CBD and cancer — it’s a loaded topic. A lot of vague, misleading information gets thrown around.

Some claim cannabinoids are the cure we’ve been looking for while others maintain it’s all speculation. But what do we actually know?

Unfortunately, not as much as we wish. Drug prohibition severely limited research regarding cannabis as a medicine. Even to this day, scientists struggle to receive approval from government agencies when it comes to looking into cannabis’ medical properties.

Still, that’s not to say there’s nothing out there. Throughout this article, we’re going to share with you what we do know about cannabidiol (CBD) and cancer. From there, we’re going to give you our honest, educated opinion about using CBD as part of your treatment.

Without the rigorous controls that exist at an approved professional cultivation facility, it’s easy to make a mistake — and make yourself sick in the process.

In the rare event of cannabis contamination, marijuana’s health benefits can turn into health hazards.

While it’s illegal for him to prescribe medical marijuana, Dr. David Sine has found a sweet spot for his patients in letting them know all of the options available.

Dr. David Sine’s passion for decreasing pain and creating new pathways to wellness in palliative care and hospice has only increased in the past eight years. A pioneer in pediatric care, Dr. Sine focuses on children who have life-limiting illnesses and need a higher level of attention to help them recover or transition on. 

It’s looking like Thunderbirds are go for a medical cannabis insomnia product developed by Zelira Therapeutics (ASX:ZLD).

In case you’re wondering who Zelira is, you might recognise it by its previous name – Zelda Therapeutics. The name change came about after a merger with the USA’s Ilera Therapeutics LLC was finalised late last year.

Marijuana — or indeed, any substance you introduce into your body — can have different effects on different parts of your brain, and their corresponding functions.

Every component of the human body is complex, from the tiniest cell to the largest organ (which, by the way, is your skin). However, no organ is more complicated than the brain. This three-pound organ houses billions of neurons that guide thought, perception, emotion, and action, making each and every one of us who we are today.

In this article, we’ll explore a few of the many ways the human brain is affected by using marijuana (cannabis).

Recent research has highlighted how daily cannabis users are less likely to use opioids to manage their chronic pain.

Researchers from the BCCSU and University of British Columbia (UBC) interviewed more than 1,100 people at highest risk of opioid overdose in Vancouver between 2014 and 2017, who reported substance use and major or chronic pain.

A recent study found that marijuana can reduce the symptoms of ADHD and the amount of prescription medication ingested.

A new study says that when people with ADHD take the right kind of medical marijuana, they tend to use less prescription medication.

The study, published in the Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal, collected data from 53 medical cannabis patients from Israel who were diagnosed with ADHD. Thirty-seven of these patients also suffered from some other mental health condition.

Researchers said a new strategy is ‘a potentially promising way to slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease and related neurological disorders.’

New study highlighting the ability of cannabinoids to fight bacteria in dental plaque opens the door for CBD as an effective oral care product.

In recent years, the craze over CBD – cannabidiol – one of the more popular and well-known cannabinoids of the cannabis plant, has led to a massive uptick in research into its medical properties. Along with this has come a maelstrom of articles suggesting possible uses outside of what has already been studied, with hopes that upcoming scientific research will uncover even more ways that CBD can be useful, including in dental care.

Is inflammation a cause for concern? Perhaps not in the short run, but…

Whenever we get infected, injured, or in other words, whenever there is a problem inside or on the body, our immune system sends hordes of white blood cells to protect the area, remove any harmful pathogens, and kick-start the healing process.

If the infection heals quickly, we’re OK. However, if the inflammation persists for a long time, the consequences can be devastating. Not only does it cause our immune function to go down, but chronic inflammation also accelerates the aging process.
