he prospective association between the use of E-cigarettes and other psychoactive substances in young people [5] 09/06/2023 Pooling of data from the identified longitudinal studies showed that ever e-cigarette users have an increased likelihood for subsequent cannabis, alcohol, and unprescribed Ritalin/Adderall use compared to never e-cigarette users. The findings indicate a need for interventions to reduce e-cigarette use in adolescents and young adults.	Psychosis [6], Psychoactive [7], addiction [4]

Adolescent cannabis exposure increases heroin reinforcement in rats genetically vulnerable to addiction. [14] 02/12/2020 THC pre-exposure increased responding for heroin and heroin intake under FR-3 and FR-5 as well as PR protocols and increased breaking point in PR schedules in LEW but not F344 rats. Drug cues and heroin priming reinstated responding in LEW and F344, but THC pre-exposure increased reinstatement by priming in LEW rats and by cues in F344 rats. These observations show that in genetically predisposed individuals, adolescent cannabis exposure increases heroin reinforcing properties, thus providing a mechanism for a causal role of adolescent cannabis use in heroin abuse.	heroin [15]
What to know about marijuana withdrawal [16] 01/28/2019 Experts define addiction as continued marijuana use despite negative consequences in a person's life, such as issues relating to their family, job, or relationships. People who use marijuana regularly and then stop abruptly can experience some withdrawal symptoms.	withdrawal [17], addiction [4], medicine news today [18]
Number of new heroin users drops dramatically, but meth, marijuana use up, survey says [19] 09/16/2018 There was more alarming news. Use of illegal drugs, including cocaine, marijuana, and opioids by pregnant women increased significantly between 2015 and 2017. About 7 percent of pregnant women reported using marijuana. Three percent said they used it daily. McCance-Katz says marijuana use is linked to fetal growth problems, preterm births, stillbirths, hyperactivity and impaired cognition in newborns.

Marijuana and Public Health CDC [29] 01/15/2017 Some people think that marijuana is not truly “addictive” or that people can’t become “hooked” on the drug, but research shows that about 1 in 10 marijuana users will become addicted. For people who begin using before the age of 18, that number rises to 1 in 6. Marijuana use directly affects the brain — specifically the parts of the brain responsible for memory, learning, attention, decision making, coordination, emotions, and reaction time.

Marijuana use rising across all age groups, survey finds [36] 12/07/2016 In Ontario, for instance, a survey released Wednesday by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) found that past-year cannabis use virtually doubled between 1996 and 2015, rising from about eight per cent to almost 15 per cent of respondents. Significant increases were found among all age groups, but especially among 18- to 29-year-olds, with the proportion of pot smokers jumping from about 18 per cent in 1996 to 38 per cent in 2015	Canada [37], usage [38], addiction [4]
78 People Die a Day From Opioid Overdose, Surgeon General Says in Landmark Report [39] 11/17/2016 n 2015, the report notes, substance-abuse disorders affected 20.8 million people in the United States — as many as those with diabetes and 1.5 times as many as those with cancer. Yet, Murthy said, only one in 10 people receives treatment. “We would never tolerate a situation where only one in 10 people with cancer or diabetes gets treatment, and yet we do that with substance-abuse disorders,” he said.	surgeon General [35], addiction [4], epidemic [34]
El Chapo and the Secret History of the Heroin Crisis [40] 08/09/2016 If you wonder why America is in the grips of a heroin epidemic that kills two hundred people a week, take a hard look at the legalization of pot, which destroyed the profits of the Mexican cartels. How did they respond to a major loss in revenue? Like any company, they created an irresistible new product and flooded the market. The scariest part: this might not have happened with El Chapo in charge.	heroin [15]
Marijuana Legalization Has Led To More Use And Addiction While Illegal Market Continues To Thrive [41] 07/15/2016 The illegal marijuana market thrives in competition with the legal market by offering products at considerably lower prices because it neither complies with regulations on growth and sale, nor pays taxes on sales or their profits. It is particularly disturbing that the public is unaware of the fact that of all Americans with substance use disorders due to drugs other than alcohol, nearly 60 percent [42] are due to marijuana. That means that more Americans are addicted to marijuana than any other drug, including heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and the nonmedical use of prescription drugs.	legalization [43], addiction [4], illegal [44]

Relationship between Nonmedical Prescription-Opioid Use and Heroin Use [47] 03/24/2016 Furthermore, the study shows that people engaged in the non-medical use of prescription opioids rarely use heroin. Also, the transition to heroin for people abusing prescription opioids occurs at a lower rate than for others. The research indicates that the primary causes in the increase in heroin use and associated overdoses are lower market prices and higher purity for heroin.	opioid [24], heroin [15]
Study Links Marijuana Use to Greater Risk for Developing Addiction to Other Drugs [48] 02/20/2016 A new study suggests marijuana smokers may be significantly more likely to develop an addiction to other drugs and alcohol than people who don’t use marijuana. The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, included almost 35,000 adults who were interviewed three years apart. At the time of the first interview, almost 1,300 used marijuana. After three years, two-thirds of people who used marijuana had some form of substance use disorder, compared with less than 20 percent of people who did not use marijuana in the previous year.	addiction [4], youth [49], Studies [50]
Persistent Cannabis Dependence and Alcohol Dependence Represent Risks for Midlife Economic and Social Problems: A Longitudinal C [51] 01/09/2016 Our data indicate that persistent cannabis users constitute a burden on families, communities, and national social-welfare systems. Moreover, heavy cannabis use and dependence was not associated with fewer harmful economic and social problems than was alcohol dependence. Our study underscores the need for prevention and early treatment of individuals dependent on cannabis.	alcohol [52], addiction [4], Studies [50]

