Study of Effect of Cannabis on Anesthetics Creates Buzz

A small study has concluded that regular cannabis users may require as much as twice the level of sedation before a medical procedure, compared with those who abstain. The report, in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association ([Epub Apr 15, 2019]. doi:10.7556/jaoa.2019.052), defined regular users as those who smoked or ingested edibles on a weekly or more frequent basis. Those who were either occasional users or abstainers were considered nonusers.
