The overwhelming majority of this sample reported using cannabis to treat multiple health conditions. This result is unsurprising given increased cultural attention to the wide range of conditions for which cannabinoids may be therapeutic. However, panacea-like use may prove problematic. The same cannabinoid preparation that might be helpful for one condition [e.g., high THC and […]

Five states set waiting periods before people received automated expungement
Even in the United States, new research is needed that more accurately evaluates real differences across the states in terms of the legal status of possession offences, how these laws are enforced and interpreted by police and prosecutors, how these differences get translated into arrest patterns, and how these differences in laws and their enforcement […]
Exposure to malodor led to inability to focus on a task
The review not only examined the mechanisms by which odors induce a health response, but also identified effective risk-based approaches for regulating health impacts from exposures. The main outcomes of interest in the review were health symptoms, physiological responses, annoyance, mood and psychological health, quality of life, cognition , athletic performance, and brain activity. Alberta […]
The Weber-Fechner law gives a linear plot of logarithm concentration against intensity
The physical environment also plays a role. Varying wind direction and speed lead to the transitory nature of odors, and multiple sources in the vicinity lead to difficulty in source attribution. Even temperature and humidity play roles in the perception of odor, which is often overlooked during exposure sampling and analysis. In addition to the […]
IRB approval included consent to publish the data as a case study
Social science contributions to understanding multiple drug use have lagged behind those from the natural sciences . The regular and combined use of multiple substances is disproportionately practiced by some minority and socially marginalized groups, such as gender minority individuals . The particular risks and benefits associated with multiple drug use demand a better understanding of its […]
California regulates cannabis with a strong hand and high taxes
When we found the same retailer or a branch of the same retail chain elsewhere in the same county, we kept the retailer in the data set. If a retailer disappeared and then reappeared in a later round of data collection, we kept it in the data set. If a retailer re moved its online price list, […]
A recent landmark paper describes the successful production of THCA and CBDA from sugar in yeast
Employed was a combinatorial assembly of yeast toolkit parts and iterative design-build-learn-test cycles with strain selection guided by a mathematical model relating genetic design to monoterpene flux. To be functionally useful, the engineered strain needed to retain its ability to convert sugars to ethanol, and have precise, stable expression of flavor-determining monoterpenes linalool and geraniol. This […]
We propose some aspects of possible ideotypes for several biomass crops
Because of the mismatch in the volumes of fuel needed versus the volume of each individual therapeutic needed, it will be necessary to have a large number of crops, each producing the same bio-fuel precursor and different high-value products, which will be agronomically challenging. Biofuel production from lignocellulosic biomass relies on the microbial bioconversion of cell wall […]
An online survey was also the most cost-effective means of reaching a large number of cannabis growers
We received 101 responses, with variations in response rates among questions. Within this group, 36 growers provided feedback about their participation in state and county licensing initiatives, and 35 on the income they received from cannabis cultivation. We received feedback about the ways in which the legalization system could be improved from 30 participants. Although […]
An additional risk associated with working in the service industry involves the opportunity to earn tips
Not surprisingly, these are the same industries who historically have high rates of sexual harassment . Between 2000 and 2015, the combination of these industries made up 28% all sexual harassment charges filed to the EEOC . Such industries put employees at greater risk to experience sexual harassment, especially by customers and clients who sexualize […]
