The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association
|January 31, 2018
Summary
As cannabis becomes more legal, new products and consumption methods emerge. Healthcare providers need to understand these changes for better patient assessment and treatment regarding cannabis use.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacology
- Public Health
- Cannabis Science
Background:
- Cannabis use is federally prohibited but increasingly legalized for medical and recreational purposes across US states.
- The expanding cannabis industry offers a diverse range of products and consumption methods.
- Healthcare professionals require updated knowledge on cannabis products for effective patient care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To inform clinicians about contemporary cannabis consumption forms.
- To facilitate comparisons between various cannabis products.
- To enhance the assessment and treatment approaches for cannabis use.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of modern cannabis products and consumption methods.
- Analysis of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration variations.
- Synthesis of information for clinical application.
Main Results:
- Diverse cannabis products include edibles, tinctures, topicals, and various inhalation devices.
- Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentrations vary significantly across product types and brands.
- Understanding product variability is crucial for predicting effects and managing patient use.
Conclusions:
- Clinicians must be aware of the evolving landscape of cannabis products and consumption methods.
- Knowledge of product specifics aids in accurate patient assessment and tailored treatment strategies.
- This review provides a foundation for understanding modern cannabis products in clinical practice.

Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces. How do people convince others to change their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? What communications do you receive that attempt to persuade you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors?

01:25Routes of Drug Administration: Parenteral
3.0K
The administration of drugs via parenteral routes allows for direct drug introduction into the systemic circulation, resulting in high bioavailability because the medication bypasses the harsh conditions of the gastrointestinal tract and hepatic metabolism.
The intravenous route (IV) of drug administration can be further categorized into two types. The bolus injection administers the entire dose rapidly, while an intravenous infusion slowly delivers smaller doses steadily.
The IV route is often...

01:22Routes of Drug Administration: Overview
9.7K
Drug administration involves delivering drugs to the body through various routes, such as enteral, parenteral, and topical.
Enteral administration refers to drugs absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. They can be swallowed (perorally), placed under the tongue (sublingually), or on the inner lining of the cheeks (buccally). Perorally administered drugs take time to be absorbed and have a slower onset of action. The rectal route is another form of enteral administration, which allows for...

1.9K
The enteral drug administration involves three primary routes: oral, sublingual, and buccal. Oral ingestion is the most prevalent, safe, economical, and convenient method for drug administration. However, it has certain drawbacks, including limited absorption due to the drug's low water solubility or poor membrane permeability, possible emesis from GI mucosa irritation, destruction of drugs by digestive enzymes or low gastric pH, and irregular absorption along with food or other drugs.

01:29Drug Delivery: Parenteral Route
1.8K
The parenteral route is a critical method of drug administration. It delivers compounds directly into the systemic circulation and bypasses the gastrointestinal tract. This approach is particularly advantageous for drugs that exhibit poor absorption or instability when administered orally.
There are three primary parenteral routes: intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and subcutaneous (SC). The IV route introduces the drug directly into the bloodstream, ensuring immediate action. The IM route...
