UTILIZAREA CANABISULUI CA REMEDIU TERAPEUTIC DE LA PRIMELE ATESTĂRI PÂNĂ ÎN PREZENT




Planta de canabis* este acceptată drept una din primele plante cultivate de om, fapt ce a progresat gândirea umană, iar descoperirile arheologice şi istorice indică prezenţa ei în activitatea omului încă din perioada 8000-6000 î.e.n, iniţial pentru construcţii, îmbrăcăminte şi alimente, iar ulterior integrată pe direcţii spirituale şi medicale, deseori corelate în istoria veche.

Prima atestare a utilizării cânepei este atribuită mai des Chinei (unde era desemnată prin termenul
ma), fapt ce permitea fabricarea de ţesături, funii, textile, hârtie şi alte produse din fibrele plantei. Canabisul era folosit pe larg inclusiv în scopuri de medicație, fiind introdus şi descris în primul text medical, bazat pe tratament cu ierburi, cea mai veche farmacopeie –Pen Tsao, a imperatorului Chen-Nung, datată cu anul 2737 î.e.n., care a fost larg raspândită ulterior prin tradiţii  orale și pusă pe hârtie tocmai în sec. I e.n. Altă documentare despre utilizarea medicală descrie rolul de analgetic, de către fondatorul chirurgiei chineze Hua Tso, care a trăit în anii 110-207 e.n.

În India canabisul (denumit bhang) este utilizat pe scara larga. Utilizarea terapeutică a plantei de canabis eracunoscută şi aplicată şi de alte popoare, precum asirienii, la care s-a stabilit o consemnare din timpul domniei regelui Esarhaddon (680-666î.e.n., scrisă kunnapu ) şi la persani în sec.VIII-VII î.e.n, in scrierile zoroastriene, unde era indicată cashadanaj.
În era creştină cunoştinţele despre canabis s-au răspândit prin diverse lucrări ale mai multor medici renumiţi. Grecul Dioscorides, mediculconducătorului roman Nero, a scris în lucrarea sa Materia Medica din anul 70 e.n. despre proprietăţile benefice ale canabisului, cunoştinţe păstrate în marea parte a medicinei vestice peste 1000 de ani. Totodată şi eruditul roman Gaius Plinius Secundus, cunoscut şi ca Plinius cel Bătrân, în lucrarea Naturalis Historia din sec. I e.n. descria rolul canabisului în alienări ale fizicului şi spiritului. Alte texte medicale în care se menţionează caracteristici curative ale plantei de canabis sunt și cele din sec. VIII-IX ale medicilor din Persia şi Siria, Sabur ibn Sahl şi al-Kindi, care au introdus planta în ştiinţele medicale arabe, continuate mai apoi de Avicenna.Joseph Moreau de Tours, recunoscut drept fondatorul psihofarmacologiei, subliniază în tratatul său mai multe proprietăţi de acţiune .
În 1890, neurologul Sir J.R. Reynolds, care era în același timp medicul reginei Victoria din Marea Britanie, scrie în revista medicală The Lancet despre aplicaţiile în medicină ale plantei de canabis, cum ar fi în insomnii, migrene, tic douloureux, convulsii, depresii şi dismenoree, pe motivul căreia canabisul -a fost prescris şi reginei Victoria.
Către sfârşitul sec.XX în Europa şi Statele Unite deja se produceau în jur de 30 de tipuri de extracte şi tincturi pe baza plantei de canabisde la multiple laboratoare, drept exemplu Merck din Germania, Burroughs-Welcome din Marea Britanie, Parke-Davis şi Eli Lily din SUA şi au fost publicate cca 100 articole şi sinteze în legătură cu aplicaţiile sale pentru tratament.. Primul studiu ştiinţific guvernamental al plantei pe direcție medicală a fost realizat în 1860 de Societatea Medicală din Ohio, iar raportul prezentat de R. M’Meens releva o serie de condiţii patologice în care canabisul s-a dovedit efectiv, precum în nevralgii, mialgii, dismenoree, convulsii, dureri reumatice, astm, psihoza postpartum, lipsa de apetit şi în alte stări.