ASAM Public Policy Statement on Marijuana, Cannabinoids and Legalization [57] 09/21/2015 Prenatal exposure to marijuana has been shown to be predictive of psychotic symptoms in young adulthood. Monitoring the Future survey reported a five-year decline in the perceived harm of regularly smoking marijuana, from 52.4% of high school seniors to 36.1% Marijuana is the most widely used illegal drug in the United States and it is estimated that it is used by 61% of all persons suffering from a substance use disorder related to drugs other than alcohol. The risk of developing addiction associated with cannabis use has been reported to increase to about 17% among those who start using marijuana in adolescence, and to 25-50% among those who smoke marijuana daily. Smoke from marijuana combustion has been shown to contain a number of carcinogens and cocarcinogens, as well as many of the toxins, irritants, and carcinogens as tobacco smoke. Marijuana-infused edibles account for 45% of the legal marijuana marketplace. AMA Marijuana has a high potential for abuse. It has no scientifically proven, currently accepted medical use for preventing or treating any disease process in the United States.

Medicinal and Recreational Marijuana: What are the Risks? [64] 07/31/2015 Brain abnormalities and memory problems were observed in these individuals in their early twenties, two years after they had stopped using marijuana. The cannabis users were noted to have striatal, globus pallidus, and thalamus changes showing these brain regions appearing to shrink and collapse inward. These individuals also had poorer working memory. The earlier the age of cannabis use, the more dramatic the brain changes and memory deficits were noted to be. Not only does it appear that cannabis use itself is a potential precursor to future drug use, but the age of first use of cannabis and the frequency of cannabis use seem to also be predictors of future substance abuse issues. Studies have shown that over two-thirds of those under the age of 18 who have been admitted to a drug treatment program identify cannabis as their substance of choice. ” One important characteristic that defines a substance use disorder is “an underlying change in brain circuits that may persist beyond detoxification, particularly in individuals with severe disorder"	Teens [65], Research [63], Studies [50], Brain [13], addiction [4], anxiety [66], depression [67], Resource Paper [68]
Today’s Heroin Epidemic Infographics [69] 07/11/2015 [70] Heroin use is part of a larger substance abuse problem. Nearly all people who used heroin also used at least 1 other drug.

Mike Milburn: Be wary of marijuana legalization [111] 06/03/2014 In spite of the widespread effort to normalize marijuana, Montana knows firsthand the societal problems it can cause. By 2011, Montana had the sixth-highest rate of youth marijuana use in the country and the fourth-highest rate of youth addiction. I heard of growers destroying neighborhoods, reducing the values of homes through the foul language, harassment and stench of crowds at the dispensaries. Parents complained that kids could not play in their own yards. Multiple dispensaries set up near schools, targeting our youth.	legalization [43], Montana [112], addiction [4]

Heavy, Frequent Cannabis Use Linked to Mental Illness [119] 04/03/2014 A new study suggests people with mental illness are more than seven times as likely to use marijuana weekly than people without a mental illness. In total, 4.4 percent of individuals with a mental illness in the past 12 months reported using cannabis weekly, compared to 0.6 percent among individuals without any mental illness. Cannabis use disorders occurred among 4 percent of those with mental illness versus 0.4 per cent among those without. Researchers also noted that, although cannabis use is generally higher among younger people, the association between mental illness and cannabis use was pervasive across most age groups.

"Show me that data," Sabet said in reaction to hearing this. "Also, chocolate doesn't cause car crashes or IQ loss or mental illness." Calvina Fay, executive director of Drug Free America, a nonprofit that educates the public about the dangers of drug abuse, responded, "Unlike marijuana, I am not aware of anyone in treatment for chocolate addiction and it certainly is not a substance that sends people to the hospital or impairs one's ability to work or operate a vehicle or machinery."	addiction [4], chocolate [125]

Legalization, Decriminalization, and Medicinal Use of Cannabis: A Scientific and Public Health perspective [137] 04/01/2012 As expected, prescription cannabinoids are effective antiemetics and appetite stimulants, and some studies report their effectiveness as adjunct therapy in chronic pain syndromes, spasticity, and glaucoma. Similar results are reported by the few studies of smoked cannabis plant for these same indications. As noted earlier, safe and effective alternative treatments for all these syndromes are available. Studies assessing psychological aspects of smoked cannabis and prescription cannabinoids uniformly report undesired effects: acute psychosis, poorer prognosis of chronic psychosis, or cognitive dulling in medical patients.	health [138], addiction [4], pills [139], youth [49], Research [63], social costs [140]
