Cannabis consumption has been popular for thousands of years and its historical use is noted in many parts of the world including ancient China, India, the Middle East. It is currently the most popular illicit drug in the world, is being utilized as a medicinal plant, and many parts of the world are legalizing this drug. This discussion considers various aspects of cannabis use including its prevalence, history, co-morbid drug abuse, designer cannabinoids, psychiatric adverse effects, medical adverse effects, and management options. The youth of the world should be comprehensively taught that cannabis is neither a safe nor a benign drug. Prevention with comprehensive drug education is the best plan for our youth since management of a chronic or heavy cannabis consummer remains difficult and fraught with failure if cessation is the goal. Caveat emptor!
大麻消费已经流行了数千年,其历史用途在世界许多地区都有记载,包括古代中国、印度和中东地区。它是目前世界上最受欢迎的非法药物,正被用作药用植物,并且世界上许多地区正在将这种药物合法化。本讨论考虑了大麻使用的各个方面,包括其流行程度、历史、合并药物滥用、合成大麻素、精神方面的不良反应、医学方面的不良反应以及管理选择。应该全面教导全世界的年轻人,大麻既不是一种安全的药物,也不是一种无害的药物。通过全面的毒品教育进行预防是我们年轻人的最佳计划,因为如果目标是戒除,那么管理长期或大量使用大麻的人仍然很困难且充满失败。购买者需谨慎!
