The objective of this study was to determine the sociodemographic characteristics of cannabis users, their consumption patterns, and effects.
Our cross-sectional, descriptive study included 205 subjects (191 men, 14 women, mean age = 25.9 ± 7.9 years). The consumption of psychotropic drugs and/or cannabis was confirmed by toxicological analysis.
In our study population, 61% were cannabis users. Consumption was significantly higher in males (94.4%) than in females. Consumers were young adults, aged 25.8 ± 8.8 years, single (81.6%), had primary school educations (62.4%), were employed (72%) and lived in urban areas (77.6%); 28.8% had a personal history of psychiatric disorders. The mean age of first cannabis use was 20 years. Cannabis use was frequently associated with consumption of alcohol and tobacco (72%). Forty percent of consumers used cannabis daily. Most of those who had used drugs had done so with friends. In most cases, cannabis was regarded as a means of escape from problems (29.3%), relaxation (20.2%), experimentation (18.2%) and a source of pleasure (16.7%).
These data suggest the importance of primary prevention of early use and rapid treatment of young users.
本研究的目的是确定大麻使用者的社会人口学特征、他们的消费模式及影响。
我们的横断面描述性研究纳入了205名受试者（191名男性，14名女性，平均年龄 = 25.9 ± 7.9岁）。通过毒理学分析确认精神药物和/或大麻的使用情况。
在我们的研究人群中，61%为大麻使用者。男性的使用率（94.4%）显著高于女性。使用者为年轻成年人，年龄为25.8 ± 8.8岁，单身（81.6%），接受过小学教育（62.4%），有工作（72%）且居住在城市地区（77.6%）；28.8%有精神疾病个人史。首次使用大麻的平均年龄为20岁。大麻使用经常与酒精和烟草消费相关（72%）。40%的使用者每天使用大麻。大多数吸毒者是与朋友一起吸毒。在大多数情况下，大麻被视为逃避问题的一种方式（29.3%）、放松手段（20.2%）、尝试行为（18.2%）和愉悦来源（16.7%）。
这些数据表明早期使用初级预防和年轻使用者快速治疗的重要性。
