A new study published in Plant Science found that combining phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria with phosphorus-enriched biochar may help cannabis plants better withstand salt stress while improving growth and cannabinoid production. Researchers from Shahid Beheshti University and Islamic Azad University examined how salinity affected Cannabis sativa L., a condition known to reduce phosphorus availability and limit plant …

Research and studies on minor cannabinoids like CBG, CBN, THCV and others, covering their potential effects, medical uses and scientific findings.
Study: Minor Cannabinoids Show Distinct Effects on Pain-Sensing Neurons
New research published in The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics by researchers from the University of California finds that several lesser-known marijuana compounds—including cannabidiol (CBD), cannabigerol (CBG), cannabinol (CBN), and cannabichromene (CBC)—interact with pain-sensing neurons in notably different ways, offering insight into how they may contribute to pain relief. The study focused on dorsal …
Cannabinoid-Silver Combination Shows Potent Activity Against Drug-Resistant Bacteria, Study Finds
A new study published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology found that a three-part combination involving silver and two non-intoxicating marijuana compounds may significantly boost antibacterial activity against some of the most concerning healthcare-associated pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The research was conducted by scientists at the University of …
Study Finds Cannabinoid Compounds Trigger Ferroptosis in Aggressive Brain Cancer Cells
According to a study published by The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics. cannabinoid compounds may help kill glioblastoma cells by triggering ferroptosis, a form of iron-dependent cell death. The study was conducted by researchers from Ankara Medipol University. It focused on glioblastoma multiforme, the most commonly diagnosed brain tumor, which is known for its …
Study: CBN and THCV Effective in Reducing Alcohol Intake, Outperforming CBD
New research published this week in Alcohol and Alcoholism and conducted by researchers from Vilnius University in Lithuania finds that certain non-psychoactive marijuana compounds may significantly reduce alcohol consumption, with some showing greater effectiveness than cannabidiol (CBD). The study examined three phytocannabinoids—cannabinol (CBN), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), and CBD—in rats with long-term voluntary alcohol use. Researchers found …
CBG Found to Trigger Multiple Cancer Cell Death Pathways in Pancreatic Tumor Cells
New research published in Free Radical Biology and Medicine found that cannabigerol (CBG) may have strong anti-cancer effects against pancreatic cancer cells, with researchers saying the compound slowed cell growth and triggered multiple forms of programmed cell death.
Study Finds Cannabinoids May Help Protect Cognitive Function in Parkinson’s Disease
A study published today in Neuroscience by researchers from the Russian Academy of Sciences finds that cannabinoid-based treatments may have potential to help preserve cognitive function in people with Parkinson’s disease.
Study: CBG-Dominant Cannabis Extract Reduces Fat Cell Formation and Boosts Fat Burning
A study published this month in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences reports that a cannabigerol (CBG)-dominant cannabis extract may help reduce processes linked to obesity by limiting fat cell development while increasing fat breakdown.
Study: Cannabigerorcinic Acid (CBGOA) Shows Neuroprotective Effects in Human Cell Model of Stroke
New research published in the Journal of Cannabis Research and conducted by scientists at the University of Rhode Island has identified a little-known cannabinoid, cannabigerorcinic acid (CBGOA), as a potential neuroprotective compound in the context of stroke.
Study: Root Bacteria Boosted CBGA 27% and Cut THC 16% in Hydroponic Cannabis Plants
A new study published by Plant Physiology from researchers at Leiden University in the Netherlands found that plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, or PGPR, can colonize marijuana roots and meaningfully shift how the plant produces and preserves cannabinoids, including increasing the key precursor CBGA while reducing THC.
