The non-linear effect of age of first tobacco use on average HONC score can be described as a slight decrease until age 8, followed by a slight increase between 8 and 12 years, and then a sharp decrease with age. Hazardous substance use in adolescence can increase risk for substance use disorders in adulthood, which […]

The classical multivariate regression is a standard method for modeling multiple outcomes jointly
More recently, a simple cumulative risk index was developed to classify which adolescents are at risk for developing persistent substance disorders in adulthood using risk factors from childhood and adolescence . Another recent study built a model for predicting quantitative risk of developing cannabis use disorder in adults based on personal risk factors using statistical […]
Multiple pathways are possible and the influences may vary by developmental stage
In the past year, 25% of EA ages 18–24 have initiated/increased cannabis use in response to negative stress and emotions – the steepest rise in use across all queried age groups; further, 43% of EA reported past year cannabis use, the highest rate observed in 35 years . While the literature supports important links between […]
Multiple pathways are possible and the influences may vary by developmental stage
Even EA who share experiences of inequality or similar challenges in emotion regulation may not experience similar outcomes some will experience stable or worsening problems while others will transition towards resilience and recovery. In some contexts, such as for individuals in high subjective and objective inequality contexts, differences in emotion regulation and the associated underlying […]
Health policy needs to begin incremental policy changes toward an actively supportive role in allowing and providing patient access
In 2014, over a one-month period, Twitter produced over 15 times as many pro-cannabis tweets as anti-cannabis ones .This trend of pro-cannabis information outweighing the anti-cannabis information online should contribute to a shift of cannabis attitudes in a more positive direction. Even so, there remains a gap between cannabis attitudes in the media and realized […]
Speed of processing is required during driving tasks requiring rapid responses to unexpected events
Here, we define “driving scenarios” as the terrain, driving route, situations encountered, and environmental conditions represented within a simulated drive. If not designed in an evidenced-informed manner, driving scenarios may not allow for a sensitive and reliable measurement of cannabis-related effects on safe driving performance. Driving simulators also provide the ability to introduce graded challenges […]
Black patients were less likely to vape and Hispanic patients were more likely to use dabs/wax than other groups
For example, smoked cannabis and use of concentrates among adolescents have been associated with a higher risk of continued use relative to other modes , and smoked cannabis may carry the greatest risks due to exposure to carbon monoxide and other harmful by-products of combustion . Yet, little is known about the prevalence or correlates […]
MIP-1 cytokines are induced in myeloid cells in response tobacterial endotoxins or membrane components
Given the many toxicant components found in cannabis smokers, it is not surprising that cannabis smoking notably alters the oral microbial ecology. Importantly,long-term repeated oral inoculation of A. meyeri, which mimicked cannabis exposure-increased oral A. meyeri in humans, resulted in the development of CNS abnormalities.Recent studies have found correlations between Actinomyces and Alzheimer’s disease. For […]
Many analyses do not account for the influence of substances other than cannabis on driving
Our findings could serve as baseline data for future ad campaigns. According to Snapchat’s policy, ads that “promote cigarettes , cigars, vaping products, tobacco, nicotine, or related products of any kind” are prohibited. Leveraging Snapchat’s platform features can help monitor and amplify the reach of health education campaigns. For instance, incorporating Snapcodes in health messages […]
The first expansions occurred to the west and the east during the Miocene-Pliocene
A third assemblage corresponds to cultivated Cannabis, which is usually found together with cultivated cereals such as Avena , Hordeum , Secale and Triticum , as well weeds such as Centaurea or Scleranthus species. Using these phytosociological affinities, McPartland et al. attributed the Cannabis-like pollen types recorded in the literature to wild Cannabis if this […]
