Marijuana: a toxicological approach

Abstract

From an adult perspective, both marijuana and alcohol consumption are becoming natural. Among illegal substances, marijuana has disseminated all over the word and specially in Argentina. Thus, a scientific approach towards this issue must be developed and we should spread what we know about toxicity and adverse effects, particularly among adolescents. The impact of this kind of toxic during the neurodevelopmental period, both in cognitive and impulse control areas, may involve negative consequences for users at a later age.
