Re: [DIV28SUPER] Marijuana

There were too many articles for the listserv- but I wanted to share the two websites to the whole group. (Bill, let me know if you did not receive the articles.)

Best,

Krista

Hello Bill,

My name is Krista Lisdahl, and studying the neurocognitive effects of Marijuana is my specialty area. I also consult on a lot of policy work (e.g., I serve on the DHHS cannabis board on WI, who is preparing a report on MJ policy considerations- e.g., cannabinoid science- esp medicinal uses, prohibition vs. decriminalization vs. legalization). I'm attaching 2 review articles,a couple articles re: medicinal research, and a few articles focused on MJ policy. There are tons of resources, but this will get you started. I'd also recommend you look the Marijuana Science Forum (http://marijuanascienceforum.org/) which tracks some of this research. The University of Washington also has a good site: http://learnaboutmarijuanawa.org/.

Best,

Krista

QUESTION:

1-I am looking for either or both excellent resources (e.g., texts, journal articles, etc.) on marijuana (good effects, bad, etc.). Since its legalization in some states and pushing quickly forward in others, I would like to know the pros/cons of using this. I primarily work with kids (3-22 y/o) and families and would like to know the scientific facts about this

Thanks in advance,

Bill Hosmer, PhD

Swedish Match argues its product, Snus — moist ground tobacco in a sachet to be tucked between the lip and the gum — is far less harmful than cigarettes.
