    Abstract Background: Even in the early stages, global crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic lead to serious dislocations of social life, secondary adjustment reactions to external restrictions and individual concerns. Coping mechanisms may also include dysfunctional strategies like an increase of drug use. Considering the wide-spread use of cannabis, the aim of this study was to elucidate the interplay of social restrictions, psychopathology, concerns related to the pandemic in addition to the users' experiences, motivations and consumption quantities during the early COVID-19 pandemic. It was presumed that cannabis intake would increase during the early phase of the crisis and that consumption quantities would be related to corona-related restrictions, concerns as well as subjective substance effects and psychopathology.
    Materials and methods: As part of an international, cross-sectional, internet-based survey (
    Results: Cannabis use behavior showed no significant differences when consumption quantities prior and during 1 month after the COVID-19 outbreak were compared. Higher quantities of cannabis intake prior and during 1 month of the pandemic as well as more corona-related concern were associated with an increased perception of positive effects of cannabis during the pandemic. Predictors of its use during 1 month of pandemic were higher pre-pandemic consumption quantity, older age, quarantinization, a lesser degree of being affected by negative effects of the pandemic and a stronger subjective experience of corona-related positive effects of cannabis. Comparisons of the motives for cannabis intake in the pre-pandemic versus the pandemic period showed that all rationales for consumption were reported less frequently, except boredom.
    Conclusion: Frequencies of cannabis intake remained relatively stable in the early pandemic phase. Risk factors for increased use seem related to habitual consumption patterns that become more prominent under quarantinization. The use of cannabis as a dysfunctional coping strategy might not be amenable

    Abstract The effects of ultrasonic waves on aqueous solutions of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) are reported. Static and dynamic light scattering measurements are performed on dilute irradiated solutions for various exposure times in order to characterize the polymer species that are present in the solutions at the end of the process. A progressive aggregation of the polymer chains is observed for the sample having the lower weight-average molecular weight (Mw = 6 kDa). These aggregates are stable but they are break by addition of sodium chloride (NaCl) in the aqueous solutions and the initial chains are recovered. The high molecular weight sample (Mw = 2 × 103 kDa) shows a different behavior under irradiation. The molecular weight of the processed polymer is lower than the initial molecular weight. However by addition of NaCl the molecular weight of the species decreases. This indicates that, in a first time, the large polymer chains are cut in smaller chains but furthermore they aggregate in stable clusters that are break by NaCl addition. The cluster formation is imputed to the instantaneous local increase of concentration of the hydrophobic −CH2–CH2– groups that belong to different PEO chains in the field of the ultrasonic waves.
