          Shared Genetics for Cannabis Use and Psychiatric Disorders

          Researchers discovered shared genetic underpinnings for cannabis use and psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Employing advanced statistical modelling, the study revealed a complex interplay of genetic variants increasing or decreasing risk factors for these conditions. These findings may contribute to personalized preventive measures and interventional strategies.

          Hope for Chemo Brain: Cannabis Could Improve Sleep and Cognitive Function in Cancer Patients

          Cancer patients who use cannabis to address their symptoms have less pain, sleep better, and after a few weeks of sustained use, appear to think more clearly. This study is among the first to assess how cannabis bought over the counter at dispensaries affects cancer symptoms or chemotherapy side effects, and sheds light on the wide variety of products cancer patients use now that marijuana is legal in many states. The findings suggest that while some forms and dosages of cannabis for pain relief may impair thinking short-term, the treatment might improve cognition in the long run by reducing pain.

          Study Reveals How CBD Counters Epileptic Seizures

          Cannabidiol, or CBD, blocks the ability of lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) to amplify neural signals in the hippocampus. LPI weakens the signals that counter seizures, further explaining the value of CBD to treat epilepsy.
