Marijuana remains a complex, poorly understood drug with many effects. Although its acute psychological effects are well described, data linking cannabis use to chronic psychiatric or social problems and decreased driving or workplace safety are much less clear. Current laboratory procedures have not yet been shown useful to demonstrate acute intoxication, so they remain screening instruments for those interested in detecting cannabis use for other reasons. Although both acute and chronic effects of marijuana use have been described, they appear to be less than other commonly abused substances, including tobacco and alcohol. The rare acute complications that present to the Emergency Department can be managed with conservative measures.
大麻仍然是一种复杂且了解甚少的药物，具有多种影响。尽管其急性心理影响已有充分描述，但将大麻使用与慢性精神或社会问题以及驾驶或工作场所安全性降低联系起来的数据却远不那么明确。目前的实验室程序尚未被证明对证明急性中毒有用，因此它们仍然是那些因其他原因对检测大麻使用感兴趣的人的筛查工具。尽管已经描述了大麻使用的急性和慢性影响，但与包括烟草和酒精在内的其他常见滥用物质相比，其影响似乎较小。急诊科出现的罕见急性并发症可以通过保守措施进行处理。
