Analyses of adults’ self-reported mode of marijuana use were consistent with these mechanisms
Limiting consideration to respondents who reported past-30-day marijuana use and adjusting for complex survey design, sampleweighted multivariable logistic regressions estimated associations between a binary indicator for respondents’ selection of vaping as their primary mode of use and indicators for state marijuana policies at the respondent’s interview date. Covariates adjusted for interview year to capture national […]
The most common psychoactive drugs detected among these trauma patients was marijuana

The exponential increase in the number of patents shows the future potential for the growing cannabis industry
Approval of law opened the window for scientific community to conduct research and cultivate hemp. Since then, 33 US states and more than 47 countries around the world have been growing hemp for research and industrial use . On the other hand, Marijuana research and legalization have been expanding at a comparatively slower rate and till now only […]
A subtle improvement is observed when GLCM texture metrics were added to Sentinel-1 data
The aim of this paper is to 1)conduct a comparative analysis of the SMILE Google Earth Engine machine learning classifiers and analyze their performance in crop type classification over a semi-arid irrigated heterogeneous landscape; 2) classify cannabis fields in the Bekaa region for the years 2016, 2017 and 2018 using multi-temporal multispectral imagery and GEE […]
Pairwise comparisons assessed whether response categories of each sociodemographic characteristic differed significantly from one another
Multivariate modeling indicated that adolescents with a history of cannabis use had lower perceived risk of harm compared with those who had a history of using other substances. This is an important finding as studies have found that cannabis consumption decreases perceived risk of harm from using cannabis . Limitations to consider when interpreting results […]

The use of other illicit drugs was associated with a lower severity of diminished expression after 12-months
A developing brain subject to chronic cannabis-exposure may to a greater extent affect these underlying mechanisms, and hence result in increased severity of diminished expression. Apathy, on the other hand, is linked to reward expectancy and cost-benefit-computation . It is possible that these mechanisms have other determinants, and therefore present as associations to male sex […]
We used the Breslow method to handle ties in the timing of reported outcome events
Brief individual interventions addressing substance use motivations and expectancies have been successful in reducing adolescent cannabis use ; however, research on preventing initiation through brief intervention and among JIY is nascent. Extension of expectancies research with JIY samples is necessary, particularly using prospective data and examining the role of positive expectancies and cannabis use outside […]
Research suggests combustible smoking or vaping cannabis is associated with respiratory-related symptoms and disease
This study underscores the importance of studying in-home cannabis smoking, which occurs at a higher rate than in-home tobacco smoking; however, more research is needed. Cannabis users comprise a sizeable population, both in absolute and relative terms, and with cannabis laws becoming more liberal, the number of users is rising. A major public health goal […]
