SUMMARY:Noggin @ Brown: Cannabis\, Pain\, Bias & Brain
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: “Cannabis\, Pain\, Bias & Brain” at Brown University dinner \nWHERE: Andina Restaurant\, 1314 NW Glisan St\, Portland\, OR 97209 \nWHEN: Tuesday\, April 16\, 6:00 – 8:30pm \n \nArtist Frida Kahlo survived a bus accident in 1925\, which broke her spinal column\, collarbone\, ribs\, pelvis and right leg\, crushed and dislocated her right foot\, dislocated her shoulder – and left her with terrible\, psychologically debilitating bouts of chronic pain. \nA provocative and entertaining evening at Andina restaurant featuring Bill Griesar ’87\, Ph.D\, Senior Instructor in Psychology at Portland State University and Co-Founder and Neuroscience Coordinator of NW Noggin and Jeff Leake\, M.F.A.\, artist\, PSU instructor and Co-Founder and Art Coordinator of NW Noggin. We’ll be joined by Andy Shaindlin ’86\, Vice President for Alumni Relations at Brown University. \n \nWe will explore neuroscience\, cannabis\, addiction\, pain relief\, bias in enforcement\, and public policy.  \n \nSLIDES (ppt): Cannabis\, Pain\, Bias & Brain\nSLIDES (pdf): Cannabis\, Pain\, Bias & Brain \n \nMarijuana remains a Schedule I “illicit” drug at the federal level\, and the University of Mississippi samples used for research do not reflect what Americans actually consume. \n \n\nCannabis and Cannabinoids for Chronic Pain\n\n“We found that inhaled (smoked or vaporized) cannabis is consistently effective in reducing chronic non-cancer pain. Oral cannabinoids seem to improve some aspects of chronic pain (sleep and general quality of life)\, or cancer chronic pain\, but they do not seem effective in acute postoperative pain\, abdominal chronic pain\, or rheumatoid pain. The available literature shows that inhaled cannabis seems to be more tolerable and predictable than oral cannabinoids…”\n\n\nCannabis for Chronic Pain: Challenges and Considerations\n“The National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine has found substantial evidence that cannabis (plant) is effective for the treatment of chronic pain in adults\, and moderate evidence that oromucosal cannabinoids (extracts\, especially nabiximols) improve short-term sleep disturbances in chronic pain. The paradoxical superiority of the cannabis plant over cannabinoid molecules represents a challenge for the medical community and the established processes that define modern pharmacy…”\nCannabinoids and Pain: New Insights From Old Molecules\n“Recent meta-analyses of clinical trials that have examined the use of medical cannabis in chronic pain present a moderate amount of evidence that cannabis/cannabinoids exhibit analgesic activity\, especially in neuropathic pain…” \n \n\nLEARN MORE: Marijuana legalization means fewer opioid deaths \nLEARN MORE: Listening to testimony at p:ear
