| | | | |  With the legalization of medical and recreational marijuana, there has been a rise in the use of cannabinoid products and thus, increased demand for techniques that can measure the levels of cannabinoids in the human body. Just as alcohol is measured using a breathalyzer, law enforcement officers also want to measure the levels of cannabinoids in the breath. | | | | |  The rise in cannabis use has led to a number of online shops offering cannabinoid products, including cannabidiol (CBD), that have not undergone diligent pre-clinical and clinical testing. In response, scientists have developed an assay to measure the concentration of cannabinoids in human blood plasma during the use of cannabinoid-containing products. | | | | |  Researchers at the University of Queensland have found that a topical formulation containing cannabidiol (CBD) is effective at killing bacterial skin infections and could form the basis of a new drug. | | | | |  A new study from the University of York shows that research into the association of psychosis with cannabis focuses almost completely on men users, significantly limiting our knowledge of the drug’s effects on human health. | | | | |  Researchers at the University of Guelph have uncovered how the cannabis plant produces pain-relieving molecules that are thirty times more effective at reducing inflammation than aspirin. Tariq Akhtar and colleagues hope the discovery will lead to the development of naturally-derived drugs that will provide potent pain relief, without causing problematic side effects and addiction. | |
