A perspective on psychedelics as treatments for addictions: Past, Present, and Future
J Stud Alcohol Drugs. 2024 Mar 22. doi: 10.15288/jsad.23-00032. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis Perspectives piece gives a brief overview on the last 70 years of psychedelic research in relation to the treatment of mental illness with a particular focus on addictions. We briefly precis the work in the 19650s/60s that started following the discovery of LSD. Then we overview research developments over the past twenty years driven by emerging neuroscience on these agents, the rise of MDMA use in psychotherapy and the emergence of ketamine as a treatment for mental illnesses. We then briefly outline new research on the brai...

Event-level drinking intentions, social drinking contexts, and motives affect alcohol consumption among same-sex female couples
CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest that partner influences have a strong effect on drinking at the daily level, and can be strengthened or weakened when drinking for specific reasons. These findings expand on prior daily diary research on the effects of drinking motives by examining how these processes unfold in same-sex female couples and their intersection with partner intentions.PMID:38517748 | DOI:10.15288/jsad.23-00203 (Source: Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs)

Evidence for the induction of analgesic cross-tolerance between opioid and apelin/APJ systems in male rats
CONCLUSION: Chronic administration of apelin or morphine induces analgesic cross-tolerance that may, in part, be mediated through receptor interactions and downregulation. The demonstrated efficacy of F13-A in these experiments highlights its potential as a novel target for improving pain management through the inhibition of the apelin/APJ signaling pathway, meriting further investigation.PMID:38517751 | DOI:10.15288/jsad.23-00377 (Source: Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs)

Order of Cannabis and Alcohol Use on Pregaming and Non-Pregaming Days among College Students
CONCLUSIONS: Findings have implications for brief interventions with students, as analyses suggested that both cannabis use and pregaming, independent of number of drinks consumed, are risky behaviors associated with alcohol-related consequences.PMID:38517753 | DOI:10.15288/jsad.23-00043 (Source: Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs)

A Within-Person Examination of Alcohol Involved and Non-Alcohol Involved Internal and External Sexual Consent Communication
DISCUSSION: Alcohol use did not influence internal consent and was associated with a reduced use of implicit communication. The disinhibiting effects of alcohol may lead people to feeling more confident and open about expressing their sexual desires. Affirmative consent initiatives can use findings to encourage more clear communication and continue to educate on gender differences in sexual consent.PMID:38517758 | DOI:10.15288/jsad.23-00260 (Source: Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs)
