We need better ways to measure cannabis quantities across different product types. This study supports the predictive validity of using ecological momentary assessment to estimate THC and CBD use across various forms of cannabis

Canadian cannabis retailers often violate promotional restrictions through inducements, lifestyle imagery and youth-targeting content online, undermining the public health goals of legalization. Stronger oversight and enforcement are needed

@avilewis The NDP position on Cuba & Venezuela is not only an embarrassment of Naomi Klein proportions but a foreign policy blunder that disqualifies it from being competitive in federal elections. It refuses to see Cuba’s brutal dictatorship for decades. It’s been 67 years. Hasta cuando?

@StratCann The trade commissioner should make international trade support conditional upon the industry supplying cannabis for domestic scientific and medical research. Promoting global medical sales while obstructing domestic research is the height of hypocrisy

"This study offers preliminary insight into consumer preferences for how THC should be reported on cannabis product labels... the Standard THC Unit [was] the most preferred metric, with preferences largely consistent across age, sex, frequency of use..."

Marijuana is far from a “silver bullet” for various illnesses, but it has some promising applications, scientists say

@tblickman Industry and government disagree on many things re: cannabis regulation, but both are jointly making an Olympic effort to further discredit a broken medical cannabis system to a comical end

@rwade300 This paper was careful to examine alternative explanations in this cohort context. They have a nice paragraph in the discussion dedicated to the complexity and bidirectionality of cannabis use and psychiatric disorders

"In this cohort study of 463,396 adolescents aged 13 to 17 years... past-year cannabis use was associated with a significantly increased risk of incident psychotic, bipolar, depressive, and anxiety disorders by age 26 years"

[Sergio Rueda 🇨🇦🇻🇪🇪🇸 @ruedagento]

@rwade300 We evaluate harms with observational studies and benefits with RCTs. It wouldn’t be appropriate to randomize adolescents to take cannabis vs placebo to see if they develop psychiatric disorders later in life

@ValentinaGuzman Los dos primeros lugares bajo 2 horas! Incluso el tercer lugar hubiese roto el récord mundial. Increíble!!

La barrera de los 2 horas finalmente rota, justo a tiempo antes de que los robots empiecen a destronarnos (un robot acaba de romper el récord del medio maratón)
