According to the NASEM report, there is a moderate level of evidence of a statistical association between cannabis use and the development of substance dependence and/or substance abuse disorder for alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs.Multiple cohort studies have demonstrated these results.Four separate discordant twin studies have found that the twin who used marijuana was more […]

Distance to ocean provides a summary measure of the coastal environment of the farm
The cannabis industry has historically resisted widespread farm consolidation, perhaps due to its status as an unregulated, and illicit or semi-licit, activity. While the amount of cannabis produced in California is substantial , evidence from 2016 suggests that most outdoor cannabis was then produced on farms smaller than one acre . When Proposition 64 legalized […]
A fairly large amount of work can be found on animal models of adolescent cannabis exposure
Similar to findings by Lopez-Larson discussed above, the concept of deleterious effects related to early initiation of cannabis has been explored in the neuroimaging literature as well. According to Wilson and colleagues , individuals reporting marijuana use prior to age 17 demonstrated decreased whole brain and cortical gray matter in addition to increased percent white […]
The general population may support the legalization of recreational cannabis for a variety of reasons
There are many rare social facts, but some become pathological based due to their infrequency, and others do not. Why is that so? To tailor the Durkheimian theory and make it more suitable for my empirical analysis, I incorporate Mary Douglas’s idea of pollution and power. Rather than speaking about pathological forms, Douglas focuses on marginal […]
Several studies have analyzed cannabis use among pregnant and non-pregnant women
One other study has utilized results from TAG to predict cannabis involvement in an independent sample. Vink and colleagues used polygenic scores created by aggregating SNPs at varying p-value thresholds, up to p = 0.5, to predict tobacco, alcohol and cannabis phenotypes in an independent Dutch sample. Such an approach has the advantage of utilizing effects, […]
Hemp hurds are commonly used as a filler in the manufacture of hemp concrete
Measurements show that values of thermal conductivity coefficient for composites are in a range 0.125- 0.065 W·m-1·K-1.In the paper,it was reported,that the thermal conductivity coefficients of hardened composites based on MgO-cement and unmodified hemp shives of another origin were 0.111- 0.23 W·m-1·K-1 and comparable to other building materials such as aerated autoclaved concrete.The obtained values […]
A recent toxicogenomic study conducted in our laboratory compared three different cigarette smoke condensates
It should be noted that the mycelium specimen under 98 % RH reached the maximum mass gain around the seventh day in the sorption test, and after that underwent mass loss and showed signs of mould growth on the surface. As a result, maximum mass gain instead of equilibrium mass is used to calculate the equilibrium […]
Maternal cigarette smoking is typically considered to be a risk factor for SPTB and SGA
Data from this analysis were obtained from the SCreening for Pregnancy Endpoints study, which aimed to build a clinical database and pregnancy bio-bank to screen candidate markers of pregnancy complications. The SCOPE study recruited nulliparous women with singleton pregnancies between November 2004 and February 2011 from one centre in each of Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland, […]
Absolute and normalized organ weights were determined on selected tissues
Sixty male rats weighing 224-286 g and 60 female rats weighing 170-218 g were distributed to treatment groups stratified by body weight among the dose and control groups . For both the 14-day and the 90-day studies, body weights were recorded twice during the acclimation period and weekly for the duration of the study. Feed […]
