Newest firstReliable and traceable quantification of cannabinoids is essential for forensic, regulatory, and quality control applications involving cannabis-derived products. However, the limited availability of certified reference materials (CRMs), particularly for minor cannabinoids such as cannabinol (CBN), remains a major analytical challenge. In this work, an integrated analytical and preparative strategy is presented fo…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Substance use among university students in Ghana is a pressing concern, with pronounced sex differences yet poorly characterised determinants. This study examined factors associated with lifetime alcohol, tobacco and cannabis use among undergraduate students, with explicit attention to sex-specific patterns. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to March 2023 at the University for D…
Open article record in new tab ↗This research letter compared the prevalence of qualifying conditions among patients certified to use medical cannabis in Florida to population-based prevalence estimates for the same conditions and observed marked discrepancies. These findings highlight conditions that appear to be significant reasons for patients to consider medical cannabis, providing important research priorities for future research on its eff…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundCannabis use disorder affects a substantial proportion of the population and is often accompanied by mental health comorbidities, including depressive symptoms and problematic Internet use (PIU). This study explores the association between PIU and depressive symptoms among adults at high-risk of cannabis use disorder, a relationship insufficiently explored despite the high prevalence of these conditions…
Objective The objective of this study was to examine whether cannabis exposure calls to the British Columbia Drug and Poison Information Centre (DPIC) were impacted by the legalization of non-medical cannabis in Canada. Methods We fit interrupted time series models to monthly counts of cannabis cases from 2013 to 2021, stratified by age and cannabis form. We set the intervention month to October 2018 legalization…
Dyadic coping among sexual minority men (SMM) has been a focus of HIV prevention research for decades, but few studies have examined relationship quality as a covariate of HIV care cascade outcomes (ART adherence and an undetectable viral load (VL)). This study utilized a 5-category relationship status variable (single; non-monogamous, sero-discordant; non-monogamous, sero-concordant; monogamous, sero-discordant;…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Cannabis use is increasingly common among collegiate athletes. While acute tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) effects are well documented, the chronic impact on game-speed cognition, defined as the ability to perceive, decide, and act within sub-second windows, remains poorly quantified. The current study examined whether chronic THC use degrades football specific game-speed cognition and reaction times. Method…
Open article record in new tab ↗Obesity is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat and is a major risk factor for various diseases, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. This study investigated the anti-obesity effects of cannabigerol-dominant C. sativa inflorescence extracts (CEs) obtained using various ethanol concentrations. The extracts were analyzed by UPLC to determin…
Cannabis use increases the risk of psychosis, but cannabis-based medicinal products may provide additional therapeutic opportunities. Decriminalisation of cannabis has led to wider availability in certain jurisdictions, while in the UK regulated medicinal preparations are not readily accessible. A more balanced approach could reduce harms while maximising potential therapeutic benefits.
Open article record in new tab ↗Objective To evaluate trends in CHS hospitalizations in Canada, including their frequency and individual characteristics. Methods This study utilized data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information's Discharge Abstract Database to perform descriptive data analysis and employed JoinPoint Trend Analysis Software to analyze annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC) in hospitalizatio…
Open article record in new tab ↗Purpose Nicotine and cannabis are commonly co-used among adolescents and young adults (AYAs). Same session co-use has more negative effects than co-use that does not overlap. Little is known about how or why these products are used within the same session. Enhanced understanding of this behavior pattern can be leveraged to reduce co-use in this population. Methods Connecticut AYAs (15-20 years old) who self-report…
Open article record in new tab ↗Hemp is a high-yield crop traditionally cultivated for fiber used in products such as paper, textiles, ropes, and animal bedding, and more recently for sustainable applications in biofuels, insulation, and bioplastics. Beyond fiber, hemp is rich in phytochemicals. More than 500 compounds including cannabinoids, terpenes, phenolics, phytosterols, and tocopherols are accumulated in leaves, flowers, and seeds, which…
Open article record in new tab ↗Although random assignment is the standard for drawing causal inferences within clinical trials, it is generally precluded in legal market cannabis research given its federal classification as a schedule 1 drug. Unfortunately, this may cause selection bias and compromise internal validity, and thus, alternative approaches are necessary. One such approach in this context, as well as more broadly, is quasi-random as…
Open article record in new tab ↗The objective of this study was to explore non-aqueous spray-freeze-drying (SFD) as a formulation strategy to stabilize and improve the dissolution of Cannabis sativa full extracts. The medicinal use of Cannabis sativa has strongly intensified over the last decade. Here, Cannabis flos full extracts prepared by tert-butanolic solutions with 25% solid content were directly processed via spray-freeze-drying (SFD) wit…
Open article record in new tab ↗Purpose: The purpose of this study was to estimate the short-term pre-post change in cannabis risk knowledge after a brief curriculum-integrated school intervention delivered under routine educational conditions. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental single-group pre-post study without a control group in a secondary education setting (n = 151; ages 15-17). Intervention Three standardized 1 h classroom sessions de…

Open article record in new tab ↗Phytocannabinoids have received attention for their therapeutic properties, however, it is unclear how they affect bone homeostasis. Additionally, increased use of cannabis and hemp-derived products have raised questions about their impact on musculoskeletal health. This review summarizes recent studies that investigate the impact of phytocannabinoids on bone. The most well studied phytocannabinoid in relation to…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Predicting progression from substance use to substance use disorder (SUD) is challenging, particularly for participants with cannabis and stimulant use who follow distinct risk trajectories. Machine learning enables integration of demographic, behavioral, wearable-derived, and social determinants of health (SDoH) data, yet few studies have compared linear and non-linear approaches in large, diverse popu…
