Searching for purer, minor cannabinoids is the goal of new extraction research as extractors dig deeper into the diversity of the plant.

The current challenges and future perspectives of the purification of cannabinoids from cannabis extracts are presented in this review article.

The effects of worms consuming cannabis were researched in a experiment showing that that they got the munchies and craved junk food.

To help clinicians and patients navigate cannabinoid-based medications (CBM), Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research published guidelines based on reviews of studies on CBM and chronic pain.

When you think of cannabis, you probably don’t think of horses or the potential medicinal benefit to animals. However, the cannabinoids found in cannabis have been shown to provide similar benefits in animals that are noted with human patients. In this interview, Emma Davis, founder of Mikko’s Choice, delves into how some cannabinoids—such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabinol (CBN), and tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA)—have provided medicinal benefits to horses. Davis also discusses her mustang, Mikko, who inspired her to launch her own cannabis and hemp product brand.

On February 13, 2023, the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) declared in a letter that the cannabinoids delta-8 and -9 THCO are both considered controlled substances due to their chemical structures.

Currently in the life cycle of the cannabis industry, it is not obvious where the heavy metal regulatory landscape will end up. Clearly, the big four are not enough, but what is a realistic panel that reflects the real world of cannabinoid production?

In this recent interview, Bruce Kendall and Dr. Hinanit Koltai of the Volcani Institute share the inspiring story of the late Michelle Kendall and how her passion for science and research brought them all together to study medical cannabis as a potential treatment for ovarian cancer.

In the work presented here, the author shares research from collecting reports from the New Jersey State laboratory (the Department of Health’s Environmental and Chemical Laboratory Services), which has conducted testing for the state’s medicinal program. He documented an average variance of 20% in potency levels from different samples of the same test lot.

Dr. Dustin Sulak of Healer.com and Integr8 Health shares some insights from two talks he gave at Cannabis Science Conference East 2022.

A review of the claims that differences in extract type can affect cost, ease of formulation, and the experience of the finished product.

In the work presented here, the authors pursue a more detailed understanding of the naturally rare occurring cannabinoid analogue, hexahydrocannabinol (HHC), by exploring the safety profile using a third-party lab to produce preclinical in vitro safety profile data. The purpose of these studies is to demonstrate HHC as a safe cannabinoid for potential human consumption.

This article examines why we should be studying the cannabinoids beyond THC and CBD in order to explore their potential medical value.

Understanding the biochemical and physical process that comprise and control leaf-level physiology gives us deep insight into the plant, which may convert directly to cultivation practices.

The various extract types are defined so there can be some consensus once and for all.

When a patient isn’t able to access the care or medication that they need in their home country, they aren’t left with much of a choice but to travel to a country that will give them the treatment they need. In part II of this interview series, Nikki Lawley, founder of Nikki and the Plant, LLC, and retired licensed practical nurse (LPN), continues discussing her journey to health, the broken healthcare system hurting medical cannabis patients in the US, and what needs to change to make access better for patients.

Part II of this series reviews the history of vape products, producing cannabis vapes, the myriad of extract types, and how temperature and hardware impact the user experience.
