"Long-term effects of cannabis"

Short and Long-Term Effects of Cannabis on Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Many individuals use cannabis to manage symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and evidence indicates that the endocannabinoid system represents a viable target for treating these symptoms. Data from 404 medical cannabis users who self-identified as having PTSD were obtained from Strainprint®

Long-Term Effects of Cannabis on Brain Structure. The dose-dependent toxicity of the main psychoactive component of cannabis in brain regions rich in cannabinoid CB1 receptors is well known in animal studies. However, research in humans does not show common findings across studies regarding the brain regions that are affected after long-term exposure to cannabis. In the present study, we

clinical trials supporting cannabis to treat PTSD. Some patients with PTSD may report experiencing short-term symptom relief when using cannabis, but PTSD symptom reduction did not differ between Veterans randomized to cannabis versus placebo in the only extant RCT. The long-term effects of cannabis use in Veterans with PTSD remain unclear. Some Veterans may experience worsening PTSD symptoms

reason for use. As the legal cannabis market evolves, these trends may also evolve, and this research should be ongoing to better understand the long-term effects of cannabis legalization. Other areas worth exploring are the impact of legalization on alcohol-related outcomes (such as hospitalizations), including among specific subgroups, and the impact of proximity to cannabis stores and alcohol stores -term effects of cannabis legalization.

cannabis was similar to that in the placebo group (18.21 cm versus 18.26 cm).33 These observations illustrate the differential short-term effect of THC and CBD on cognition. Evidence also suggests that the short-term effects of cannabinoids are transient and can be influenced by the development of tolerance and the use of other drugs.The long-term effect of cannabis on cognition, however, is less well

Case Report: Catastrophic Effects of Using Cannabis Via Bucket Bong in Top End Northern Territory of Australia. The prevalence of cannabis usage is increasing worldwide, including among both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. The long-term effects of cannabis use on the lungs are well-known. However, the acute adverse effects on the lungs are sparsely reported. There are different ways

capturing within-person changes suggest that cannabis use is linked with greater severity of trauma-related intrusion symptoms over time. A strong person-level directional association between PTSD and CUD was evident. Findings have significant clinical implications for the long-term effects of cannabis use among individuals with PTSD.

Clinical Profiles of Concurrent Cannabis Use in Chronic Pain: A CHOIR Study. Despite evidence of the analgesic benefits of cannabis, there remains a relative scarcity of research on the short- and long-term effects of cannabis use in individuals with chronic pain. The current study is a secondary analysis of clinical data from the Collaborative Health Outcomes Information Registry (CHOIR). Data

of addiction proposed by Koob and Volkow. The model proposes that repeated substance abuse drives neurobiological changes in the brain that can be separated into three distinct stages, each of which perpetuates the cycle of addiction. Here we review previous research on the acute and long-term effects of cannabis use on the brain and behavior, and find that the three-stage framework of addiction applies

on the cardiovascular system in humans. The investigators have data from cell culture and small animal studies that cannabis is toxic to the cardiovascular system. Recently legalized in Canada, the long-term effects of cannabis use on the cardiovascular system may not be apparent for several decades. The purpose of this study is to test the effect of cannabis use on the vascular system. Using a non-invasive test

in modulating the gut microbiome and immune system, which have been found to be disrupted by alcohol. However, it is also possible that cannabinoids, specifically delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), may confer harms in heavy drinkers by enhancing the intoxicating effects of alcohol. The current study will be the first to explore the acute and long-term effects of cannabis on alcohol use and neurobehavioral

Assessing Topographical Orientation Skills in Cannabis Users The long-term effects of cannabis on human cognition are still unclear, but, considering that cannabis is a widely used substance and, overall, its potential use in therapeutic interventions, it is important to evaluate them. We hypothesize that the discrepancies among studies could be attributed to the specific cognitive function

(OR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.03, 3.49). As 3 years is a relative short period of follow-up, long-term effects of cannabis use on mania outcomes could not be detected. The results suggest that cannabis use may affect population expression of manic symptoms (and subsequent risk to develop bipolar disorder [Regeer, E.J., Krabbendam, L., R, DE Graaf, Ten Have, M., Nolen, W.A., Van Os, J., 2006.
