ABSTRACT
This paper draws on scientific work done in the English-speaking Caribbean in an attempt to assess the specific effects of the chronic use of Cannabis on psychological and physiological processes. Evidence is reviewed concerning the interaction of this psychotomimetic compound on cognitive functioning and the possible sequelae of altered mental states giving rise to psychopathology. The physiological work evaluates studies relating to Cannabis smoke and lung function. In addition, the work reveals some exciting findings of the impact of Cannabis on the reproductive process. The implications of these findings are discussed in view of our knowledge of the chronic use of Cannabis in Jamaica, and focuses attention on the long-term effects of this substance in the context of the abusing population (AU)
