Study Finds CBD Alters Prostate Cancer Cells and Enhances Effects of Targeted and Hormonal Treatments
Cannabidiol (CBD) altered gene regulation in prostate cancer cells and enhanced the effects of several targeted and hormonal cancer treatments, according to a new study published in Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy. Researchers from University College Dublin and University College Cork examined CBD in three human prostate cancer cell lines, including hormone-dependent LNCaP cells and hormone-independent PC3 …
Study: CBG and Full-Spectrum Cannabis Extract Reduce Inflammatory Pain in Animal Models
Cannabigerol (CBG) and a full-spectrum cannabis extract both reduced inflammatory pain and inflammation in animal models, according to a new study published in the journal Psychopharmacology. Researchers compared isolated CBG with a standardized full-spectrum cannabis extract in models of both acute and chronic inflammatory pain. The full-spectrum extract was predominantly CBD, containing 96 milligrams per …
Study: 49% of Surveyed New York Medical Marijuana Patients Say They Can’t Afford Enough Cannabis to Manage Symptoms
Nearly half of surveyed medical marijuana patients in New York say they cannot afford enough cannabis to adequately manage their symptoms, according to a study published in the September issue of Clinical Therapeutics. Researchers with the New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) analyzed two statewide surveys examining patient experiences, costs and barriers within …
Study: THC May Enhance Oxycodone’s Pain-Blocking Effects While Delaying Tolerance
THC enhanced the pain-blocking effects of oxycodone and delayed the development of tolerance in mice, according to a new study published in The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics that was conducted by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis. For the study, researchers examined how delta-9 THC and oxycodone affected antinociception, physical dependence, circadian …
Study Finds Saliva THC Tests Can Miss Recent Marijuana Use While Detecting Frequent Users for Nearly a Week
Saliva tests for THC can produce negative results shortly after marijuana use while remaining positive for days among some frequent consumers, according to a new systematic review. The study, published in the September 2026 issue of the International Journal of Legal Medicine, examined how long THC remained detectable in oral fluid using mass spectrometry and …
Study Finds CBD Delays Seizure Onset and Reduces Seizure Duration in Animal Model of Rare Childhood Brain Disease
CBD significantly delayed the onset of seizures and reduced seizure duration in a mouse model of CLN2 disease, a rare and fatal childhood neurodegenerative disorder, according to newly published research. The study, published in the journal PLOS One, was conducted by researchers from the departments of medicine, pediatrics, neurology and genetics at Washington University in …
Review Finds Marijuana and Cannabinoids May Improve Overactive Bladder and Other Urinary Symptoms
Marijuana and cannabinoid-based treatments may help reduce urinary urgency, frequency and incontinence, according to a new review examining their potential use for lower urinary tract symptoms. The review, published in the Canadian Urological Association Journal, examined existing research involving adults with overactive bladder symptoms linked to neurological conditions, benign prostatic hyperplasia or cystitis. Researchers from …
Marijuana Use Associated With Better Attention and Inhibitory Control in People With Bipolar Disorder, Study Finds
Marijuana use was associated with better performance on measures of sustained attention and inhibitory control among people with bipolar disorder, according to a new study published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology and funded in part by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the National Institute of Mental Health. For the study, researchers from the University of …
Study Finds Low-Dose THC Reduces Breast Cancer Aggressiveness, Improves Tamoxifen Sensitivity in Tumor Models
A new study finds that brief exposure to low doses of THC can push breast cancer cells toward a less aggressive state, reducing their ability to invade, self-renew and initiate new tumors while making them more responsive to the breast cancer drug tamoxifen. The peer-reviewed study, published in the journal Communications Biology, examined whether temporarily …
