Scientists who study pot made various discoveries in 2015, from finding out about the health impacts of regularly using the drug medicinally and recreationally, to making sense of which sicknesses and conditions are destined to arise from the substance’s use. Here is a year-end gathering of top three marijuana stories reported in 2015, on the off chance that some missed them.
First of all, more people are using marijuana. Cannabis use in the United States dramatically increased between 2001 and 2013, as indicated by research announced in 2015 in the journal JAMA Psychiatry. Over this 12-year period, the evaluated number of United States grown-ups who had used pot during the last 12 months grew from 4.1% in 2001 to 9.5% in 2013. Disorders connected to marijuana, which incorporate issues with drug addiction and reliance, likewise climbed, expanding from 1.5% of the grown-up populace in 2001 to 2.9% in 2013, the study proved.
Secondly, new revelations about conditions helped by marijuana came out. Specialists at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom reviewed the last eighty studies that included an estimation of 6,500 individuals. The scientists reasoned that medical cannabis might offer some alleviation for individuals with tumor-related agony, nerve pain, or muscle spasms brought about by multiple sclerosis.
Thirdly, there are unforeseen risks of medical cannabis. The majority of consumable medical pot items that scientists at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore experimented in an investigation in 2015 were incorrectly marked. Just 13 of the 75 tried marijuana consumables, for example, baked foods, refreshments and candy, purchased from dispensaries in California and Washington state had labels that correctly recorded the measure of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, in them, as per the examination, published in June in the journal JAMA.
