Resumen

Los pacientes en tratamiento de trastornos por uso de sustancias a menudo usan cannabis, siendo las flores y los comestibles los más comunes. La elección del producto depende del contenido de THC, pero los beneficios y la comodidad percibidos también juegan un papel.

Área de la Ciencia:

Salud pública
Medicina para la adicción
Investigación sobre el cannabis

Sus antecedentes:

El aumento de la diversidad y la potencia de los productos de cannabis requiere la comprensión de los patrones de uso.
Los pacientes con trastornos por consumo de sustancias (TUS) presentan altas tasas de consumo de cannabis de alto riesgo.
Comprender la selección de productos de cannabis es crucial para esta población vulnerable.

Objetivo del estudio:

Para caracterizar los tipos de productos de cannabis utilizados por las personas en el tratamiento de SUD.
Para explorar las motivaciones detrás de la selección de productos de cannabis en este grupo demográfico.
Identificar los patrones de consumo de cannabis entre los pacientes sometidos a tratamiento de SUD.

Principales métodos:

Estudio de métodos mixtos en el que participaron 472 adultos en tratamiento con SUD que completaron una encuesta en línea.
Se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad con un subconjunto de 22 participantes.
Análisis cuantitativo de las características de uso del producto y análisis cualitativo de las motivaciones de selección.

Principales resultados:

La flor seca y el cannabis ahumado fueron las formas más frecuentes utilizadas tanto para fines médicos como no médicos.
Los comestibles y los productos de mayor potencia como los concentrados y los dabs mostraron un uso considerable.
El contenido de THC fue el principal motivador de compra, y los beneficios percibidos y la comodidad también influyeron en las elecciones.

Conclusiones:

El consumo de cannabis y la selección de productos entre los pacientes en tratamiento de SUD son complejos.
Las motivaciones para elegir productos específicos de cannabis son múltiples.
Se necesitan más investigaciones para explorar los impactos a largo plazo de varios productos de cannabis sobre los daños y beneficios en esta población.

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

CNS Stimulants: Cocaine, Amphetamines and Cannabinoids

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...

Drug Dependence

Drug Dependence

Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Cannabinoids

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Cannabinoids

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 Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

An Overview of Psychoactive Drugs

An Overview of Psychoactive Drugs

Psychoactive drugs impact brain function, influencing perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, and behavior. These substances are grouped based on their effects and the mechanisms by which they act.
Stimulants such as cocaine, amphetamines, and nicotine enhance brain activity, leading to increased alertness, attention, and energy. These drugs typically raise heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. While they can induce feelings of euphoria, their misuse can result in severe health...
