Tıbbi Esrar Psikiyatrik Bozuklukların Tedavisinde Kullanılabilir mi?

Abstract

Cannabis is known to be the most commonly and most widely consumed illicit drug. Despite the known risks of cannabis use, there are anecdotal reports advocating that cannabis can be used in the treatment of or to correct the symptoms of some diseases. Since the approval of use of cannabis in some diseases such as AIDS, cancer, and extreme weight loss, it is suggested that cannabis may safely be used in the treatment of some other medical disorders. In this review, the medical use of cannabis in some medical conditions that were reported in the scientific literature will be reviewed and possible benefits of cannabis use in some psychiatric disorders (or symptoms) will be discussed. This presentation does not aim to support the legalization of cannabis use.
