Intranasal CBD Nanocarriers for Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut Syndromes, Promise Before Proof
medical cannabis research: A 2026 review argues that intranasal nanostructured lipid CBD could improve brain delivery for severe childhood epilepsies, but the clinical evidence remains preclinical and translational. It keeps the evidence readable for…
Weekly Medical Cannabis & Science Literature Radar: September 13, 2026
A comprehensive weekly literature index analyzing 20 newly published medical cannabis, cannabinoid, and GLP-1 research studies, clinical trial protocols, and regulatory updates.
Cannabis Heart Rhythm, Peer-Reviewed at Last: The JACC Data
The peer-reviewed data behind August's cannabis-and-heart-rhythm headlines are finally out. A randomized JACC trial found modestly less cardiac ectopy on cannabis-use days, but the accompanying editorial warns against reading too much into it. Here is…
Cannabinoids in Mental Health Treatment: A Systematic Review of Efficacy and Safety
Clinical Takeaway Cannabinoids show mixed efficacy in treating mental disorders and substance use disorders with varying safety profiles across studies. Limited evidence supports their use as a primary treatment, highlighting the need for further…
Navigating Federal Regulations on Edibles for Travelers
Cannabis edibles with more than 0.3% THC are federally illegal and cannot be brought on a plane. This stance creates legal gray areas for medical marijuana patients, especially during international travel.
Cannabis Effects on Endocannabinoid System Clinical Research: Cannabidiol’s Impact on Glucose Tolerance and Gut Microbiome
Clinical Takeaway Short-term low-dose cannabidiol did not affect glucose tolerance or alter the gut microbiome in sedentary adults with overweight or obesity. The study found no significant changes in these parameters despite CBD's potential…
Cannabis Plant Anatomy: What the Microscopy Actually Shows About Where Cannabinoids Come From
Cannabis plant anatomy, read from the microscopy literature rather than the infographics: cannabinoids and most terpenes are made and stored in glandular trichomes on the surface of female floral bracts, not within leaf, stem, or root tissue. Stalked…
Where Cannabinoid Receptors Actually Live: A Working Map of CB1 and CB2 Across the Human Body
CB1 and CB2 receptor distribution is the anatomical foundation under every clinical question in cannabis medicine, and most summaries of it are vaguer than the primary data require. This page maps both receptors from the original cloning and…
What Cannabinoid Receptors Do Inside Immune Cells, and Why That Is Not the Same as Fighting Infection
CB2 receptors and innate immunity are genuinely linked, but not in the way most consumer writing suggests: cannabinoid receptors modulate inflammatory signaling rather than recognizing pathogens. This page separates the established receptor biology from…
Which Genes Actually Change How You Respond to Cannabis, and Which Ones Are Being Oversold
Cannabis pharmacogenetics has produced one solid result and a long tail of associations that consumer testing companies treat as though they were equally established. The documented finding is that CYP2C9*3 homozygotes reach roughly three times the THC…
