High impact information on Marijuana Smoking

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Marijuana Smoking

  • In view of associated findings that marijuana smoking decreased myocardial oxygen delivery, decreased exercise time until the onset of anginal pain, and increased myocardial oxygen demand in anginal patients, the use of marijuana by such patients is clearly inadvisable [11].
  • This study was conducted to determine if plasma ethanol levels are altered as a result of smoking marihuana [12].
  • During placebo marijuana smoking, i.e., active marijuana withdrawal, ratings of irritability, restlessness, depression, and trouble sleeping were increased by bupropion compared to placebo maintenance [13].
  • Clonidine partially blocks the physiologic effects but not the subjective effects produced by smoking marijuana in male human subjects [14].
  • Brodifacoum intoxication with marijuana smoking [15].
 

Anatomical context of Marijuana Smoking

 

Gene context of Marijuana Smoking

  • These studies suggest that marijuana smoking and immune activation can alter the basal levels of CB1 and CB2 in PBMCs [17].
  • Concentrations of THC and CBD, comparable to plasma levels found after smoking marijuana (10-100 ng/ml), increased the concentration of measurable IFN (139 and 68%), while high concentrations of both cannabinoids (5-20 micrograms/ml) completely blocked synthesis and/or release of this cytokine [18].
  • Marijuana smoking was associated with bilateral CBF increase, which was maximal 30 min later [19].
  • In the present study, the potential mutagenic effects of marijuana smoking were investigated with a somatic cell mutation assay that detects mutations occurring in vivo in the hprt gene [20].
  • Significant changes were observed in the serum total lipids, triglycerides and HDL subfractions after hashish smoking [21].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Marijuana Smoking

  • To investigate the effects of chronic marijuana smoking on lung function, pulmonary function tests including single-breath carbon monoxide diffusing capacities were performed in 15 healthy women who smoked 1.7 +/- 1.4 (mean +/- SD) marijuana cigarettes per day for 235 +/- 135 days per year for a mean of 10.5 +/- 3.7 years [22].
