mice

A couple days ago I found one of my plants pretty much laying on its side and it looked as though the stalk had been nibbled. I took the plant out of the room because it already looked beyond the point of return. I got a couple mouse traps set them up thinking that would resolve the issue but...

Marijuana with relatively high levels of a compound called cannabidiol may be less risky to smoke over the long term, because this ingredient may counteract some of the drug's harmful effects, according to a new study in mice. The study found that adolescent mice injected with frequent doses...

A recent study found that the active ingredient in cannabis restores memory in older mice. But what – if anything – does that mean for us? The study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, was conducted by scientists in Germany. Over a period of one month, one group of mice of various...

Since the legalization movement began hitting full stride, new research discoveries about marijuana's potential health benefits have been surfacing with regularity. Among the most recent, a study shows that the psychoactive chemical in marijuana, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), restores cognitive...

The marijuana industry, and marijuana stocks for that matter, have been expanding by leaps and bounds over the past two decades. What was once a completely taboo industry has become a thriving source of legal growth, at least in some states. According to a Gallup poll from the mid-1990s, just...

Israeli researchers restore the memory performance of lab mice to a juvenile stage. Clinical trials on humans are next. As our brain ages, our cognitive abilities naturally decrease and it becomes more difficult to learn new things or devote attention to several things at the same time...

Picture the stereotypical pot smoker: young, dazed and confused. Marijuana has long been known for its psychoactive effects, which can include cognitive impairment. But new research published this week in Nature Medicine suggests the drug might affect older users very differently than young...

Researchers have found that a small, daily dose of cannabis could slow, or even reverse, cognitive decline in old age. THC, the chemical in cannabis that makes people feel 'high' has been found to improve memory and learning in older mice, as part of a new study investigating the ageing process...

Memory performance decreases with increasing age. Cannabis can reverse these ageing processes in the brain. This was shown in mice by scientists at the University of Bonn with their colleagues at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel). Old animals were able to regress to the state of...

Q: When you discussed chronic-pain management, you flubbed the polarized subject of marijuana use for pain. The proper strains of marijuana work well and are extremely cost-effective in pain management. Come to Colorado and talk to doctors who prescribe medical marijuana for patients; talk to...
