Stimulants

1.4K
Stimulants are substances that enhance neural activity and elevate dopamine levels in the brain, leading to their highly addictive nature. These drugs include cocaine, amphetamines, MDMA, caffeine, and nicotine, each with distinct mechanisms of action and varied health implications.
Cocaine can be administered via snorting, injection, or smoking. It primarily functions by blocking the reuptake of dopamine, resulting in a euphoric high characterized by an intense sensation of happiness and...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Cannabinoids

1.1K
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a phytocannabinoid that primarily interacts with the CB1 receptor, a type of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) predominantly in and around the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) and emetic center. THC also blocks the serotonin receptor activity in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) by inhibiting serotonin release. THC exerts its anti-emetic effects through these interactions, which are beneficial for patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Two synthetic agonists of THC,...

CNS Stimulants: Cocaine, Amphetamines and Cannabinoids

1.4K
CNS stimulants, such as cocaine, amphetamines, and cannabinoids, have varying structures and mechanisms of action that lead to different therapeutic effects and side effects. Cocaine, with its molecular formula C17H21NO4, is a tropane alkaloid and a tertiary amino compound. It has two chemical forms: the hydrochloride salt and the "freebase." The former is in powder form, while the latter involves removing the hydrochloride salt to create a form that can be smoked. Cocaine exerts its...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Cannabis vaping using electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) or electronic vaporizers (e-vaporizers) is uncommon. While some users found it helped reduce cannabis consumption, e-cigarettes are not a popular method for vaping cannabis.

Area of Science:

  • * Cannabis research
  • * Vaping technology
  • * Public health

Background:

  • * The use of electronic delivery systems for cannabis consumption is an emerging area of interest.
  • * Limited data exists on the specific methods and user experiences of vaping cannabis with e-cigarettes and e-vaporizers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To characterize the practice of cannabis vaping using electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and electronic vaporizers (e-vaporizers).

Main Methods:

  • * An online survey conducted between 2013 and 2014.
  • * Recruited 11 participants who vaped cannabis with e-cigarettes and 44 who vaped with e-vaporizers.

Main Results:

  • * Most participants were male (78%).
  • * Average use duration differed: 6 days for e-cigarettes vs. 50 days for e-vaporizers.
  • * E-vaporizer users vaped cannabis more frequently (6 days/week) than e-cigarette users (2 days/week).
  • * Commonly vaped forms included cannabis buds and oil.
  • * Dual users (smoking and vaping) reduced their joint consumption significantly after starting to vape (5 joints/week vs. 14 joints/week previously).
  • * 45% reported reduced cannabis use, 37% no change, and 6% increased use.
  • * Perceived benefits included being healthier and more discreet (less odor) than smoking.
  • * Reported disadvantages were dry mouth and diminished positive cannabis effects.

Conclusions:

  • * Cannabis vaping via e-cigarettes or e-vaporizers is an infrequent and largely undocumented behavior.
  • * E-cigarettes appear to be a less appealing device for cannabis vaping compared to e-vaporizers.