Cunoscutul clinician William Osler, căruia se atribuie întemeierea medicinei moderne, într -o publicaţie din 1915 denotă avantajele preparaţiilor plantei de canabis în mai multe patologii, cu referire specială la disfuncţiile neurologice şi migrenă. O descriere terapeutică seprezintă în lucrarea majoră de medicine când astăzi se estimează cca 200.000 produse pentru care canabisul asupra Drogurilor (Tratatul 406)al Organizaţiei Naţiunilor Unite,reprezentanţii SUA introduc interdicţia pentru utili
zarea plantei de canabis pentru 30 ani înainte în majoritatea statelor lumii. Cu toate acestea, din anii ’60 începe a crește consumul recreaţional alcanabisului în rândul populaţiei şi în aşa fel se răspândesc pe larg informaţii anecdotale ale beneficiil or medicale, bazate pe care opinia socială treptat se modifică și către anul 1982, din eşantioanele naţionale studiate, se arată că 64% din persoane -au folosit cel puțin o dată, comparativ cu doar 5% în 1967.Cercetarea canabisului a continuat în MareaBritanie și Canada, iar în Israel s-a descoperit constituentul principal al canabisului Δ9-THC(tetrahidrocanabinolul), mai târziu şi alţi componenţi farmacologici activi, fapt ce a sporit considerabil interesul laboratoarelor din diferite ţări pentru studierea ulterioară, informaţia continuând să crească impunător. După elaborarea în Marea Britanie a raportului Wootton în 1968 şi înCanada a raportului LeDain în 1970, care enunţau lipsa daunelor fizice şi beneficiile utilizn canabis etc. Posibilitățile de producție ale canabisului au fost calcultate aproape de 25.000, în studiile publicate în revistele Mechanical Engeneering din 1937 şi Popular Mechanics din 1938, pe când astăzi se estimează cca 200.000 produse pentru care caasupra Drogurilor (Tratatul 406)al Organizaţiei Naţiunilor Unite,reprezentanţii SUA introduc interdicţia pentru utili
zarea plantei de canabis pentru 30 ani înainte în majoritatea statelor lumii. Cu toate acestea, din anii ’60 începe a crește consumul recreaţional alcanabisului în rândul populaţiei şi în aşa fel se răspândesc pe larg informaţii anecdotale ale beneficiil or medicale, bazate pe care opinia socială treptat se modifică și către anul 1982, din eşantioanele naţionale studiate, se arată că 64% din persoane -au folosit cel puțin o dată, comparativ cu doar 5% în 1967.Cercetarea canabisului a continuat în MareaBritanie și Canada, iar în Israel s-a descoperit constituentul principal al canabisului Δ9-THC(tetrahidrocanabinolul), mai târziu şi alţi componenţi farmacologici activi, fapt ce a sporit considerabil interesul laboratoarelor din diferite ţări pentru studierea ulterioară, informaţia continuând să crească impunător. După elaborarea în Marea Britanie a raportului Wootton în 1968 şi înCanada a raportului LeDain în 1970, care enunţau lipsa daunelor fizice şi beneficiile utiliziculos şi adictiv; plantă asociată cu cel mai de temut inamic al ţării; substanţă controlatăde comuniştii chinezi împotriva naţiunii americane; toţi utilizatorii de heroină sunt victime ale canabisului ş.a. În 1961, prin intermediul Convenţiei Unice le statului, pe plan juridic şi medical, iar în 1974 apare revista High Times, care  cunoaşte succes răsunător, cu subiecte diverse din cultura și industria canabisului, ambele iniţiative fiind foarte active până în prezent.



Către 1976 preşedintele Carter al SUA și respectiv mai multe sfere politice, administrative și științifice acceptă și analizează legalizarea canabisului, însă următoarele administraţii ale lui Reagan şi Bush s-au dovedit foarte austere, aşa încât în 1983 se ordona universităţilor distrugerea datelor ştiinţifice adunate încă din 1966. Totuși, în 1985 SUA aprobă prin Food and Drug Administrat ion utilizarea preparatului comercial Marinol (urmat de Sativex ș.a.), primul bazat pe Δ9-THC sintetizat, pentru pacienții bolnavi de cancer și SIDA împotriva grețurilor și pentru stimularea apetitului. În ediţia anului 1987 a manualului Merck de diagnoză şi terapie se relevă că „utilizarea canabisului nu conduce la dereglări de personalitate şi disfuncţii sociale, iar interdicţiile sunt fundamentate politic şi nu toxicologic”. În 1988 se descoperă primul receptor canabinoid,care, împreună cu identificarea în 1992 a primului endocanabinoid sintetizat de organismul uman, au fost descoperiri esențiale, ce au sporit impunător 
datele despre rolurile şi implicaţiile compuşilor canabisului şi canabinoidelor endogene în homeostaza organismului și în cazul mai multor maladii, inclusiv în tratamentul cancerului. În 1996 statul California votează Propunerea 215 pentru utilizarea canabisului medical în formă naturală
