Cannabis control. An approach to cannabis use and dependence
1Turning Point Drug and Alcohol Centre, Fitzroy, Victoria. matthewf@turningpoint.org.au
Background:
Cannabis use is widespread in our community. Dependence on cannabis may be associated with significant mental and physical harms.
Objective:
This article aims to give an overview of the adverse effects of cannabis use and guidelines for management of cannabis dependence.
Discussion:
General practitioners can manage cannabis dependence from a harm minimisation framework using motivational interviewing and other counselling measures. Occasionally, pharmacologic approaches may be used with the caveat that they should be brief and carefully monitored.

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...
Combinatorial Gene Control
The expression of more than 30,000 genes is controlled by approximately 2000-3000 transcription factors. This is possible because a single transcription factor can recognize more than one regulatory sequence. The specificity in gene...
