Colleen Stiles-Shields et al.

Summary: This review examines the association between anxiety and cannabis use in adolescents and young adults.

State Cannabis Legalization and Cannabis Use Disorder in the US Veterans Health Administration, 2005 to 2019

Deborah S. Hasin et al.

Summary: The enactment of medical cannabis laws (MCLs) and recreational cannabis laws (RCLs) played a significant role in the overall increases in cannabis use disorder (CUD) prevalence among Veterans Health Administation (VHA) patients, particularly in older patients. However, the effect sizes were relatively small, suggesting that other factors may have played a larger role in the overall increases in adult CUD.

Cannabis use and posttraumatic stress disorder: prospective evidence from a longitudinal study of veterans

Jane Metrik et al.

Summary: This study examined the longitudinal relationship between PTSD diagnosis and traumatic intrusion symptoms with cannabis use and CUD. The findings suggest that cannabis use is linked with greater severity of trauma-related intrusion symptoms over time, and there is a strong person-level directional association between PTSD and CUD. These findings have significant clinical implications for the long-term effects of cannabis use among individuals with PTSD.

The Impact of COVID-19 on Self-Reported Substance Use, Well-Being, and Functioning Among United States Veterans: A Cross-Sectional Study

Erin D. Reilly et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on veterans with substance use issues, leading to increased anxiety and substance abuse. A survey of US veterans found that although only a small number of them received a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis, the stressors of the pandemic were still evident and contributed to impaired physical and mental health functioning.

Cannabis use among US military veterans with subthreshold or threshold posttraumatic stress disorder: Psychiatric comorbidities, functioning, and strategies for coping with posttraumatic stress symptoms

Melanie L. Hill et al.

Summary: This study analyzed data from US military veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and found that frequent cannabis use was associated with higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation, as well as lower cognitive functioning. Veterans who used cannabis more frequently were also more likely to engage in avoidance coping strategies for managing their PTSD symptoms. Interestingly, despite experiencing more psychiatric and functional problems, frequent cannabis users were not more likely to seek mental health treatment.

Prevalence of Medical and Nonmedical Cannabis Use Among Veterans in Primary Care

Kendall Browne et al.

Summary: This study found that about one in five Veterans Health Administration (VHA) primary care patients in a state with legalized medical cannabis admitted to past-year cannabis use. Sociodemographic and clinical correlates of past-year cannabis use included factors such as age, period of service, marital status, education, income, substance use, alcohol or drug use disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder, pain rating, and self-reported well-being. Recreational users may be at increased risk for adverse clinical outcomes compared to medical-only users.

Deborah Hasin et al.

Summary: This narrative review provides a comprehensive overview of the comorbidity between cannabis use and CUD with other substance use and psychiatric disorders. Evidence shows a potential causal relationship between cannabis use and psychotic disorders, while the relationship with mood and anxiety disorders is inconsistent. Limited understanding exists regarding the impact of CUD on individuals with personality disorders.

Comparative associations of problematic alcohol and cannabis use with suicidal behavior in US military veterans: A population-based study

Melanie L. Hill et al.

Summary: The study shows that current and lifetime alcohol use disorder (AUD), cannabis use disorder (CUD), and their comorbidity are significantly associated with past-year and lifetime suicide ideation, plan(s), and attempt(s) in U.S. military veterans. Veterans with comorbid AUD/CUD or CUD only have higher odds of experiencing suicide ideation and planning compared to those with AUD only. This highlights the importance of screening for cannabis use disorder in suicide prevention efforts, especially with the increasing availability of cannabis.

Mental health symptoms among American veterans during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Eric R. Pedersen et al.

Summary: This study examined the symptom trajectories of PTSD, depression, and anxiety among 1,230 American veterans from one month prior to the COVID-19 outbreak until a year later. The findings showed that veterans experienced slightly increased mental health symptoms over time, with those struggling with alcohol and cannabis use disorders pre-pandemic showing greater symptoms. Women and racial/ethnic minority veterans had higher symptoms pre-pandemic but saw less steep increases over time compared to men and white veterans.

Summary: The survey found a high prevalence of substance use and related disorders among US Veterans, particularly in alcohol and cannabis. Substance use disorders were more common among young Veterans and those who were unemployed or not employed for wages, with even older adults showing a certain level of cannabis use. Prevalence data is crucial for decision-making regarding population health monitoring, treatment capacity, and quality measurement strategies.

Cannabis use disorder, anger, and violence in Iraq/ Afghanistan-era veterans

Summary: The study found an association between cannabis use disorder and anger, aggressive urges, and difficulty controlling violence in a large sample of Iraq/Afghanistan-era veterans, even after accounting for demographic variables and comorbid symptoms. These results suggest that the association between CUD and aggression should be considered in treatment planning and highlight the critical need to understand the mechanism behind this association.
