A study published in the International Journal of Pharmaceutics suggests that combining cannabinoid and terpene nanoparticles could offer enhanced pain-relief effects while requiring lower doses. For the study, researchers encapsulated cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) and three cannabis-derived terpenes—myrcene, nerolidol, and caryophyllene—into biodegradable nanoparticles, then tested them alone and in combination for their ability to activate the …

Study: Long-Term CBD Treatment Improves Memory and Reduces Brain Inflammation
New research published in the journal Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience finds that daily cannabidiol (CBD) treatment may help slow cognitive decline in aging, without impairing motor skills or causing negative side effects. Researchers from the University of Lethbridge and McGill University studied the impact of CBD in an animal model over a seven-month period. Starting …
Study: Researchers Identify Major Genetic Markers Driving THC and CBD Production in Cannabis
Researchers from Université Laval in Quebec have mapped key genetic markers responsible for cannabinoid production in marijuana, a discovery they say could revolutionize strain development and genetic selection in the legal cannabis industry. The findings were published in Plant Genome. Using a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 174 marijuana strains from Canada’s legal market, the …
Study: 3D-Printed CBD Stent Shows Promise for Localized Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Treatment
According to a new study, researchers have developed a 3D-printed stent designed to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) using cannabidiol (CBD), potentially offering a targeted alternative to conventional antibiotic therapy. The study, published in the International Journal of Pharmaceutics, was conducted by scientists from the University of Bern in Switzerland and the University of Rome …
Study: Low Dose of CBD May Reverse Depression-Like Symptoms Caused by Stress by Restoring Brain Synapses
A new study published in Neuropharmacology suggests that even a very low dose of cannabidiol (CBD) may be enough to partially reverse symptoms of depression brought on by chronic stress. Researchers from the Universitat de Barcelona and the University of Greifswald used a well-established mouse model of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) to examine the effects …
Two-Thirds of Children With Autism Showed Behavioral Improvements From CBD in New Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study
A new double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study has found that cannabidiol (CBD) led to behavioral improvements in about two-thirds of boys with autism spectrum disorder, though researchers emphasize that a strong placebo effect complicates interpretation of the results. Conducted by the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and published in the Journal of Autism …
Study: Cannabis Legalization in Canada Linked to Far Fewer Hospitalizations Among Youth
A study published today by the American Journal of Public Health finds that Canada’s legalization of marijuana was associated with a sharp decline in cannabis-related hospitalizations among youth under the minimum legal age (MLA), suggesting age restrictions may help protect young people. Researchers from the University of Ottawa, University of Southern California, University of Toronto, and …
Nanoencapsulated CBD May Reduce Panic-Like Responses, Finds Study
A study published today by the International Journal of Pharmaceutics finds that nanoencapsulated cannabidiol (CBD) may significantly reduce panic-like behaviors. Researchers from the University of São Paulo, the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, and the University of Poonch Rawalakot explored how nanoencapsulation—specifically, polymeric lipid core-based technology—affects CBD’s impact on defensive behaviors triggered by exposure …
Study: Low-Dose CBD Reverses Depression-Like Effects of Chronic Stress in Animal Model
A new study published in Neuropharmacology has found that an ultra-low dose of cannabidiol (CBD) may effectively reverse some of the behavioral and molecular effects of chronic stress, a major factor contributing to depression. Researchers from the University of Barcelona and the University of Greifswald administered a low dose of CBD (1 mg/kg) to mice …
Study: End-of-Day Far-Red Light Boosts THC Levels in Cannabis, Reduces Energy Use
A study published in the journal Scientific Reports has found that adding far-red light at the end of the day can significantly boost THC levels in some cannabis strains while reducing overall energy consumption. For the study, researchers from Australia compared six lighting treatments across three popular genotypes—Cannatonic, Hindu Kush, and Northern Lights—exploring whether a …
