Abstract

Marijuana is a substance that has been used for recreational purposes since ancient years and that is currently discussed to have a therapeutic or medical value and to be seen as a Medicine. According to the FDA, marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug with high risk of addiction and no medical benefit. However, it is legal in several states for deliberating conditions e.g. various pain conditions, depression, anxiety, nail patella, glaucoma and even HIV. In addition people use is for various other conditions even though studies have shown greater harmful effects then benefit. Especially with marijuana, there is a high rate of misperception in the users. In addition, marijuana has a unique pharmacology and pharmacodynamics because of its more than 400 partially unknown components and the storage in the user’s lipophilic tissues and redistribution long after the last use. The legalization of marijuana is already done in some states and other states are pressured to follow along. This article is a systematic review of literature analyzing the current policies, legal situations and trend as well as politics regarding marijuana and its use. The article is focused on the natural form of the Cannabis sativa plant.

大麻的健康政策

大麻是一种自古以来就被用于娱乐目的的物质，目前被认为具有治疗或医疗价值，并被视为一种药物。根据美国食品和药物管理局的规定，大麻被列为一级管制药物，有很高的成瘾风险，没有医疗效益。然而，在一些州，考虑到各种疼痛、抑郁、焦虑、指甲髌骨、青光眼甚至艾滋病毒等情况，这是合法的。此外，人们使用它来治疗各种其他疾病，尽管研究表明有害的影响大于有益的影响。尤其是大麻，使用者的误解率很高。此外，大麻具有独特的药理学和药效学，因为它含有400多种部分未知的成分，并且在使用者的亲脂组织中储存并在最后一次使用后很长时间内重新分配。一些州已经实现了大麻的合法化，其他州迫于压力也要跟进。这篇文章是一篇系统的文献综述，分析了大麻及其使用的现行政策、法律状况和趋势以及政治。这篇文章的重点是大麻植物的自然形态。
