IRB protocol # _11-0245_ ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION From “Getting High to “Getting Well”: Medical Cannabis Use among Midlife Patients in Colorado By Michelle Renee Newhart Ph.D. in Sociology University of Colorado, Boulder 2013 Professor Jane Menken, Chair Professor Stefanie Mollborn, Co-chair As of 2012, Colorado is on the forefront of cannabis medicalization but medicalization remains incomplete. Between 2010 and 2012, Colorado created the most regulated medical marijuana program in the United States. Over 100,000 patients, 2.5% of Coloradans, are now registered as medical marijuana patients. This dissertation examines the effects of incomplete medicalization among middle-aged medical cannabis patients in the state of Colorado. It is a qualitative study based on interviews with 40 individuals aged 30-68 who each received a physician’s recommendation for medical cannabis use in Colorado. Interviews were conducted between June 2011 and November 2012. This period immediately followed the rapid influx of patients into Colorado’s system, but preceded the passage of Amendment 64, the constitutional amendment that legalizes all adult use in the state. At the federal level, cannabis use remains illegal and punishable by law. Medicalization is when a nonmedical issue comes to be defined and treated as medical. When medicalization is incomplete, the issue has not been fully integrated, institutionally or in terms of its cultural framing. Medical cannabis crosses into the formal system of biomedicine, but it straddles institutional boundaries between health care systems and their logics. Culturally, cannabis remains closely associated with recreational use and with stereotypes of its users. So long as medicalization is incomplete, claims that medical cannabis use and the medical patient identity are legitimate remain in contest with nonmedical frames. Incomplete medicalization affects all aspects of the medical cannabis patient experience. This dissertation looks at how patients navigate the medical cannabis system, including how they manage doctor-patient interactions, establish medicalized routines of use, and integrate cannabis into the management of illness. It also examines how patients make sense of the medical cannabis patient identity. Cultural identity operates in the lifeworld. By looking at patients in midlife, I consider the significance of life course timing and close network ties for medical cannabis patients in Colorado. I also consider how patients disclose illness and/or medical marijuana use to others, and how patients adopt a political position of pride to counteract stigma and stereotypes. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many people to thank for their assistance with this dissertation. First, thanks to all the medical cannabis patients who included me in events and volunteered for interviews. I am truly humbled by the challenges that many patients face. Your stories encouraged me to rethink many ideas and I am incredibly grateful for your many generosities. I also owe special thanks to the larger medical cannabis community in Colorado, especially in Denver and Colorado Springs, who welcomed me to events, helped me network, and provided so many useful suggestions, and helped me reach patients, and generally supported my research with your interest and encouragement. I wish to thank my advisors Dr. Stefanie Mollborn and Dr. Jane Menken for their guidance and assistance with this dissertation. A special thanks to Dr. Mary Jo Neitz, my undergraduate mentor and dissertation committee member. You helped me discover sociology and encouraged me to attend graduate school in the first place. Now you have seen me through from start to finish. Thanks also to Dr. Amy Wilkins and Dr. Stefan Timmermans, who provided me with support by serving on my dissertation committee. I am also especially grateful to Todd Geoffrey Miller for making me pancakes, feeding the cats, listening to my fledgling ideas, and generally being helpful and patient. Thanks also to Mike Jerry for his transcription assistance, and Robin Madsen for her moral support. My gratitude to Ed Rosenthal and Jane Klein, who introduced me to the fascinating topic of cannabis. Finally, thanks to my mother, Cathy Newhart, who has always been my biggest fan, but has with time become one of my most trusted friends, and to my father Rick Newhart, who believed in me. I would not have made it through graduate school, or much else in life, without their encouragement, understanding, humor, and above all, love. iv CONTENTS Title Page i Signature Page ii Abstract iii Acknowledgments iv Table of Contents v List of Tables viii CHAPTERS Chapter 1: Understanding Medical Cannabis Use . 1 Aims of the Dissertation . 11 Background on Cannabis Use in the U.S. 17 Making Sense of Cannabis Policies . 29 Criminalization and Medicalization in the Twenty-First Century . 35 Normative Stance for this Project . 39 Overview of Chapters . 40 Chapter 2: Research Methods . 43 Entering the Field . 45 Focusing on Patients . 47 Recruitment and Sample Considerations . 51 Collecting Data: The Interview-based Qualitative Approach . 56 Analytical Approach . 61 The Study Sample: Colorado Patients at Midlife . 64 v Chapter 3: Literature Review . .68 Literature on Medical Marijuana Patients and Patient Programs . 68 Using Concepts from the Sociology of Health and Illness . 74 Theories about Drug Use . 82 The Relevance of Life Course Literature . 83 Literature on Stigma Management and Networks . 85 Chapter 4: Becoming a Medical Cannabis Patient in Colorado . 90 Introduction. 90 Qualifying for Medical Cannabis . 92 Deciding to Try Cannabis Medically . 96 Giving Medical Cannabis a “Test Run” . 105 Experiences with Doctors in the Recommendation Appointment . 109 Face-work in the Recommendation Setting . 124 Conclusion . 127 Chapter 5: Medical Cannabis Use in Everyday Life. 133 Interpreting Cannabis Effects . 134 Adaptations of Drug, Set, and Setting in Medical Use. 138 Changing the Set: Medical Routines of Cannabis Use . 142 Changes to Setting . 164 Life Course as Setting . 173 vi Chapter 6: Cannabis and Trends of Health, Medicine, and Pharmaceutical Intervention . 179 Defining Healthism and Pharmaceuticalization . 179 Healthism & Harms . 184 Healthism as a Pluralistic Space . 191 Cannabis, Pain, and Big Pharma . 193 Patient’s Opinions of Pharmaceuticalizing Cannabis . 202 Conclusion . 204 Chapter 7: Cannabis & Stigma . 206 Introduction . 206 Stereotypes & Stigmas . 211 Illness as Stigma . 212 Identifying with Cannabis: Practical Risks . 220 “Coming Out” for Cannabis: Stigma & Disclosing Cannabis Use . 226 Cannabis: From Shame to Pride . 228 Medical Marijuana as a “Thought Community” . 233 Shifting the Game: From Stigma to Prejudice . 238 Conclusion . 243 Chapter 8: Conclusion . 244 Summary of Findings . 244 Limitations & Recommendations for Future Research . 253 Conclusion. 256 References 259 vii TABLES Table 1: Drug Schedules……………………………………………………………………………… 31 Table 2: Patient Summary Statistics ……………………………………………………………. 67 Table 3: Patients by Year of First Doctor’s Recommendation …………………………. 95 viii CHAPTER 1: Understanding Medical Cannabis Use Karen uses medical cannabis1 for her migraines. Even though she and her husband were social users in their teens and early 20s before they started a family, that was a long time ago. Karen, a Hispanic wife and mom in her early 50s, lives in a small bedroom community outside the Boulder/Denver metro area. Her children are now the age she was when she last used cannabis. It never would have crossed Karen’s mind to try cannabis as a treatment for her migraines. It isn’t something that shows up in her world, and anyway, she would not have believed it would work, or that it was a very intelligent choice out of the available treatment options. What changed her mind? Her husband of over 30 years, Marcus, and his car accident. Back in 2000, Marcus was driving home from work. Another driver ran a stop sign and nailed the front end of his car, swinging his vehicle around until it landed on its side in a ditch. As dramatic as it sounds, the damage seemed to be mostly to the vehicles. Marcus, a healthy and athletic man, walked away from the accident, seemingly unscathed. When the ambulance arrived on the scene, he deferred medical treatment, but within days it was evident that he had suffered a serious closed head injury. Ultimately this injury was the source of a great deal of suffering: blinding headaches and unyielding back and neck pain that transformed his life completely. He was forced to

