Group differences were tested using Pearson chi-square or t-tests, as appropriate. Differences of in-home smoking prevalence among the four tobacco-use and cannabis-use groups were assessed using predicted probabilities from mixed effects logistic regression models. All models were adjusted for age and sex with country of origin as a random effect to account for variation in […]

Cannabis use is most prevalent in adolescents and emerging adults
THC is a partial agonist at CB1 receptors, and frequent cannabis use results in downregulation of CB1 receptors with a potential to reverse with abstinence . Another main cannabinoid is cannabidiol , which is non-intoxicating . CBD has a broad range of pharmacological actions, including inhibiting the reuptake and hydrolysis of anandamide as well as […]
One of strongest predictors of supporting the CLCB was personal experience of medicinal cannabis use

Plants use light sources both as energy sources and to adjust to environmental conditions
Studies in Brassica oleracea showed the same asymmetrical interploidy compatibility pattern as we observed in C. sativa; that is, when the paternal parent had the higher chromosome number, there was a lethal disruption in embryo development, whereas when the maternal parent contained a chromosome excess, viable seeds were formed . Imbalances in the expression levels […]
An electrocardiogram revealed borderline left ventricular hypertrophy and nonspecific T-wave changes

Cannabis based products are predominantly administered through oral and inhalation pathways
Although it also conflicts with prior evidence of disparities in nicotine and cannabis product use observed among lesbian and gay adolescents and young adults , it does align with two recent studies in which bisexual-identified, but not lesbian- or gay-identified adults, reported higher current use of some tobacco products relative to heterosexual-identified adults . The […]
DSM-IV is a multi-dimensional measure for diagnosing CUD and is well established in the literature
There is substantial need for improved knowledge in this domain, as the majority of active cannabis users should be encouraged to transition from smoking to alternative modes. Clear and consistent public health messaging from primary stakeholders is required to facilitate this. The literature unequivocally recognizes intensive or frequent cannabis use patterns as a primary predictor […]
The lack of insurance coverage or reimbursement for cannabisbased products was raised by several participants
All interviews were coded by J.E., and six interviews were independently coded by D.D. Throughout the analysis process, J.E. and D.D. discussed codes and coding structures. Findings were viewed through an HTA lens, and attention was paid to the impact of the technology on the participants and their interactions with end users . In the […]
The medicinal benefits of cannabis have been increasingly discussed within medicine over the past two decades
Reviews of controlled trials suggest that short-term, low dose administration of medical cannabis are effective to treat neuropathic pain related to cancer and other chronic conditions.However, a 4-year cohort study in Australia with over 1200 pain patients using prescription opioids reported that for most participants, cannabis use had no effect on their opioid use and […]
Most participants thought cannabis dispensaries should be allowed to remain open during the pandemic

In mid- 2018, recreational cannabis was nationally illegal in all four countries. However, in the US, 8 states and DC had legalized cannabis for recreational use; Canada was in the process of implementing the […]
