"content": "\u003cp>Marijuana, it seems, is not a performance-enhancing drug. That is, at least, not among young people, and not when the activity is learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A study \u003ca href=\"https://www.psychiatrist.com/JCP/article/Pages/2018/v79/17m11977.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published Tuesday\u003c/a> in the \u003cem>Journal of Clinical Psychiatry \u003c/em>finds that when adolescents stop using marijuana — even for just one week — their verbal learning and memory improve. The study contributes to growing\u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3930618/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> evidence that marijuana use in adolescents\u003c/a> is associated with reduced neurocognitive functioning.[contextly_sidebar id=\"gapfFkqeMFkKiddjhmrAPnGjnaQfV5tT\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 14 percent of students in middle school and high school reported using marijuana within the past month, finds a \u003ca href=\"http://www.monitoringthefuture.org/pubs/monographs/mtf-overview2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Institutes of Health survey\u003c/a> conducted in 2017. And marijuana use has increased among high-schoolers over the past 10 years, according to the\u003ca href=\"https://www.hhs.gov/ash/oah/adolescent-development/substance-use/marijuana/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> U.S. Department of Health & Human Services\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, the percentage of teens who believe that regular marijuana use poses a great risk to their health has\u003ca href=\"http://www.monitoringthefuture.org/pubs/monographs/mtf-vol2_2016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> dropped sharply since the mid-2000s\u003c/a>. And legalization of marijuana may play a part in shaping how young people think about the drug. One study noted that \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5365078/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">after 2012, when marijuana was legalized\u003c/a> in Washington state, the number of eighth-graders there that believed marijuana posed risks to their health dropped by 14 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers are particularly concerned with marijuana use among the young because THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, most sharply affects the parts of the brain that develop during adolescence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The adolescent brain is undergoing significant neurodevelopment well into the 20s, and the regions that are last to develop are those regions that are most populated by cannabis receptors and are also very critical to cognitive functioning,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www.mghaddictionmedicine.com/about/staff/randi-schuster-ph-d/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Randi Schuster\u003c/a>. Schuster is the director of neuropsychology at Massachusetts General Hospital's Center for Addiction Medicine and the study's lead author.[contextly_sidebar id=\"lZELc7PUUZvmD5VTorbXygfap5jLk01F\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schuster and the team of researchers set out to determine if cognitive functions that are potentially harmed by marijuana use in adolescents — particularly attention and memory — improve when they abstain from marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They recruited 88 pot-using teens and young adults, ages 16 to 25, and got some of them to agree to stop smoking (or otherwise consuming) marijuana for the month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schuster says the researchers wanted to recruit a range of participants, not just heavy users or those in a treatment program, for example. Some of the young people smoked once per week; some smoked nearly daily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers randomly assigned the volunteers into an abstaining group and a nonabstaining group. They delivered the bad news to those chosen to be abstainers at the end of their first visit, and Schuster says, they took it surprisingly well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People were generally fine,\" she says. \"We kind of went through what the next month would look like and helped them come up with strategies for staying abstinent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One motivation for the non-tokers to stick with the program? They received increasing amounts of money each week of the month-long study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers urine-tested both groups on a weekly basis to make sure that the THC levels for the abstinent group were going down, and that the levels for the control group were staying consistent as they continued using.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also at each visit, the participants completed a variety of tasks testing their attention and memory through the\u003ca href=\"http://www.cambridgecognition.com/cantab/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery\u003c/a>, a validated cognitive assessment tool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers found that after four weeks, there was no noticeable difference in attention scores between the marijuana users and the nonusers. But, the memory scores of the nonusers improved, whereas the users' memories mostly stayed the same.[contextly_sidebar id=\"c4SATwAqatlL4R15kRXVJih13AxNqqVR\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The verbal memory test challenged participants to learn and recall new words, which \"lets us look both at their ability to learn information the first time the words were presented, as well as the number of words that they're able to retrieve from long-term memory storage after a delay,\" Schuster says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Verbal memory is particularly relevant for adolescents and young adults when they're in the classroom, Schuster says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For an adolescent sitting in their history class learning new facts for the first time, we're suspecting that active cannabis users might have a difficult time putting that new information into their long-term memory,\" Schuster says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this study didn't prove that abstaining from cannabis improves adolescents' attention, other studies have found that \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3930618/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">marijuana users fare worse in attention tests\u003c/a> than nonusers. Schuster hypothesizes it might take more than four weeks of abstinence for attention levels to improve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, most of the memory improvement for the abstinent group happened during the first week of the study, which leaves the researchers feeling hopeful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were pleasantly surprised to see that at least some of the deficits that we think may be caused by cannabis appear to be reversible, and at least some of them are quickly reversible, which is good news,\" Schuster says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One weakness of this study is its lack of a non-marijuana-using control group, says \u003ca href=\"https://uwm.edu/psychology/people/lisdahl-krista-m/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Krista Lisdahl\u003c/a>, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee who was not involved with the study but also researches the neuroscience of addiction. Because of this, it's difficult to conclude whether the improvements in memory brought the participants back to their baseline levels prior to using marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, because the study lasted only four weeks, it's impossible to draw conclusions about the long-term effects of marijuana usage for young people, such as how marijuana directly affects academic performance, sleep patterns or mood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lisdahl says that longitudinal studies such as the NIH's\u003ca href=\"https://abcdstudy.