Today's science review articles are all about cannabis edibles.

The first article I am covering is Dazed and confused: variability in reported and measured THC content in cannabis edibles by Beneke and others. This study evaluated the accuracy of package-labeled THC content in cannabis edibles by comparing it to laboratory-measured delta 8 THC and delta 9 THC amounts. Significant variability was found between reported and measured THC content in cannabis edibles. The study analyzed the THC content of cannabis edibles using laboratory testing. The findings raise concerns about the accuracy of product labeling, which has implications for consumer safety and regulation of the cannabis edibles market. The study did not provide information on sample size or the specific methods used for laboratory analysis.

Next up: The effects of recreational cannabis legalization in Alberta on poison control centre calls and paediatric emergency department visits by Johnson and others. This study examined the impact of recreational cannabis legalization in Alberta, Canada on poison control center calls and pediatric emergency department visits. The study found an increase in cannabis-related presentations to pediatric emergency departments and calls to the provincial poison control center following legalization. The study used a retrospective observational design, analyzing data from the two major pediatric emergency departments and the provincial poison control center in Alberta before and after legalization. The findings suggest that legalization of recreational cannabis may lead to increased pediatric exposures, highlighting the need for public education and prevention strategies. The study was limited by its observational design and inability to determine causality.

The next article today is Effects of naturalistic doses of cannabis edibles on cognition and association with blood THC by Di Ciano and colleagues. This study examined the effects of naturalistic doses of cannabis edibles on cognitive function and the association with blood THC levels. Naturalistic doses of cannabis edibles impaired cognitive function, and blood THC levels were associated with the degree of impairment. Participants consumed cannabis edibles in a naturalistic setting, and their cognitive performance and blood THC levels were assessed. The findings suggest that the use of cannabis edibles can have significant effects on cognitive function, which should be considered in clinical and practical settings. The study was limited by the naturalistic design, which may have introduced variability in the doses consumed, and the lack of a placebo control group.
