Population pharmacokinetic modelling revealed large variability in oromucosal absorption of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol in older patients with poor appetite. [PDF]
Aim Cannabis‐based medicines are gaining interest and being explored for new therapeutic indications, many of which commonly affect older medical patients. As most previous studies of the population pharmacokinetics of cannabinoids have been performed in healthy adults, this study aimed to investigate the population pharmacokinetics of Δ9 ...

Involvement of Adenosine A2A Receptors in Anxiety-Like Behaviors in Tetrahydrocannabinol-Treated Mice. [PDF]
This study evaluated anxiety‐like behavior in mice across treatment and control groups using open field and elevated plus maze tests, followed by hippocampal receptor gene expression analysis. The combined behavioral and molecular data identify potential receptor‐level mechanisms underlying the observed treatment‐associated behavioral changes. ABSTRACT
