A new systematic review published in Sexual Medicine concludes that cannabis shows strong potential for treating female orgasmic disorder (FOD) and orgasm difficulty, conditions affecting up to 41% of women worldwide and lacking FDA-approved medications. The analysis included 16 studies spanning five decades, with data from 8,849 female participants. Nine studies evaluated cannabis use immediately …

Study: CBD With L-Tryptophan and α-Casozepine Reduces Car Travel Stress in Dogs
A study from the Waltham Petcare Science Institute in the United Kingdom found that a combination of cannabidiol (CBD), L-tryptophan, and α-casozepine produced a mild stress-reducing effect in dogs during car travel. Researchers conducted a blinded crossover trial with 54 healthy adult dogs, testing four treatments: a placebo, 2 mg/kg body weight CBD, 4 mg/kg …
Study: Genetic Mapping of Cannabis Reveals Four Distinct Lineages and Offers Breakthrough in Early Sex Identification
A recently published study has provided one of the most detailed looks yet at the genetic diversity of Cannabis sativa, identifying four genetically distinct lineages and confirming the effectiveness of a rapid DNA-based test for determining plant sex long before flowering. For the study, researchers at the Institute of Plant Breeding and Genetic Resources in …
Study: CBD May Reduce Social Withdrawal and Cocaine Vulnerability Caused by Stress
A new study published in Neuropharmacology found that cannabidiol (CBD) counteracted some harmful behavioral and brain changes caused by social stress in mice, including heightened sensitivity to cocaine’s rewarding effects. Researchers from the University of Valencia, University of Zaragoza and University of Heidelberg used an intermittent social defeat (ISD) model, where adolescent male mice were …
Study Finds No Link Between Marijuana Use and Hypertension, Even After 35 Years of Follow-Up
A new analysis published in the journal Hypertension found no association between cumulative, long-term marijuana use and the risk of developing hypertension, even after 35 years of follow-up. The work draws on the CARDIA cohort (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults) and was conducted by a team from UC San Diego, Wake Forest University …
Study: Inhalable CBD-Vancomycin Blend Rapidly Kills MRSA in Lab Tests With Sustained Effects
Researchers from the University of Sydney have developed inhalable powders combining cannabidiol (CBD) and vancomycin that demonstrated strong, sustained bactericidal activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in laboratory tests. Published in the International Journal of Pharmaceutics, the study found that pairing the two drugs eliminated three clinical MRSA strains more effectively than either treatment alone. …
Study: Trichoderma hamatum Treatment Improves Drought Tolerance and Boosts Cannabinoid Production in Hemp
A new peer-reviewed study published in Current Plant Biology finds that Trichoderma hamatum, a beneficial soil fungus, can significantly reduce the harmful effects of drought stress in hemp while simultaneously increasing cannabinoid production. The research was conducted by scientists from the National Academy of Agricultural Science, Kangwon National University, and Colorado State University. Hemp plants …
Study: Hydrogel Combining CBD and FGF21 Promotes Spinal Cord Injury Repair Through Inflammation Modulation and Neural Recovery
A team of researchers in China have developed a novel hydrogel combining CBD and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) to enhance spinal cord injury recovery, according to a study published in Biomaterials. The injectable hydrogel, referred to as C/F/Gel, uses PF127 and α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) to deliver both CBD micelles (CBDm) and FGF21 in a sustained …
Study: Psilocybin Therapy Improves Quality of Life in Low-Income Patients With Depression
A new study out of Oregon found that group psilocybin therapy led to significant improvements in quality of life for low-income individuals suffering from depression. The study, first reported by KLCC, involved 19 participants who each took part in two group psilocybin sessions. All participants were in stable housing and receiving therapy, with no personal …
Study: Enhanced CBD Formulations Deliver Up to 5.7 Times Greater Absorption Compared to Standard Capsule
Two newly developed CBD products significantly outperformed a standard isolate capsule in terms of absorption and overall bioavailability, according to a new clinical trial published in the Journal of Cannabis Research. The study compared a bioavailability-enhanced CBD capsule and liquid formulation—both using surfactant/acid technology—to an unformulated CBD isolate capsule in 12 healthy male volunteers. Each …
