While researching information about hepatitis A transmission and infection, marijuana use was listed alongside drug use by injection or non-injection. The study evoked the question of how marijuana use might cause hepatitis A virus (HAV) transmission or infection. Although there doesn't appear to be volumes of information supporting the connection of marijuana use and hepatitis A, there is a study (first search result below) that reports evidence of samples of cannabis being contaminated with HAV when an HAV patient with no known risk factors was discovered to have DNA sequence samples of HAV from his serum that matched the DNA sequence from a viral elution of fresh cannabis leaves from a batch that the man consumed. The association was not concluded with certainty, but the association was strong.
