7 Addictiveness Long-term marijuana use can lead to addiction. Approximately 9 percent of users will become addicted to marijuana. This number increases to 17 percent among those who start young. 7

8 Addictiveness So 1 in 6 young people who start using marijuana in adolescence become addicted. National Institutes of Health, National Institute on Drug Abuse Topics in Brief: Marijuana. Available: 8

9 Alcohol and Tobacco In Colorado, adult marijuana use is now HIGHEST in the country 13.6% of adults in CO are regular users, with rates of 18.5% in Denver Just like tobacco and alcohol, a report prepared for the Colorado Department of Revenue showed that the vast majority of marijuana demand in that state emanates from the regular users those who consume daily or near daily In CO, the top 21.8% of users make up almost 67% of demand for marijuana in the state 9

10 Increased Use Among Teens Pacula et al found that two features of medical marijuana home cultivation and dispensaries are positively associated with youth marijuana use and have important implications for states considering legalization of marijuana. An Emory University study found an 8.3% increase in the baseline prevalence rate caused by having retail dispensaries, as well as a 5% increase in youth initiation rates for marijuana related to medical marijuana laws Wall, M., et al., 2011; Johnston, L.D., et al., and Pacula et al 2013 Wen, Hefei. Hockenberry, Jason M. Cummings, Janet R. The effect of medical marijuana laws on adolescent and adult use of marijuana, alcohol, and other substances. 22 May Journal of Health Economics. 10

11 Marijuana January 17, the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine releases comprehensive report on Marijuana The report examined: Health Effects of Recreational and Therapeutic Use of Cannabis and Cannabis-Derived Products 11

12 NIDA While cannabis use, particularly smoked cannabis, poses some long-term health and safety risks, there is evidence that cannabis or cannabinoids can treat certain medical conditions, which include nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy, spasticity from multiple sclerosis, and pain. I have concerns that the report summary and press coverage may give the impression that the findings apply equally to the cannabis plant ( medical marijuana ) and to the cannabinoid formulations that have undergone rigorous clinical trials. Dr. Nora Volkow Director (National Institute on Drug Abuse, NIH) 12

13 Is Botanical Marijuana a Medicine? Impure plant: with 750+ chemicals, 100+ cannabinoids; actions, interactions unknown Doses: THC, CBD, inconsistent, unregulated Smoking: most common route, health hazard to lungs Evidence for Safety: no long term studies or adverse events Evidence for effectiveness: Poor quality or non-existent Edibles, vapors, resins: evidence zero or very limited Short, long term adverse effects: Cognitive- and motorimpairment; amotivation, psychosis, etc. 13

14 FDA Approved Cannabinoids Marinol Capsules (1985): THC to treat nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy only if safer conventional antiemetics are ineffective Marinol Capsules (1992): THC to treat anorexia associated with weight loss in patients with AIDS only if safer conventional antiemetics are ineffective Syndros (dronabinol oral solution): same indications Cesamet Capsules (1985): Nabilone to treat nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy only if safer conventional antiemetics are ineffective 14

15 Marijuana and Adolescence Use by age 15= 3.6 times less likely to graduate from high school 2.3 times less likely to enroll in college 3.7 times less likely to get college degree. Thurstone, Christian, Dr. Marijuana Use & Pregnancy. May 14, Available at 15

16 Marijuana Lowers your IQ A recent study found that those who used marijuana heavily in their teens and continued through adulthood showed a permanent drop in IQ of 8 points. A loss of 8 IQ points could drop a person of average intelligence into the lowest third of the intelligence range. 1M.H. Meier, Avshalom Caspi, et al Persistent cannabis users show neuropsychological decline from childhood to midlife. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 16

17 For Parents Marijuana use will hurt YOUR child s IQ, grades, and ability to graduate from high school! 17

18 For Teachers/Schools Increased marijuana use will result in reduced academic achievement for which teachers/school system will be blamed College students with high levels (17 days/month) of marijuana use were twice as likely as those with minimal use (less than 1 day/month) to have an enrollment gap while in college. In 2015, 38 percent of college students indicated that they had used marijuana in the prior 12 months, up from 30 percent in

19 Mental Health Regular marijuana use by adolescents and young adults is strongly associated with developing psychotic symptoms and disorders such as schizophrenia in adulthood for those people with an underlying genetic vulnerability to developing this disease This risk is higher among those who start using marijuana at a younger age This risk is higher with more frequent marijuana use 19

20 Lung Cancer One study found that in 16% of those who smoked 50 or more times, their risk for getting lung cancer doubled. Callaghan RC, Allebeck P, Sidorchuk A. Marijuana use and risk of lung cancer: a 40-year cohort study. Cancer Causes Control Oct;24(10): doi: /s Epub 2013 Jul 12. PubMed PMID: Also see: 20

24 Marijuana Impairs Driving A new NIDA study found: Marijuana's active chemical THC affects weaving within a road lane in a similar way to a blood alcohol level of.08, the legal limit in many states. Marilyn Huestis of NIDA: One of the things we know happens with cannabis is that it reduces your field of vision and you get tunnel vision, so you're unable to react as quickly. 24

25 Impaired Driving Marijuana is the most prevalent illegal drug detected in impaired drivers, fatally injured drivers, and motor vehicle crash victims. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Drug Involvement of Fatally Injured Drivers. U.S. Department of Transportation Report No. DOT HS Washington, DC: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,

26 Impaired Driving Driving under the influence of marijuana is associated with a 92% increased risk of vehicular crashes. Such driving is associated with a 110% increase in fatal crashes. Asbridge, M., Hayden, JA, Cartwirght, JL. Acute cannabis consumption and motor vehicle collision risk: systematic review of observational studies and meta-analysis. British Medical Journal, 2012; 344 (epub): e536. PMID:

27 Impaired Driving Researchers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, found 44 % of college men said they drove after smoking marijuana in the previous month, compared with 12% who said they drove after drinking. 27
