Abstract

La legalización de la marihuana medicinal y recreativa en diferentes países ha generado un debate acerca de los beneficios de la misma. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo conocer, a través de una revisión sistemática de la literatura publicada entre 2013 y 2019 en la base de datos Web of Science Core Collection los efectos de la legalización sobre variables relacionadas con la salud física. El número de artículos revisados fueron 24. Los resultados indican un aumento de casos y de hospitalizaciones por consumo accidental de marihuana en niños menores de 18 años, y entre adultos debido al abuso, un efecto en el número de nacimientos ingresados en incubadora, una disminución en el número de prescripciones de medicamentos con codeína, no habiendo relación con el número de suicidios. Se puede concluir que la legalización ha tenido un efecto sobre variables relacionadas con la salud física. En este sentido, es necesario tener en cuenta la evidencia científica en materia de salud en el debate acerca de la legalización de la marihuana en España o en otros países de la Unión Europea