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study\u003c/a> could provide more information about what marijuana does to the adolescent brain. It might also reveal what happens if adolescents stop using marijuana and if their brain functioning can completely recover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lisdahl is helping with the NIH study, which has, to date, enrolled more than 11,000 children ages 9 and 10 and will follow them into young adulthood. It's the largest long-term research study on child brain development in the U.S., and it assesses how everything from screen time to concussions to drugs affect adolescents' brains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Lisdahl says the findings from the new study — that abstinence from marijuana is associated with improvements in adolescents' learning and memory — sends a positive message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I remain optimistic that we can show recovery of function with sustained abstinence,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Rachel D.

Schuster is the director of neuropsychology at Massachusetts General Hospital's Center for Addiction Medicine and the study's lead author.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schuster and the team of researchers set out to determine if cognitive functions that are potentially harmed by marijuana use in adolescents — particularly attention and memory — improve when they abstain from marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They recruited 88 pot-using teens and young adults, ages 16 to 25, and got some of them to agree to stop smoking (or otherwise consuming) marijuana for the month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schuster says the researchers wanted to recruit a range of participants, not just heavy users or those in a treatment program, for example. Some of the young people smoked once per week; some smoked nearly daily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers randomly assigned the volunteers into an abstaining group and a nonabstaining group. They delivered the bad news to those chosen to be abstainers at the end of their first visit, and Schuster says, they took it surprisingly well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People were generally fine,\" she says. \"We kind of went through what the next month would look like and helped them come up with strategies for staying abstinent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One motivation for the non-tokers to stick with the program? They received increasing amounts of money each week of the month-long study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers urine-tested both groups on a weekly basis to make sure that the THC levels for the abstinent group were going down, and that the levels for the control group were staying consistent as they continued using.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also at each visit, the participants completed a variety of tasks testing their attention and memory through the\u003ca href=\"http://www.cambridgecognition.com/cantab/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery\u003c/a>, a validated cognitive assessment tool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers found that after four weeks, there was no noticeable difference in attention scores between the marijuana users and the nonusers. But, the memory scores of the nonusers improved, whereas the users' memories mostly stayed the same.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The verbal memory test challenged participants to learn and recall new words, which \"lets us look both at their ability to learn information the first time the words were presented, as well as the number of words that they're able to retrieve from long-term memory storage after a delay,\" Schuster says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Verbal memory is particularly relevant for adolescents and young adults when they're in the classroom, Schuster says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For an adolescent sitting in their history class learning new facts for the first time, we're suspecting that active cannabis users might have a difficult time putting that new information into their long-term memory,\" Schuster says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this study didn't prove that abstaining from cannabis improves adolescents' attention, other studies have found that \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3930618/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">marijuana users fare worse in attention tests\u003c/a> than nonusers. Schuster hypothesizes it might take more than four weeks of abstinence for attention levels to improve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, most of the memory improvement for the abstinent group happened during the first week of the study, which leaves the researchers feeling hopeful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were pleasantly surprised to see that at least some of the deficits that we think may be caused by cannabis appear to be reversible, and at least some of them are quickly reversible, which is good news,\" Schuster says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One weakness of this study is its lack of a non-marijuana-using control group, says \u003ca href=\"https://uwm.edu/psychology/people/lisdahl-krista-m/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Krista Lisdahl\u003c/a>, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee who was not involved with the study but also researches the neuroscience of addiction. Because of this, it's difficult to conclude whether the improvements in memory brought the participants back to their baseline levels prior to using marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, because the study lasted only four weeks, it's impossible to draw conclusions about the long-term effects of marijuana usage for young people, such as how marijuana directly affects academic performance, sleep patterns or mood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lisdahl says that longitudinal studies such as the NIH's\u003ca href=\"https://abcdstudy.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study\u003c/a> could provide more information about what marijuana does to the adolescent brain. It might also reveal what happens if adolescents stop using marijuana and if their brain functioning can completely recover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lisdahl is helping with the NIH study, which has, to date, enrolled more than 11,000 children ages 9 and 10 and will follow them into young adulthood. It's the largest long-term research study on child brain development in the U.S., and it assesses how everything from screen time to concussions to drugs affect adolescents' brains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Lisdahl says the findings from the new study — that abstinence from marijuana is associated with improvements in adolescents' learning and memory — sends a positive message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I remain optimistic that we can show recovery of function with sustained abstinence,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And that makes it harder to study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The limited research that exists suggests that marijuana may be helpful in treating pain and nausea, according to a research overview published last year by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine.

