If you use CBD products, understanding the entourage effect helps explain why full-spectrum formulations may offer greater therapeutic benefit than isolated CBD alone. An overview of the entourage effect explains how CBD works synergistically with other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids found naturally in full-spectrum hemp products to produce enhanced therapeutic outcomes compared to isolated CBD alone. The concept is supported by preclinical and emerging clinical data showing that combinations of non-psychotropic cannabinoids such as CBG, CBN, and CBDV amplify anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, and analgesic effects.
Four More States Advance Bills to Allow Medical Marijuana Access in Hospitals
The DOJ’s argument that even elderly medical marijuana patients could face armed federal agents exposes the absurdity of current federal cannabis law and the urgent need for reform. Marijuana Moment reports that four additional states are advancing legislation to allow medical marijuana use in hospital settings. This represents a growing trend toward integrating cannabis into clinical care where patients most need symptom relief—including hospice, palliative care, and post-surgical recovery.
Study: Minor Cannabinoids CBDV and CBG Show Powerful Anti-Inflammatory Effects When Combined
If you or someone you love uses high-potency cannabis products regularly, this research suggests the mental health risks are real—especially for younger users whose brains are still developing. A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that 10 non-psychotropic phytocannabinoids—particularly CBDV and CBG—demonstrated meaningful anti-inflammatory effects. Researchers from the University of Chemistry and Technology and the Czech Academy of Sciences found that CBDV significantly reduced IL-6 and TNF-α production and inhibited NF-κB activation.
