Cannabis, opinions and sciences
abstract
We reflect on the debate that exists in the scientific community about the opinion articles that
propose assessing the possible therapeutic use that the regulated cannabis consumption can
have and on the other hand the studies that show the relationship between the consumption
of this substance and the risk of mental illness. Differs between “risk of disease” and causality,
and explain the concept of stochasticity in psychiatry. We must value “the loss of opportunity
that is assuming that the debate on cannabis continues to arise as a war conflict between supporters
and detractors of the uso of this ancient and complex substance.
