Cannabinoid oil or CBD is everywhere! We see it as a means to treat anxiety, pain, and other ailments. There are also many products that contain CBD, including skin cream and shampoo! CBD can be purchased as an oil, vape, gummi, and etc.
While this has become the “new trend” of health benefits, is it safe? How does it treat diseases associated with the central or peripheral nervous system? Give an example with supporting resources and also your opinion on the safety aspect. Then, respond to two peers regarding your opinion on CBD use described.

- A consumer survey has highlighted a major increase in the use of Pregabalin, an authorised antiepileptic drug. The working hypothesis is that this drug is being used in other pathologies, such as to treat neuropathic pain. What sort of indicators could we use to obtain information that might enable us to test this hypothesis? Select one: O a. The conducting of a controlled clinical trial enabling us to assess the efficacy of Pregabalin in neuropathic pain. O b. The construction of drug-indication indicators (studying consumption in terms of the indication for which it is prescribed). O c. The construction of indicators that relate the drug to the indication and the treatment outcome. O d. A comparison between the consumption of Pregabalin in defined daily doses per 1000 inhabitants per day and the diagnosed prevalence of epilepsy.arrow_forwardSome over-the-counter medicines should not be given to very young children.

- Lidocaine is an anesthetic that is commonly used in medical and dental practices. After being injected or applied to the skin, lidocaine very quickly causes numbness in that area by affecting nerve transmission. Which option below is a possible mechanism by which lidocaine might work? Mimics the neurotransmitter released by sensory neurons Causes an influx of calcium into the axon bulb of sensory neurons Prevents the opening of sodium channels in the sensory neuronsarrow_forwardPart 2: Please read the following scenarios. For each scenario, identify the confound and suggest how it might be removed in a follow-up experiment. McCann and Holmes (1984) tested the hypothesis that exercise reduces depression. They randomly assigned depressed undergraduate women either to an exercise condition (attending an aerobics class a couple of times a week for ten weeks) or to a relaxation training condition (the individuals relaxed at home by watching a videotape over the same period of time). Although the results showed that the exercise group reported less depression at the end of the ten-week period than did the relaxation group, why can't the researchers conclude that exercise reduces depression?arrow_forwardOpiates capitalize on the endogenous opioid system that evolved to protect us (i.e., endorphines produce analgesia and mild euphoria).

The researchers now wish to test the compound in human subjects. Which of the following would be the experimental prediction for their experiment? O People diagnosed with a General Anxiety Disorder will be given either the drug serenity or a sugar pill placebo for 6 months and then will complete a test that is used to quantify anxiety level. O People given the drug Serenity will have lower scores on the Johnson-Smith Anxiety Index test then people that are given a sugar pill placebo. O A.Serenity will reduce anxiety in people diagnosed with a General Anxiety Disorder due to its ability to limit serotonin reuptake by neurons.arrow_forwardMedical researchers discover a new compound, known as Serenity, which has been shown to be effective at reducing anxiety in laboratory mice.
