Study Finds Cannabis Oils With THC and CBD Reduce Liver Damage and Oxidative Stress in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
A new study published in the Journal of Cannabis Research and indexed by the U.S. National Library of Medicine has found that certain cannabis oils (COs) may significantly reduce liver damage, oxidative stress, and dyslipidemia in those with diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Researchers from several Argentine institutions, including the Universidad Nacional del Litoral …
Study: CBD Reduces Seizure Frequency in Patients With Rare Epilepsy Syndromes
A new multicenter study has found that highly purified cannabidiol (CBD) significantly reduces seizure frequency in patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), Dravet syndrome (DS), and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)-associated epilepsy. Researchers in Germany conducted a retrospective review of medical records from 202 patients who received at least one dose of Epidyolex, a 100 mg/mL oral …
Study: Medical-Only Cannabis Users in California Show Distinct Patterns Compared to Combined Users
A new study from researchers at the University of California San Diego highlights key differences between people who use cannabis solely for medicinal reasons and those who use it for both medicinal and recreational purposes following the enactment of California’s Proposition 64. The findings, published in the Journal of Cannabis Research, are based on survey …
Study: Cannabigerol (CBG) Reduces Fat Accumulation and Improves Heart Cell Function Under Lipid Overload
According to the results of new study, cannabigerol (CBG), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, may help protect heart cells from lipid-induced damage by reducing fat accumulation and modulating fatty acid metabolism. Researchers from the Medical University of Bialystok evaluated how different concentrations of CBG (2.5 µM, 5 µM, and 10 µM) affected heart-derived H9c2 cells under lipid …
Study: THC May Improve Wound Healing by Modulating Immune Response
A study published in Experimental Gerontology has found that low doses of THC may help improve wound healing in older individuals by regulating inflammation and boosting stem cell activity. Researchers from University Hospital RWTH Aachen administered daily low-dose medical THC to aged female mice for three weeks before inducing full-thickness skin wounds. They found that …
Study: CBD Use May Reduce Alcohol Dependence and Brain Damage
New research from the University of California San Diego finds that chronic administration of cannabidiol (CBD) may significantly reduce alcohol dependence and prevent alcohol-induced brain damage, offering new hope for the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD). Published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology, the study used two rodent models to simulate key features of human alcohol …
Study: Subsurface Drip Irrigation Improves CBD Yield and Cuts Water Use in Outdoor Cannabis Cultivation
According to a study published in the Journal of Cannabis Research, subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) can significantly enhance sustainability and efficiency in outdoor medical cannabis cultivation. Researchers from Germany’s Institute of Crop Science and Department of Biostatistics tested SDI against traditional drip irrigation (DI) on three CBD-rich cannabis genotypes—Kanada, Terra Italia, and FED—grown in foil tunnel …
Medical Cannabis Shows Promise for Adolescents With Tourette Syndrome, Study Finds
A pilot study has found that medicinal cannabis may help improve tics and quality of life in adolescents with Tourette syndrome, without serious safety concerns. Conducted by researchers from the University of New South Wales, the Royal Children’s Hospital, and the University of Melbourne, the open-label, single-arm trial involved 10 participants aged 12 to 18 …
