Cannabinoids originating from plants, such as Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), cannabinol, and formulations resembling Sativex, have demonstrated neuroprotective properties in various preclinical models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Nevertheless, the therapeutic potential of lesser-known phytocannabinoids, including cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), has not been extensively investigated. The present investigation examined the neuroprotective capabilities of CBDA, alongside cannabidivarin, cannabidiol (CBD),…
Herbal Therapeutics
A fascinating and often overlooked fact is that cannabis is one of the very few plants to have been officially integrated into modern allopathic (conventional) medicine not merely as a dietary supplement or traditional herbal remedy, but as a fully regulated prescription medicine available in pharmacies. This integration is supported by rigorous scientific evidence from…
Mahasarakham, Thailand: Patients diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma (biliary tract cancer) who integrate cannabis into their palliative medical treatment experience prolonged survival compared to those who do not, according to the findings of a retrospective cohort study published in the scientific journal F1000 Research.
Thai investigators compared survival trends among 491 patients diagnosed with advanced CCA (cholangiocarcinoma). Of these, 404 patients received palliative…
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) induces a profound disruption of the excitatory–inhibitory balance through excessive glutamate release (excitotoxicity) and impaired GABAergic inhibition. Preclinical evidence, supported by multiple peer-reviewed studies, demonstrates that cannabidiol (CBD) and other cannabinoids can attenuate cortical glutamate surge, preserve or enhance GABAergic signaling, reduce neuroinflammation, and limit secondary neuronal damage. This review synthesizes…
Recent research confirms what advocates of natural medicine have claimed for years: natural cannabinoids, particularly CBD (cannabidiol) and CBDV (cannabidivarin), in their complete, unaltered plant form, possess remarkable antifungal properties.
A study published on June 5, 2025, in the prestigious journal PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases convincingly demonstrated that these natural compounds can combat a wide…
Why Medicine Can No Longer Afford to Ignore It
For decades, the endocannabinoid system (ECS) — the body’s largest neuromodulatory network — has been treated as a footnote in medical education. While students spend hundreds of hours mastering the renin-angiotensin system or the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, most graduate knowing little or nothing about the physiological system…
As you dive into the science of cannabis, one thing hits you immediately: this single plant seems to touch every corner of the human body and mind.
How can one herb do so much?
Data from clinics treating over 18,000 medical cannabis patients show the same pattern: people with wildly different conditions – cancer, Crohn’s,…
A message from our community to parents, young members, and future farmers We believe in growing with awareness, responsibility, and care for both the plant and the people.
While we respect cannabis as a natural herb with a long agricultural and cultural history, we are also committed to science and the well-being of our…
