France lifts ban on flowers as framework for CBD advances

France’s Council of State has formally lifted a ban on the sale of hemp flowers used to produce CBD and other cannabinoids, finalizing the overrule of a 2021 government decision.

The Council, which advises the government on legislation and serves as the supreme court on matters of administrative justice, ruled that the ban on the marketing of plant tops was “disproportionate” because the sale of CBD in leaf and flower form does not pose a risk to public health.

The decision is one in a string of developments down the road to making CBD legal in France, sure to develop into one of Europe’s biggest markets within the next few years.

Autophagy: An Emerging Target for Developing Effective Analgesics March 20, 2023
Inadequate treatment of acute and chronic pain causes depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and increased mortality. Abuse and overdose of opioids and the side effects associated with chronic use of NSAID illustrate the need for development of safer and effective pain medication. Working toward this end, an in silico tool based on an emergent intelligence analytical […]

Expression of cannabinoid (CB1 and CB2) and cannabinoid-related receptors (TRPV1, GPR55, and PPARα) in the synovial membrane of the horse metacarpophalangeal joint March 20, 2023
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Given the expression of the CB1R, CB2R, TRPV1, GPR55, and PPARα in the synovial elements of the metacarpophalangeal joint, these findings encouraged the development of new studies supporting the use of molecules acting on these receptors to reduce the inflammation during joint inflammation in the horse.

Efficient Syntheses of KLS-13019 Using Palladium Mediated Cross Couplings March 20, 2023
KLS-13019 is a structural analogue of cannabidiol, that shows improved bioavailability and potency in both preventing and reversing paclitaxel-induced neurotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. KLS-13019 was selected as a development candidate and attention was turned to development of a scalable synthesis. The original synthesis of KLS-13019 was not efficient, regioselective, or high yielding. Two […]

High-CBD Cannabis Vapor Attenuates Opioid Reward and Partially Modulates Nociception in Female Rats March 20, 2023
Chronic pain patients report analgesic effects when using cannabidiol (CBD), a phytocannabinoid found in whole-plant cannabis extract (WPE). Several studies suggest that cannabis-derived products may serve as an analgesic adjunct or alternative to opioids, and importantly, CBD may also attenuate the abuse potential of opioids. Vaping is a popular route of administration among people who […]

Medical cannabis identity and public health paternalism March 20, 2023
CONCLUSIONS: The designation of medical vs. nonmedical use of cannabis varies from state to state, which is not the case for other medicine. This highly variable designation may be paternalistic in nature as governments attempt to differentiate between "legitimate" and "illegitimate" use in the context of federal cannabis prohibition. As a result, lines between medical […]

Cannabidiol enhances cerebral glucose utilization and ameliorates psychopathology and cognition: A case report in a clinically high-risk mental state March 20, 2023
Adolescent individuals often present with subtle, sub-threshold psychiatric syndromes that fluctuate or persist for years. These symptoms have been classified as Clinically High-Risk mental states (CHR), negatively affecting these individuals' psychosocial development and integration by reducing performance and affecting interpersonal relations. The pathophysiological underpinnings have not been studied in detail, contributing to the current lack […]

Cannabis Use Does Not Affect Outcomes After Total Hip Arthroplasty March 20, 2023
CONCLUSION: Self-reported cannabis use does not influence one-year outcomes after THA. Further studies are warranted to determine the efficacy and safety of perioperative cannabis use after THA to help guide orthopaedic surgeons in counseling patients.

An exploratory follow-up study of cannabis use and decision-making under various risk conditions within adolescence March 20, 2023
CONCLUSIONS: DM under explicit risk may be a more salient risk factor for escalating CU and CU-related problems than DM under ambiguous risk. Deficits in executive functioning could partially explain the results. Findings suggest that neurocognitive development should inform prevention and intervention efforts focused on reducing CU. Given the exploratory nature of the present study, […]

Associations of cannabis use with motor vehicle crashes and traffic stops among older drivers: AAA LongROAD study March 20, 2023
CONCLUSIONS: Past-year cannabis use was associated with increased traffic stops, which are correlated modestly with increased MVC in past studies and may indicate impaired driving performance. We did not find a statistically significant association of past-year cannabis use with MVC, which may indicate limited sustained effects on driving performance from periodic use among older adults, […]

Consuming oral cannabidiol prior to a standard alcohol dose has minimal effect on breath alcohol level and subjective effects of alcohol March 20, 2023
CONCLUSIONS: CBD has minimal influence on BrAC and subjective effects of alcohol. Further research is needed to test whether CBD impacts alcohol consumption in humans, and if so, what mechanism(s) may explain this effect.

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia to reduce cannabis use: Results from a pilot randomized controlled trial March 20, 2023
CONCLUSIONS: CBTi-CB-TM is feasible, acceptable, and demonstrated preliminary efficacy for improving sleep and cannabis-related outcomes among non-treatment-seeking individuals with regular cannabis use for sleep. Although sample characteristics limit generalizability, these findings support the need for adequately powered randomized controlled trials with longer follow-up periods.

Cannabinoids in traumatic brain injury and related neuropathologies: preclinical and clinical research on endogenous, plant-derived, and synthetic compounds March 20, 2023
Traumatic brain injury is common, and often results in debilitating consequences. Even mild traumatic brain injury leaves approximately 20% of patients with symptoms that persist for months. Despite great clinical need there are currently no approved pharmaceutical interventions that improve outcomes after traumatic brain injury. Increased understanding of the endocannabinoid system in health and disease […]

Circular RNA regulation and function in drug seeking phenotypes March 19, 2023
Drug overdoses have increased dramatically in the United States over the last decade where they are now the leading cause of accidental death. To develop efficient therapeutic options for decreasing drug consumption and overdose risk, it is critical to understand the neurobiological changes induced by drug exposure. Chronic systemic exposure to all drug classes, including […]

Cannabis use among patients presenting to the emergency department for psychosis: Associations with restraint use, medication administration, psychiatric hospitalization, and repeat visits March 19, 2023
Cannabis use is associated with increased severity of psychotic symptoms and the risk of acute agitation and aggressive behavior in inpatient (IP) and outpatient settings. Whether or not cannabis use is associated with increased acuity of psychosis-related ED presentations and risk of repeat ED visits for psychosis is unclear. In this retrospective study of 2,134 […]

Long-term effects of THC exposure on reward learning and motivated behavior in adolescent and adult male rats March 18, 2023
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings reveal that exposure to a translationally relevant THC exposure regimen induces long-lasting, age-dependent alterations in cognitive and motivational processes that regulate the pursuit of rewards.

The impact of sexual scripts in brand-generated cannabis social media posts on sex-related cannabis expectancies: Does body appreciation moderate effects? March 18, 2023
INTRODUCTION: Cannabis messaging on digital media may include sexualised portrayals. We examined whether exposure to and perceptions of cannabis posts that included sexual objectification impacted two types of sex-related cannabis expectancies-sexual risk and sexual enhancement-and whether body appreciation moderated these relationships.
