Newest firstAbstract Introduction: Studies have shown that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) consumption can acutely increase heart rate (HR) regardless of the percent concentration of the product consumed, mode of consumption (e.g. flower, edibles, concentrate), and tolerance. Prior studies have found that the magnitude of this effect is slightly larger in inhaled products, however few purposeful studies on HR response to commercia…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background In Colorado, regulations for recreational and medical cannabis sales require tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration is printed on all products. Labeled THC concentrations can vary by +/-15% of what is in the product. Studies show THC concentrations recorded on product labels are not always reflective of the THC concentration in the cannabis product and there is evidence consumers make purchasing decis…
Open article record in new tab ↗The increase of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in breath after cannabis inhalation has been well-documented in the forensic field, but the trends after ingestion of cannabis-infused edibles have not yet been investigated. In this study, participants ingested a cannabis-infused edible and provided breath samples before and at three timepoints after ingestion. Participants were assigned to one of two breath sampling…
Open article record in new tab ↗Aims Progressive legalization of medical and recreational cannabis markets at the state-level has led to rapid growth of medical and recreational cannabis markets and to product diversification with emerging products having high concentrations of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. Research on these products is still limited and the evidence available for policy formulation is diminished by methodological limitations. M…
As cannabis products become increasingly accessible and novel modes of administration like dabbing and vaping gain popularity, understanding how these modes impact use experiences and abuse liability is crucial. Existing studies primarily utilized laboratory settings with lower-potency research-grade cannabis, failing to capture common modes among individuals who use higher-potency legal market products. This stud…
Open article record in new tab ↗Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) is the most prominent and main psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis. In forensic matters involving cannabis, such as drugged driving or workplace accident investigations, blood Δ9-THC determination is typically required. Venipuncture by a phlebotomist at a medical facility is often the standard blood collection protocol, but this procedure is time consuming and requires speci…

Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction Given the traffic safety and occupational injury prevention implications associated with cannabis impairment, there is a need for objective and validated measures of recent cannabis use. Pupillary light response may offer an approach for detection. Method Eighty-four participants (mean age: 32, 42% female) with daily, occasional, and no-use cannabis use histories participated in pupillary light respon…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Acute cannabis use has been demonstrated to slow reaction time and affect decision-making and short-term memory. These effects may have utility in identifying impairment associated with recent use. However, these effects have not been widely investigated among individuals with a pattern of daily use, who may have acquired tolerance. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of tolerance to can…
Cannabinoids can be detected in breath after cannabis use, but different breath matrices need to be explored as studies to date with filter-based devices that collect breath aerosols have not demonstrated that breath-based measurements can reliably identify recent cannabis use. Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is an unexplored aqueous breath matrix that contains condensed volatile compounds and water vapor in addit…
