Annotated Bibliography

Zehra, A., Burns, J., Liu, C. K., Manza, P., Wiers, C. E., Volkow, N. D., & Wang, G. J. (2018). Cannabis addiction and the brain: a review. Journal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology, 13(4), 438-452. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6223748/

The article “Cannabis Addiction and the Brain: a Review” was written by Zehra et al. (2018). In this article, Zehra et al. evaluate the use of cannabis through the neurobiological model of addiction that was proposed by Koob and Volkow. The neurobiological model that the authors used in their study proposes that repeated substance abuse promotes neurobiological changes in the brain which can be divided into three different stages. Each stage perpetuates the addiction cycle. After Zehra et al. reviewed other research studies; they found that the three stage framework of addiction applies to cannabis use disorder similarly to other commonly abused drugs. Their findings show that there is need to conduct a research study that expounds on specific neurobiological changes that are associated with cannabis use disorder.

I will use Zehra et al’s. article in the introduction of my presentation to give some background information about marijuana/ cannabis. I will also use the information from the introduction part of the article to discuss the nature of marijuana addiction through the neurobiological model of addiction advanced by Koob and Volkow.

Volkow, N. D., Baler, R. D., Compton, W. M., & Weiss, S. R. (2014). Adverse health effects of marijuana use. New England Journal of Medicine, 370(23), 2219-2227. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4827335/

This article reviews the adverse effects that may occur through the use of marijuana. Marijuana is among the commonly used drugs by the young people. According to Volkow et al. the use of marijuana by the adolescence regularly is a major concern since use by this age group is associated with high chances of deleterious consequences. Volkow et al realized that just like any other drugs, marijuana can cause addiction and thus during its use it may disrupt the motor and cognitive function. Consistent use of marijuana may also lead to long lasting changes in the brain.

I will use information from this article in my presentation to discuss the adverse effects of marijuana addiction. I will discuss both the short-term and long-term effects that have been discussed in this article specifically on an addict’s motor coordination, judgment, and health.

According to Budney et al. (2007), the increased use and addiction to marijuana is prevalent among adults and adolescents living in the United States of America. The authors of this article conducted this study to review the problems associated with marijuana use and addiction, including its unique characteristics of addiction, and recent results of laboratory research and treatment trials. The article also discusses the limitations of current knowledge and potential areas for improvement in research and developing clinical interventions. The findings of this study show that behavioral based interventions are effective treatment for marijuana addiction since they have helped many people with marijuana use disorder to recover from their addiction.

In my presentation, I will use this article to discuss the various forms of behavioral based interventions that are effective for treating marijuana addiction. I will use the information from this article specifically from the “treatment efficacy research” section to discuss various behavioral treatments for marijuana addiction like cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational enhancement therapy, and contingency management. I will also apply the articles information to discuss other family-based treatments that have been promising in treating marijuana addiction.
