TLDR
Despite increased cannabis use and a changing state-level policy landscape, conclusive evidence regarding the shortand long-term health effects—both harms and benefits—of cannabis use remains elusive.Abstract:
Recent years have seen a rapid rise in the medical and recreational use of cannabis: a broad term that can be used to describe the various products and chemical compounds (e.g., marijuana, cannabinoids) derived from different species of the cannabis plant. Despite increased cannabis use and a changing state-level policy landscape, conclusive evidence regarding the shortand long-term health effects—both harms and benefits—of cannabis use remains elusive.read more

TL;DR: Both anxious/distressed specifier and mixed-features specifier were associated with early onset, poor course and functioning, and suicidality in US adults, and much remains to be learned about the DSM-5 MDD specifiers in the general population.

TL;DR: Although individual-level risk remains moderate to low and results from this study should be confirmed in future adequately powered prospective studies, the high prevalence of adolescents consuming cannabis generates a large number of young people who could develop depression and suicidality attributable to cannabis.
Journal ArticleDOI
US Epidemiology of Cannabis Use and Associated Problems
TL;DR: An overview of the changing US epidemiology of cannabis use and associated problems suggests national increases in cannabis potency, prenatal and unintentional childhood exposure; and in adults, increased use, CUD, cannabis-related emergency room visits, and fatal vehicle crashes.

Cannabis and cannabinoids for the treatment of people with chronic noncancer pain conditions: a systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled and observational studies.

TL;DR: It seems unlikely that cannabinoids are highly effective medicines for CNCP, as effects suggest that number needed to treat to benefit is high, and number neededto treat to harm is low, with limited impact on other domains.

TL;DR: There is scarce evidence to suggest that cannabinoids improve depressive disorders and symptoms, anxiety disorders, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, Tourette syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder, or psychosis.

Determination of the relative percentage distribution of THCA and Δ9-THC in herbal cannabis seized in Austria – Impact of different storage temperatures on stability
TL;DR: It was shown successfully that high storage temperatures led to a more rapid and complete decomposition of THCA to Δ(9)-THC while at low temperatures only slight or no changes of the percentage distribution were determined.

TL;DR: Forensic blood THC concentrations may be lower than common per se cutoffs despite greatly exceeding them while driving, and residual THC (from previous self-administration) was present, which rapidly decreased to preinhalation baselines and fluctuated around them.
