Abstract

Korištenje i rasprava o konzumaciji biljke Cannabis sative aktualna je tema je već dugi niz godina. Može se koristiti kao opojna droga ili u medicinske svrhe. Svaka država sa sobom nosi zakone koji reguliraju njenu primjenu te mogu, ali i ne moraju biti praćeni mišljenjem i stavovima društva. U Hrvatskoj je konzumacija zabranjena te je kanabis, poznat i pod nazivima marihuana, trava, žiža, top i pljuga vrlo dostupna i najraširenija ilegalna droga. Korištenje indijske konoplje u medicinske svrhe je legalizirano te se primjenjuje u terapiji oboljelih od multiple skleroze, karcinoma, epilepsije i kopnice. Obzirom da se sam kanabis može pojaviti u mnoštvo različitih oblika, i konzumirati u različite svrhe i na različite načine, raznolika je i populacija njezinih konzumenata. Upitnikom Daily Sessions, Frequency, Age of Onset, and Quantity of Cannabis Use Inventory (u tekstu dalje DAFQ-CU) koji je proveden u sklopu projekta „Kanabis – analiza konzumacije u RH i BiH za razvoj programa sigurnijeg korištenja“, ispitani su stavovi ljudi, gdje je naglasak stavljen na stavove o konzumaciji, štetnosti i posljedicama, legalizaciji, usporedbi s alkoholom i lijekovima kao i generalnoj korisnosti za društvo. Bio je postavljen na Internet te se ispunjavao online, a ispitanici su prikupljani tehnikom snježne grude. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 1099 ispitanika. Rezultati ukazuju na to da postoji razlika u stavovima između konzumenata i nekonzumenata na način da konzumenti imaju pozitivnije stavove o konzumaciji kanabisa nego nekonzumenti. Također je pronađena i razlika u stavu obzirom na spol ispitanika gdje osobe muškog spola izvještavaju o pozitivnijim stavovima o kanabisu nego što to čine djevojke. Osim toga, pronađena je i razlika u stavovima konzumenata muškog i ženskog spola, dok među nekonzumentima nije pronađena razlika u stavovima o pitanjima štetnosti i nelegaliziranosti kanabisa u Hrvatskoj.

Abstract (english)

The purpose and discussion about the plant Cannabis Sativa has been popular for a long period of time. It can be used as an intoxicating drug or for medical purposes. Every county has their own way of regulating its application, and it can, but it does not have to be followed by the public opinion or attitudes. Consumption of cannabis is forbidden in Croatia. Also
known as marijuana or weed, it is easily available and the most widely used illegal drug. On the other hand, the use of Indian hemp is legalized for medical application, and it is used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis, cancer, epilepsy and AIDS. Taking into consideration that cannabis can be used in various forms and be consumed for different purposes in diverse ways, the population of its consumers is therefore, heterogeneous. Public attitudes were examined by using the instrument Daily Sessions, Frequency, Age of Onset, and Quantity of Cannabis Use Inventory (DAFQ-CU) which is part of the project „Cannabis – consumption analysis in Republic of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina for development of safer use program“. The emphasis was on the attitudes towards consumption, harm and consequences, legalization, comparison with alcohol and medicines, as well as towards the general use for society. It was uploaded on the Internet and participants fulfilled the questionnaire online. A total of N=1099 people participated in this study. The results showed that there is a difference between cannabis users’ and non-users’ opinions. More accurately, cannabis users expressed more positive attitudes towards cannabis use than non-users. Moreover, the difference was also found in attitudes depending on the gender of participants where male partakers had more positive attitudes towards cannabis use than female partakers.
Furthermore, there is also a difference in attitudes between male cannabis users and female cannabis users while a difference in attitudes between male and female non-users was not found.
