2012
Biological Psychiatry
Less is known about the dopaminergic system in cannabis dependence. ...
Introduction-Low striatal dopamine 2/3 receptor (D2/3) availability and low ventrostriatal (VST) dopamine (DA) release have been observed in alcoholism, cocaine and heroin dependence. ...
Stimulant dependent participants with lower dopamine D2/3 receptor availability and lower dopamine transmission are more likely to relapse into drug use than those with higher dopamine activity [43, 44 ...

Deficits in striatal dopamine release in cannabis dependence
2016
Molecular Psychiatry
To test whether cannabis dependence is associated with a similar dopaminergic deficit, we examined striatal and extrastriatal dopamine release in severely cannabis dependent participants (CD), free of ...
In conclusion, this study provides evidence that severe cannabis dependence -without the confounds of any comorbidity-is associated with a deficit in striatal dopamine release. ...
Dependence on dopamine-enhancing substances of abuse is associated with blunted striatal dopamine transmission 13, 14 . ...

Δ 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol Toxicity and Validation of Cannabidiol on Brain Dopamine Levels: An Assessment on Cannabis Duplicity
2020
Natural Products and Bioprospecting
Legal authorization of cannabis use and its analogs in most countries led to a drastic dispute in the elicitation of cannabis products. ...
With a recent increase in cannabis-induced disorder rates, the present review highlighted the detrimental effects of THC and the effects of CBD on THC induced alterations in DA synthesis and release. ...
Cannabis and Dopamine Vulnerability to DA-enhancing substances of abuse is analogous to impaired striatal DA transmission [22, 23] . ...

In fact, it is thought that cannabis or Δ9-THC may not act on dopamine firing directly but indirectly by altering glutamate neurotransmission. ...
Previous reviews have mainly focused on the effects of cannabis use on dopamine transmission, in both animals (Kuepper et al., 2010) and humans (Ghazzaoui and Abi-Dargham, 2014; Sami et al., 2015; van ...
