Extensive phytocannabinoid profiles of seized cannabis and cannabis-based medicines – Identification of potential distinguishing markers
2021
As the frequency of cannabis-based therapy increases, the ability to distinguish intake of cannabis-based medicines from recreational cannabis use becomes desirable. Minor cannabinoids have been suggested to indicate recreational cannabis use in biological matrices but are unreliable when presumably also present in directly plantderived medicines. Thus, for therapeutics such as medical cannabis, Sativex® and Dronabinol, a more thorough investigation of cannabinoid profiles is required to identify possible distinguishing markers. In this study, 16 phytocannabinoids were quantified in samples of seized and medical cannabis, Sativex® and Dronabinol from two different manufacturers, using a val…
A gloss to the Supreme Administrative Court judgement of 17 July 2018 (II GSK 844/18)

yrok, którego dotyczy glosa, prezentuje przełomowe stanowisko Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego, w którym sąd uznał, że decyzja Ministra Zdrowia w przedmiocie odmo-wy udzielenia zgody na refundację leku zawierającego medyczną marihuanę narusza prawa pacjenta w zakresie wyboru skutecznej metody leczenia, podczas gdy inne konwencjonalne metody okazały się nieskuteczne. W ocenie sądu ewentualne wątpliwości – zarówno co do wykładni przepisów dotyczących ochrony zdrowia, jak i oceny stanu faktycznego konkretnej sprawy – rozstrzygać należy na rzecz ochrony życia i zdrowia ludzkiego. Leczenie prepa-ratami zawierającymi medyczną marihuanę wpisuje się w nurt in dubio pro vita humana.
The association of cannabis use with fast-food consumption, overweight, and obesity among adolescents aged 12-15 years from 28 countries
2022
Background: Cannabis legalization and use have risen globally. However, the association between cannabis use, eating behaviors and body weight among adolescents is yet unexplored. Objectives: This study examined the association between cannabis use, fast-food consumption, overweight and obesity in 28 countries using data from the 2010–2016 Global School-Based Student Health Survey. Methods: Multivariable logistic regression and meta-analysis were performed among a sample of 83,726 adolescents (48.7% females) aged 12–15 years, mean (SD) age of 13.8 (0.9) years. Results: The overall prevalence of cannabis use (in past 30 days) and fast-food consumption (in past 7 days) were 2.8% and 57.3% res…
