NĚMCOVÁ, Kateřina
The title of my diploma thesis is "Awareness and experience of the adult population with cannabis as a drug and as a medicine". It is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part includes two areas. The first one is related to cannabis as a drug. Therefore, it contains chapters on cannabis itself, its effects, users and the possible effects that could occur if used more frequently. Especially about the effects on the mental and physical conditions of the organism. The second area is focused on the aspects of treatment. How is cannabis used in the treatment, in what diseases it brings relief and how is the doctor's relationship to cannabis in the Czech Republic. It also discusses the process of its legalization. The practical part reveals the experience and awareness of adult respondents about cannabis as a drug and also their awareness of therapeutic effects. I obtained the data through a quantitative method. The anonymous questionnaire used for obtaining the information, is supplemented by hypotheses, which will be statistically evaluated in the results chapter.

The aim of this thesis is to draw attention to the serious problem of drug addiction among adolescents who are abusing addictive substances or marijuana. This increasingly important issue is discussed a lot, but very often neglected by the society. This thesis provides definitions and characteristics of individual drugs and their effects on adolescents. The need for prevention and treatment of adolescent clients is emphasized, alongside with the family support, which is often crucial. In the practical part, the author of the thesis focuses on organizations that are critically important in this field. These organizations focus on prevention, counseling services, social inclusion and treatment facilities (inpatient and outpatient services), etc. Their characteristics and methods of client treatment are described. Furthermore, in this work the author presents a survey that confirms the findings of some detailed quantitative research papers. The main findings are that drug abuse is a major problem of this century and also a burden on society, especially on the adolescents themselves. The solution is very complicated and time consuming, but everyone can contribute by not being indifferent to this problem.
