Cannabis and Sexuality

Purpose of the Review - The purpose of this study is to review the impact of cannabis use on sexual functioning.

Recent Findings - The effects of cannabis on human sexuality have been known for centuries and explored for decades. The aphrodisiac effect of acute cannabis use has been frequently promoted, while the negative effect of its chronic use, especially in higher doses, has been less recognized and appreciated.

The mechanism of cannabis effect on sexual functioning is not well understood, though results of some studies suggest a possible and controversial endocrinological explanation such as lowering of testosterone levels.

Summary - Cannabis has bidirectional effect on sexual functioning. Low and acute doses of cannabis may enhance sexual human sexual functioning, e.g., sexual desire and enjoyment/satisfaction in some subjects. On the other hand, chronic use of higher doses of cannabis may lead to negative effect on sexual functioning such as lack of interest, erectile dysfunction, and inhibited orgasm.

Studies of cannabis effect on human sexuality in cannabis users and healthy volunteers which would implement a double-blind design and use valid and reliable instruments are urgently needed in view of expanded use of cannabis/marijuana due to its legalization and medicalization.

TIVERTON, Ontario — Behind a forbidding high-security fence topped with razor wire, Supreme Pharmaceuticals is busy preparing for the legal marijuana trade, with workers expanding a greenhouse complex where the lucrative crop grows.

But while Supreme looks like it will be ready for the day when prohibition ends, Canada’s governments still have a lot of work to do.

Proposing legislation to legalize the recreational use of marijuana was the easy part for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. With about eight months to go before Canada becomes the second nation after Uruguay to take this step, the federal government and the provinces are staring at a formidable to-do list.

...

Two of the most important questions for consumers — how much the legal product will cost and how much it will it be taxed — are still being debated by the two levels of government.

In most of the country, it is still unclear whether marijuana will be sold only in government-run stores. And most provinces have yet to decide the amount of marijuana that individuals will be able to possess or grow.

Nor have most provincial governments decided on the minimum age for buyers, or where smoking marijuana will be legal. The federal government must also explain how it will deal with international drug treaties that prohibit marijuana sales.

Even the precise starting date for legal pot is a mystery.

On top of that, and perhaps counterintuitively, police forces are warning that successful inauguration of a legal system for selling marijuana will require an accompanying crackdown on the black market.

Despite all these challenges, suppliers are optimistic that legal recreational sales will be a reality by summer.

Most of what your saying here has already been figured out by the government in the federal and provincial levels. They have most of the guidelines for the provinces to follow already on paper. It will be fully in place and legal to purchase recreational on July 1 2018. I have read everything our government has out and have watched all the live press releases. They even know how they can't over tax it cause then it would stay in the black market and defeat the purpose of legalization.
Most provinces have their plans already in place for July 1. Once it's legal it's up to the provinces to follow the basic plans that the federal government has in place and to take their own direction. Alberta and Ontario have completely different plans that they already have in the works. They even have guidelines on how much a person can legally grow.

This can and will be a great discussion that I would happily take part in and answer any questions within my knowledge that anyone has.

Bonn-Miller MO, Loflin MJE, Thomas BF, Marcu JP, Hyke T, Vandrey R. Labeling Accuracy of Cannabidiol Extracts Sold Online. JAMA. 2017;318(17):1708–1709. Labeling Accuracy of Cannabidiol Extracts Sold Online

A new study finds the bulk of cannabidiol products sold online aren’t labeled with the right concentration. There’s been interest in the potential medicinal benefits of cannabidiol, a compound found in marijuana plants, but it’s currently classified as a Schedule 1, controlled substance. That means people looking to purchase cannabidiol do so online, where the market is wildly unregulated. Researchers bought and tested 84 cannabidiol products sold online and found that 42 percent actually contained a higher cannabidiol concentration than their labels indicated, while 26 percent contained lower levels. And while it’s not clear what consuming too much of the compound might do, the study suggests patients looking to use cannabidiol for medicinal purposes aren’t getting the doses they think they are.
