La marihuana es noticia a diario. Aunque s\u00f3lo unos pocos estados han legalizado la marihuana para uso recreativo, muchos otros, entre ellos Illinois, permiten su uso m\u00e9dico. Estas nuevas leyes han hecho que muchos j\u00f3venes crean que la marihuana es segura. Para tomar decisiones informadas sobre el consumo de marihuana, los padres y los j\u00f3venes deben conocer los hechos.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Muchos medicamentos pueden ser peligrosos. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Aunque los componentes activos de la marihuana, los cannabinoides, pueden utilizarse para tratar el dolor y las n\u00e1useas de los pacientes con c\u00e1ncer, el dolor nervioso y algunos trastornos convulsivos, y para aumentar el apetito de los pacientes con VIH, eso no significa que sea segura para un uso no m\u00e9dico y no controlado. Por ejemplo, los analg\u00e9sicos opi\u00e1ceos de venta con receta son medicamentos valiosos para tratar a pacientes posquir\u00fargicos, pero son responsables de m\u00e1s muertes por sobredosis que la coca\u00edna y la hero\u00edna juntas. Los barbit\u00faricos son esenciales para tratar la epilepsia, pero son extremadamente adictivos y pueden causar sobredosis letales si se abusa de ellos.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Existen muchas dudas sobre los efectos de la marihuana en el cerebro y el cuerpo.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      La marihuana sobreestimula los receptores cerebrales, provocando el \"coloc\u00f3n\", as\u00ed como alteraciones de la coordinaci\u00f3n, dificultades para pensar y resolver problemas, y trastornos del aprendizaje y la memoria. Estos efectos hacen que conducir \"colocado\" sea extremadamente peligroso. En el cerebro de todo el mundo hay receptores (como enchufes el\u00e9ctricos) para las sustancias qu\u00edmicas cerebrales normales de nuestro cuerpo. Cuando las sustancias qu\u00edmicas del cerebro se \"conectan\" a los receptores, se activan las c\u00e9lulas nerviosas. Los cannabinoides tienen la forma de nuestras sustancias qu\u00edmicas cerebrales naturales, por lo que \"encajan\" en los receptores de nuestro cerebro. El mayor n\u00famero de estos receptores se encuentra en las \u00e1reas que influyen en el placer, la memoria, el pensamiento, la concentraci\u00f3n, la percepci\u00f3n sensorial y temporal y el movimiento coordinado.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Las estad\u00edsticas muestran un aumento significativo del n\u00famero de visitas a urgencias relacionadas con la marihuana<\/strong>. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        La potencia de la marihuana ha cambiado. Seg\u00fan la Oficina de Pol\u00edtica Nacional de Control de Drogas de la Casa Blanca, el nivel de THC en la marihuana era inferior a 4% en la d\u00e9cada de 1980. Hoy en d\u00eda, la marihuana suele tener m\u00e1s de 10%. El hecho de que el THC se almacene en los tejidos grasos del cuerpo significa que permanece en el organismo m\u00e1s tiempo que otras drogas. Adem\u00e1s, cuando el THC se incorpora a formas comestibles como caramelos y boller\u00eda, la cantidad de THC suele concentrarse. Esta marihuana potente provoca un coloc\u00f3n m\u00e1s potente, pero existen peligros ocultos. Muchos estados, especialmente los que han legalizado el consumo, han experimentado un aumento de las visitas a urgencias relacionadas con la marihuana. En el a\u00f1o siguiente a la legalizaci\u00f3n recreativa en Colorado, aproximadamente el doble de ni\u00f1os de 9 a\u00f1os o menos fueron hospitalizados por ingesti\u00f3n accidental de marihuana que en el a\u00f1o anterior, cuando la marihuana no era legal para uso recreativo.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Los cerebros de los adolescentes son especialmente susceptibles de sufrir da\u00f1os por el consumo de drogas de todo tipo, incluida la marihuana. \u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Un estudio reciente sobre consumidores de marihuana que empezaron a consumirla en la adolescencia revel\u00f3 da\u00f1os en las \u00e1reas cerebrales responsables del aprendizaje y la memoria en la edad adulta. Un amplio estudio realizado en Nueva Zelanda demostr\u00f3 que las personas que empezaron a fumar marihuana en exceso en la adolescencia perdieron una media de 8 puntos de coeficiente intelectual entre los 13 y los 38 a\u00f1os. Y lo que es m\u00e1s importante, un estudio de la Universidad Northwestern descubri\u00f3 anomal\u00edas en la estructura cerebral y problemas de memoria a los dos a\u00f1os.\u00a0despu\u00e9s de<\/em>\u00a0los grandes consumidores de marihuana hab\u00edan dejado de fumar hierba cuando eran adolescentes. A medida que los adolescentes consuman marihuana cada vez m\u00e1s potente, este da\u00f1o aumentar\u00e1 proporcionalmente.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. El humo de la marihuana contiene la mayor\u00eda de las mismas sustancias qu\u00edmicas nocivas para los pulmones que el humo de los cigarrillos. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Debido a que los fumadores de marihuana inhalan profundamente y retienen el humo en sus pulmones durante m\u00e1s tiempo que los fumadores de cigarrillos, el da\u00f1o al tejido pulmonar de un porro de marihuana es de 3 a 5 veces mayor que el de un cigarrillo. Los estudios revelan que las enfermedades pulmonares de los fumadores de marihuana son similares a las de los fumadores de tabaco y muchos cient\u00edficos creen que es m\u00e1s probable encontrar tumores cancerosos en los fumadores de marihuana.<\/p>\n

            Cuando los estados legalizan la marihuana medicinal o la marihuana recreativa, los adolescentes pueden creer que estas leyes significan que la marihuana es segura. Los adolescentes est\u00e1n especialmente expuestos al impacto neurol\u00f3gico del THC debido a la inmadurez de sus cerebros, y el da\u00f1o causado por la marihuana en el cerebro adolescente puede ser duradero o permanente. Muchos estados han legalizado la marihuana para uso m\u00e9dico, pero eso no significa que sea segura.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
