A public health framework would seek to minimize consumption through public health regulations and public education, and create a social and legal environment modeled on California’s tobacco control program, which discourages the use of tobacco and protects nonusers from secondhand exposure. Through government regulation and market intervention, a strong public health framework would prevent a wealthy…

The Code of Federal Regulations does not provide an adequate solution for how this drug should be stored
Given the diverse nature of cannabis and cannabinoid research, differences in state laws, and varied institutional regulations, every scientist will likely have a unique experience when initiating cannabis and cannabinoid work. In fact, with rapid changes in oversight and regulations, one cannot necessarily predict how to navigate regulatory hurdles for future studies based on one’s…
Bivariate table of change in percent share of production and operations
To varying degrees, every region of California decreased in percent share of the state’s total production, except for the San Joaquin Valley. Even if these other regions did increase their actual production rates, they still fell in percent share of the total because the large increase in milk production in the San Joaquin Valley outweighed…
The physical geography of the state creates diverse landscapes that fosters agricultural productivity
Cannabis dependency may also increase, which has been linked to other substance use, depression and low satisfaction with life. We found the number of days of cannabis use increased on average from 11 days pre-legalization to 13 days post-legalization, which may reflect movement toward cannabis abuse and dependency. A study in California found a link…
The survey asked detailed questions about tobacco and cannabis use patterns and modalities
Statistical tests confirm this trend. Existing farms that applied for permits displayed a mean expansion of 212 plants between 2012 and 2016, while the mean expansion for farms that did not apply was 130 plants . This difference of 82 plants is significant at the 1% level. Our regression results also find expansion associated with…
Cannabis research is also inhibited by funding constraints
Surveys of local populations: The U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics has conducted a National Crime Victimization Survey since 1973. This survey asks a representative sample of the national population about the frequency, characteristics and consequences of crimes they have experienced. This survey allows the Bureau to estimate the likelihood of victimization for certain subsets of…
Whatever effect these groups may have on crime is not captured by the present study
Although they are not of particular theoretical interest, the following measures are included as demographic control variables: population size, percent of the population that is male, and percent of land that is commercially zoned. Population size and gender composition are adapted from the 2010 Census. “Percent of land commercially zoned” was calculated in ArcGIS using…
One model of distribution that has proliferated in recent years is the medical cannabis dispensary
California legalized medical cannabis through a 1996 ballot initiative known as Proposition 215 . Prop 215 protects physicians who recommend medical cannabis as well as those qualified patients and caregivers who cultivate, possess, and use cannabis with a valid recommendation. The word “dispensary”, however, does not appear in the law. To this day, dispensaries in…
We used LC-MS to quantify the amount of substrate consumed by the reaction compared to the standard curve
From these initial observations we constructed a focused library with all but one of the constructs in the second library exhibiting activity at least 100-fold higher than WT NphB in an endpoint assay . The best two constructs, M23 and M31, exhibited dramatically improved activity and specificity. Both had kcat values 1000-fold higher than WT…
The next sections summarize third-generation bike sharing in the three main regions of the world
Though bike sharing began as a way to reduce motor vehicle use, Bonnette indicates that “both the first and second generation bike sharing schemes provided welcome opportunities to cycle but did not provide adequate enough support nor reliable service to alter motorized transportation choices and influence people to make significant changes .” The shortcomings of second-generation systems later…
