Posverdad del consumo de cannabis: de regreso a la medicina basada en la evidencia

Hugo López Pelayo, Laia Miquel De Montagut, Cristina Casajuana Kögel, Mercè Balcells Oliveró

Resumen


La opinión pública y científica sobre los efectos beneficios y perjudiciales del consumo regular de cannabis no está exenta del fenómeno de la posverdad. En esta editorial revisamos la evidencia científica de los efectos perjudiciales del consumo regular de cannabis (salud física, mental, consecuencias sociale, etc.), del uso medicinal del mismo (dolor, epilepsia, VIH, etc.) y de los vacíos en la investigación en este campo. Por último, desarrollamos una recomendación de abordaje de la situación desde un punto de vista de la salud pública y la investigación clínica y preventiva.
