Background The study aimed to assess the prevalence and correlates of non-daily and daily cannabis use among persons 15 years and older in South Africa. Method In a national cross-sectional 2017 survey, 39,207 persons 15 years and older (Median = 34 years) responded to a questionnaire on cannabis use and health variables. Multinominal logistic regression was used to assess the determinants of nondaily and daily cannabis use among the general population and logistic regression for the determinants of daily cannabis use among active cannabis users. Results Results indicate that 5.0% of the participants engaged in non-daily and 2.8% in daily cannabis use in the past 3 months. In adjusted multinomial logistic regression analysis, male sex, Grade 8–11 education, Coloureds, alcohol use disorder, never married, and other drug use were positively associated with daily cannabis use while not in not labour force was negatively associated with daily cannabis use. Moreover, male sex, never married, alcohol use disorder, and other drug use were positively, while physical multimorbidity was negatively associated with nondaily cannabis use. In adjusted logistic regression, compared to nondaily cannabis users, daily cannabis users were more likely male and were less likely not in the labour force and were less likely using other drugs. Conclusion About one in ten participants had used cannabis in the past 3 months in South Africa. Several sociodemographic and health indicators were identified that were associated with non-daily and/or daily cannabis use.

Multinominal logistic regression was used to assess the determinants of nondaily and daily cannabis use and logistic regression for the determinants of daily cannabis use among active cannabis users.ResultsResults indicate that 5.0% of the participants engaged in non-daily and 2.8% in daily cannabis use in the past 3 months. In adjusted multinomial logistic regression analysis, male sex, having Grade 8–11 education, Coloureds, alcohol use disorder, living with husband or wife, not living with a partner, and other drug use were positively and students were negatively associated with daily cannabis use. Male sex, younger age, living alone or single, living with a partner, alcohol use disorder, and other drug use were positively and multimorbidity was negatively associated with nondaily cannabis use. Compared to nondaily cannabis users, male sex had higher odds and students and other drug use had lower odds of daily cannabis use.ConclusionAbout one in ten participants engaged past 3-month cannabis use, and several sociodemographic and health indicators were identified associated with non-daily and daily cannabis use.

“…Moreover, although plant LTR‐RTs tend to be more abundant in the regions of the genome that are considered to be gene‐poor (Julien et al, 2016), genome expansion and evolution may lead to gene family expansion and enrichment to favour the biosynthesis of certain metabolites, such as morphinan in opium poppy (Guo et al, 2018), rubber in rubber tree (Lau et al, 2016), piperine in black pepper (Hu et al, 2019), and caffeine in coffee (Denoeud et al, 2014). Areca nut, as a source of alkaloids, flavonoids, and other secondary metabolites (Manimekalai et al, 2018), has been used as an aphrodisiac, appetite suppressant, digestive aid, and diuretic, as well as a treatment for asthma, cough, dermatitis, fainting, glaucoma, impotence, intestinal worms, leprosy, toothache, leucorrhoea, and vaginal laxity (Bhalla et al, 2015). However, areca nut also represents the fourth most common addiction globally, following tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine (Manimekalai et al, 2018).…”

Areca palm (Areca catechu, 2n = 32), also known as betel nut or areca nut, belongs to the genus Areca of the family Arecaceae. It is widely cultivated in the tropical zone and has extensive applications in agriculture and industry (Henderson, 2009). The medicinal properties of areca palm with regard to its use against leukoderma, leprosy, cough, fits, worms, anaemia, and obesity have long been recognized (Rao,
