Psychosis is the loss of contact with external reality, meaning that those afflicted with this condition, unaware of their circumstances, can potentially experience delusions, hallucinations, and more.

CBD has already been shown to have an antipsychotic effect in humans, but how and why has remained unclear. But if results of a new study on the therapeutic effects of cannabidiol on psychosis is able to be replicated, it could have extremely important implications in the area of psychiatric treatments.

The health benefits of cannabis are coming into clearer focus, with medical consumers most commonly using marijuana to treat muscle pain, anxiety, depression, joint pain and insomnia, Strainprint Technologies Inc. notes in a new report.

The report, the Canadian Medical Cannabis Experience: A 2019 Patient Retrospective, offers a sweeping view of how patients are using cannabis and is informed by “more than 800,000, real-time anonymous patient outcomes” throughout the 2018 calendar year.

You wouldn’t need to use cannabis any longer than you would need to use other forms of medication or treatment for whatever condition it is that’s ailing you.

How long is too long to be taking prescribed medication? It’s a question that’s not so easy to answer.

Some medications are meant for short-term use, others are intended for long-term use, and some fall somewhere in between. But what about medical marijuana? Once you become a patient, how long should you expect to keep using cannabis?

Although it isn’t classified as an illness, psychosis is a serious mental condition that requires attention.

When talking about psychosis triggered by the use of cannabis, it’s important to note that this acute state can manifest with severe symptoms, but will usually resolve once the drug is out of the system.

Research analyzing marijuana and its effects on seniors is lacking, but a recent one conducted in Geneva provided some positive results.

Some of the most promising developments on medical marijuana are the possibilities it provides for seniors struggling with chronic conditions. Marijuana is known for its broad effect, treating a variety of diseases and disorders without providing significant side effects. This alone makes it stand out in a market filled with opioids and medicines that affect people’s quality of life.

New research points to a possible link between cannabis use and higher levels of stress and anxiety, conditions people often treat precisely with marijuana, as well as inflammation.

Published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, the study comprising Canadian and Australian scientists found that long-term marijuana users “showed higher neuroimmune activation or translocator protein levels.”

“Higher levels of this protein were linked with stress and anxiety and also with higher levels of an inflammatory marker in the blood of cannabis users,” the researchers said.
