The names of workers have been altered in order to protect the anonymity and confidentiality of respondents
While there are many studies that focus on cannabis consumers – health outcomes and public safety issues related to the legalization and use of cannabis – little attention has been paid to workers in the industry.The small amount of occupational safety and health literature that does exist regarding the cannabis industry focuses on the biological, chemical,…
The self-reported use further indicates the need to study cannabis to understand its potential risks versus benefits
The lack of significant adverse effects in this study encourages further investigation into the use of cannabis-based interventions including CBD to treat chronic SCD pain in prospective trials with a larger cohort over a longer duration.Questionnaire-based approaches have provided insight into the prevalence of cannabis use in the SCD community, and these studies have given first-hand…
Vasoactive SP and CGRP lead to neurogenic inflammation by stimulating vascular permeability in sickle mice
Alternatively, subtle mood dysregulation may be a risk-factor for riskier cannabis use consumption.Proposed theories accounting for these functional and behavioral differences in cannabis users may have multiple underlying etiologies.Chronic young adult cannabis users demonstrate abnormal CB1 receptor density in the ACC ; thus, frequent cannabis use may influence continued white matter myelination and gray matter pruning…

The molecular alterations were consistent with the observed phenotypes, as stress exposure induced anxiety like behavior in offspring with pre-gestational WIN exposure, compared to controls without pre-gestational WIN exposure. The epigenetic changes in the offspring could have been due to direct epigenetic modifications on the sperm or testes, as well as related to disruptions in the…
Diabetes and cDSPN were controlled for in our statistical model and the effect of long-term cannabis use persisted
In Pearson-Dennett et al.’s study the average population age was between 24 and 25 years; however, in our study the average population was 45.4 years and any subtle walking gait changes observed in younger individuals may become more significant with aging due to age related changes in postural control, leading to balance disturbances. We also found that…
