Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug during pregnancy [2], and among some populations, it is used more frequently than tobacco [3, 4]. Although the prevalence of cannabis use during pregnancy is difficult to ascertain with accuracy, [...]

Patricia Schonhofen, Ivi Juliana Bristot, José Alexandre Crippa, Jaime Eduardo Cecilio Hallak, Antonio Waldo Zuardi, Richard B. Parsons, Fabio Klamt CNS Drugs, 2018, 32 (Suppl 1), 1-16 https///doi.org/10.1007/s40263-018-0550-4 Abstract : The endocannabinoid retrograde signaling pathway is widely expressed in the central nervous system, where it plays major roles in regulating synaptic plasticity (excitatory and inhibitory) through long-term potentiation and long-term depression. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) components-cannabinoid receptors, endocannabinoids and synthesis/degradation enzymes-are expressed and are functional from early developmental stages and throughout adolescent cortical development, regulating progenitor cell fate, neural [...]
Lire la suiteReducing the risks of drug use: The case for set and setting PHIL DALGARNO & DAVID SHEWAN Addiction Research and Theory, 2005, 13, 3, 259–265 Abstract : The central proposition of this article is that if people are thoughtful, well-prepared and aware of the means and best environments for using a particular drug, then the risks associated with the use of a particular drug – any drug – can be minimal. The types of drugs discussed in this context focus on those assumed to be the most ‘addictive’ – heroin and cocaine – to those less well-known but potentially more hazardous to use without [...]

Shedlin Addiction Research & Theory, 2018 https://doi.org/10.1080/16066359.2018.1455187 ABSTRACT Background : The ceremonial use of psychoactive/hallucinogenic plant based drugs, such as ayahuasca, psilocybin and others, is a growing trend in the United States (US) and globally. To date, there has been little research documenting how many people are using psychoactive substances in this context, who the users are, what benefits/risks exist in the use of these drugs and the relationship between ceremonial drug use and recreational drug use. In this paper we describe a [...]

Beckley Foundation, 2017. https://beckleyfoundation.org/resource/cannabidiol-inhibits-thc-elicited-paranoid-symptoms-and-hippocampal-dependent-memory-impairment/ Abstract Community-based studies suggest that cannabis products that are high in delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) but low in cannabidiol (CBD) are particularly hazardous for mental health. Laboratory-based studies are ideal for clarifying this issue because THC and CBD can be administered in pure form, under controlled conditions. In a between-subjects design, we tested the hypothesis that pre-treatment with CBD inhibited THC-elicited psychosis and cognitive impairment. Healthy participants were [...]
