  • Marijuana Decriminalization: Should Pittsburgh Follow Philadelphia's
    Marijuana Decriminalization: Should Pittsburgh Follow Philadelphia’s Lead? The Major in Ethics, History, and Public Policy ​ ​ Senior Capstone Project December 14th, 2015 Jack Devine Daniel Kusbit Stephen Nimalasuriya Lisa Tu Gabriel Vegh­Gaynor Abstract ​ Pittsburgh Councilman Daniel Lavelle recently introduced a bill to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana within city limits. This legislative action follows on the heels of the passage of a similar bill in Philadelphia last year. We undertook in­depth research and analyses of decriminalization efforts from a legal, historical, public health, and social scientific perspective. In this presentation, we recommend that the City Council pass the bill, which proposes a new, civil violation law enforcement option in addition to penalties prescribed by state and federal drug laws. Based on analysis of the experiences of other cities, states, and nations that have decriminalized marijuana possession, we conclude that the risk posed by decriminalization policy in terms of health and social costs are small if not insignificant, compared to its potential to address racial disparities in marijuana possession arrests, community police relations, and the significant costs of enforcing these laws borne by those arrested and taxpayers generally.

    Molecular Psychiatry (2021) 26:41–50 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41380-020-00949-3 PERSPECTIVE Polysubstance use in the U.S. opioid crisis 1 1 2 Wilson M. Compton ● Rita J. Valentino ● Robert L. DuPont Received: 30 March 2020 / Revised: 4 October 2020 / Accepted: 29 October 2020 / Published online: 13 November 2020 © The Author(s) 2020. This article is published with open access Abstract Interventions to address the U.S. opioid crisis primarily target opioid use, misuse, and addiction, but because the opioid crisis includes multiple substances, the opioid specificity of interventions may limit their ability to address the broader problem of polysubstance use. Overlap of opioids with other substances ranges from shifts among the substances used across the lifespan to simultaneous co-use of substances that span similar and disparate pharmacological categories. Evidence suggests that nonmedical opioid users quite commonly use other drugs, and this polysubstance use contributes to increasing morbidity and mortality. Reasons for adding other substances to opioids include enhancement of the high (additive or synergistic reward), compensation for undesired effects of one drug by taking another, compensation for negative internal states, or a common predisposition that is related to all substance consumption. But consumption of multiple substances may itself have unique effects. To achieve the maximum benefit, addressing the overlap of opioids with multiple other substances is needed 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: across the spectrum of prevention and treatment interventions, overdose reversal, public health surveillance, and research. By addressing the multiple patterns of consumption and the reasons that people mix opioids with other substances, interventions and research may be enhanced.

Teens in trou- ble: cigarette use and risky behaviors among private, high school students in La Paz, Bolivia. Rev Panam Salud Publica. 2007;22(3):160–8. ABSTRACT Objective. To describe the prevalence of cigarette smoking and to identify risky behaviors as- sociated with smoking among adolescents attending high schools in a district of La Paz, Bolivia. Methods. The Youth Risk Behavior Survey was administered to a sample of 394 males and 182 females, from 13–18 years of age, at six, randomly-selected schools in District II of La Paz. Frequencies, chi-square tests, and logistic regression were employed to identify factors associ- ated with cigarette use during the 30 days prior to the survey. Results. Approximately 40% of the sample (39.4% of males and 33.7% of females) had smoked cigarettes in the 30 days prior to interview. For both males and females, consumption of alcohol was the single greatest risk factor associated with cigarette use. The males and fe- males who reported consuming at least one alcoholic beverage on three or more occasions in the previous 30 days were 22.3 and 58.5 times (95% CIs: 6.7, 74.1 and 6.8, 502.6, respectively) more likely to smoke tobacco than those who reported no alcohol consumption.

  • Alterations of Amphetamine Reward by Prior Nicotine and Alcohol Treatment: the Role of Age and Dopamine
    brain sciences Article Alterations of Amphetamine Reward by Prior Nicotine and Alcohol Treatment: The Role of Age and Dopamine Andrea Stojakovic 1,2, Syed Muzzammil Ahmad 1 and Kabirullah Lutfy 1,* 1 Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of Pharmacy, Western University of Health Sciences, 309 East 2nd Street, Pomona, CA 91766, USA; [email protected] (A.S.); [email protected] (S.M.A.) 2 Department of Neurology, Mayo Clinic, 200 First St. SW, Rochester, MN 55905, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Evidence suggests that nicotine and alcohol can each serve as a gateway drug. We determined whether prior nicotine and alcohol treatment would alter amphetamine reward. Also, we examined whether age and dopaminergic neurotransmission are important in this regard. Male and female adolescent and adult C57BL/6J mice were tested for baseline place preference. Mice then received six conditioning with saline/nicotine (0.25 mg/kg) twice daily, followed by six conditioning with saline/ethanol (2 g/kg). Control mice were conditioned with saline/saline throughout. Finally, mice were conditioned with amphetamine (3 mg/kg), once in the nicotine-alcohol-paired chamber, and tested for place preference 24 h later. The following day, mice were challenged with amphetamine (1 mg/kg) and tested for place preference under a drugged state. Mice were then immediately euthanized, their brain removed, and nucleus accumbens isolated and processed for the level of dopamine receptors and transporter and glutamate receptors. We observed a greater amphetamine- induced place preference in naïve adolescents than adult mice with no change in state-dependent Citation: Stojakovic, A.; Ahmad, place preference between the two age groups.

INTRODUCTION The medical problems associated with smoking in the United States have reached epidemic proportions.! Cigarettes are the nation's leading preventable cause of death and have given rise to the "most important public health issue of our time."2 Despite the serious health risks inherent in smoking, however, it is on the rise among the nation's young people.

The purpose of the current study was to replicate and extend past work on asthma and smoking by examining the unique predictive ability of asthma diagnosis in terms of smoking behavior and smoking-related cognitive processes among adult daily smokers. Participants were 251 regular daily smokers: 125 smokers with self-reported, physician-diagnosed asthma (54% male; Mage = 37.66 years, SD = 12.12) and 126 smokers without asthma (70.4% male; Mage = 36.51 years, SD = 13.05) who completed a battery of self-report measures. Partially consistent with hypotheses, after controlling for gender, race, number of medical problems, and alcohol consumption, asthma diagnosis was a significant predictor of age of regular smoking onset (1.9% unique variance), number of quit attempts (2.5% unique variance), and self-control reasons for quitting (2.6% unique variance). Results for nicotine dependence and daily smoking rate approached significance. Contrary to prediction, asthma diagnosis did not significantly predict smoking motives, reasons for quitting related to health concerns, or barriers to cessation.
