Hallucinogens and Psychedelics01:27

Hallucinogens and Psychedelics

166
Hallucinogens are psychoactive substances that profoundly alter perceptual experiences, generating unreal visual and sensory images. Often referred to as psychedelic drugs — a term derived from the Greek words "psyche" (mind) and "delos" (revealing) — these substances include marijuana and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), among others. These drugs vary in intensity and effects.
Marijuana, derived from the dried leaves and flowers of the hemp plant, contains...

CNS Stimulants: Cocaine, Amphetamines and Cannabinoids01:24

CNS Stimulants: Cocaine, Amphetamines and Cannabinoids

193
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...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Cannabinoids

277
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,...

Drug Regulation01:25

Drug Regulation

1.4K
Drug regulation encompasses the management of drug usage by evaluating its safety and efficacy through assessments conducted by regulatory authorities. Regrettably, the history of drug regulation is marred by several catastrophic events. One such incident is the Elixir Sulfanilamide tragedy, in which the toxic compound diethyl glycol was included in a sweet-tasting medication, leading to numerous fatalities. This event prompted the enactment of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act in 1938. Under...

Altered States of Awareness01:06

Altered States of Awareness

188
Altered states of consciousness represent significant deviations from one's normal mental state. These deviations can range from subtle changes in awareness to profound transformations in perception, thought processes, and sensory experiences. Altered states of consciousness can be triggered by various factors, including drug use, meditation, hypnosis, illness, or even intense fatigue.
The ingestion of substances like stimulants or hallucinogens leads to chemical alterations in the brain...

Drug Control Governance: Regulatory Bodies and Their Impact01:03

Drug Control Governance: Regulatory Bodies and Their Impact

158
Drug control governance involves the oversight and regulation of pharmaceuticals to ensure their safety and efficacy while preventing illegal drug use and trafficking. Regulatory bodies, including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union's European Medicines Agency (EMA), play a central role in this process. These agencies evaluate the safety and efficacy of drugs before they can be marketed. They fund clinical trials and assess the benefits and risks associated with...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Cannabis Research
  • Policy Studies

Background:

  • Cannabis legalization is increasing nationwide, leading to new user demographics and product types.
  • Home cultivation and diverse consumption methods (edibles, vaporizers) introduce novel concerns.
  • Emerging issues necessitate a review to inform policy in states with legal cannabis markets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore emerging cannabis-related concerns in Colorado.
  • To provide insights for states considering or implementing cannabis legalization.
  • To identify future directions for mitigating negative outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of cannabis use, acquisition, cultivation, and public health/policy issues.
  • Analysis of specific concerns documented in Colorado.
  • Identification of emerging trends and challenges.

Main Results:

  • Colorado has seen issues with edibles, vaporizers, concentrates, cultivation, use quantification, impaired driving, and arrests.
  • Dosing, product safety, and standardization of quantities are key concerns.
  • Intoxicated driving and arrest rates are significant public health considerations.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding cannabis dosing and dose-dependent effects is critical.
  • Standardizing cannabis quantities and evaluating new product safety are essential next steps.
  • Harm reduction strategies and informed public policy are vital for promoting well-being in legal cannabis markets.
