Abstract
Introduction and Objective. Cannabis is one of the most widely used illegal stimulants in the world. With a worldwide usage rate of about 4% of the population, it definitely exceeds the use of other drugs. Currently, there is an upward trend in the use of cannabis which is most visible in the adolescent and young adult age groups. Earlier onset of cannabis use may be associated with psychiatric side-effects in adulthood. Review Methods. PubMed, PubMed Central and Google Scholar online databases were searched using phrases related to the topic. After reviewing the abstracts, articles in English, French and Polish presenting the latest knowledge were selected. The types of articles reviewed were original papers, and review papers. Finally, a total of 62 items of literature and websites were selected. Brief description
