THERAPEUTIC USE OF CANNABIS: A SOCIOANTHROPOLOGICAL STUDY OF PHARMACOLOGY MANUALS. Bruno de Castro*, Iolanda Szabo Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro – Instituto de Estudos em Saúde Coletiva *brunodecastro@ufrj.br
Slide 2-

Introduction: Cannabis’ plants have been incorporated to medical therapy in several countries over the last decades. They have been used in the treatment of various diseases, such as drug-resistant epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and chronic pain. The therapeutic use of cannabis suffers stigma and prejudice. It’s necessary to analyze how the recent medicalization process with Cannabis has been presented in professional health training.

Objectives: To analyze in pharmacology manuals, the diffusion of scientific information involving representations on the consumption of cannabis and its derivatives, from the official biomedical discourse directed to health professionals. Method: Documentary research with socioanthropological approach. Data source: three pharmacology manuals adopted by Brazilian universities: Goodman & Gilman’s The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 12th edition; Basic & Clinical Pharmacology, 13th edition and Clinical Pharmacology: Fundamentals of Rational Therapy, 4th edition. Keywords researched in these manuals, between August and September of 2018 were: Cannabis and cannabinoids.

Results: Endocannabinoid system’s and its receptors descriptions have been found in the central nervous system pharmacology chapters. Δ9-THC has been considered as the only natural cannabinoid. Pursuing control of the emesis, stimulation of appetite and treatment of pain, dronabinol and nabilone have been presented as therapeutic alternatives. The use of other cannabinoids and their use in other health conditions have not been presented. Cannabis is highlighted in chapters discussing drugs abuse and addiction.
Slide 5-

Conclusions: Cannabis therapeutic use has been little discussed in pharmacology manuals, which represent fundamental references in training of health professionals in our country. Manuals ignore specialized knowledge restricted to scientific journals, reproducing hegemonic medical-legal discourse that stigmatizes cannabis’ use, and disregarding lay knowledge of medicinal use. Considering scientific knowledge produced by human activity in its social and political insertion, is important to mention in educational materials, empirical evidence which has already been described about cannabis’ use in clinical practice in several countries. Thus, this would contribute to reduce stigma and influencing professionals conduct towards the use of this health technology.
