Abstract

Before considering the legal approval of recreational consumption, it is essential to analyze the various components of the phenomenon, including the implications in areas such as economy, national security and public health. An informed debate on the effects of marijuana calls for scientific evidence on the benefits, harm or adverse effects of its use. The marijuana-suicide link is one of many topics that must be tackled in the field of mental health.
