Abstract

Several studies show that chronic marijuana use opens doors to several disorders, especially neuropsychiatric disorders. Others consider cannabinoids to be promising in therapeutic practice. Here, we present a literature review, based on selected publications on the Medline and Scielo databases, on health and cannabis use. This review aims to assist health professionals and students in understanding the growing number of marijuana users who look for help in outpatient clinics and offices. Therefore, there is an increase in the frequency of hospital admissions for psychotic disorders in clinics and specific treatment institutions. Research over the past 35 years has shown that marijuana use promotes only momentary anxiolysis. This drug alone or in combination with cigarette, when consumed for a long term, can deteriorate the user’s intellectual capacity, academic performance, and professional achievements and finally results in social isolation. The current situation demonstrates that cannabis usage is a public health issue that needs to be addressed in health policy because the majority of users get sick and lose their ability to work.
大麻-事关身体、精神和社会健康
几项研究表明,长期使用大麻会导致多种疾病,尤其是神经精神疾病。其他人认为大麻素在治疗实践中很有前途。在此,我们根据Medline和Scielo数据库中选定的出版物,对健康和大麻使用进行了文献综述。本综述旨在帮助卫生专业人员和学生了解越来越多的大麻使用者在门诊诊所和办公室寻求帮助。因此,诊所和特定治疗机构的精神病患者入院频率有所增加。过去35年的研究表明,吸食大麻只会促进短暂的焦虑缓解。这种药物单独使用或与香烟一起使用,如果长期使用,会使使用者的智力、学习成绩和专业成就下降,并最终导致社会孤立。目前的情况表明,大麻的使用是一个公共卫生问题,需要在卫生政策中加以解决,因为大多数使用者会生病并失去工作能力。
