TL;DR: Guidelines for safely integrating cannabis into accepted medical practices are suggested and calls for marijuana to be rescheduled beneath its current Schedule I status are suggested.
Abstract: Many medical, ethical, legal and political issues have been raised by legislation in California removing criminal penalties for the medical use of marijuana. The California Society of Addiction Medicine (CSAM) has taken an addiction medicine perspective on the use of marijuana as medicine in an effort to create a neutral framework for dealing with these issues. As part of this perspective, CSAM has called for marijuana to be rescheduled beneath its current Schedule I status. Guidelines for safely integrating cannabis into accepted medical practices are suggested.

Abstract: Long-acting injectable antiretroviral medications are new to HIV treatment. People with HIV may benefit from a treatment option that better aligns with their preferences, but could also face new challenges and barriers. Authors from the fields of HIV, substance use treatment, and mental health collaborated on this commentary on the issues surrounding equitable implementation and uptake of LAI ART by drawing lessons from all three fields. We employ a socio-ecological framework beginning at the policy level and moving through the community, organizational, interpersonal, and patient levels. We look at extant literature on the topic as well as draw from the direct experience of our clinician-authors.

TL;DR: The French Addictions Treatment system was recently reformed as mentioned in this paper, which allowed addiction treatment professionals to be concerned with the prevention and the detection of addictive behaviors (abuse and risk use), which was relatively new in the French medical profession.
Abstract: The French Addictions Treatment system was recently reformed. The ministerial memo was clearly inspired by professionals and from the clinical reality of patients. The main purpose of this reform was to reorganize the treatments (fighting against the historical split of the different structures) but also to fight against the substances approach in favor of a global approach. Thus, this new plan allows addiction treatment professionals to be concerned with the prevention and the detection of addictive behaviors (abuse and risk use), which was relatively new in the French medical profession. We present a brief history of the evolution of the system of treatment for addiction, and we describe the new system of treatment for addiction as it is now defined in France.
