Pridelovanje konoplje med legalnim in kriminalnim : diplomsko delo univerzitetnega študija

Podatki o obstoju konoplje segajo daleč v zgodovino, še danes pa je to rastlina, ki dviguje veliko prahu. V diplomskem delu smo navedli dejstva o konoplji, osredotočili pa smo se predvsem na problem, ki je zajemal razlikovanje med stališči različnih starostnih generacij. S pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika smo anketirali 226 udeležencev raziskave. Ugotovili smo, da so do konoplje najbolj kritični anketiranci, ki so starejši od 40 let, sledijo pa jim anketiranci, mlajši od 18 let. V okviru problematike smo raziskovali tudi povezavo med dolgotrajno uporabo kanabisa in razvojem duševnih bolezni. To povezavo smo potrdili, saj je več avtorjev navedlo razvoj anksioznosti, depresije, psihoz, shizofrenije, preganjavice in sindroma odvisnosti od marihuane. Na drugi strani smo potrdili pozitivne učinke kanabisa na določena bolezenska stanja. Mednje štejemo rakasta obolenja, bolezen oči, imenovana glavkom, ter slabost in bruhanje pri bolnikih z AIDS-om ali anoreksijo. Potrjena je tudi uporaba za blaženje bolečin in krčev ter simptomov multiple skleroze. Pri uporabi v medicinske namene so vprašljivi stranski učinki, ki so lahko nepredvidljivi, saj se pri vsaki osebi ob zaužitju indijske konoplje pojavljajo nekoliko drugačni občutki. V teoretičnem delu smo s pomočjo literature primerjali tudi škodljivost kanabisa, tobaka in alkohola za zdravje. Skozi raziskave smo zavrgli našo predhodno predpostavko, da so prepovedani produkti kanabisa bolj škodljivi od dveh dovoljenih drog. Znanstveniki so v letu 2007 zahtevali novo rangiranje 20 najpogostejših drog glede na škodljivost za zdravje. Alkohol se je znašel na zaskrbljujočem 5. mestu, tobak na 7., kanabis pa na 11. mestu. Glede na ugotovitve Evropskega centra za droge in odvisnost ima prekomerno uživanje alkohola mnogo hujše posledice, kot so ciroza jeter, prekomerni odmerek, nasilje in samomorilnost, prometne nesreče, učinek na zarodek in podobno. Posledice uživanja kanabisa so hujše od alkohola le pri potencialnih bolezni dihal, tobak pa je bolj škodljiv glede kardioloških bolezni in različnih oblik rakavih obolenj. Možnosti za razvoj odvisnosti so navedene kot velike pri pogosti uporabi vsake izmed preučevanih snovi.The information about hemp were already heard long time ago and it is still a plant, that everyone talks about it. In study we defined some facts about cannabis and focused on a problem, that included differences between points of views of different age generations. We used survey questionnaire and questioned 226 people. We determined, that respondents, who are older than 40 years, are the most critical about growing and using cannabis products. They are followed by generation that is under 18 years old. We were also researching a connection between long term abuse of cannabis and mental illness. The connection was confirmed because a lot of authors wrote about anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, \u27cannabis psychosis\u27 and dependance of drugs. On the other hand, we confirmed the presumption of cannabis use for treating some medical conditions. It could be helpful for cancer treatment, high pressure in eyes, nausea and vomiting for patients with AIDS and anorexia. We confirmed that it can also be useful as a painkiller, for cramps or even with multiple sclerosis. The problem about medical use of cannabis are its side effects, that can be unpredictable because the THC effects every person on somehow different way. In theoretical part we compared harmfullness of cannabis, tobacco and alcohol for our health. With researches we discard the premise, that prohibited products of cannabis are more harmfull than alcohol and tobacco. Scientists asked for new distribution of 20 most often used drugs, ordered according to the health hazard. Alcohol was arranged on fifth place, tobacco on ninth, and cannabis on eleventh place. According to European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction has excessive consumption of alcohol more serious consequences like liver cirrhosis, overdose, violence and suicide, car accidents and effects on fetus. Consequences of cannabis use are more harmful just for potencial respiratory diseases, and tobacco can be more harmful for cardiac diseases or cancer. The risk of addiction is high with abusing every drug we researched about
