Two years ago, when Dan Goulet was going up the stairs in his Toronto apartment, he slipped and smacked his head sharp against the steps. Then when he got up, he quickly blacked out and struck his head again on the steps. He was later diagnosed with...
As stocked as the shelves have been for cannabis consumers in Canada, or the e-shelves if you’re in Ontario, you won’t find a product that is gaining traction in the cannabis community: topicals.
Lynn Wells only nibbles on a cannabis brownie monthly, but she’s one of many Canadian seniors clamouring to a plant they tried decades ago and have now returned to in light of some aches, pains and other conditions.
From the perspective of an adjunctive therapy, cannabis products are some of the most effective treatment tools on the planet. The laundry list of options available to patients and adult recreational users – whole flowers, topicals, oils and capsules...
Robust is one way to define the current breadth of research that involves the cannabis and its chemical parts. Across the planet – namely in states and countries where medical cannabis is permitted – scientists are becoming increasingly invested in d...
To put it simply, CBDA is the acidic precursor to CBD (the "A" stands for "acid"). CBDA is found in the raw cannabis plant and, when heated, the compound then becomes the well-known CBD. The process of transforming CBDA to CBD is called decarboxylati...
The endocannabinoid system is found in all vertebrate animals and even some invertebrates are reported to have an ECS. According to some reports, the number of endocannabinoid receptors in the human body is greater than all of the other neuromodulato...
For two particular reasons, there are few topics being explored in the cannabis space more exhilarating than the endocannabinoid system. First, for a lack of research in the area, medical schools have almost exclusively omitted the system from the cu...
Like any prescribed medication, the therapeutic indications of cannabis are limited and have the potential for adverse effects if used improperly or abused.
As medical cannabis has gained acceptance as a viable treatment option over the past two decades, so too has the list of symptoms the plant has been shown to help grown. No longer is the plant merely used to treat chronic pain or extreme conditions l...
When discussing cannabis, it is important to remember that the line between science and folklore can at times be fickle. In the context of cannabis as a treatment, for instance, there is only one direct scientific source (THC found in ashes) that can...
As a flurry of new products have flooded the budding cannabis market in recent years, so too have those developments come to represent a wealth of hope for medical patients, or anyone looking for an alternative therapy. Where, traditionally, cannabis...
Terpenes are organic compounds that give cannabis strains their unique aromatic qualities. Synthesized with cannabinoids in the plant’s glandular trichomes, terpenes are responsible for the smell and taste characteristics – skunky, lemony, piney – th...
An introduction to the use of medical cannabis flowers and extracts as complementary agents to renewed sexual health.

An introduction to the use of medical cannabis flowers and extracts as complementary agents to renewed sexual health.
While the relationship between sex and cannabis could be developed via anecdotal evidence, the science is much harder to come by, most likely due to ongoing challenge for academics to study a plant prohibited by many countries.
There are some clear misunderstandings about the distinction between hemp and cannabis. The complicated answer is that there is no difference: both are members of the cannabis sativa family, sharing many identical characteristics and, conversely, dif...
If there is a condition that cannabis has been proven to help alleviate, it’s chronic pain. Several studies have demonstrated cannabis’s efficacy in turning the dial down on chronic pain, and Cannvas.me interviewed several experts in the field to lea...
