A reduction in hippocampal volume has been reported in long-term heavy cannabis users compared to non-cannabis users

Chronic exposure to THC reduces cannabinoid CB1 receptor sensitivity and/or efficacy at GABAergic, but not glutamatergic terminals in the CA1 region . This reduced sensitivity is accompanied by a down regulation of CB1 receptors, likely contributing to reduced receptor sensitivity . In the hippocampus, eCBs facilitate the induction of LTP through the transient suppression of […]

Cannabis-derived drugs are among the most widely used illicit substances in the world

The handful of existing attempts to model outcomes from cannabis law reform in New Zealand have faced significant domestic and international data limitations, most importantly the limited data on cannabis legalization implemented over- seas . As described earlier, we utilized the NZ-DHI estimates of the health and social harm of cannabis as the starting point […]

Increasing drug treatment capacity also received a low relative importance by the stakeholders

The longer timeframe of cannabis legalization in Uruguay has allowed more evaluation, utilizing neighboring countries as control groups, and has found only minimal impacts on adolescent use and perceived risk of use to date . Drawing on the extensive research literature of effective public health regulation of alcohol and tobacco markets , we assumed that […]

The CUDIT-R  is one of the most widely used measures to assess and detect problematic cannabis use

First, while we incorporated extensive checks to prevent multiple registrations by one person, we relied on self-report regarding cannabis use both at the time of recruitment and at follow-up. Second, the outcome measures employed were fairly crude. Perhaps, in an environment where cannabis is legal, the variable number of days used cannabis in the past […]

Examinations of cannabinoids as treatment strategies for CUD have so far been restricted to adult populations

This is an extremely exciting time in the domain of adolescent and emerging adult prevention and intervention work for cannabis use and related CUD. At present, we are coming out from an era with limited prevention and treatment intervention options. To that end, the past few decades have been demarcated by addiction paradigms and related […]

Cannabis clients often shared the same lobbyists/agencies

These 14 funders were exclusively cannabis affiliates or lobbying agencies with known cannabis industry connections: Liv Well, Buddy Boy, Dixie Brands, Gobi Labs, Gold Dome Access, Lightshade, Medicine Man, MedPharm Holdings, Native Roots, Natural Selections, TEQ Analytic Solutions, The Green Solution, Vicente Sederberg, and Wolf Public Affairs. All but Gobi Labs shared professional ties: John […]

Five significant indirect effects of anxious-depressive symptoms were discriminated on harmful cannabis use

In the mediation model a non-significant total-effect was demonstrated between anxious-depressive symptoms and cannabis use frequency. Therefore, indirect effects were not estimated on this relationship. Existing findings reported significant, positive and weak associations between anxious-depressive symptoms and cannabis use . However, the studies in the literature largely vary how they measure cannabis use and which […]

This trend was moderately observed in the Pre-Planting assessment being almost diluted at Post-Emergence

Barbour et al.  finally proposed the inverse of the variance  as an indicator of precision; in this study, we considered a threshold level of “1” as the minimal precision accepted for a reliable sampling. Only dominance of rapeseed in Winter was considered not reliable , being considered with restrictions in the further analysis. The percentage […]

Greater water retention by pine bark early in the experiment was likely due to initial hydrophobicity common in sphagnum peat moss

The amount of water held by peat moss can be 15 to 20 times its own weight, depending on peat moss type . By week 4, water retention was equal or greater in peat moss compared to pine bark across both experiments. Greater water retention by pine bark early in the experiment was likely due […]
