Historical, Biopsychosocial and Legal Aspects Related to Cannabis Use

Two main aspects related to the psychoactive use of hemp can be distinguished in the analysis of cannabis policy. The political-legal approach examines the situation through the prism of historical events that shaped public attitudes and influenced the development and implementation of relevant policies regulating the legal status of cannabis over the past two millennia. Modern scientific approaches allow us to analyze the main theories on this subject from the perspective of social psychology, which is closely connected to current discoveries about the biochemistry of processes in the human body related to cannabis use.
