(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Rodríguez Metrio, Mateo; Orejuela Gómez, Jonny Javier
Objective. To identify subjective experiences when consuming cannabis in a group of young adults in Medellín (Colombia). Conceptual References. The concepts of marijuana/cannabis; subjective experiences; pleasure and discomfort; social, labor, and academic consequences of cannabis consumption; and the vicissitudes of young adults are described. Method. Qualitative study whose main instrument is a semi-structured interview applied to 8 cannabis consumers in Medellín, Colombia. Results: the obtained results allowed to identify that the causes of consumption are related to the social sphere due to casual invitations from close people, also that there are both experiences of pleasure and discomfort, although they tend to be more pleasant like listening to music, euphoria, and greater relaxation; and that the consequences, although not seen in the short term, are generated in the long term and affect memory, coordination, or concentration. Conclusions: cannabis consumption occurs for different reasons and has different consequences, which depending on the moment they are analyzed, can be positive or negative, being more positive in the short term and more negative in the long term.
