Abstract
El uso crónico de marihuana se ha asociado con efectos negativos en las funciones ejecutivas, pero existen dudas con el uso recreativo, es decir, esporádico y sin dependencia. Este artículo reporta los resultados de una revisión sistemática sobre las evidencias que han evaluado ese tema en los jóvenes. Para ello se realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos OVID, Embase y EPSCO, en las cuales se identificaron solo dos estudios que cumplían con los criterios de inclusión y que mostraron que el uso recreativo esporádico de cannabis se asoció con alteraciones en la memoria de trabajo y con reducción del número de decisiones correctas en una prueba psicométrica.
Chronic marijuana use has been linked to negative effects on executive functions, but there is uncertainty with recreational, sporadic, and non-dependent use. This article reports and analyzes the results of a systematic review of the evidence that has evaluated this issue specifically in young people. Only two studies that met the inclusion criteria were identified in the OVID, Embase and EBSCO databases. They showed that recreational sporadic cannabis use was associated with alterations in working memory and a reduction in the number of correct decisions in a psychometric test.
