大麻是许多发达社会中使用最广泛的非法药物。它对健康和心理的影响还没有得到很好的理解,仍然是许多辩论的主题,关于它的风险的意见沿着支持者对它的法律地位应该是什么的观点两极分化。这种意见两极分化的一个不幸后果是,对于医疗专业人员应向大麻使用者或潜在使用者提供何种健康信息,没有达成任何共识。关于大麻使用的许多影响存在相互矛盾的证据,因此我们总结了关于急性和慢性使用最可能的不利健康和心理后果的证据。然而,这种不确定性不应阻止医务人员向患者介绍使用大麻最可能产生的不良影响。在这里,我们就医生可以给正在使用或正在考虑使用这种药物的患者的建议提出一些建议。
Cannabis is the most widely used illicit drug in many developed societies. Its health and psychological effects are not well understood and remain the subject of much debate, with opinions on its risks polarised along the lines of proponents' views on what its legal status should be. An unfortunate consequence of this polarisation of opinion has been the absence of any consensus on what health information the medical profession should give to patients who are users or potential users of cannabis. There is conflicting evidence about many of the effects of cannabis use, so we summarise the evidence on the most probable adverse health and psychological consequences of acute and chronic use. This uncertainty, however, should not prevent medical practitioners from advising patients about the most likely ill-effects of their cannabis use. Here we make some suggestions about the advice doctors can give to patients who use, or are contemplating the use, of this drug.
