Core Tip	Achalasia is a rare esophagus motility disorder. Medical, endoscopic and surgical treatments are available, but all endorse high relapse rates. We report the case of a patient diagnosed with achalasia who identified benefits from cannabis use on achalasia symptoms. Cannabis non-use before manometry could explain the gap between functional symptoms assessment and manometry measurement. Further investigations are warranted to explore a therapeutic effect of cannabis in achalasia and possible influence on outcome measurements. Particular attention should be given to cannabis addiction risk to vulnerable patients.
