Can Marijuana Help with Opioid Addiction?

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Medical. No Comments on Can Marijuana Help with Opioid Addiction?

Part 3 of our opioid series supported by the NIHCM Foundation looks at the potential for marijuana to improve outcomes in opioid addiction therapy. Some studies have shown that prescribing marijuana can ease the path to shaking an opioid dependence. There’s some new research in this area, and we’ll go through some of the studies.

Medical Marijuana: Real Medication or Just Recreation?

Program Overview
Cannabis, or marijuana, has been used for medicinal purposes since 2737 BC. Despite the federal government endorsing the illegal status of this drug, patients have continued to obtain cannabis for medical purposes. Currently, eighteen states and the District of Columbia in the U.S. have laws that allow marijuana to be used for medicinal reasons (e.g., severe pain, muscle spasms, severe nausea). It is important for pharmacists to understand the characteristics and appropriate use of medical marijuana with more patients seeking this alternative therapy. This webinar will use an evidence-based approach to discuss the pharmacology, therapeutic uses, side effects, psychiatric implications, drug interactions, and various dosage forms of medical marijuana. Pharmacists need to know and be able to talk with patients about the risks and benefits of using medical marijuana.

Pharmacist Educational Objectives
– Review various dosage formulations of medical marijuana (MMJ) available to patients

-Describe the clinical pharmacology of botanical MMJ and its active components

-Evaluate and discuss clinical studies performed in patients with various conditions to determine the effectiveness of botanical MMJ

-Identify adverse effects, psychiatric implications, and potential drug interactions that may occur with the use of botanical MMJ

Is marijuana bad for your brain? – Anees Bahji

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Facts. No Comments on Is marijuana bad for your brain? – Anees Bahji

Explore how marijuana’s two main active compounds, THC and CBD, affect your brain and body, and what risk factors to watch out for.

—

In 1970, marijuana was classified as a schedule 1 drug in the United States: the strictest designation possible, meaning it was completely illegal and had no recognized medical uses. Today, marijuana’s therapeutic benefits are widely acknowledged, but a growing recognition for its medical value doesn’t answer the question: is recreational marijuana use bad for your brain? Anees Bahji investigates.

There’s just no way to talk about marijuana without someone completely misinterpreting what I say. Some of you are going to call me a fascist for saying anything bad about pot. Others are going to attack me for not coming down on it hard enough. But the truth of the matter is that many things that are far more dangerous than pot are totally legal in this country. That’s not my opinion, it’s what scientific studies show us. No one is saying marijuana is totally safe. But is it so bad for you that it should be illegal, even though it has benefits? Watch and decide. Happy weed day.

And, yes, we do know about the new study on brain development, which came out long after we taped. But as with a lot of research, it’s being totally misinterpreted by the media. Go check out the references to see a nice article where the author of the study says the same thing.

Uh Oh.

OK. A thing I didn’t say, that I probably should have, is that we haven’t actually had a chance to do as much research on marijuana as we should have. Edibles have different effects than smoking which has different effects from vaping. Different strains have different amounts of THC and CBD and that matters. These are both psycho-active compounds and they both have effects on your brain. That’s why they get you high, but the highs are different and the effects (and thus potential negative side-effects are different.)

But it’s also very hard to even STUDY marijuana because it’s illegal…so this is both another reason to decriminalize (to make research easier) and a reason why it’s more complicated (we don’t know for sure how many of the negative effects we’ve teased out.
