“Cannabinoid” is the collective term for a group of chemical compounds that either are derived from the Cannabis plant, are synthetic analogues, or occur endogenously. Although cannabinoids interact mostly at the level of the currently recognized cannabinoid receptors, they might have cross reactivity, such as at opioid receptors. The use of cannabinoid therapies could be effective in improving quality of life and possibly modifying malignancy by virtue of direct effects and in improving compliance or adherence with disease-modulating treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
CBD: the MIRACLE of the MODERN WORLD! But, is it?
Addiction can become a deeper and darker void than we feel able to escape from
The history of cannabis genetics can be a fascinating thing. Whether it’s the origins of the Skunk family, Blueberry, Haze or Autoflowering cannabis, each genetic line has a story to be told.
The hope is that with more research and scientific base it will give the medical community the legitimacy of cannabis based treatments.
Small-batch crafted in Healesville, this complex gin represents the marriage of past and future.
Recently, cannabis has been suggested as a potential alternative therapy for refractory epilepsy, which affects 30% of epilepsy, both adults and children, who do not respond to current medications. There is a large unmet medical need for new antiepileptics that would not interfere with normal function in patients with refractory epilepsy and conditions associated with refractory seizures.
We’ve looked at alcohol consumption, gambling and now cannabis use across the menstrual cycle
Cannabis has been used for centuries to treat seizures. Recent anecdotal reports, accumulating animal model data, and mechanistic insights have raised interest in cannabis-based antiepileptic therapies. These studies suggest that CBD avoids the psychoactive effects of the endocannabinoid system to provide a well-tolerated, promising therapeutic for the treatment of seizures, while whole-plant cannabis can both contribute to and reduce seizures.
