[The cannabis pandemic: why use this expression? Epidemiology].
Using the term of pandemic to characterize the current use of cannabis is fully warranted considering the results of recent surveys [Halte au cannabis. Paris: Odile Jacob; 2006]. A pandemic is defined as an epidemic affecting populations in a very wide geographical zone which may involve one or several continents.
