Study: CBD and THC May Help Inhibit Glioblastoma Progression
A new study published in Journal of Applied Genetics found that cannabinoids, including cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), may help inhibit the progression of glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer with limited treatment options. Researchers from Poznan University of Medical Sciences and the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences examined …
Study: Cannabis Compounds CBN and THCV May Help Manage Inflammatory Pain
A study published by Scientific Reports and conducted by researchers from Vilnius University and the Polish Academy of Sciences found that cannabinol (CBN) and tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) may help manage inflammatory pain, with both compounds reducing mechanical pain sensitivity in an animal model. The study was conducted by researchers from Vilnius University and the Polish Academy …
THC and Whole-Cannabis Extracts May Reduce Body Weight and Fat Mass, Study Finds
A new study published in The Journal of Physiology found that daily exposure to THC and whole-cannabis extracts can reduce body weight and fat mass, with extracts also improving glucose control. Researchers from the University of California examined the effects of THC and cannabis oil extracts in an animal model of diet-induced obesity, which is …
Study: Cannabinoid Capsules Linked to Pain Relief in Fibromyalgia and Arthritis Patients
A new study published in Clinical Therapeutics found that multiple cannabinoid combinations were associated with improvements in pain and related symptoms among patients with fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis of the knee and/or hip. The study, conducted by researchers from the University of Michigan Medical School and the University at Buffalo, examined whether different combinations …
Study: Biochar-Bacteria Combo Boosts Cannabis Growth and Cannabinoids Under Salt Stress
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 …
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 …
