  • The Advisability and Feasibility of Developing USP Standards for Medical Cannabis Gabriel I
    STIMULI TO THE REVISION PROCESS Stimuli articles do not necessarily reflect the policies of the USPC or the USP Council of Experts The Advisability and Feasibility of Developing USP Standards for Medical Cannabis Gabriel I. Giancaspro, Nam-Cheol Kim, Jaap Venema, Susan de Mars, Jennifer Devine, Carlos Celestino, Christine E. Feaster, Ben A. Firschein, Mary S. Waddell, Stephen M. Gardner, and Earl Jones Jr.a ABSTRACT This Stimuli article analyzes the need for public quality standards for medical cannabis (defined herein as marijuana used for medical purposes under state laws) and the potential role of the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) in addressing that need.1 Following legalization of the medical use of cannabis in several U.S. states and internationally, USP has received requests to investigate the advisability and feasibility of developing quality standards for medical cannabis. Development of quality standards for medical cannabis requires consideration of a wide range of scientific, legal, and policy issues that reach far beyond its classification as a botanical drug or herbal medicine. This article discusses the current regulatory and scientific landscape regarding medical cannabis, identifies issues related to the lack of quality standards for medical cannabis, and explores potential options for developing quality standards. USP seeks input from stakeholders on whether USP should proceed with development of quality standards for medical cannabis and if so, what approaches should be utilized to establish such standards. LEGAL AND REGULATORY LANDSCAPE The federal and state regulatory environment surrounding the medical use of cannabis involves many federal agencies and various different state laws. The evolving legal environment is an important consideration when evaluating the advisability and feasibility of USP developing a public standard for cannabis.

  • Hemp: a New Crop with New Uses for North America*
    Reprinted from: Trends in new crops and new uses. 2002. J. Janick and A. Whipkey (eds.). ASHS Press, Alexandria, VA. Hemp: A New Crop with New Uses for North America* Ernest Small and David Marcus “Hemp” refers primarily to Cannabis sativa L. (Cannabaceae), although the term has been applied to dozens of species representing at least 22 genera, often prominent fiber crops. For examples, Manila hemp (abaca) is Musa textilis Née, sisal hemp is Agave sisalina Perrine, and sunn hemp is Crotolaria juncea L. Especially confusing is the phrase “Indian hemp,” which has been used both for narcotic Asian land races of C. sativa (so-called C. indica Lamarck of India) and Apocynum cannabinum L., which was used by North American Indians as a fiber plant. Cannabis sativa is a multi-purpose plant that has been domesticated for bast (phloem) fiber in the stem, a multi-purpose fixed oil in the “seeds” (achenes), and an intoxicating resin secreted by epidermal glands. The common names hemp and marijuana (much less frequently spelled mari- huana) have been applied loosely to all three forms, although historically hemp has been used primarily for the fiber cultigen and its fiber preparations, and marijuana for the drug cultigen and its drug preparations. The current hemp industry is making great efforts to point out that “hemp is not marijuana.” Italicized, Cannabis refers to the biological name of the plant (only one species of this genus is commonly recognized, C. sativa L.). Non-italicized, “cannabis” is a generic abstraction, widely used as a noun and adjective, and commonly (often loosely) used both for cannabis plants and/or any or all of the intoxicant preparations made from them.

  • Effects of Combined THC and Heroin Vapor Inhalation
    Psychopharmacology https://doi.org/10.1007/s00213-021-05904-w ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION Efects of combined THC and heroin vapor inhalation in rats Arnold Gutierrez1,2 · Jacques D. Nguyen1,2 · Kevin M. Creehan1,2 · Mehrak Javadi‑Paydar1 · Yanabel Grant1,2 · Michael A. Tafe1,2 Received: 27 April 2021 / Accepted: 27 May 2021 © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2021 Abstract Rationale Opioids are efective medications, but they have several key limitations including the development of tolerance, establishment of dependence, diversion for non-medical use, and the development of addiction. Therefore, any drugs which act in an additive or synergistic fashion with opioids to address medical applications have the potential to reduce opioid- related harms. Objectives To determine if heroin and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) interact in an additive or independent manner to alter nociception, body temperature, and spontaneous locomotor activity when inhaled or injected. Methods Groups of female and male rats, implanted with radiotelemetry transmitters, were exposed to vapor generated from heroin (50 mg/mL in propylene glycol vehicle; PG), THC (50 mg/mL), or the combination for assessment of efects on temperature and activity. Thermal nociception was assessed with a warm water tail-withdrawal assay. Results Heroin inhalation increased temperature and activity whereas THC inhalation decreased temperature and activity in both female and male Sprague–Dawley rats. Efects of combined inhalation were in opposition, and additional experiments found the same outcome for the injection of heroin (0.5 mg/kg, s.c.) and THC (10 mg/kg, i.p.) alone and in combination.
