Newest firstIntroductionCompulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) and problematic pornography use (PPU) frequently co-occur with substance use disorders, yet their associations with specific substances in non-clinical populations remain poorly understood. The present study examined associations between alcohol and cannabis use severity and CSBD and PPU symptoms in a non-clinical adult sample.MethodsEligible adults were invit…
Open article record in new tab ↗As the global population ages, the need for effective interventions to support cognitive health in older adults is growing. Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating component of cannabis, has emerged as a potential neuroprotective agent due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anxiolytic properties. While preclinical studies show promising effects on hippocampal neurogenesis and cognitive performance, human tri…
Open article record in new tab ↗Accurate assessment of substance use is essential in public health, clinical, and research settings. While self-reports are widely used, they are prone to biases such as social desirability and recall errors. Objective biological measures, such as hair toxicology, offer a longer detection window and may improve data validity. This study examined the concordance between self-reported substance use and hair toxicolo…
Background Products containing cannabidiol (CBD) are attracting attention because of their potential therapeutic benefits and positive impacts on well-being and mental health. Although additional research is needed to understand their effectiveness in treating mental disorders, cross-sectional studies may help identify the factors influencing CBD use patterns. This study examined the impact of variables such as he…
Background While research has consistently identified an association between long-term cannabis use and memory impairments, few studies have examined this relationship in a polydrug context (i.e., when combining cannabis with other substances). Aims: In this preliminary study, we used event-related potentials to examine the recognition process in a visual episodic memory task in cannabis users (CU) and cannabis po…
Background: Impairments in various subdomains of memory have been associated with chronic cannabis use, but less is known about their neural underpinnings, especially in the domain of the brain's oscillatory activity. Aims: To investigate neural oscillatory activity supporting working memory (WM) in regular cannabis users and non-using controls. We focused our analyses on frontal midline theta and posterior alpha…
