Résumé : |
ENGLISH : This part of the cannabis series is not intended to deny problems of abuse, dependence or addiction with cannabis, but rather to encourage treatment professionals and health care professionals in general to fully explore the reasons for use, the use patterns, and the consequences of use with clients to determine whether or not a client's use of cannabis is indeed a problem for that client. The author assumes that treatment professionals use established criteria to make a diagnosis of cannabis addiction. However, the author is concerned that due to the international prohibition of cannabis, strongly led by the US, alcohol and drug treatment professionals as well as the general public have been subjected to overstated reports about the dangers of cannabis based more on ideology than science. During this prohibition, campaigns have repeatedly presented exaggerated negative claims about cannabis as the whole truth, while any beneficial aspects of the drug have been suppressed or ignored. The intent of this article is to encourage clinicians to be open-minded about cannabis use and acknowledge that not all use is problematic. (Review' s abstract) |
