Disabilità e dolore: il caso della cannabis terapeutica. Fisionomia e limiti del diritto alla cura nel decreto del Ministero della Salute 9 novembre …
2022
Il contributo illustra l’originale struttura del mercato della cannabis terapeutica, ricostruendo la legislazione italiana in materia, di cui si mette in luce la dubbia compatibilità con i principi di libera circolazione e di concorrenza. La specialità del settore è comunemente giustificata alla luce delle esigenze di salute pubblica, dell’ordine pubblico e della pubblica sicurezza la cui tutela è sottesa anche ai più recenti interventi normativi: specialità che non consente tuttavia di giudicare la regolazione della cannabis terapeutica conforme all’interpretazione consolidata degli articoli 49, 52, 56, 106 T.f.Ue e alla altrettanto stabile giurisprudenza della Corte costituzionale italia…
Physiological Aspects of Nitrogen Fertilizer Impact on Latvian Origin Cannabis Sativa L .
2015
The aim of the present study was to evaluate nitrogen fertilizer impact on photosynthesis and yield of hemp, applying modern non-destructive methods. The main object of the investigation – hemp cultivar of Latvian origin ‘Pūriņi’. Laboratory and field experiments showed diverse effects of different nitrogen fertilizer doses on various parameters. Additional nitrogen fertilizer dose of 60 kg ha-1 is most effective as evaluated by chlorophyll content in hemp leaves and changes of chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters. Nitrogen fertilizer negatively affected fiber content in hemp stems, therefore while cultivating hemp only for fiber production use of nitrogen fertilizer should be reduced. Acc…
Consumo de alcohol, tabaco, cannabis y otras drogas en la adolescencia: efectos de la familia y el barrio [Use of alcohol, tobacco, cannabis and othe…
2015
The aim of this study was to analyze the protective or risk factors of parental educational styles for the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, cannabis and other drugs, considering the interaction of parenting styles with the dangerousness of the neighborhood. Based on the responses of 628 adolescents, 369 females (58.8%) and 259 males (41.2%) between 15 and 17 years old (<em>M</em> = 16.03 years old, <em>SD</em> = 0.79 years old), families were classified according to their educational style (authoritative, indulgent, authoritarian or neglectful) and their level of perceived neighborhood risk (high or low). Results showed no interaction effect; however, main effects of…
The epidemiology of anabolic-androgenic steroids use among secondary students (Valencia-Spain)
2019
The consumption of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) is continuously growing in recent years among young people. The purpose of the current study was to examine the proportion of students who reported AAS use, explore other drug use among them and finally to determine the sociodemographic profile of the AAS consumption amongst a sample of students in the Valencian Region (Spain). Method. Data was taken from a self-administrated survey of a representative sample of 1,1162 Valencian students. A total of 252 schools participated in the study. Results. The findings show that 3.3% of surveyed students reported that they had consumed AAS. Males reported to take anabolic more frequently than fema…
Fast extraction of cannabinoids in marijuana samples by using hard-cap espresso machines
2018
Abstract A simple, quick and low cost procedure was developed for the extraction of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol, and cannabinol from marijuana samples, based on the use of a hard-cap espresso extraction with 2-propanol. After extraction, cannabinoids were directly determined after appropriate dilution by gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry, reaching a limit of detection from 0.03 to 0.05 mg g−1. Extraction efficiency was evaluated by the comparison of results obtained for seized samples by the proposed method and a reference methodology based on ultrasound-assisted extraction. Moreover, ion mobility was proposed for the rapid and sensitive determination of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol …
Psychosocial maladjustment in adolescence: parental socialization, self-esteem, and substance use
2018
Este estudio analiza la vulnerabilidad de los adolescentes a par- tir de la autoestima y el consumo de sustancias, y la protección o riesgo del estilo de socialización. La muestra fue de 1445 adolescentes españoles (59.4% mujeres), 600 tempranos de 12 a 15 años (41.5%) y 845 tardíos de 16 a 17 años (58.5%). Las familias se clasificaron en una de las cuatro tipo- logías: indulgente, autorizativa, autoritaria y negligente. El ajuste de los hijos se midió con autoestima (emocional, familiar y física) y consumo de sustan- cias (alcohol, tabaco, cannabis y drogas de síntesis). Los resultados mostra- ron que en la adolescencia tardía la vulnerabilidad fue mayor que en la tem- prana. Se encontró u…
Estudio del consumo de alcohol y otras drogas en alumnos/as de los cursos de monitores/as de ocio y tiempo libre
2009
Partimos de la idea de que las drogas alteran nuestras emociones, nuestras capacidades y actitudes y nos preguntamos si los/as alumnos/as que realizan los cursos de monitores/ as de ocio y tiempo libre consumen drogas y cómo es dicho consumo, ya que después, van a trabajar con menores y jóvenes, Para averiguarlo, utilizamos el Test de Identifi cación de los Trastornos Debidos al Consumo de Alcohol (AUDIT), para identifi car a las personas con un patrón de consumo perjudicial o de riesgo de alcohol. Y para conocer el resto de sustancias consumidas utilizaremos La Historia Toxicológica, mencionando para cada sustancia; inicio, frecuencia y tiempo de consumo. Como resultados destacamos que un …
Modernization of the current cannabis legal framework and its potential economic gains
2017
The main topic of the article is to observe the current regulatory policy of cannabis and the reasons why it should be reorganized so that the society could gain largest potential economic benefit. The author basically wanted to prove the need for changes in international cannabis regulation. In order to gain the best results, the author uses legal and comparative analysis research methods and as credible sources exploits mainly drug reports published by international organizations, scientific journal and official government data. The main findings are that the current international legislation regarding cannabis is outdated, ineffective and actually obstructs the society from researching t…
Experiencing Effects of Cocaine and Speed with Self-Regulation Therapy.
2015
AbstractThis study demonstrates the efficacy of Self-Regulation Therapy (SRT) to induce effects of cocaine and speed in a single session. SRT is a suggestion procedure of sensorial recall exercises (salivation, feeling of weight, tension, etc.) that increases the capacity to reproduce all sensation types and those that drugs produce. The Self-Regulation Scale (SRS) measures this capacity. Four groups participated, formed according to drug use: Group 1 (uses no illegal drugs); Group 2 (experimentally uses cannabis only); Group 3 (moderate drug users); Group 4 (regular drug users, especially stimulants). All four groups participated in an SRT session to induce relaxation. No differences in th…
T110. FIRST EPISODE PSYCHOTIC PATIENTS WITH A HISTORY OF FREQUENT CANNABIS USE EXPRESS MORE POSITIVE SYMPTOMS AT ILLNESS ONSET THAN THOSE WHO NEVER U…
2018
Abstract Background Robust evidence has demonstrated that cannabis use increases the risk to develop psychotic disorders. However, a limited number of studies have investigated if and how cannabis use influences psychopathology profiles at first episode psychosis (FEP). Based on the evidence that dopamine dysfunction contributes to explain positive symptoms in psychosis, and that the main cannabis’ psychoactive component, Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), modulates the dopamine system, we hypothesise that: 1) positive symptoms at FEP are more common among psychotic patients who used cannabis compared with never users; 2) this association is a dose-response relationship. Methods We analyzed a s…
