Marijuana causes memory-loss. It is not 100%-harmless.

This phenomenon of memory-loss is backed-up with substantial-evidence, of all kinds, including circumstantial.

" ... although in the United States 10 to 20% of consumers who use cannabis daily become dependent, it is different from addiction. " ~ Misplaced Pages.

Whether cannabis addiction exists (not talking about dependency, here) or not is extremely disputed and controversial. This point needs refinement.

We need to reflect the controversy.

Best wishes,

This is a little bit political, but some cultures (let's not get into specifics) do not have a healthy relationship with cannabis.

A huge issue with doing research about cannabis is the cultural-political baggage that is surrounding the issue.

Politics is not a field known for objectivity, facts, logic, clarity, caution, ethics, science, and where things make sense.

'''Summary''': Cannabis (the topic of cannabis-legalisation is particularly bad here) is a deeply political issue and this often clouds research.

Please be civil and respectful in your replies. Thank you.

Good day and best wishes,

This article is less biased than the french one, but it's still far from being neutral. I'm interested in neurological changes, not prohibition-era propagandist "science" from last millennium. The article is called "long-term effects", not "Negative long term effects". It's confusing effects from the ROA and effects from canabinoids themselves. Its repeatedly committing the "correlation isn't causation" mistake. There are things as absurd as "As of 2017 there is clear evidence that long term use of cannabis increases the risk of psychosis, regardless of confounding factors, and particularly for people who have genetic risk factors" (genetic risk factors IS a confounding factor...).

==Recent changes about cannabis and addiction==

With respect to the continued reversions to state that cannabis is non-addictive (& citations which even say within them, that cannabis IS addictive).

The citations used here, such as Borgelt et al, to say that cannabis is non-addictive, it states this within the Discussion section: "Other concerns about medical cannabis include the need for adequate monitoring and prevention of addiction"<ref>https://accpjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/phar.1187</ref>

There are many, many more citations than 4 out there, so I'm happy to include more than 4 but I had figured it was sufficiently greater than a citation that doesn't even agree with the statement it's being cited for.

1. "Cannabis Addiction and the Brain: a Review". Journal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology.<ref>https://doi.org/10.1007/s11481-018-9782-9</ref>

2. "Neuromorphological background of cannabis addiction". Brain Research Bulletin.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0361923003000819</ref>

3. "Is marijuana addictive?". National Institute on Drug Abuse<ref>https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/marijuana/marijuana-addictive</ref>

4. "Neurochemical basis of cannabis addiction". Neuroscience.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0361923003000819</ref>

All of the journals & sources I included as citations, are among the most prestigious publications & widely used sources all across Misplaced Pages. They're utilized by clinicians globally. I didn't include anything controversial clinically; this is scientific consensus.

I am a big fan of the r/leaves subreddit & all those wondering about their place in addiction & recovery, like those in that community, deserve to find info on Misplaced Pages that is objective & not rife with personal/very uncommon opinion.

Also, & just to be clear, even if we take the stance of "well, cannabis may technically be addictive from the research perspective" but not from the perspective of the common definition. That, is also not true. Addiction is commonly accepted as having the following primary characteristics: continued use/drug-seeking, tolerance, & avoidance of withdrawal symptoms. All of those factors are firmly & independently established for cannabis, in the literature & in anecdotes, for decades.

So even if the argument is that "addiction is a harsh term" & "cannabis addiction isn't so bad", that still doesn't address that it clearly is quite addictive.

I welcome & will read any highly-cited scholarly work that invalidates all of the studies above & many others - science involves adapting to new evidence when necessary. ] (]) 08:02, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

:In Misplaced Pages we say what sources say: ] and the addiction statement is a quote from the source. {{tpq|Marijuana use can lead to the development of problem use, known as a marijuana use disorder, which takes the form of addiction in severe cases. ... Marijuana use disorder becomes addiction when the person cannot stop using the drug even though it interferes with many aspects of his or her life. }}

:You seem to have some desire to make this a black and white issue of addictive/non-addictive; nowhere does it say that "cannabis is non-addictive" as you claim; again, we say what sources say: when the sources say that the issue is more nuanced, that is what is expressed with the quote. ---''']]''' 04:53, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Adding More Information

Hello, these are some sources that I would like to use while editing the article.

1. “State Marijuana Laws in 2018 Map.” Governing Magazine: State and Local Government News for America’s Leaders, 2018, www.governing.com/gov-data/state-marijuana-laws-mapmedical-recreational.html.

This article shows which states that have legalized marijuana for recreational use, medical use, or have not legalized it yet. It also says the year that the states legalized.

2. Barcott, Burce and Michael Scherer. “The Great Pot Experiment. (Cover Story). Time, vol. 185, no. 19, 25 May 2015, pp. 28-45. EBSCO host, search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct= true&db=aph&AN=102652987&site=ehost=live&scope=site.

In this article, a Manhattan resident experiments with rats and the effects of marijuana. The article explains how we do not know anything about marijuana due to the federal government not investing the time or resources to study the benefits and effects of this drug. In this study, it is confirmed that drug abuse symptoms are passed down through generations. However, the effects of marijuana are less severe than tobacco, nicotine and alcohol due to the fact marijuana is not a neurotoxin and it does not have connections to lung cancer. It also does not bring the risk of sudden death without a secondary factor like other drugs. Science, however, has found a clear indicator that marijuana can change developing brains, possibly affecting mental abilities and dispositions for people whose brain is still developing. The study also shows that there are positive effects with chronic pain. Cannabinoids interacts with receptors on the cells in the brain and immune system which allow them to reduce pain and inflammation. There is also a benefit when it comes to diseases like multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and PTSD.

This article is beneficial to this article because it does show the possible benefits of marijuana if it were to be legalized. Marijuana has many benefits for multiple reasons and there has not been enough research done by the FDA or the federal government. Marijuana does have negative effects when used at a young age but so does every drug. Marijuana is the only drug that could have major benefits to the well-being of the population if it was regulated and managed.

3. Steenkamp, Maria M., et al. “Marijuana and Other Cannabinoids as a Treatment for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: A Literature Review.” Depression & Anxiety (1091-4269), vol. 34, no. 3, Mar. 2017, pp. 207-216. EBSCO host, doi:10.1002./da.22596.

This article reviews the effects of marijuana and other cannabinoids on posttraumatic stress disorder. Clinical studies generally support the biological benefits of cannabis potential therapeutic effects, however, it all depends on the dosage. There has been reported benefits of cannabis and PTSD when it comes to nightmares and sleeping. Marijuana also benefits when it comes to depression, anxiety, and psychosis with PTSD. However, the negative benefits with PTSD include the development of the brain and misuse of the drug. The study states that there is not enough research yet to determine if marijuana will truly benefit PTSD more than harm it.

This study is going to help the article because it does state that there is harmful effect when it comes to marijuana. But it also states many benefits when it comes to marijuana and PTSD and other diseases. It helps when it comes to sleeping, depression, and anxiety. These benefits are huge when it comes to the normal population because it could help millions of people that suffer from these problems. The real problem of marijuana is the risk of taking the wrong dosage, which is a problem with all drugs that are legal or illegal. Ocris1 (talk) 02:18, 22 April 2018.


I think this article has good and relevant information, however some sections are lacking. I would suggest adding in more information in the mania symptoms section and also including more information and statistics for the gateway drug hypothesis section. Also, the brain subsection under physical health could easily be more lengthy. LexieP1997 (talk) 19:26, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
