A new systematic review published in the journal Pharmacological Research finds that standard urine-testing cutoffs for marijuana can be exceeded after surprisingly small amounts of THC, especially when THC is taken orally, and that frequent users can stay above common workplace thresholds for weeks after stopping.

Study: CBD Protects Human Skin From Air Pollution Damage
A study published in the journal Biomolecules finds that cannabidiol (CBD) can help shield human skin from damage caused by air pollution.
Study: CBD Targets HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Cells, Triggers Distinct Cell Death Pathways
New research published in Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) – Molecular Basis of Disease finds that cannabidiol (CBD) can selectively impair the growth of HER2-positive breast cancer cells by lowering HER2 protein levels and activating specific, non-apoptotic cell death pathways.
Study: CB2 Activation May Reduce Lung Injury Caused by COVID-19
A new study published in the journal Lung by researchers at Eastern Virginia Medical School at Old Dominion University reports that activating the cannabinoid type 2 receptor (CB2) may help prevent lung damage caused by COVID-19.
CBD May Help Limit the “Second Wave” of Brain Damage After Traumatic Brain Injury, Study Finds
A new study published in Current Opinion in Toxicology by researchers from Gazi University says cannabidiol (CBD) may have potential as a treatment to blunt the delayed “secondary wave” of damage that can follow traumatic brain injury (TBI).
CB1 Activation Helps Speed Wound Healing, Reports Study
Researchers from Hallym University and Eulji University in the Republic of Korea report that activating cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) boosted several key wound-healing processes in human skin cells and accelerated wound closure in mice, according to findings published in International Journal of Molecular Sciences.
Study: CBD Kills Rare Ovarian Tumor Cells by Targeting TRPV2 Channel and Mitochondrial Pathway
A new study reports that cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating component of marijuana, may exploit a specific ion channel and a mitochondrial pathway to kill cells from a rare type of ovarian tumor.
Study: CBC and CBD Combo Shrinks Drug-Resistant Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Tumors in Lab and Animal Models
A new peer-reviewed study published in Drug Delivery and Translational Research by researchers from Florida A&M University reports that combining the non-intoxicating cannabinoids cannabichromene (CBC) and cannabidiol (CBD) produced strong anti-tumor effects against a form of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that had become resistant to the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin.
Study: Female Marijuana Plants Contain Nearly 17 Times More CBD Than Males, Researchers Identify the Exact Genes Responsible
A new peer-reviewed 0 published in iScience by researchers from the Institute of Bast Fiber Crops at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences provides one of the clearest molecular explanations yet for why female marijuana plants are dramatically more valuable for cannabinoid production than male plants.
Epigenetic “Switch” May Help Breeders Boost Hemp Flavonoids and Cannabinoids, Study Finds
A study in Frontiers in Plant Science reports that “chromatin opening”, a form of epigenetic regulation that helps control whether genes are easy or hard to activate, may play a central role in why some cannabis varieties produce more flavonoids and cannabinoids than others.
