The National Cancer Institute and Cannabis and Cannabinoids Research​


The landscape of both recreational and medicinal cannabis use has changed dramatically over the past decade; however, research examining the risks and benefits of cannabis and cannabinoid use has lagged significantly behind the increased media promotion and their use by the general public and cancer patients. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has supported cannabis-related research projects and funding opportunity announcements. In addition, NCI organized a virtual symposium on December 15-18, 2020, to discuss recent research findings on the use of cannabis and cannabinoids in relationship to cancer risk, prevention, and care. Specifically, the symposium sought to highlight the state of the science regarding cannabis, including the chemical constituents of cannabis (eg, cannabinoids), and cancer research involving cannabis, including cancer epidemiology, use in cancer patients, cancer biology and prevention, and preclinical and clinical cancer symptom and treatment side effect management with cannabis and cannabinoids as therapeutics. The symposium identified promising areas of future study, current barriers to conducting the research, and strategies to overcome those barriers. The series of papers in this special edition provide a summary of the symposium sessions as well as a synopsis of opportunities and challenges related to conducting research in this area.

Pub Med is an AMAZING source of information. We cite to it constantly for our terpene pages. Right now terpenes have the most studies done to share but we look forward to more and more new studies on pubmed about cannabinoids. Obviously CBD-A and CBG-A were a flash in the pan recently for attaching to the spike protein of COVID (we jumped on the bandwagon and created a view that specifically allows users to search for strains and sort by CBD-A and CBG-A levels) but I have recently heard that CBD (without the acid) has now been shown to possibly stop the COVID RNA? Anyway, love all of this great work and the fact that we have access to it and can share with our visitors. Great work!

Journal of Cannabis Research also provides research-driven information and covers all topics pertaining to cannabis. Their latest submission talks about influence on purchase choice for cannabis products. I haven't read up on it yet but it sounds interesting. For terpenes-related blog, I usually read up on The Medical Terpenes because the articles are very informative and easy to understand.

Just ran into this video that introduce this research: Minor, Nonterpenoid Volatile Compounds Drive the Aroma Differences of Exotic Cannabis . I wonder how these compounds affects tastes :science:

Save the aromatic compounds ;)! while watching a show about said paper, the author mentioned (link with time stamp) that they compared two humidity control boxes, with the same strain (gelato), one with ~55% and one with ~60% and noticed reduction in quality at the ~60%. It's not conclusive at all, just an observation, but still really cool thing he caught happening.