That means dose and consistency can vary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s still so much left to learn about how to package, how to ensure quality and standards,” he said. “So the question is how to make sure the people are getting high-quality product and then testing its effectiveness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there are risks associated with cannabis use too, said \u003ca href=\"https://www.samhsa.gov/about-us/who-we-are/leadership/biographies/elinore-mccance-katz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Elinore McCance-Katz\u003c/a>, who directs the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you have an industry that does nothing but blanket our society with messages about the medicinal value of marijuana, people get the idea this is a safe substance to use. And that’s not true,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Side effects can include increased heart rate, nausea and vomiting, and with long-term use, there’s a potential for addiction, some studies say. \u003ca href=\"https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/marijuana#ref\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Research suggests\u003c/a> that between 9 and 30 percent of those who use marijuana may develop some degree of marijuana use disorder.[contextly_sidebar id=\"6j0KZXlPn7yaSYGjVSehNhYUNN3fBDa4\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Reuben said, if it gets patients off more addictive and potentially dangerous prescription drugs — like opioids — all the better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Levy, 71, suffers a pinched nerve that shoots pain down both his legs. He uses a topical cream and ingests cannabis gelatin capsules and lozenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have no way to measure, but I’d say it gets rid of 90 percent of the pain,” said Levy, who — like other seniors here — pays for these products out-of-pocket, as Medicare doesn’t cover cannabis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I got something they say is wonderful and I hope it works,” said Shirley Avedon. “It’s a cream.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The price tag: $90. Avedon said if it helps ease the carpal tunnel pain she suffers, it’ll be worth it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s better than having surgery,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Precautions To Keep In Mind\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though marijuana use remains illegal under federal law, it’s legal in some form in 30 states and the District of Columbia. And a growing number of Americans are considering trying it for health reasons. For people who are, doctors advise the following cautions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Talk to your doctor.\u003c/strong> Tell your doctor you’re thinking about trying medical marijuana. Although he or she may have some concerns, most doctors won’t judge you for seeking out alternative treatments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Make sure your prescriber is aware of all the medications you take. Marijuana might have dangerous interactions with prescription medications, particularly medicines that can be sedating, said Dr. Benjamin Han, a geriatrician at New York University School of Medicine who studies marijuana use in the elderly.[contextly_sidebar id=\"ALEswggsqFbUQfgVlASKJNkpkpppsnzm\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watch out for dosing.\u003c/strong> Older adults metabolize drugs differently than young people. If your doctor gives you the go-ahead, try the lowest possible dose first to avoid feeling intoxicated. And be especially careful with edibles. They can have very concentrated doses that don’t take effect right away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elderly people are also more sensitive to side effects. If you start to feel unwell, talk to your doctor right away. “When you’re older, you’re more vulnerable to the side effects of everything,” Han said. “I’m cautious about everything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Look for licensed providers.\u003c/strong> In some states like California, licensed dispensaries must test for contaminants. Be especially careful with marijuana bought illegally. “If you’re just buying marijuana down the street … you don’t really know what’s in that,” said Dr. Joshua Briscoe, a palliative care doctor at Duke University School of Medicine who has studied the use of marijuana for pain and nausea in older patients. “Buyer, beware.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bottom line:\u003c/strong> The research on medical marijuana is limited. There’s even less we know about marijuana use in older people.

