Last week we reported on the groundbreaking new study from Canadian researchers using genomic analysis to map and compare over 100 different cannabis strains. Their findings help give a clearer picture of the genetic background of various strains and types in an industry that has long been in the dark about genetic accuracy and consistency.

This week, we had a chance to sit down with Jonathan Page, President and CEO of Anandia Labs and an Adjunct Professor at the University of British Columbia to discuss cannabis research and the implications of this most recent study. The hour long interview is available below:

Pardon the horrible pun, but the marijuana industry is budding right before our eyes.

While THC and CBD have their individual benefits, combining the two creates a powerful force to be reckoned with – with each bolstering the other’s strengths.

THC, the most common cannabinoid found within cannabis, is best known for its psychoactive traits. It is these qualities that make cannabis so appealing to recreational users, and fuels the worries of anti-drug campaigners. Yet, only looking at THC in terms of its recreational qualities is merely scratching the surface. THC has been shown to have some therapeutic benefits, including reducing the onset of neuropathy, and helping those suffering from PTSD.

While it may seem that spending hours on Facebook is killing your brain cells rather than making you smarter, new research suggests that being connected with technology as you get older might actually be protecting your cognitive abilities — and keeping you young, in a way.

Different hypotheses exist on whether our technology-driven world is making us smarter or not. Some believe that the constant chaos attributed to fleeting memes, tweets, and blogposts reduces our attention span and ability to delve into deep focus — the kind you need when you’re reading a long book. But the researchers of the new study are looking at technology from a different viewpoint, arguing instead that it forces us to use our minds more than ever before.

There has been news about a couple of months ago about medical marijuana users being denied of organ transplant because of their cannabis use. Now, a new research shows that medical marijuana treatments may actually aid in the body delaying rejection to organ transplants.

Latest experiment conducted by scientists at the University of South Carolina used mice to test the effects of THC on the rejection of mice to incompatible organ transplants. The researchers found positive results.
