WORD OF THE DAY:

Gatra-bhanga ancient sanskrit or hindi word meaning “body disintegrator.


HIGH SCIENCE/RESEARCH FINDINGS:
Thank you to Sarah Russo and Dan Goldman for both texting me about this article and bringing it to my attention.
https://www.leafly.com/news/health/cbd-can-help-with-heroin-addiction-study-finds

Researchers in NYC (Shout to Mount Sinai) teamed up with a team in Spain. Dr. Yasmin Hurd is one of the authors of the paper, she is a colleague of mine. I have hosted panels that she has been on. She’s one of the enlightened drug abuse researchers. And someone I am hoping to work with on some of the institutes work. The work was published in the journal of neuroscience this week.

TAKE HOME MESSAGE: The study in rats, translated into its human potential could mean that after abstaining from opioid use for a time, CBD could prevent relapse. But may have no effect on first wave of opioid addiction, CBD may not prevent the development of addiction but may help break the cycle or relapse after abstinence.


Cannabis and its benefits remain controversial Reports exist showing THC can both help or hurt regarding opioid use

Little research exists on CBD’s effect on opioid or heroin use Rats were trained to self- administer heroin, they learned very quickly Rats

were trained using environment cues Rats were given CBD during different phases of drug abuse cycle drug addiction cycle involves maintenance, extinction, and relapse CBD has no effect on any part of opioid use during first part of experiment After two weeks off of heroin, rats were challenged in “treatment tank” CBD protected rats from seeking out morphine when placed back in the “treatment tank” The effect lasted two weeks- which is amazing


Ren, Y., Whittard, J., Higuera-Matas, A., Morris, C. V., & Hurd, Y. L. (2009). Cannabidiol, a nonpsychotropic component of cannabis, inhibits cue-induced heroin seeking and normalizes discrete mesolimbic neuronal disturbances. Journal of Neuroscience, 29(47), 14764–14769.

CANNABUSTING:
Finding or Fiction?
When you hear strange things about Marijuana...Who you gonna Call?! CANNABUSTERS

1.Newsweek reports arrests are up at LAX for flying with cannabis.

2. Did you know JFK smoked pot in the white house?
While in the white house he suffered from severe back pain and addison’s disease, some claim Kennedy used cannabis to treat his conditions but there is no supporting evidence for this myth. He was taking several medications to help him function.
“On the evening of July 16, 1962, according to [Washington Post executive] Jim Truitt, Kennedy and Mary Meyer smoked marijuana together. … The president smoked three of the six joints Mary brought to him. At first he felt no effects. ”According
to Mr. Truitt, “They smoked three of the joints before he (J.F.K.) told her: ‘No more. Suppose the Russians did something now.'”
The most widely referenced account of Kennedy’s supposed marijuana use was not primarily linked with his health or with medical treatment. Rather, it was an anecdotal account of JFK’s supposedly being introduced to recreational pot use by one of his mistresses
that was published in the National Enquirer tabloid in 1976 and referenced in the 1984 book The Kennedys: An American Drama by Peter Collier and David Horowitz. That latter work drew the following criticism in the aforementioned New York Times letter to the
editor:

4. Man sues Albertsons, claiming he was wrongfully terminated over medical marijuana
Tom Lee's attorney says he was fired from his job, because he was using medical marijuana legally."He was doing a lot of work," Carden said. "One particular palette tipped as it got to the higher shelf and a couple cases of ramen noodles fell. That was the big
disaster that happened, we lost some ramen."

5) Why are voters in Portland, OR upset with their cannabis program this week? Oregon
voters expected the revenue from pot taxes to go towards rebuilding disadvantaged communities. Instead, most of the income was used to backfill police budget shortages.
