Cannabis is the most widely used and variably regulated drug in the world, with increasing trends of use being reported in the US, Australia, Asia, and Africa. Evidence has shown a decrease in the age of commencement of cannabis use in some developed countries and a prolongation of risk of initiation to cannabis use beyond adolescence among more recent users. Cannabis use is associated with numerous health risks and long-term morbidity, as well as risk of developing cannabis-use disorders. Cannabis users infrequently seek professional treatment, and normally do so after a decade of use. Cannabis-use disorders are currently treated using a selection of psychosocial interventions. Severity of withdrawal is a factor that increases the risk of relapse, and is the target of pharmacotherapy studies. Currently, there is no approved pharmacotherapy for cannabis-use disorders. A number of approaches have been examined, and trials are continuing to find a safe and effective medication with little abuse liability.
大麻是世界上使用最广泛且管制差异很大的毒品,美国、澳大利亚、亚洲和非洲都报告有使用趋势增加的情况。有证据表明,在一些发达国家,开始使用大麻的年龄有所下降,而且在较新的使用者中,开始使用大麻的风险期延长至青春期之后。使用大麻与众多健康风险和长期发病率相关,还与患大麻使用障碍的风险有关。大麻使用者很少寻求专业治疗,通常在使用十年后才这样做。目前使用一系列心理社会干预措施来治疗大麻使用障碍。戒断的严重程度是增加复发风险的一个因素,也是药物治疗研究的目标。目前,尚无获批用于治疗大麻使用障碍的药物疗法。已经研究了多种方法,并且仍在继续进行试验,以找到一种几乎没有滥用可能性的安全有效的药物。
