Marketing strategies targeting the sexual minority community may increase the likelihood of using various cannabis ROA and subsequent use.SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: Findings further our knowledge about how young adult women are using cannabis, and highlight how ROA may contribute to the disparities observed among SMW.PMID:37830429 | DOI:10.1111/ajad.13487 (Source: The American Journal on Addictions)

Brief report: Synthetic cannabinoid use among military personnel
CONCLUSION AND SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: While members of the military experimented with SCs, habitual use of SCs within the Armed Forces does not appear widespread. The perception that SCs are excluded from all urinalyses may contribute to experimentation, but the unpleasant experience generally discourages recurrent use.PMID:37717217 | DOI:10.1111/ajad.13482 (Source: The American Journal on Addictions)

Factors associated with daily use of benzodiazepines/tranquilizers and opioids among people who use drugs
CONCLUSIONS AND SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: Clinicians working with PWUO or who prescribe BZDs or opioids should screen patients who use cocaine or synthetic cannabinoids, have low level of educational attainment, or recently accessed mental health services, as these patients may be at higher risk for daily co-use of BZD/TRQ and opioids, and therefore lethal overdose.PMID:37717256 | DOI:10.1111/ajad.13483 (Source: The American Journal on Addictions)
