I am delighted to share our last preprint with you:
biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
This study examines the impact of adolescent vaporised Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) exposure on ethanol self-administration in rats and the interactions with naltrexone efficacy.
Adolescent cannabinoid vapour exposure sex-dependently alters the relationship between vulnerability traits and ethanol self-administration and modifies naltrexone actions on ethanol intake in rats
Background: Cannabis use during adolescence is common and may predispose individuals to substance use disorders. Animal studies have explored the gateway hypothesis, but data on ethanol consumption ar...

In case you were worried about PubMed disappearing
@europepmc.org does have all* of PubMed indexed (and indeed partners with PMC for full text) - in addition to other sources (incl. for preprints).

OpenAlex (openalex.org) and Lens (lens.org) similarly include all* PubMed records, as does @openaire.bsky.social (but less easy to filter in webUI)
