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.
Long-term effects of cannabis
if u want to Long-term effects of cannabis i will help u pls contect me on nishu.sharma76@yahoo.com from -nepal
Dunedin Study - Meir et Al. 2012
I have integrated a study that has been influential to my belief that cannabis has harmful longterm effects on mental health, the title unequivocally takes a position: "Persistent cannabis users show neuropsychological decline from childhood to midlife"
The addition contrasts with the previous tepid take that fixates in the inconsistency between studies, instead of focusing into the aspects that have been consistently replicated.
One of the most starkly contradicting sources appears quite strong, albeit only as recent as 2018, it's a free form review of current literature on the subject by pharmacologists. It proposes that the direction of causality is in reverse, that low intelligence causes cannabis use. The strongest sources of this review cited were:
- A systematic review of 105 papers. I'm not sure whether this will side with the 2012 Dunedin Study or with the Pharmacologist's review. I hope I can read it soon, or somebody can take a look and integrate it themselves, to reduce the effect of my own biases.
- A 2018 twin study Coauthored by the same lead of the 2012 dunedin study. I have not been able to access the actual pdf, but by glancing the abstract, title and commentary from the 2018 review it seems consistent with the pharmacologist interpretation, that it contradicts her 2012 work and lends credence to the inverse causality hypothesis. (If anyone can upload it, or rent and check whether it does in fact contradict her earlier findings, I'd appreciate it, she might address some key points to this discussion in it.)
Objectivity aside, and original research mode on, my hypotheses so far are: A) Our knowledge on cannabis prior to 2012 was heavily flawed and recent advances in methodology or quantity of evidence have shed light into alternative explanations that contradict the cognitive decline hypothesis. B) Meier's 2018 work provides an explanation for the cotwin studies consiistent with her early findings, or otherwise limits their refutation to a smaller subset of her original claims. And that she was selectively misinterpreted by the Pharmacologists (note how her 2012 study wasn't cited at all), possible for the reasons put forward in Hypothesis C. C) In a shift related to the wide legalization of cannabis in the USA, economic incentives were formed for USA journal publishers to publish positive research on cannabis.
Whether option C is paranoic or not, the difficulty of dismissing it points to an underlying weakness of the cited corpus, which is almost predominantly USA-based. If someone knows of citable work not from the USA, it would help avoid such a bias, regardless of whether its recent legalization might have polluted the objectivity of their scientific journals. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11481-018-9782-9#ref-CR14 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11481-018-9782-9#ref-CR60 https://en.wikipedia.org/Green_rush https://en.wikipedia.org/Decriminalization_of_non-medical_cannabis_in_the_United_States#State_recreational_legalization_begins_(2012)

Reread the abstract from Meier 2017/2018, her conclusion seems to reduce the errata to short term use in adolescence, rather than recanting all of her earlier findings:
"Short‐term cannabis use in adolescence does not appear to cause IQ decline or impair executive functions, even when cannabis use reaches the level of dependence."
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/add.13946
Good news for adolescents with the desire to experiment and lots of confidence in their self-control abilities. Still looking bad for persistent adolescent users. --TZubiri (talk) 09:16, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
Cannabis
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.

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 (legalisation of cannabis is particularly bad here) is deeply political issue and this often clouds research.
Please be civil and respectful in your replies. Thank you.
