SCIENCE CANNABUSTING
Researchers concluded in a recent study, “Though it is unclear why, the risk of dependence formation among heavy marijuana users appear to have declined since 2002.” “One might have expected the population prevalence of marijuana dependence to have increased proportionally to the substantial increase in prevalence of marijuana use. That this did not occur presents a puzzle…” Davenport, S. (2018). Falling rates of marijuana dependence among heavy users. Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 191, 52–55.

The Surprising Reach of FDA Regulation of Cannabis, Even After Descheduling.
O'Connor SM, et al. Am Univ Law Rev. 2019.
University of Washington School of Law.
University of Missouri School of Law.
CitationAm Univ Law Rev. 2019;68(3):823-925.
Cannabis producers appear to assume that descheduling would facilitate a robust market in cannabis-based edibles and dietary supplements. In fact, neither of these things is true. If cannabis were descheduled, the FDA's complex and comprehensive regulatory framework governing foods, drugs, and dietary supplements would preclude much of this anticipated commerce. For example, any medical claims about cannabis would require the seller to complete the rigorous new drug approval process, the cost of which will be prohibitive for most current traditional providers.

Science/Human: Cannabis use is associated with a lower probability of obesity in healthy people
In a representative group for the US population, who were followed for 3 years cannabis use was associated with a lower increase of BMI (body mass index). Researchers of the Department of Family Medicine of Michigan State University in East Lansing, USA, published their research in the International Journal of Epidemiology. Adults completed computer-assisted personal interviews on cannabis use, body weight and height at Waves 1 (2001-2002) and 2 (2004-2005).
At wave 2, 77% of the participants never used cannabis, 18% had discontinued use, 3% were initiates and 2% were persistent users. Estimated BMI change over 3 years shows an increase for all subgroups. Compared with never-users, there was an inverse association of cannabis use with obesity and body mass index.

Science: Degradation of THC over a course of 4 years under different storage conditions
Researchers of the Laboratory of Environmental Hygiene and Forensic Toxicology of the DMPO Department in Venice, Italy, investigated the degradation of THC in herbal and resin materials containing different initial concentrations of THC. Four representative samples were collected from each study material and were maintained for a prolonged time (four years) under different controlled storage conditions: (A) light and room temperature (22°C); (B) darkness and room temperature; (C) darkness and refrigeration (4 °C); (D) darkness and freezing (-20 °C)
Almost 100% of THC was degraded after four years under conditions A and B (room temperature, light or dark). Data indicated that the storage temperature and light exposure had two different effects on the conversion of THC to CBN. Models were proposed which allow to predict the storage time, if unknown, and the initial content of THC, from the measurement of THC and CBN content at any time under storage condition A.

Science/Human: Cannabis use in adolescents decreased in Washington State after legalisation
Cannabis use decreased among adolescents according to a survey with 76,000 youth representative of 8th and 10th grades in the state of Washington. It only increased among 12th-grade working youth.

Science/Human: Cannabis use mitigates inflammation associated with alcohol use
In a study with 66 regular alcohol drinkers concomitant cannabis use reduced the concentration of the pro-inflammatory mediator interleukin-6. Authors wrote that there “preliminary findings suggest that cannabinoid compounds may serve to mitigate inflammation associated with alcohol use.” Department of Psychology & Neuroscience, University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado, USA. Karoly HC, et al. Alcohol Clin Exp Res. 2018;42(3):531-539.
Science/Human: Heavy cannabis use is more likely associated with depression
According to a large study “cannabis users have consistently higher prevalence rates of depressive disorders compared with nonusers.”
Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Milano Bicocca, Italy. Carrà G, et al. Subst Abus. 2019:1-7.
Science/Human: Cannabis use in patients with schizophrenia is associated with a reduced risk for inflammatory bowel disease
In a study with 21,066 cases with schizophrenia and 176,935 control subjects cannabis use was associated with a reduced risk for inflammatory bowel disease in patients with schizophrenia but not in the control group. Copenhagen Research Center for Mental Health - CORE, Mental Health Center Copenhagen, Copenhagen University Hospital, Denmark. Olesen JA, et al. Psychol Med. 2019:1-8.
Science/Human: CBD degradation is slower in people with hepatic impairment
In a clinical study patients with liver disease presented with slower degradation of CBD than in healthy people. Authors concluded that their “findings indicate that dose modification is necessary in patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment, and a lower starting
dose and slower titration are necessary based on benefit-risk.” GW Research Ltd, Cambridge, UK Taylor L, et al. J Clin Pharmacol. 2019 Mar 28. [in press]
Science/Human: Cannabis use during pregnancy is associated with lower birth weight
In a study with 2173 patients infants born to mothers, who tested positive for THC in urine had a lower birth weight (mean: 2925 g) than babies not exposed to THC (mean: 3235 g). Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Hatton Research Institute, TriHealth, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. Howard DS, et al. J Addict Med. 2019 Mar 1. [in press]
Science/Animal: The CB2 receptor is involved in wound healing of the cornea
In a study with mice researchers found evidence that the CB2 receptor plays an important role in healing after injury of the cornea and that these receptors are required for the normal course of wound closure.

Science: New patents for about 30 new cannabinoid receptor antagonists between 2015 and 2018
According to a review on new patents “peripherally acting CB1 receptor antagonists and modulators are an emerging class of drugs for metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and other important disorders where this receptor has been implicated.”
