Abstract

Purpose of review: Review of US medical and recreational marijuana laws (MML and RML), their effects on cannabis potency, prevalence of non-medical cannabis use and cannabis use disorder (CUD) in adolescents and adults, and implications for neuroscience research, given what is known about the relationship of cannabis to neurocognitive impairments and underlying brain functioning.

Recent findings: Cannabis potency may be increasing faster in states with MML or RML than in other states. MML and RML have not impacted prevalence in adolescents but have consistently been shown to increase rates of adult non-medical use and CUD.

Summary: Recent neurocognitive or neuroimaging studies may be more impacted by cannabis than studies conducted when MML and RML were less common. Neurocognitive or neuroimaging studies conducted in MML or RML states should carefully test potential participants for recent cannabis use. More research is needed on cannabis and cognition in medical marijuana patients.

医学和娱乐大麻法律对神经科学研究的影响:综述。

审查目的:审查美国医用和娱乐性大麻法律(MML和RML)，其对大麻效力的影响，青少年和成人非医用大麻使用和大麻使用障碍(CUD)的流行，以及对神经科学研究的影响，鉴于大麻与神经认知障碍和潜在脑功能的关系。最近的研究发现:大麻的效力在有MML或RML的州可能比在其他州增长得更快。MML和RML对青少年的患病率没有影响，但一直显示出增加成人非医疗使用和CUD的比率。摘要:最近的神经认知或神经影像学研究可能比MML和RML不常见时进行的研究更受大麻的影响。在MML或RML状态下进行的神经认知或神经影像学研究应仔细测试潜在参与者最近使用大麻的情况。大麻与医用大麻患者认知的关系有待进一步研究。

期刊介绍： Under the leadership of Emil Coccaro, Current Behavioral Neuroscience Reports will provide an in-depth review of topics covering personality and impulse control disorders, psychosis, mood and anxiety disorders, genetics and neuroscience, geropsychiatry and cognitive disorders of late life, child and developmental psychiatry, addictions, and neuromodulation.We accomplish this aim by inviting international authorities to contribute review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. By providing clear, insightful balanced contributions, the journal intends to serve those involved in the field of behavioral neuroscience.
