Objectives
Identify the symptoms of marijuana intoxication
Review the research related to the short and long term effects of marijuana on the brain and body
Explore the medical uses of marijuana
Discuss marijuana as a gateway drug
What is It
Marijuana refers to the dried leaves, flowers, stems, and seeds from the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa.
The plant contains the mind-altering chemical delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
Extracts with high amounts of THC can also be made from the cannabis plant
How is it Used
Smoked
Joints
Pipes or water pipes (bongs)
Blunts—emptied cigars that have been partly or completely refilled with marijuana.
Vaporized
Pull the active ingredients from the marijuana and collect their vapor in a storage unit which is inhaled instead of smoke.
Eaten: Brownies, cookies, or candy, or brew it as a tea.
How is it Used
Resins: A newly popular method of use is smoking or eating different forms of THC-rich resins
Smoking THC-rich resins extracted from the marijuana plant is on the rise. Users call this practice dabbing. People are using various forms of these extracts, such as:
hash oil or honey oil—a gooey liquid
wax or budder—a soft solid with a texture like lip balm
shatter—a hard, amber-colored solid
Oral Ingestion
Orally consumed cannabinoids tends to be stronger and last longer (4-6 hours) than inhaled cannabis.
This is because of the way bodies metabolize THC.
When cannabis is inhaled, THC passes rapidly from the lungs to the blood stream and to the brain.
When cannabis is consumed orally, a significant portion of THC is converted into the metabolite 11-hydroxy-THC before reaching the brain.
This metabolite is believed to be slightly more potent than THC and possesses a greater blood-brain penetrability
Short Term Effects
THC effects are felt more slowly when the person eats or drinks it. (30 minutes to 1 hour)
Effects
Altered senses (for example, seeing brighter colors)
Temporary hallucinations
Altered sense of time
Changes in mood
Impaired body movement
Difficulty with thinking and problem-solving
Impaired memory
Breathing problems. Marijuana smoke irritates the lungs
Increased heart rate for up to 3 hours after smoking
Cannabis has historically been known to bear medicinal benefits and researchers continue to find more reasons why patients require cannabis prescriptions. The 5 uses featured here are by no means the only uses for medical marijuana though they are some of the most common uses.
This presentation will review the current research around medical marijuana and discuss the issues around the recent legalization of recreational use. We will explore common clinical questions regarding marijuana use including testing and concurrent controlled substance use.

Habla sobre la problemática de la marihuana, sus efectos, porque es una adicción y datos al nivel mundial que son necesarios que una persona debe conocer acerca de sus efectos, usos y patologías
Our goal is to provide an environment where patients are treated with the compassion and understanding they deserve. We want to make the process informative yet simple.
The effects and types of marijuana that we get are determined by a lot of things. Among them are the place of cultivation and the stain of the marijuana. Yet the main types of marijuana that gives birth to all these other types are usually cannabis indica and cannabis sativa.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

2. Marijuana Marijuana is a green, brown or gray mixture of dried, shredded leaves, stems, seeds, and flowers of the hemp plant. All forms of marijuana are mind-altering Marijuana’s effects on the user depend on it’s strength or potency, which is related to the amount of THC it contains Cannabis sativa
3. History Marijuana has been used as an agent for achieving euphoria since ancient times The first direct reference to a cannabis product as a psychoactive agent dates from 2737 BC In 1545 the Spanish brought marijuana to the New World Medicinally used in labour pains, nausea and rheumatism
4. Medicinal Uses Alzheimer's disease Neuron growth Lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Breast cancer HIV/AIDS Brain cancer
5. Marijuana in India Used during observance of certain rituals Government-owned shops in holy cities like Varanasi sell marijuana in the form of bhang Despite the high prevalent usage, the law makes it illegal to possess any form of the drug
6. Criticism Smoking as a method of consumption Weed being more potent than it used to be Effects on short term memory A joint contains 4 times more tar than a cigarette Withdrawal symptoms irritability, stomach pain, aggression, and anxiety
7. Cannabis joints are potentially the most harmful method of consumption. Burning temperature can reach up to 700⁰C. distorted perceptions impaired coordination difficulty in thinking and problem solving problems with learning and memory Addictive Potential Marijuana and Mental Health
8. Effects on the Heart Marijuana increases heart rate by 50% shortly after smoking Effects on the Lungs marijuana smoke contains carcinogens which are irritant to the lungs
9.
10. Conclusion Marijuana has great potential in medicine, with the extraction of THC from the rest of the compounds. Major obstacle is its availability in required quantity for research and the abuse potential makes matters worse.