As they ate, she gave a presentation focused on the potential benefits of cannabis as a reliever of anxiety, insomnia and chronic pain and the various ways people can consume it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several vendors on site took turns speaking to the group about the goods they sell. Then, the seniors entered the dispensary for the chance to buy everything from old-school rolled joints and high-tech vaporizer pens to liquid sublingual tinctures, topical creams and an assortment of sweet, cannabis-infused edibles.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Lebowitz, 75, is a return customer who suffers pain from back surgery two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He prefers to eat his cannabis, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I got chocolate and I got gummies,” he told a visitor. “Never had the chocolate before, but I’ve had the gummies and they worked pretty good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gummies” are cannabis-infused chewy candies. His contain both the CBD and THC, two active ingredients in marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Derek Tauchman rings up sales at one of several Bud and Bloom registers in the dispensary. Fear of getting high is the biggest concern expressed by senior consumers, who make up the bulk of the dispensary’s new business, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What they don’t realize is there’s so many different ways to medicate now that you don’t have to actually get high to relieve all your aches and pains,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But despite such enthusiasm, marijuana isn’t well researched, said Dr. David Reuben, the Archstone Foundation professor of medicine and geriatrics at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While cannabis is legal both medically and recreationally in California, it remains a Schedule 1 substance — meaning it’s illegal under federal law. And that makes it harder to study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The limited research that exists suggests that marijuana may be helpful in treating pain and nausea, according to a research overview published last year by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. Less conclusive research points to it helping with sleep problems and anxiety.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reuben said he sees a growing number of patients interested in using it for things like anxiety, chronic pain and depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am, in general, fairly supportive of this because these are conditions [for which] there aren’t good alternatives,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Reuben cautions his patients that products bought at marijuana dispensaries aren’t FDA-regulated, as are prescription drugs. That means dose and consistency can vary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s still so much left to learn about how to package, how to ensure quality and standards,” he said. “So the question is how to make sure the people are getting high-quality product and then testing its effectiveness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there are risks associated with cannabis use too, said \u003ca href=\"https://www.samhsa.gov/about-us/who-we-are/leadership/biographies/elinore-mccance-katz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Elinore McCance-Katz\u003c/a>, who directs the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you have an industry that does nothing but blanket our society with messages about the medicinal value of marijuana, people get the idea this is a safe substance to use. And that’s not true,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Side effects can include increased heart rate, nausea and vomiting, and with long-term use, there’s a potential for addiction, some studies say. \u003ca href=\"https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/marijuana#ref\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Research suggests\u003c/a> that between 9 and 30 percent of those who use marijuana may develop some degree of marijuana use disorder.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Reuben said, if it gets patients off more addictive and potentially dangerous prescription drugs — like opioids — all the better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Levy, 71, suffers a pinched nerve that shoots pain down both his legs. He uses a topical cream and ingests cannabis gelatin capsules and lozenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have no way to measure, but I’d say it gets rid of 90 percent of the pain,” said Levy, who — like other seniors here — pays for these products out-of-pocket, as Medicare doesn’t cover cannabis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I got something they say is wonderful and I hope it works,” said Shirley Avedon. “It’s a cream.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The price tag: $90. Avedon said if it helps ease the carpal tunnel pain she suffers, it’ll be worth it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s better than having surgery,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Precautions To Keep In Mind\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though marijuana use remains illegal under federal law, it’s legal in some form in 30 states and the District of Columbia. And a growing number of Americans are considering trying it for health reasons. For people who are, doctors advise the following cautions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Talk to your doctor.\u003c/strong> Tell your doctor you’re thinking about trying medical marijuana. Although he or she may have some concerns, most doctors won’t judge you for seeking out alternative treatments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Make sure your prescriber is aware of all the medications you take. Marijuana might have dangerous interactions with prescription medications, particularly medicines that can be sedating, said Dr. Benjamin Han, a geriatrician at New York University School of Medicine who studies marijuana use in the elderly.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watch out for dosing.\u003c/strong> Older adults metabolize drugs differently than young people. If your doctor gives you the go-ahead, try the lowest possible dose first to avoid feeling intoxicated. And be especially careful with edibles. They can have very concentrated doses that don’t take effect right away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elderly people are also more sensitive to side effects. If you start to feel unwell, talk to your doctor right away. “When you’re older, you’re more vulnerable to the side effects of everything,” Han said. “I’m cautious about everything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Look for licensed providers.\u003c/strong> In some states like California, licensed dispensaries must test for contaminants. Be especially careful with marijuana bought illegally. “If you’re just buying marijuana down the street … you don’t really know what’s in that,” said Dr. Joshua Briscoe, a palliative care doctor at Duke University School of Medicine who has studied the use of marijuana for pain and nausea in older patients. “Buyer, beware.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bottom line:\u003c/strong> The research on medical marijuana is limited. There’s even less we know about marijuana use in older people. Proceed with caution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Jenny Gold and Mara Gordon contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of a partnership that includes \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/news/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NPR\u003c/a> and Kaiser Health News.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
