ABSTRACT

In the last three decades it has been producing consumption highly prevalent among young cannabis, which has led to disputes dissimilar psychosocial risks of tobacco use. Of these we must mention the possibility that cannabis is a risk factor of such a serious and disabling disease like schizophrenia. Among the most common clinical manifestations is the presence of psychotic symptoms, so it follows that this can be a risk factor for schizophrenia in people with a genetic vulnerability or associated psychosocial. Hence the application of preventive measures in high-risk groups, which are mainly consumers of large amounts of cannabis and those who start drinking in early adolescence is necessary.
