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…

Additional research in this area is needed to better inform treatment interventions
Findings from this online survey of veterans recruited from a pro-marijuana legalization listserv showed that MC users had more PTSD symptoms and greater combat exposure than RC veterans as well as lower levels of alcohol use.Veteran research can greatly inform federal and state cannabis-related policies, which are in constant flux yet shifting toward more tolerant practices…
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…
Findings suggest increased amygdala volume in female users compared to female non-users
Future research might better characterize the legislative goals of the cannabis industry using additional review of campaign expenditures, legislative testimony, and using key informant interviews. According to the 2011 Monitoring the Future Study, marijuana remains the most commonly used illicit drug in adolescence in the United States, one of few increasing in prevalence. In fact,…
Non-infectious pulmonary diagnoses were more common in both marijuana and tobacco smokers
Participants were followed until their first incident diagnosis, loss to follow-up, death, or end of study in 2014, whichever came first. For each outcome, models were fit separately for HIV+ and HIV− participants using two time-varying variables for marijuana and tobacco smoking: Model 1, current marijuana smoking and prior two-year average tobacco smoking , and Model 2,…
The tone of media coverage of cannabis-related issues also becomes more favorable
In other words, the federal government acknowledged the states’ lead in matters related to drug enforcement and allowed them to treat cannabis as a regulatory rather than a criminal matter . Several groups opposed the legalization of the recreational use of cannabis, the strongest of which were the pharmaceutical and alcohol industries, police unions, private…
The designation of cannabis as a Schedule I drug was supposed to be a temporary measure
The difference between lived experience and official anti-cannabis propaganda raised a general skepticism toward state authority . Considering the growing awareness about the harmful effects of alcohol and tobacco consumption, the draconian measures against cannabis looked increasingly arbitrary and unreasonable. Cannabis supporters believed that prohibitory policies violated their constitutional rights to privacy and freedom of…
One agriculturalist reported receiving death threats after selling water to cannabis cultivators
At the 2018 town hall, and numerous prior meetings, they emphasized their status as legitimate community members — veterans, citizens, consumers of county goods, local property owners, “good” growers and medical users — not nuisances, criminals, foreigners or outsiders. In interviews and public forums many Hmong-American cultivators expressed a desire to comply with the rules.…
We hesitate to speculate about the potential role of these genes in the etiology of cannabis use disorders
The genes that surpassed gene-based correction were C17orf58, BPTF and PPM1D. PPM1D is in a region of chromosome 17 that is well documented to be amplified in breast cancer , and the gene itself belongs to a family of serine/threonine phosphatases that are involved in stress signaling . On the other hand, BPTF was originally…
A good agreement has been found between the experimental and numerical results of Glass/ Hemp
The experimental and simulation result of tensile tests of the different specimen has been displayed, as shown in Fig. 4. The simulation results have been calculated based on the input mechanical properties of the different fibers, which are listed in Table 1. Figure 4 shows the tensile load versus displacement curve. It is clear that…
