Daily consumers demonstrated improvements in SDLP (standard deviation in lateral positioning) following cannabis ingestion. Both daily and occasional cannabis consumers reduced their speed following cannabis use, whereas those in the control group typically increased their speed.
“We conclude from our meta-analysis that … oral fluid tests should not be considered a valid indicator of [cannabis-induced] impairment.”
“These findings add to the growing body of evidence that cannabis is effective in the treatment of multiple conditions, including chronic pain, and that it possesses a safety profile that is often superior to traditional medications, like opioids.”
“The findings highlight the distinct patterns of pulmonary and cardiovascular manifestations associated with smoking and marijuana use. In general, marijuana users do not appear to develop emphysema or pulmonary hyperinflation.”
“It is time for politicians and others to stop assessing cannabis through the lens of ‘what we don’t know’ and instead start engaging in evidence-based discussions about marijuana and marijuana reform policies that are indicative of all that we do know.”
“Taken together, these studies suggest that regular cannabis use is not associated with elevated blood pressure or hypertension.”
“These results illustrate that cannabis regulation, coupled with consumer education, can provide sufficient safeguards to protect — and potentially even improve — mental health outcomes, particularly among more vulnerable populations.”
“Our results suggest that adults who use cannabis … experience few significant long-term neural associations in these areas of cognition.”
