Показано, что под названием марихуана, гашиш или каннабис подразумевается трава дико растущей
конопли «Cannabis sativa», из которой незаконно... могут быть приготовлены курительные смеси, известные в России под названиями спайс, арома микс, макона, а также жидкий экстракт на молоке, известный под жаргонным названием «манага» (или «молочище»). Указано, что ингаляционное введение в организм дыма от курительных смесей и энтеральное введение жидкого экстракта вызывает у наркоманов улучшение настроения и позволяет им получать удовольствие, поскольку трава, стебли, листья и соцветия конопли содержат каннабинолы, которые обладают галлюциногенным эффектом.

Q2: What interventions are safe and effective for drug withdrawal (cannabis, amphetamines, cocaine, benzodiazepines, and inhalants)?
Manual for use in primary care.
There is substantial evidence for the benefits of screening and brief intervention in primary health care for alcohol problems. However, there is a need for screening and brief interventions with cross-cultural relevance for substances other than alcohol or tobacco,... such as cannabis, amphetamines, cocaine and opiates.
The Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) was developed for the World Health Organization (WHO) by an international group of substance abuse researchers to detect and manage substance use and related problems in primary and general medical care settings. Primary health care professionals are well-positioned to provide interventions targeted to all substances irrespective of their legal status.
The ASSIST screening test version 3.0 is available in English and in 10 other languages (Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, French, German, Hindi, Portugüse, Russian, Spanish and Ukrainian).
