Cannabis Legalization with R. Lorraine Collins

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on Cannabis Legalization with R. Lorraine Collins

There are few people more qualified to weigh in on the legalization of cannabis than psychologist R. Lorraine Collins (https://publichealth.buffalo.edu/community-health-and-health-behavior/faculty-and-staff/faculty-directory/lcollins.html) , a renowned addictions expert who started researching the drug decades ago, long before the wave of legalization began sweeping the U.S. In this episode of Driven to Discover, David Hill talks to Collins, a SUNY Distinguished Professor at the University at Buffalo and director of the Center for Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research, about the pros and cons of legal cannabis, what New York State is getting right (and wrong) in its legalization journey, the historical racism behind cannabis being designated a Schedule I substance, and why it’s so critical for research that the federal government reclassify it.

Coming May 6: Earthworms enjoy a pretty good rep. In truth, they’re an invasive species in the Northeast, not always a friend to our gardens, and a real menace to our forests. But they can be beneficial too. In this episode, ecologist Nick Henshue sheds light on the poorly understood creature, explaining how we can exploit its benefits while minimizing its potential for harm.

With the increasing legalization and use of marijuana throughout the country, we have a duty to ourselves and our society to understand its potential benefits and harms. Right now, it’s easier for a researcher to study cocaine or morphine than it is to study CBD, only one of more than 500 compounds found in the cannabis plant. What we do know comes from anecdotal stories or very limited studies. In this session, we’ll discuss the ups and downs of cannabis as found in the research that is happening now. We’ll also show you what the future could be if the Schedule 1 designation were removed and research appropriately funded, allowing us to design comprehensive studies and educate the public, as well as the medical profession, about the realities of marijuana.

Dr. Todd Vanderah is Professor and Chair of Pharmacology, as well as Joint Professor in the Departments of Neurology and Anesthesiology at the University of Arizona College of Medicine Tucson. He co-directs the MD/PhD Program and is the Director of the Comprehensive Pain and Addiction Center in the University of Arizona Health Sciences. His research interests include mechanisms of cancer pain, opioid use disorder, cannabinoid pharmacology, neuronal integration in pain pathways, neurochemical release during conditions of neuropathy, neuronal plasticity, addiction, as well as the discovery of novel targets for new medications to help in substance use disorder and chronic pain.

This talk was part of the University of Arizona SXSW Wonder House program on Saturday, March 11, 2023.

Treating Pain with Medical Marijuana

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Medical. No Comments on Treating Pain with Medical Marijuana

“I could see endocannabinoids as being a really good conduit to relieving the opioid epidemic.” Nathan Fried, assistant professor of biology, discusses the potential of medical marijuana for replacing opioids as a pain treatment.

Fried joined the Rutgers University–Camden faculty in the fall of 2018. He specializes in neuroscience and is currently studying the connections between sleep and pain, to identify opioid alternatives for chronic pain treatment.
