Abstract		Smoking cannabis is a health risk factor. Effects of cannabis use were assessed by the World Health Organisation in a similar manner as those of alcohol and tobacco, and the need was stressed for giving due consideration to the established science-based standards and conclusions concerning potentially harmful effects of cannabis use on health. No official recommendations for the use of cannabis in medicine have yet been adopted. Medicinal use of cannabis, though rare, is generally not based on convincing results obtained by reliable clinical studies. Individual variability does not allow for generalization of the effects and consequences of cannabis use. Cannabis is listed among those illicit drugs whose potential harmful effects on health need further investigation.
Summary		Kajenje kanabisa je dejavnik tveganja za zdravje. Svetovna zdravstvena organizacija je opravila delno oceno učinkov kanabisa na zdravje na podoben način, kot je to opravila za alkohol in tobak ter opozorila na sprejemljive znanstvene standarde, ki vodijo v zaključke o potencialnih škodljivih učinkih uporabe kanabisa. Uradnih priporočil za širšo uporabo kanabisa v medicini ni in uporaba v redkih primerih v glavnem ne temelji na dovolj prepričljivih izsledkih ustreznih kliničnih raziskav Individualna variabilnost onemogoča posploševanje učinkov in posledic uporabe kanabisa, ki so težko predvidljivi in odvisni tudi od stanja ter pričakovanj uporabnika. Kanabis je uvrščen med tiste prepovedane droge, za katere je še potrebno zbirati informacije o potencialnih učinkih na zdravje.
