Newest firstBackground/Objectives: Current literature regarding the efficacy of cannabis to reduce chronic pain intensity is mixed. Despite growing accessibility throughout the U.S., it is still unclear if the naturalistic use of recreational cannabis edible products is associated with decreases in pain intensity on days of use or longitudinally, and if these associations are dependent on the doses of delta-9-tetrahydrocannab…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabidiol (CBD) is widely perceived as a safe and effective treatment for a growing list of health indications and use for general wellness. Evidence for its safety and efficacy comes from a variety of sources, including preclinical studies, clinical trials, and observational studies of real-world evidence. The challenge in interpreting these data is that CBD products are diverse with respect to format, formulat…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction Cannabis, which contains cannabinoids delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), has become the third-most-commonly used psychoactive substance in the United States. The legal market has grown alongside the increase in adult cannabis use, resulting in greater availability of products with a wide range of THC and CBD content. One of the most consistently observed cognitive effects of can…
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…
In utero cannabis exposure can disrupt fetal development and increase risk for various behavioral disruptions, including hyperactivity, inattention, delinquent behaviors, and later substance abuse, among others. This review summarizes the findings from contemporary investigations linking prenatal cannabis exposure to the development of psychopathology and identifies the limitations within the literature, which con…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis and health research continue to largely ignore the usage patterns, perceptions, and medically related use in Spanish-speaking communities. The primary aim of this study was to collect data among Spanish-speaking communities on cannabis use that specifically characterizes granular demographic information, medically motivated and recreational use patterns including potency of products, medical motivations f…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction: Policies regarding cannabis use are rapidly evolving in the United States as exemplified by the legalization of recreational use in 11 states and the District of Columbia. Previous cannabis-related laws, however, disproportionately targeted communities of color before legalization, and many argue new policies are not being developed with the input of minority stakeholders postlegalization. Given that…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background: The use of cannabis concentrate is dramatically rising and sparking major safety concerns. Cannabis concentrate contains tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) potencies up to 90%, yet there has been little research on motor impairment after concentrate use (commonly referred to as "dabbing"). This study measured postural control and motor speed after the use of high potency concentrates in males and females. Meth…
Open article record in new tab ↗In recent years of expanding legalization, older adults have reported the largest increase in cannabis use of any age group. While its use has been studied extensively in young adults, little is known about the effects of THC in older adults and whether the risks of cannabis might be different, particularly concerning intoxication and cognition. The current study investigated whether age is associated with the del…
Open article record in new tab ↗Objectives The Timeline Followback (TLFB) was originally developed to assess alcohol consumption patterns (American Journal of Public Health, 86, 1996, 966) and has been increasingly modified for Web-based use. Additionally, new modes of substance use administration have emerged, creating a need for an adaptable TLFB tool than can capture data such as cannabis product potency or prescription drug use. Our goal was…
Open article record in new tab ↗Scientific literature examining cannabis use in the context of health behaviors, such as exercise engagement, is extremely sparse and has yielded inconsistent findings. This issue is becoming increasingly relevant as cannabis legalization continues, a situation that has been associated with increased initiation of use among adults, and increased potency of available products in legalized states. Physical activity…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background: The development of novel cannabis research methods that are compatible with current federal regulations is imperative to conduct studies of the effects of legal market cannabis. There is very little research on higher strength, higher Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which has become increasingly available since legalization. Research on strains containing cannabidiol (CBD), a second primary, but nonpsyc…
