Hello, good work on the chapter so far. I have found an interesting study that was done that looks at the affect on cannabis on the brain in adolescents with some solid evidence which could help strengthen some of your points. Hope this helps! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3930618/ U3216389 (discuss • contribs) 01:42, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Is it worth exploring more brain chemicals than just dopamine or possibly comparing brain chemical alteration between cannabis and other substances such as nicotine or alcohol. - U3216502

Hello, great work on the chapter so far! I thought it might be worth me suggesting you look further into how cannabis is used medically as you mention in the brief history section that cannabis is predominantly smoked medically. I have a relative who is prescribed cannabis for medical use and the delivery of this medication doesn't involve smoking. I am not aware of medical treatment involving smoking cannabis. That being said, I haven't done empirical research into this but I thought it could be worth my suggesting some further clarification in this section. You could use discussion surrounding self-medication vs clinical medication to explore this clarification because self-medicating with cannabis does usually involve smoking. Hope this helps :) --Sophia246 (discuss • contribs) 10:08, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Comment

• Hi there this looks like a really interesting topic, I found a systematic review of how cannabis use effects the dopamine system https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0924977X15000887?casa_token=hKg4Gld0X5EAAAAA:2LUVakHXQUIFOrDyaE-BhUTBrBH-ecxoWKK1hDdLTSwTNHNBaHeiXdpm9O74e5ZpCcBf5zaRl0PJ and this paper explores how cannabis use effects the developing brain https://www.jneurosci.org/content/jneuro/39/42/8250.full.pdf. --U3083720 (discuss • contribs) 21:03, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Title The title is correctly worded and formatted The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted User page Excellent – used effectively Description about self provided Consider linking to your professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks. Link provided to book chapter Social contribution Excellent – at least one contribution has been made and summarised in a numbered list with link(s) to evidence To add direct links to evidence of page changes, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions. Headings Basic, 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development to limit the emphasis on background information and expand the focus on the target topic The Overview and Conclusion should not have sub-headings Concentrate less on background info and more on the relationship between cannabis and dopmamine Key points Basic development of key points for each section, with relevant citations Overview - Consider adding: an evocative description of the problem and what will be covered focus questions an image an example or case study Avoid providing too much background information. Briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal wiki links to relevant book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content of this on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title. Significantly increase the cannabis and dopamine section Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research Excellent use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Consider including more examples/case studies Conclusion (the most important section): Hasn't been developed What might the take-home, practical messages be? In a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions? Figure Excellent – A relevant figure is presented and it is appropriately captioned Consider whether the molecular structure is the best image for the Overview - maybe choose something more user-friendly? Cite each figure at least once in the main text References Good For APA referencing style, check and correct: capitalisation include [1] Resources See also None provided Link to relevant book chapters Link to relevant Wikipedia pages External links None provided

Hi! here is a great resource for understanding dopamine and the reward system https://neuroscientificallychallenged.com/posts/know-your-brain-reward-system

Section 2 of this journal article provides a great overview of the anatomy of motivation and has the bonus of being a scientific source! https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pbb.2013.06.011 U3162201 (discuss • contribs) 01:19, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi, such an interesting read! I found an interesting study on 'Assessment of transient dopamine responses to smoked cannabis' which you may find helpful. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0376871621004154 Gabrielle Eagling

Hi, here is a peer-reviewed journal articles that goes straight to the effects of cannabis on the dopaminergic reward systems of the brain:

Heading casing

Hi U3246310. FYI, the recommended Wikiversity heading style uses sentence casing. For example: Self-determination theory rather than Self-Determination Theory Here's an example chapter with correct heading casing: Growth mindset development -- Jtneill - Talk - c 22:37, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Content suggestion

Hi there, I enjoyed reading your chapter it was quite engaging. Have you had a look into naturally occurring cannabinoids that humans produce in comparison to those in cannabis. It would be interesting to compare the effects each of these have on someone. U3216963 (discuss • contribs) 16:22, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Suggestion for attitudes towards Cannabis

Great Job! Lot's of good sources and info. I might suggest for the attitudes towards cannabis portion that the impact of media like Reefer Madness be discussed. Discussing how that movie and similar educational movies made at the time in America and their influence on the public perception on Cannabis could be really intresting and helpful if you wanted to look further into how it was viewed during the 1930s.

