Cannabis terpenes effectively reduce chronic neuropathic pain, matching morphine's efficacy, and enhance pain relief when combined with morphine without increasing side effects or addiction risk.

Recent research found that cannabidiol reduces cocaine preference in mice and restores gut microbiota diversity disrupted by cocaine, suggesting CBD's potential in treating cocaine addiction.

Cannabis users exhibit weaker neural responses in brain regions related to cognitive flexibility during task-switching, despite showing no significant differences in task performance compared to nonusers.

A recent study found that cannabis use before sex significantly increased orgasm frequency, ease, and satisfaction for women with orgasmic difficulties, benefiting over 70% of participants.

A recent study published in Frontiers in Pediatrics suggests that prenatal cannabis exposure is related to altered early language development within the first year of life.

A recent study found that occasional cannabis users experienced more significant cognitive and psychomotor impairments after smoking than daily users, indicating possible tolerance in frequent users.

Recent research suggests that D-limonene, a common terpene found in cannabis and citrus fruits, might mitigate some of the anxiety-inducing effects of THC.

Researchers at the Salk Institute found that cannabinol (CBN) and its derivatives could protect brain cells from aging and damage, showing potential for treating neurological disorders like Alzheimer's and traumatic brain injuries. These findings suggest new therapeutic avenues for neurodegeneration.

Researchers debunked the stereotype of the "lazy stoner," finding that chronic cannabis users exhibit increased positive emotions and maintained motivation, with no significant impact on productivity, though some aspects of conscientiousness were lower when high.