    Cannabis (Sub)Culture, the Subcultural Repository, and Networked Mediation

    SIMULATED SESSIONS: CANNABIS (SUB)CULTURE, THE SUBCULTURAL REPOSITORY, AND NETWORKED MEDIATION Nathan J. Micinski A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2014 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Rob Sloane © 2014 Nathan Micinski All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor Subcultural theory is traditionally rooted in notions of social deviance or resistance. The criteria for determining who or what qualifies as subcultures, and the most effective ways to study them, are based on these assumptions. This project seeks to address these traditional modes of studying subcultures and discover ways in which their modification may lead to new understandings and ways of studying subcultures in the contemporary moment. This will be done by suggesting a change in the criteria of examining subcultures from that of deviance or resistance to identification with a collection of images, symbols, rituals, and narratives. The importance of this distinction is the ability to utilize the insights that studying subcultures can offer while avoiding the faults inherent in speaking for or at a subculture rather than with or from it. Beyond addressing theoretical concerns, this thesis aims to apply notions of subcultural theory to study the online community of Reddit, in particular, a subset known as r/trees–a virtual repository for those images, symbols, rituals, and narratives of cannabis subculture. R/trees illustrates the life and vibrancy of a unique subcultural entity, which to this point has evaded a cultural studies analysis. To that end, this project advocates for the importance of the cultural studies approach to analyzing cannabis subculture and further, to insert the findings of this study into that gap in the literature.

