Several lines of evidence suggest protective effects of cannabinoids on gut barrier function

The GBA encompasses bidirectional communication between the central and the enteric nervous systems , linking emotional and cognitive centers of the brain with intestinal functions . The autonomic nervous system, the ENS, and the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis mediate the communication of the GBA. Enteroendocrine signaling through enteroendocrine hormones activates neuronal pathways, including extrinsic afferent neurons, […]

Cannabis use has been increasingly prevalent among adolescents and young adults

Cultivation of marijuana and the associated use of toxicants have been recently documented in occupied fisher habitat. In addition to the four fisher mortalities attributed to anticoagulant rodenticides by Gabriel et al. , we documented nine additional pesticide toxicosis cases in the present study. The average incidence of toxicosis cases per year for the five […]

The California Department of Food and Agriculture oversees state-licensed cannabis cultivation and defined it as agriculture

Since AIDS patients are treated with anti-retroviral therapies, researchers explored the potential impact of cannabinoids on indinavir and nelfinavir and found no significant impact of marijuana on the efficacy of these drugs . The first written account of medicinal marijuana took place in China in the 5th century BC , and with ongoing research of […]

The majority of studies focus on cannabis users and individual stigma

By bringing actors from the black market to the taxed and licensed marketplace, the state can raise billions in annual tax revenue and create jobs for thousands of people. The economic justification of cannabis legalization was compelling: if people were going to use it anyway, why not tax it? Other important arguments favoring full legalization […]

Hippies were dangerous not due to their violence but due to their nonconformity

The 1969 Life article—known for its first use of the phrase “sex, drugs, and rock”—portrayed protesters as unconventional drug addicts whose life-style was “antithetical in almost every respect to that of conventional America.” The middle-class position of cannabis users affected cannabis laws by altering typical stereotypes about consumers and generating new arguments against the existing […]

The legalization of cannabis is a product of moral and political debates in contemporary America

A log-rank test was used to determine the significance of difference between two survival curves. All analyses were conducted using JMP staThistical softwar.Survivorship of adults reared from wild-caught larvae and pupae was examined in three different environments: indoor, plantation, and forest . Female mosquitoes placed indoors survived significantly longer than those in banana plantation and […]

Prevention of marijuana use for underage persons is an important public health goal

The AUMA initiative appropriately prohibits sales of marijuana to minors and prohibits anyone under the minimum age be allowed in any store that sells marijuana and marijuana products, including staff. This provision is stronger than regulations for retail alcohol stores, which explicitly allow underage people in convenience stores. However, AUMA fails to include other important provisions […]

The study focused on the safety of the drug combination and was quickly funded

NIH cannabinoid research support increased from $111.3 million for 285 projects in 2015 to $189 million for 408 projects in 2019, with more than a doubling of funds dedicated toward cannabis and cannabinoid therapeutics from 2015 to 2019, from $21 million to $46.5 million , about 0.5% of the overall NIH research budget. Of the […]

All regressions in this report will contain both county and year fixed effects

To discover an answer, we will look at medical marijuana, crime, arrest, unemployment, and mortality rates in California counties from 2005-2014. The arrest and mortality rates will be used specifically to examine the possibility of marijuana being a substitute drug. Today, there are approximately 572,762 medical marijuana patients in California, which is equivalent to 1.49% […]

A dairy cow takes two years to reach puberty with another nine months for gestation before she produces milk

Los Angeles was the first county to industrialize dairy production ; the number and size of milk cow herds expanded to supply the rapidly expanding demand for dairy products. By 1925, Los Angeles County was the leading producer of milk in the state, driven by population growth after World War I. The high cost of […]
