Parkinson's Disease is a neurodegenerative disease of the brain. Parkinson's is a progressive disease and tends to worsen over time. In a healthy brain, brain cells produce a chemical called dopamine. Dopamine is responsible for relaying messages within the brain that control movement in the human body. Cannabis contains more than 60 different compounds referred to as cannabinoids. Our body naturally make our own cannabinoids that bind to receptors found in the body and brain, called the endocannabinoid system. When these cannabinoids bind to receptors, they can impact brain chemicals, including dopamine, which decreases in Parkinson's. One area of the brain that contains a high number of these receptors is the basal ganglia - the complex of cells that control movement and is affected by Parkinson's. Cannabinoids in marijuana work in the same ways as cannabinoids made by our own body, providing antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Many Parkinson's patients have relayed anecdotal evidence that cannabis has a positive, improved impact on their Parkinson's related motor symptoms. - Journal of Psychopharmacology #parkinsons #parkinsonsdisease #cannabis #medicine #medicalmarijuana411 #research #medicalmarijuana #ecs #endocannabinoidsystem #cannabinoid320
Dr. James Feeney, a surgeon in Connecticut, heard from his patients. Several turned down his prescription for oxycodone, the popular opioid painkiller that has gained notoriety by fueling the opioid epidemic. Marijuana has worked so well for his patients,that Feeney is following his patients lead and he is conducting a trial at Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford, Connecticut. The study will compare opioids and medical marijuana for treating acute pain. #medicine #medicalmarijuana #medicalmarijuana411 #cannabis #pain #painmanagement #opioidepidemic #opioids #oxycodone #epidemic #research761
ALS, also known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease", is a neurodegenerative disease caused by destruction of motor neurons, which are cells of the nervous system which transmit signals to your muscles to control movement. This damage leads to muscle weakness and atrophy (i.e. wasting/shrinking). There is no known cure for ALS and most patients pass away within three to five years after receiving the diagnosis. There is increasing amounts of evidence that cannabis may be useful in alleviating the symptoms of patients with ALS. #als #medicalmarijuana #cannabis #research #amyotrophiclateralsclerosis #medicalmarijuana411 #marijuanaeducation #cannabiscertification #cannabiscommunity390
Researchers from Cornell University studied 11 New York hemp farms and found that bees (16 different varieties of bees) were swarming the crops. And the higher the plant, the more bees it attracted. Plants that were 2 meters or taller attracted 17 times the number of bees than the shorter plants. . . . “As cultivation of hemp increases, growers, land managers and policy makers should consider its value in supporting bee communities and take it attractiveness to bees into account when developing pest management strategies,” the researchers wrote. “Plant height...was strongly correlated with bee species richness and abundance for hemp plots with taller varieties attracting a broader diversity of bee species.” . . . Bee pollination plays a pivotal role is U.S. agriculture and is responsible for $20 million US domestic crop production. 🐝 . . . #bee #beehappy #savethebees #savethebees🐝 #hemp #hempgrowers #hempgrower #cannabiscommunity #cannabis #marijuana #medicalmarijuana #medicalmarijuana411 #agriculture #pollinators481
BREAKING - A team of Canadian scientists believes it has discovered a series of plants high in CBD found to prevent and treat coronavirus infections according to a new study and patient interviews. . . . Researchers from the University of Lethbridge said that the April study showed at least 13 cannabis plants high in CBD appeared to affect the ACE2 pathways that the virus uses to access the body. The study suggests that cannabis could reduce the virus’ 🦠 entry and infection by 70 to 80 percent. Researchers stressed that more studies are needed but hope, if proven to modulate the enzyme which “may prove a plausible strategy for decreasing disease susceptibility” as well as “become a useful and safe addition to the treatment of COVID-19 as an adjunct therapy” said Igor Kolalchuk, Researcher - University of Lethbridge. . . . Although positive, researchers were also quick to point out that the study suggests only a handful of high CBD, sativa varieties provided positive results from more than 800 strains. . . . “While our most effective extracts require further large-scale validation, our study is crucial for the future analysis of the effects of medical cannabis on COVID-19,” the research said. #covid_19 #covid19 #coronavirus #cannabiscommunity #cannabis #medicalcannabis #marijuana #medicalmarijuana #medicalmarijuana411 #education #research #budtender #cme #cannabiscourses #cannabiseducation #cannabiseducator1297
