New neuroscience research: CBD does not temper THC’s effects on brain connectivity, may enhance disruption
New research has found that CBD does not mitigate and may even exacerbate THC’s disruptive effects on brain connectivity, challenging the belief that CBD tempers THC's psychoactive impact.

Cannabis use is associated with psychotic symptoms in between 2% and 21% of users. The highest rates were reported by experimental studies that administered tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), while the lowest (2%) were observed in studies assessing medicinal cannabis.

Cannabis use is associated with psychotic symptoms in between 2% and 21% of users
A recent study found that 2% to 21% of cannabis users experience psychotic symptoms, with higher rates linked to THC. Experimental studies showed the highest rates, while medicinal cannabis studies reported the lowest.
A study of 275 children under 14 in the U.S. found that those living in households with in-home cannabis smoking (which releases smoke containing toxic chemicals, carcinogens) were five times more likely to have detectable THC equivalents in their urine, with 27% showing detectable THC biomarkers

Cannabis products with more THC slightly reduce pain but cause more side effects
A new systematic evidence review finds that cannabis products that carry relatively high levels of the psychoactive compound THC may provide short-term improvements in pain and function. However, the review found THC-based products led to an increased risk…

Detection of THC Impairment Using Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
This crossover trial compares the accuracy of resting-state functional near-infrared spectroscopy vs standard field sobriety testing to detect ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) impairment among adults who use cannabis.

Study: Consumers Show No Impairment in Their Next-Day Driving Performance Despite Residual THC Blood Levels Read Full Article #THCimpairment #drivingresearch #cannabisnews
🚗 Driving simulator data published in the Journal of Cannabis Research indicates that cannabis consumers do not exhibit next-day driving impairment, even with trace THC levels (above 2ng/ml) in their blood, 12 hours after use.
📊 Canadian investigators found that regular cannabis users and non-users showed similar driving performance on a simulator, with no significant correlation between THC/CBD levels and driving ability.
🔬 The study's conclusions echo a UC San Diego study, suggesting that the presence of THC in bodily fluids doesn't automatically predict impaired driving performance.
