Cannabis is the most frequently used illicit drug in United States with more than 45 million users of whom one-third suffer from a cannabis use disorder (CUD). Despite its high prevalence, there are currently no FDA-approved medications for CUD. Patients treated semaglutide, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) approved treating type 2 diabetes (T2D) and weight management have reported reduced desire to drink smoke.

During the past decade, there has been extraordinary public, media, and medical research interest in psychedelics as promising therapeutics for difficult-to-treat psychiatric disorders. Short-term controlled trial data suggest that certain are effective safe treatment of major depressive disorder, treatment-resistant depression, posttraumatic stress disorder. Preliminary evidence also supports efficacy other disorders (e.g., tobacco alcohol use disorders). Notwithstanding promise psychedelics, concerns have arisen with respect to interpretability translatability study results.

Abstract The legalization of cannabis for medical and recreational purposes has progressed internationally. Cannabis cannabinoids are advocated a plethora indications. An increasing number nonmedical users regularly consume large doses delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main active component cannabis. Aim: to summarize evidence on (1) risks use (2) effectiveness safety medicinal Findings use: is mostly used experience its acute rewarding effects. Regular high THC products can produce addiction (cannabis disorder or CUD). Acute consumption (including unintentionally) cause time-limited mental, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular problems motor vehicle accidents. Chronic patterns have been associated with multiple adverse outcomes that particular concern among adolescents young adults, such as, disrupted learning, impaired cognitive performance, reduced educational attainment an increased risk CUD, psychosis/schizophrenia, mood anxiety disorders suicidal behaviors. There debate about extent which these outcomes. Physical health (e.g., respiratory cardiovascular, prematurity restricted fetal growth, hyperemesis syndrome others) also linked repeated content. Herbal cannabis, medicines from extracted synthetized cannabinoids—often as adjuvants standard medicines—may small modest benefits. This primarily case in treating chronic pain, muscle spasticity, chemotherapy-induced nausea vomiting, refractory epilepsy (in cannabidiol, CBD). inconclusive their value mental other conditions. Safety: Cannabis-based medicine generally well tolerated. mild moderate effects CUD.

However, little is known about the characteristics and frequency potential cannabis-drug (CDIs) drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in CUD. Therefore, our study aimed to determine prevalence drug CUD during inpatient treatment on an addiction-specific ward over a six-year-period.

Abstract Background Epidemiologic research suggests that youth cannabis use is associated with psychotic disorders. However, current evidence based heavily on 20th-century data when was substantially less potent than today. Methods We linked population-based survey from 2009 to 2012 records of health services covered under universal healthcare in Ontario, Canada, up 2018. The cohort included respondents aged 12–24 years at baseline no prior disorder ( N = 11 363). primary outcome days first hospitalization, ED visit, or outpatient visit related a according validated diagnostic codes. Due non-proportional hazards, we estimated age-specific hazard ratios during adolescence (12–19 years) and young adulthood (20–33 years). Sensitivity analyses explored alternative model conditions including restricting the hospitalizations visits increase specificity. Results Compared use, significantly disorders (aHR 11.2; 95% CI 4.6–27.3), but not 1.3; 0.6–2.6).

Global cannabis use has risen 23% since 2010, with 209 million reported users, most of whom are males reproductive age. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive phytocannabinoid in cannabis, disrupts pro-homeostatic functions endocannabinoid system (ECS) within male system. The ECS is highly involved regulating morpho-functional and intrinsic sperm features that required for fertilization pre-implantation embryo development. Previous work by our group demonstrated THC altered capacitation transcriptome, including several fertility-associated microRNAs (miRs). Despite prevalent among age, clinical pre-clinical research investigating impact paternal on function outcomes artificial technologies (ARTs) remains inconclusive. Therefore, present study investigates vitro exposure functions, contributions to development following IVF.