Book chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall The sub-title has been corrected to be consistent with the index of topics. Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient chapter The material up to the section called "Theory behind the motivation of cannabis use" is useful and relevant to the topic; but after that the material was irrelevant to the topic and wsa ignored for marking purposes (I searched for e.g., "dopamine" but it didn't appear again until the Conclusion). Well over the maximum word count. References are ignored for marking purposes. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Basic Overview Explains the problem or phenomenon Consider introducing a case study or example to help engage reader interest Basic focus question(s) Theory – Breadth Basic but sufficient coverage of relevant theory is provided Build more strongly on other cannabis-related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters in this category: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Drugs/Cannabis and Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Neurotransmitters/Dopamine) There is too much general theoretical material from about half-way through the chapter. Instead, summarise and link to further information (such as other book chapters or Wikipedia articles), to allow this chapter to focus on the specific topic (i.e., the sub-title question). Theory – Depth Basic depth is provided about the relevant selected theory(ies) More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts Research – Key findings Reasonably good review of relevant research Research – Critical thinking Very good critical thinking about relevant research is evident Most claims are referenced Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) Integration There is reasonably good integration between theory and research Conclusion Reasonably good summary Add practical, take-home message(s) Written expression – Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is basic Use active (e.g., "this chapter explored") rather than passive voice (e.g., "this chapter has explored") [3][4] Internationalise: Write for an international, rather than domestic, audience. Australians make up only 0.32% of the world human population. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences Layout Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections Grammar The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags). Grammar-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance. Check and make correct use of commas APA style Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10) Figures Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text (e.g., no mention of dopamine?) Figure captions use the correct format Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text using APA style Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation) A mixture of citation styles are used; either fully to commit to APA style or wiki style, but don't use both. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example: Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses References use mixed style References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of capitalisation[5] Include hyperlinked dois Written expression – Learning features Overall, the use of learning features is basic Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. Good use of image(s) No use of table(s) Basic use of feature box(es) Basic use of quiz(zes). No mention of dopamine. No use of case studies or examples Excellent use of interwiki links in the "See also" section. Be more selective. Good use of external links in the "External links" section. Be more selective (focus on cannabis and dopamine). Social contribution ~1 logged, useful, moderate social contributions with direct link to evidence

Multimedia presentation feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is a problematic presentation Overview An opening slide with the title is displayed. Also display and narrate the sub-title — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. This presentation has a basic introduction Consider creating a more engaging introduction to hook audience interest Briefly explain why this topic is important Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation. Content Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section Internationalise - address a global audience; Australia only represents .3% of the world population Unclear how TPB relates to the cannabis/dopamine relationship This presentation doesn't adequately address the topic The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological research The presentation includes citations The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies Conclusion A Conclusion slide is presented with basic take-home message(s) Unclear how the best available research about the cannabis/dopamine relationship leads to the hard-line recommendation to treat cannabis in similar ways to hard drugs The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages about the cannabis/dopamine relationship Audio The presentation makes basic use of narrated audio Audio communication is well paced Basic intonation Audio recording quality was OK. The audio was quiet. Review microphone set-up to achieve higher recording quality The narrated content isn't well matched to the target topic (see content) Video Overall, visual display quality is basic The presentation makes basic use of text-based slides The font size is sufficiently large The visual communication could be improved by including some relevant images and/or diagrams The presentation is basically produced using simple tools Meta-data The chapter title is used, but the sub-title (or a shortened version of it) is not used, as the name of the presentation. The sub-title (or an abbreviation of the sub-title that fits within the 100 character limit) would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding. Links to and from the book chapter are provided Licensing A copyright license for the presentation is not provided
