Abstract

Amaç: Kenevir, binlerce yıldır özellikle liflerinden ve
tohumları olmak üzere tüm kısımlarından çeşitli amaçlarla (yapı-tekstil
malzemesi, kağıt, besin, insan ve hayvan sağlığında ilaç vb.) yararlanılan, ilk
kültürü yapılan bitkilerdendir. 1930’lu yıllarda öforik amaçla kullanımının
suistimal edilmesi ve ticari kaygılardan dolayı uzun yıllar yasaklı/kısıtlı
bitki olarak kalan kenevir, yeni nesil kullanım alanları ve özellikle insan
sağlığıyla ilgili etkilerinin bilimsel araştırmalarla kanıtlanmasıyla son
yıllarda tekrar ön plana çıkmıştır. Günümüzde pek çok ülke kenevirle ilgili
yasaların güncellenmesiyle kenevirin hem endüstriyel hem de medikal
etkilerinden faydalanmaya başlamıştır. Ülkemizde ise son yıllarda endüstriyel
kenevir üretimi ve kullanımı ile ilgili birtakım gelişmeler yaşanmaktadır.                                 

Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, kenevirin botanik özellikleri, tarihçesi,
fitokimyasal içeriği, terapötik kullanımları ve sağlık alanında yapılan
bilimsel çalışmalar derlenmiştir.

Sonuç ve Tartışma: Kenevir bitkisinin botanik özellikleri, genel kullanım alanları
ile birlikte geçmişten günümüze sağlık alanında kenevirden elde edilen
kullanımda olan ilaçlardan örnekler verilerek fitokimyasal içeriği ve etkileri
detaylı olarak verilmiştir. Kenevir tohumu yağı ve kökündeki aktif bileşenlere
de değinilmiş, kenevirin terapötik kullanımı tartışılmıştır. Hem endüstriyel
hem sağlık alanında kullanılan fakat üretimi ve kullanımı ülkemizde kısıtlı
olan kenevir ile ilgili yasaların bilimsel destekli olarak yeniden gözden
geçirilmesi ülke ekonomisi ve sağlık sektörü için oldukça önemli sonuçlar
sağlayacaktır.

HEMP AND ITS USE IN HEALTH

Abstract

Objective: Hemp is one of the first
cultivated plants that have been used for thousands of years, specifically on
behalf of its fibers and seeds, for various purposes (building-textile
material, paper, nutrients, human and animal health). In the 1930s, since the
abuse of the euphoric use for abstinence, hemp was banned/restricted and
remained restricted for many years, hemp has emerged once again in recent years
with the usage of the plant in new generation areas and in particular the
impacts of human health. Nowadays, many countries have begun to benefit from
the both industrial and medical effects of hemp by updating the laws related to
hemp. In our country, there have been some developments regarding the
production and use of industrial cannabis in recent years.  

Material and Method:
In this study, the botanical characteristics, history, phytochemical content,
therapeutic uses of hemp and scientific studies in the field of health were
reviewed.

Result and Discussion:
The botanical properties of cannabis plants, general usage areas as well as
phytochemical content and its utilizations in health from past to the present
are given in detail. Cannabis seed oil and active ingredients in its roots are
also mentioned and therapeutic use of cannabis was discussed. A review of the
cannabis laws with the support of scientific revelations, which are limited
production and usage both in industrial and health fields, will provide
significant results for the country's economy and health sector.
