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 […]
These prior studies suggested that MI can improve MH treatment initiation in veterans
We included measures of employment indicating whether respondents were employed, temporarily unemployed or seeking work, or part of a residual category that included retirees, students, and stay-at-home spouses or partners. The study was approved as exempt by the UCSF institutional review board on July 16, 2016. The 2016 survey contained 3,058 respondents. Weighted probabilities of […]
It is important to highlight that the network traffic in these systems is typically nonuniform
The ECP also helps the missions of other agencies like the National Institutes of Health , National Science Foundation , National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Such large-scale systems require interconnections between thousands of computing nodes. Traditional networks offer fixed links where optical fibers connect electronic packet switches […]
Crime and criminals are subjective, spatially delineated and historically contingent categories
They are not, nor ever have been, pre-determined or natural classifications. As laws, land use regulations, as well as national and local power relations shift, so do the definitions of crimes and criminals . Thus, remote sensing cannot detect crime as it might detect a stand of a certain tree species: crimes, their perpetrators and […]
Many arrestees who test positive for cannabis also test positive for alcohol or other drugs
These findings, while far from definitive, do not suggest a clear and direct link between cannabis use and crime. This makes it difficult for researchers to infer the extent to which a certain behaviors can be attributed to specific substances. Furthermore, because of the way that marijuana is metabolized by the human body, positive tests […]
A prenylated product like CBGA can be converted into a variety of cannabinoids
Shoyoma et al published the chemical shifts of CBGVA in CD3OD, so by direct comparison of our NMR spectra to the published chemical shifts we conclude that we produced CBGVA. This is further supported by the work conducted by Bohlmann, which suggests that if the prenylation occurred at the C5 site, we would observe a proton […]
Resveratrol is an aromatic polyketide first isolated from the skin of red grapes
Terpene synthases catalyze the cyclization of the hydrocarbon moiety of isoprenoids to yield cyclized hydrocarbons. While terpene synthases generally have one major product, they are fairly promiscuous and can produce several different terpenes with one enzyme. For example, the humulene synthase from Abies grandis species mainly produces humulene, but also produces 51 additional sesquiterpenes at […]
Cannabis smoking may also lead to increased rates of pneumonia and upper respiratory infections
The NASEM, CDPHE, and WHO reports state there is substantial evidence of a statistical association between marijuana smoking and worse respiratory symptoms and more frequent chronic bronchitis episodes. These data were based primarily on a systematic review by Tetrault et al. from 14 studies that assessed the association between long-term cannabis smoking respiratory symptoms including chronic […]
