Could CBD Revolutionize Stem Cell Therapy? Shocking New Study Reveals Its Impact on Tissue Repair and Cancer Cells!

CBD and Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs): 11 studies focused on CBD’s effects on CSCs. Most studies (64%) were on glioblastoma (a type of brain cancer), 27% on lung cancer, and one study on breast cancer. CBD was found to slow down the growth of some CSCs. Key Findings: CBD helps regular stem cells grow into specific cells and protects them. CBD can slow down some cancer stem cells. Source

Does cannabis raise your blood pressure? 35-year CARDIA study finds no link between lifetime cannabis use and hypertension risk in young adults.

What did they find? There was no clear link between lifetime cannabis use and developing high blood pressure. The results stayed the same even when they looked at men vs. women, Black vs. White participants, alcohol use, cigarette smoking, or recent cannabis use (days in the past month). What does this mean? The study suggests that using cannabis over a lifetime doesn’t increase or decrease the risk of getting high blood pressure. The findings held up across different ways of analyzing the data, making the results more reliable. Source

Drug Use Linked to Brain Decline, but Cannabis Could Protect Your Mind! Tau Protein May Hold the Key 

Tau Protein's Role: Tau helps keep brain cells (neurons) stable by supporting their internal structure and transport system. Problem with Tau: When Tau is overly modified (hyperphosphorylated) or broken apart, it can clump together, harming brain cells and contributing to diseases like Alzheimer's. Substance Use Impact: Long-term use of certain drugs or substances can also cause harmful changes to Tau, similar to Alzheimer's. Specific Substances: Alcohol and Opioids: These trigger enzymes (like GSK-3β and CDK5) and proteins (like caspase-3) that over-modify or break Tau, causing brain inflammation and immune cell activity. Stimulants and Dissociatives: These mess with insulin signals, increase cell stress, and disrupt how cells move materials, worsening Tau problems. Cannabinoids and Psychedelics: These might protect the brain by calming enzyme activity, reducing inflammation, or boosting brain flexibility. Source

Hemp Roots Hold Cancer-Fighting Secret!

What did researchers find? They isolated four neolignans from hemp roots, each slightly different in weight. Two of these were named dadahol A and dadahol B. They tested these against cancer cells (neuroblastoma, hepatoblastoma, and Hodgkin's lymphoma). Mixtures with dadahol A and/or B were very effective at killing cancer cells. Pure dadahol A was the best at stopping cancer cell growth in all tested cell lines. Source