    Selling Cannabis Regulation: Learning from Ballot Initiatives in the United States in 2012

    ISSN 2054-1910 Selling cannabis regulation: Learning From Ballot Initiatives in the United States in 2012 Emily Crick*, Mark Cooke¥ and Dave Bewley-Taylorp Policy Brief 6 | November 2014 Key Points • In November 2012, Washington, Colorado, and Oregon voted on ballot initiatives to establish legally regulated markets for the production, sale, use and taxation of cannabis.1 Washington and Colorado’s measures won by wide margins, while Oregon’s lost soundly. • A majority of voters view cannabis in a negative light, but also feel that prohibition for non-medical and non-scientific purposes is not working. As a result, they are more likely to support well-crafted reform policies that include strong regulations and direct tax revenue to worthy causes such as public health and education. • Ballot measures are not the ideal method for passing complicated pieces of legislation, but sometimes they are necessary for controversial issues. Other states often follow in their footsteps, including via the legislature. • The successful campaigns in Washington and Colorado relied on poll-driven messaging, were well organised, and had significant financing. The Oregon campaign lacked these elements. • The Washington and Colorado campaigns targeted key demographic groups, particularly 30-50 year old women, who were likely to be initially supportive of reform but then switch their allegiance to the ‘no’ vote. • Two key messages in Washington and Colorado were that legalisation, taxation and regulation will (i) free up scarce law enforcement resources to focus on more serious crimes and (ii) will create new tax revenue for worthy causes. • National attitudes on legalising cannabis are changing, with more and more people supporting reform.

  • Will Marijuana Legalization Increase Hospitalizations and Emergency Room Visits?

    Will Marijuana Legalization Increase Hospitalizations and Emergency Room Visits?

    nabi Can s P y o l c i i c l y o P S e s r i i b e a s n n a C WILL MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION INCREASE HOSPITALIZATIONS AND EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS? By Allie Howell July 2018 Since marijuana legalization will likely increase the availability and convenience of consuming marijuana, there is concern that it will also increase health emergencies. An especially prominent concern is that children will be more likely to ingest marijuana in states that have legalized adult use. Reason Foundation WILL MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION INCREASE HOSPITALIZATIONS AND EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS? 2 AVAILABILITY OF EDIBLES MAY INCREASE HOSPITALIZATIONS Traditionally, adult hospitalizations from marijuana use were almost unheard of. Legalization, however, has increased the availability of marijuana products, especially edibles that contain multiple “doses” of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Edibles have been cited as a common cause for marijuana emergencies because it takes longer to feel the effects of the drug, which may cause users to ingest more. By the time the peak effect of an edible is felt, the user may be extremely high and this may cause them to seek medical attention for acute intoxication.1 MARIJUANA-RELATED EMERGENCIES Edibles have also increased the prevalence of pediatric ingestion because of packaging that makes marijuana products look like candy or desserts. Between 2005 and 2011, there were 985 unintentional pediatric exposures (children nine and younger) in the U.S.2 In Colorado, emergency room visits for teenagers and young adults ages 13–21 increased from 1.8 per 1,000 in 2009 to 4.9 per 1,000 in 2015.3 Another study found that parents at an Aurora, Colorado children's hospital disclosed a history of marijuana exposure in 56% of patients (18 patients) in 2014 and 2015 compared with 19% of patients (three patients) in 2012 and 2013.

    Free Inquiry In Creative Sociology Volume 31 No. 1 May 2003 3 BLUNTS AND BLOWTJES: CANNABIS USE PRACTICES IN TWO CULTURAL SETTINGS AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR SECONDARY PREVENTION Stephen J. Sifaneck, Institute for Special Populations Research, National Development & Research Institutes, Inc. Charles D. Kaplan, Limburg University, Maastricht, The Netherlands. Eloise Dunlap, Institute for Special Populations Research, NDRI. and Bruce D. Johnson, Institute for Special Populations Research, NDRI. ABSTRACT Thi s paper explores two modes of cannabis preparati on and smoking whic h have manifested within the dru g subcultures of th e United States and the Netherlan ds. Smoking "blunts," or hollowed out cigar wrappers fill ed wi th marijuana, is a phenomenon whi ch fi rst emerged in New York Ci ty in the mid 1980s, and has since spread throughout th e United States. A "bl owtj e," (pronounced "blowt-cha") a modern Dutch style j oint whi ch is mixed with tobacco and in cludes a card-board fi lte r and a longer rolling paper, has become th e standard mode of cannabis smoking in the Netherl ands as well as much of Europe. Both are consid ered newer than the more traditi onal practi ces of preparin g and smoking cannabis, including the traditional fi lter-less style joint, the pot pipe, an d the bong or water pipe. These newer styles of preparati on and smoking have implications for secondary preventi on efforts wi th ac tive youn g cannabis users. On a social and ritualistic level th ese practices serve as a means of self-regulating cannabi s use.
