Regulators need to rethink restrictions on cannabis research

This protocol is designed to provide instructional information for the clonal propagation of Cannabis sativa L. by implementing aeroponic systems. The method described here includes all necessary supplies and protocols to successfully reproduce desirable morphological and chemical properties in the genus...

Ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) increases extraction efficiency of solvents and when applied to Cannabis spp. biomass it reduces the time required for extraction. This decreases the cost and potential cannabinoid loss due to degradation. Additionally, UAE is considered a green method due to low solvent...

Cannabis distillate vape cartridges are battery-powered devices that aerosolize extracts containing high concentrations of cannabinoids. The absence of established preclinical models for these products creates challenges in studying their physiological effects. To address this gap, a standardized preclinical inhalation murine model for vaporized cannabis distillates has been...

This is a 3T magnetic resonance imaging study aiming to investigate grey matter volume differences between cannabis-induced psychosis patients and non-psychotic chronic cannabis...

Restriction enzymes or endonucleases recognize and cut DNA at a specific sequence. These enzymes occur naturally in bacteria as a defense against bacteriophages - viruses that infect bacteria. Bacterial restriction enzymes cut the invading bacteriophage DNA while leaving the bacterial genomic DNA unharmed due to addition of methyl groups.
This video explains the basic principles of restriction enzymes including: how restriction enzymes are named and the types of recognition sites and...

We establish a standardized in vitro model for studying cannabis vapor exposure at the air-liquid interface. This model provides a systematic approach to examine the impacts of vaporized cannabis, addressing the growing interest in cannabis vaporizers as an alternative to...
