What marijuana reclassification means and the effects of rescheduling
Reclassifying marijuana from a Schedule I substance to Schedule III would mark a historic shift in federal policy, but the implications are still murky.

Legalizing cannabis is great. How do we deal with the side effect of making the War on (other, still criminalized) Drugs look more defensible?
The problem with the #WarOnDrugs wasn't just that relatively harmless cannabis was included, but also the hard stuff must be addressed as a public health rather than criminal issue. That debate is being tragically lost right now in San Francisco…

Identification of Craving Maps among Marijuana Users via the Analysis of Functional Brain Networks with High-Order Attention Graph Neural Networks
The consumption of high doses of marijuana can have significant psychological and social impacts. In this study, we propose an interpretable framework called the HOGANN (High-Order Graph Attention Neural Networks) for Marijuana addiction classification and followed by the analysis of the localized brain network communities that demonstrated abnormal brain activities among chronic marijuana users. The HOGANN integrates dynamic intrinsic functional brain networks estimated from the resting-state …

Researchers show chemical found naturally in cannabis may reduce anxiety-inducing effects of THC
A Johns Hopkins Medicine-led research team has added to evidence that a chemical found naturally in cannabis (also known as marijuana) can—in the right amounts—lessen the anxiety-inducing effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive sister chemical found in cannabis. The finding has the potential to advance the medicinal use of THC and reduce the risks of its recreational use in some people.

Mahomes, Chiefs deny ex-Cowboys defensive lineman a ring
Randy Gregory was just a little over seven minutes away from completing a strange odyssey. The Cowboys' second round pick of the 2015 Draft – 60th overall – was a promising young defensive lineman out of Nebraska. That promise went up in smoke – literally. Dallas drafted him despite his positive test for marijuana at the combine. He played in 12 of the Cowboys' 16 games in his rookie season. Gregory was suspended for violating the league's substance abuse policy for the first 15 weeks of …

Chiefs’ Travis Kelce Takes Shot At Cowboys For Not Drafting Him
The Kansas City Chiefs took tight end Travis Kelce with the 63rd overall pick of the 2013 NFL Draft, but before the Chiefs selected him, Kelce drew serious interest from the Dallas Cowboys. There was just one major sticking point for the Cowboys: Kelce’s past. Kelce, who played his collegiate football at the University of Cincinnati, was suspended for the Bearcats’ 2010 campaign due to marijuana usage, which was against team policy. The future Hall-of-Fame pass-catcher spoke about Dallas’…

Analyzing Resting-State fMRI Data in Marijuana Users via High-Order Attention Brain Network
The sustained use of marijuana significantly impacts the lives and health of people. In this study, we propose an interpretable novel framework called the HOGAB (High-Order Attention Graph Attention Neural Networks) model to analyze local abnormal brain activity in chronic marijuana users in two datasets. The HOGAB integrates dynamic intrinsic functional networks with LSTM technology to capture temporal patterns in fMRI time series of marijuana users. Moreover, we use the high-order attention m…
