Résumé :
Cannabis is globally the most commonly used psychoactive substance under international control. There is an increasing attention to health and social consequences of nonmedical cannabis use, including cannabis use disorders. This technical brief provides an evidence update on the impact of nonmedical cannabis use on health, building on the previous publication from 2016. [Editor's abstract]
This brief presents an update of the evidence on the negative health and social effects of nonmedical cannabis use since 2016, and especially its impacts on adolescents and young adults. The subjective positive effects experienced by some people using cannabis and the therapeutic benefits from medical preparations of cannabis are outside the scope of this brief, as are prevention and treatment policies which are discussed elsewhere. This document is not normative in nature and does not intend to make recommendations. [Extract]
