  • Title: Marijuana. Health and treatment issues.
    Author: Jones RT.
    Journal: Psychiatr Clin North Am; 1984 Dec; 7(4):703-12. PubMed ID: 6097886.
    Abstract:
    Intermittent use of low-potency cannabis is not generally associated with obvious toxicity. In recent years, some cannabis users have been using high doses more frequently and seeking treatment. A large but incomplete literature indicates that cannabis can be harmful to health, and that virtually every system in the body is affected by cannabis. Cannabis pharmacology is complex; all recent scientific groups reviewing cannabis conclude it is clearly capable of causing adverse effects to health. Specific treatment procedures have not been developed for managing cannabis related problems. Strategies useful in treating other drug dependence problems are useful in treating dependence.
