In August 2024, King Mohammed VI pardoned over 4800 Cannabis farmers in Morocco. This came as part of the country's wider legalization efforts to tap into the economic potential of the booming global cannabis market. Morocco is one of the world's leading cannabis producers, and in 2021 it approved a bill regulating cannabis cultivation for medical, pharmaceutical and industrial purposes. According to the Global Organized Crime Index, this step towards better regulation has contributed to Morocco's increased resilience score for National Policies and Laws from 6.0 to 6.5. However, the vast majority of Morocco's territorial areas of cultivation remain in the hands of the illicit economy. With a score of 9 out of 10, Morocco currently sits at the top of the OC Index for Cannabis Trade.Presenter: Thin Lei WinSpeaker(s): Raouf Farrah, Senior Analyst, Global Initiative against Transnational Organized CrimeLinksWebinar - Morocco's regularization of cannabis production: Anticipated impacts on the illicit cannabis economy Morocco Country ProfileThe Global Organized Crime IndexGlobal Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime

Association of State Cannabis Legalization With Cannabis Use Disorder and Cannabis Poisoning JAMA Psychiatry This longitudinal cohort study examined the association of state-level medical and recreational cannabis laws with cannabis use disorder (CUD) and cannabis poisonings in the adult population with employer-sponsored health insurance. The study showed that from 2011 to 2021, states with legalized medical cannabis experienced 42.7% and 88.6% increases in CUD and cannabis poisoning, respectively, compared to states without legalized medical cannabis. States with legalized recreational cannabis experienced a 31.6% increase in cannabis poisoning compared to states without legalized recreational cannabis. Thus, state medical cannabis legalization was associated with increased CUD and cannabis poisonings, and state recreational cannabis legalization was associated with increased cannabis poisoning in the adult population with employer-sponsored health insurance.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Matthew Hill, Ph.D., a professor of cell biology and anatomy at the Hotchkiss Brain Institute at the University of Calgary and an expert on the biology of cannabis. We discuss how cannabis affects the brain to produce its psychoactive effects (feeling “high”), including altered time perception, focus, memory, appetite, and stress. We discuss how THC vs. cannabidiol (CBD) affects the brain, the effects of different routes of cannabis administration (e.g., smoking, vaping, edibles), high-potency THC, and whether cannabis is addictive. We discuss if there is a link between cannabis use and the development of psychosis, anxiety, bipolar depression, or schizophrenia.  We discuss whether CBD has clinical benefits in regulating stress, promoting sleep, and treating certain diseases. We also discuss if there are real and consistent differences in the biological effects of different cannabis strains, if cannabis impacts hormones, and the uses of cannabis for the management of pain, stress, Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and nausea. Listeners of this episode will get an up-to-date understanding of what is currently known about how cannabis affects the brain and body, including both its potential benefits and risks.
