“…Even some not-soridiculous thoughts and ideas can produce a giggle response, because marijuana magnifies the response to positive information. However, in some cases, such as a person taking marijuana quietly, it has a calming effect and can sometimes relieve pain (6). Therefore, the effect of marijuana is closely related to the environment, mainly because it affects the perception function of the brain.…”

With the legalization of recreational marijuana, the concerns about its potential negative impact on abusers' cognitive and mental health have not been being discussed thoroughly. Driven by commercial interests, many marijuana-related scientific research results have not been well considered in the policy making process. When people subconsciously indulge in something that is already notorious, they avoid it and overemphasize what seems good, while using illogical analogies to obliterate the disadvantages. We herein will objectively review the potential short-and long-term effects of marijuana, so as to sound the alarm for the legal use of marijuana.■

“…The most commonly used cannabinoids are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD). THC consists of psychoactive properties and is the most abundant cannabinoid found within the cannabis plant, whereas CBD is minimally psychoactive and the second most abundant [1].Both THC and CBD have specific actions within the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) at the Cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid type 2 (CB2) receptors, which were discovered 30 years ago [2,4,5]. The ECS is a complex system of receptors, ligands, and enzymes, which aid in the regulation of fundamental processes at the level of the central andperipheral nervous systems [6].…”

Background: Cannabis has been an area of interest within the healthcare field due the plant's medicinal properties. Although there is controversy within the United States regarding potential psychoactive effects of cannabinoids, there is no denying the fast-acting analgesic properties. A common method used for pain management is phonophoresis, a physical agent modality utilized by occupational therapy practitioners and other healthcare professionals within a rehabilitation setting. Cannabinoids may be broken down into a form that can be used by phonophoresis, to potentially facilitate pain management, thus positively impacting therapeutic effects.Objective: A scoping review that investigates the effectiveness of phonophoresis and cannabinoids in pain management. Additionally, the introduction of a potential therapeutic technique that combines both phonophoresis and cannabinoid pharmacological agents from a biomechanical frame of reference to address pain and improve the standard of care treatment is paramount. Conclusion:Cannabis has been used for medicinal purposes for over 5,000 years and phonophoresis has been utilized to deliver pharmacological agents. Therefore, transdermal delivery of pharmacological cannabinoids through phonophoresis may be possible through nano-emulsifications of delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD). The therapeutic use of cannabinoids is a relatively new area and further research is recommended. Additionally, research on phonophoresis has demonstrated inconclusive results associated with pain management.
