Holmes, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2017, 76, 56-66. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neubiorev.2016.12.033 Abstract The endocannabinoid (eCB) system has attracted attention for its role in various behavioral and brain functions, and as a therapeutic target in neuropsychiatric disease states, including anxiety disorders and other conditions resulting from dysfunctional responses to stress. In this mini-review, we highlight components of the eCB system that offer potential ‘druggable’ targets for new anxiolytic medications, emphasizing some of the less well-discussed options. We discuss how selectively amplifying eCBs recruitment by interfering with eCB-degradation, via fatty [...]

Shapiro, M.A. Ware, Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2008,178,13, 1669-1678 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2413308/pdf/20080617s00017p1669.pdf Abstract Background : The therapeutic use of cannabis and cannabisbased medicines raises safety concerns for patients, clinicians, policy-makers, insurers, researchers and regulators. Although the efficacy of cannabinoids is being increasingly demonstrated in randomized controlled trials, most safety information comes from studies of recreational use. Methods : We performed a systematic review of safety studies of medical cannabinoids published over the past 40 years to create an evidence base for cannabis-related adverse events and to facilitate future cannabis research initiatives. We critically evaluated [...]

Preclinical Science and Clinical Studies – Commentary DOI: 10.1159/000489291 https://www.karger.com/Article/Pdf/489291 Abstract The botanical drug cannabis flos (inflorescence of Cannabis sativa L.) has a unique popular status as being a potent recreational drug and bona fide universal remedy (panacea). Generally, cannabinoids exert therapeutic effects in a broad range of pathophysiologies related to inflammation, pain, metabolic and stress-related conditions in preclinical animal models. However, the translation of such data to humans still lacks an evidence-based foundation. Motivated by the booming cannabis manufacturing industry and the increasing worldwide self-therapy [...]

R. INGOLD ; C. SUEUR ; C. D. KAPLAN | Dans Annales Médico-Psychologiques, Revue psychiatrique (Vol.173, n°5, Juin 2015) Résumé Nous rendons ici hommage à Moreau (de Tours) pour son travail sur le haschisch et les essais thérapeutiques avant-gardistes qu’il a menés. Le cannabis est connu pour ses utilisations à visée thérapeutique depuis au moins 6000ans avant notre ère. Nous examinons les données ethnobotaniques, biologiques et cliniques qui font état de ces usages. L’identification récente des premiers cannabinoïdes et de leurs mécanismes d’action via les récepteurs CB1 et CB2 a été à [...]

Abstract This review considers the potential influences of the use of cannabis for therapeutic purposes (CTP) on areas of interest to mental health professionals, with foci on adult psychopathology and assessment. We identified 31 articles relating to the use of CTP and mental health, and 29 review articles on cannabis use and mental health that did not focus on use for therapeutic purposes. Results reflect the prominence of mental [...]
