Specifically, we aimed to overview historical traditional contexts physical mental health-related correlates, as well emerging cannabis-related policies their impacts on medicinal recreational cannabis. In addition, discuss how factors may affect behaviours sociocultural underpinnings disorder trajectories. Recent Findings Cannabis is the most widely cultivated, trafficked, used illicit drug worldwide, although being legalised in many jurisdictions. More than 4% individuals globally have last year. Being traditionally for religious ritualistic purposes, today interwoven with, influenced by, social, legal, economic, environments which often differ countries cultures. Notably, empirical data distinct are lacking selected underrepresented countries, geographical regions, minority Summary Emerging global legislative frameworks related impacted prevalence attitudes toward subcultures, but not all same way. Therefore, it remains be elucidated why cultures terms use. order understand complex bidirectional relationships between cultures, recommend cross-cultural study its consequences inform vulnerable people, clinical practitioners, legislators from world regions.

Cannabis use is common, especially among young people, and associated with risks for various health harms. Some jurisdictions have recently moved to legalization/regulation pursuing public goals. Evidence-based 'Lower Risk Use Guidelines' (LRCUG) recommendations were previously developed reduce modifiable risk factors of cannabis-related adverse outcomes; related evidence has evolved substantially since. We aimed review new scientific develop comprehensively up-to-date LRCUG, including their recommendations, on this basis. Targeted searches literature (since 2016) main outcomes by the user-individual conducted. Topical areas informed previous LRCUG content expanded upon current evidence. Searches preferentially focused systematic reviews, supplemented key individual studies. The results evidence-graded, topically organized narratively summarized; through an iterative expert consensus development process. A substantial body cannabis use-related harms identified varying quality. Twelve substantive recommendation clusters three precautionary statements developed. In general, suggests that individuals can if they delay onset until after adolescence, avoid high-potency (THC) products high-frequency/-intensity use, refrain from smoking-routes administration. While people are particularly vulnerable harms, other sub-groups (e.g., pregnant women, drivers, older adults, those co-morbidities) advised exercise particular caution risks. Legal/regulated should be used where possible. result in outcomes, mostly higher-risk use. Reducing help offer one targeted intervention component within a comprehensive approach They require effective audience-tailoring dissemination, regular updating as become available, evaluated impact.

The aim of this review is to discuss the most recent evidence for short-term and long-term effects cannabis on cognition. that intoxication associated with impairment across several basal cognitive domains, including learning (episodic) memory, attentional control, motor inhibition increasing. However, regarding heavy use cognition remains equivocal. Cannabis research suffers from difficulties in measuring exposure history, poor control over potential subacute effects, heterogeneity measures sample composition. Multidisciplinary collaborations investment studies help overcome these should be prioritized.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a detrimental brain disorder characterized by gradual cognitive decline and neuronal deterioration. To date, the treatments available are effective only in early stage of disease. The AD etiology has not been completely revealed, investigating new pathological mechanisms essential for developing safe drugs. recreational pharmacological properties marijuana known centuries, but recently scientific community started to investigate potential use cannabinoids therapy—sometimes with contradictory outcomes. Since endocannabinoid system (ECS) highly expressed hippocampus cortex, cannabis use/abuse often associated memory learning dysfunction vulnerable individuals. However, latest findings rodent models have shown promising effects reducing amyloid plaque deposition stimulating hippocampal neurogenesis. Beneficial on several dementia-related symptoms also reported clinical trials after cannabinoid treatments. Accordingly, future studies should address identifying correct therapeutic dosage timing treatment from perspective using therapy. present paper aims summarize limitations as therapeutics AD, focusing recent pre-clinical evidence.

Abstract Background Epidemiological studies show a dose–response association between cannabis use and the risk of psychosis. This review aimed to determine whether there are identifiable risk-thresholds frequency psychosis development. Methods Systematic search Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web Science for relevant (1 January 2010–26 April 2021). Case–control or cohort that investigated relationship development reported effect estimates [odds ratios (OR), hazard (HR), (RR)] raw data calculate them, with information on consumption were included. Effect extracted from individual converted RR. Two-stage multivariable meta-analytic models utilized sensitivity analyses conducted. The Newcastle Ottawa Scale was used assess bias included studies. Results Ten original (three cohorts, seven case–control) included, including 7390 participants an age range 12–65 years. Random-effect model meta-analyses showed significant log-linear A restricted cubic-splines provided best fit data, significantly increasing weekly more frequent [RR = 1.01, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.93–1.11 yearly; RR 1.10, CI 0.97–1.25 monthly; 1.35, 1.19–1.52 weekly; 1.76, 1.47–2.12 daily] Conclusion Individuals using frequently at increased psychosis, no associated less use. Public health prevention messages should convey these risk-thresholds, which be refined through further work.

This review summarizes evidence on the effects of cannabis use development adolescents and young adults. It draws epidemiological studies, neuroimaging case-control twin Mendelian randomization studies. The acute risks include psychiatric symptoms associated with high THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) products motor vehicle accidents. Daily during adolescence is dependence poor cognitive function, which may affect educational attainment occupational choice. highly potent more severe psychological symptoms, such as psychoses, mania, suicidality. There are mixed findings depressive anxiety, violence debates about interpretation these associations. Legalization adult increase among regulation after legalization needs to minimize adolescent uptake cannabis-related adverse developmental outcomes.
