inhalation.
