TL;DR: Using a five‐step modified Delphi process, consensus‐based recommendations are developed on when and how to safely initiate and titrate cannabinoids in the presence of opioids and what to monitor patients and evaluate outcomes when treating with opioids and cannabinoids.

Assessment of Incorporation of Lessons From Tobacco Control in City and County Laws Regulating Legal Marijuana in California.
TL;DR: It is found that jurisdictions differed widely in how they regulated marijuana and that key public health recommendations and lessons from tobacco control have generally not been adopted, although local innovation is emerging.

Perceived prevalence of peer marijuana use: changes among college students before and after Oregon recreational marijuana legalization.
TL;DR: Given the association between descriptive norms and personal use, RML-related increases in descriptive norms among non-using students could contribute to future marijuana use initiation and may be one mechanism linking RML with higher rates of marijuana use among college students.

Effect of marijuana smoking on pulmonary disease in HIV-infected and uninfected men: a longitudinal cohort study.
TL;DR: Long-term marijuana smoking was associated with lung disease independent of tobacco smoking and other risk factors in HIV-infected individuals, and these findings could be used to reduce modifiable risks of lung disease in high-risk populations.
