Study: Maternal Marijuana Use Not Linked to Retinopathy of Prematurity in Preterm Infants

Study Published in Canadian Journal of Pain Finds Medical Marijuana Linked to Improvements in Pain, Mental Health and Quality of Life
A study published by the Canadian Journal of Pain reports that patients with chronic pain who used medical marijuana experienced measurable improvements in pain-related outcomes, mental health indicators and overall quality of life over a 24-week period.
Study Finds CBD May Support Bone Formation, Strength, and Healing Through Multiple Biological Pathways
A new review published in Biomedicines is adding to the growing body of research suggesting that cannabidiol (CBD) could play a meaningful role in bone health. Conducted by researchers from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, the scoping review examined 24 original studies exploring how CBD affects bone-related outcomes across a range of experimental models.
Study: Full-Spectrum CBD Extract Reduced Meth Relapse-Like Behavior Better than CBD Alone
A study published by the journal Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry found that a full-spectrum CBD extract reduced relapse-like methamphetamine seeking and meth-triggered hyperactivity in an animal model better than CBD alone.
Study: Combining CBD and CBG Cuts Effective CBD Seizure Dose in Half in Standard Epilepsy Model
New research published in Basic & Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology by scientists at the University of Toronto found that the non-psychoactive cannabinoids cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) both suppress seizures on their own and, when combined, significantly reduce the amount of CBD needed to achieve seizure protection.
Study: CBD Protects Newborn Brain Cells From Oxygen Deprivation by Blocking Ferroptosis Pathway
In a study being published in the March issue of Phytomedicine and published online ahead of print, CBD was found to protect newborn brain cells from one of the most damaging effects of oxygen deprivation: a form of cell death known as ferroptosis.
