Geographic Accessibility of Retail Cannabis in Northern California and Prenatal Cannabis Use During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Prenatal cannabis use is associated with health risks for mothers and their children. Prior research suggests that rates of prenatal cannabis use in Northern California increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, but it is unknown whether increases varied with the local cannabis retail and policy environment. To test wheth...

Cannabis use, risk behaviours and harms in Brazil A comprehensive review of available data indicators.
Cannabis use and related healthsocial outcome indicator data for Brazil-where non-medical cannabis is generally illegal-are limited. Towards a comprehensive overview of relevant indicators, we searched primary databases by combining MeSH-index terms related to cannabis, geographic location and subtopic terms (e.g., use...

Thalamocortical functional connectivity and cannabis use in men with childhood attention-deficithyperactivity disorder.
Disruptions of the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuit has been implicated in both attention-deficithyperactivity disorder and substance use disorder. Given the high prevalence of cannabis use among patients with attention-deficithyperactivity disorder, we set out to investigate the relationship between the two in...

MDMA for the treatment of misophonia, a proposal.
Misophonia is a disorder characterized by negative physical and emotional reactions to certain trigger sounds, such as chewing food. Up to 50% of population samples endorse some symptoms of misophonia, with about 20% having symptoms that impair normal life functioning. Most misophonia patients exhibit intense negative ...

Antitumorigenic Effect of Cannabidiol in Lung Cancer What Do We Know So Far–A Mini Review.
Lung cancer remains a major factor contributing to morbidity and mortality worldwide. cannabidiol (CBD) and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol could serve as a specific treatment for lung cancer, owing to their essential role in lung cancer cell apoptosis. This review evaluated the antitumorigenic mechanisms of CBD in lung cancer...

Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the bioanalysis of N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and its metabolites DMT-N-oxide and indole-3-acetic acid in human plasma.
The indole alkaloid N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) induces psychedelic effects in humans. In addition to ceremonial and recreational use, DMT is subject to clinical investigations. Sensitive bioanalytical methods are required to assess the pharmacokinetics of DMT and its metabolites in human plasma. Here, a high performa...

Alleviation of opioid withdrawal by cannabis and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol A systematic review of observational and experimental human studies.
While six U.S. states have already officially authorized cannabinoids to substitute opioids and treat opioid use disorder, the therapeutic benefits of cannabinoids remain unclear, especially when weighted against their adverse effects. We conducted a systematic review of studies examining the association between opioid...

Changes in music-evoked emotion and ventral striatal functional connectivity after psilocybin therapy for depression.
Music listening is a staple and valued component of psychedelic therapy, and previous work has shown that psychedelics can acutely enhance music-evoked emotion. The present study sought to examine subjective responses to music before and after psilocybin therapy for treatment-resistant depression, while functional magn...

Role of 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, 5-HT1A and TAAR1 Receptors in the Head Twitch Response Induced by 5-Hydroxytryptophan and Psilocybin Translational Implications.
There is increasing interest in the therapeutic potential of psilocybin. In rodents, the serotonin precursor, 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and psilocybin induce a characteristic 5-HT2A receptor (5-HT2AR)-mediated head twitch response (HTR), which is correlated with the human psychedelic trip. We examined the role of oth...

Extensive Collection of Psychotropic Mushrooms with Determination of Their Tryptamine Alkaloids.
Since not only psilocybin (PSB) but also PSB-containing mushrooms are used for psychedelic therapy and microdosing, it is necessary to know their concentration variability in wild-grown mushrooms. This article aimed to determine the PSB, psilocin (PS), baeocystin (BA), norbaeocystin (NB), and aeruginascin (AE) concentr...
