In a recent article detailing the study on the neurological effects of THC, by an organization funded by the German government -- found that "long-term, low dose ∆9-THC had an anti-aging effect on the brain, restoring cognitive abilities.

New research published in August 2024, in the American Chemical Society -- Journal of Pharmacology and Science suggested that the results of this recent study demonstrates, a significant positive effect that ∆9-THC treatment against anti-aging in the brain. This is study is closely linked to similar Alzheimer research, where it was found that people who used cannabis for recreational and medical uses, reported less memory loss and confusion, in comparison to non-users.

...chronic cannabis users have higher cerebral blood flow and extract more oxygen from brain blood flow than nonusers. The rate at which oxygen is metabolized in the brain was found to be higher in users as well.

While THC is known to relax blood vessels and alter blood flow in the brain, the study focused on how prolonged THC use might affect the brain by analyzing the differences in regional brain blood oxygenation and metabolism in chronic cannabis users.

Due to the prospective nature of the study, published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology, researchers cannot say whether cannabis use directly causes the observed changes, or whether other underlying conditions also may be at play.

While the reason for the brain changes related to chronic marijuana use is unclear, Filbey said that these changes may reflect underlying differences in brain tissue metabolic rate.

Does using weed make you a nicer person? Results can vary.

Some people may turn to weed for anxiety, sleep and creativity. New research suggests it could also make you a nicer person. The findings, published in the Journal of Neuroscience Research, suggests there could be a connection between cannabis use and empathy. A study of 85 regular cannabis users and 51 nonusers asked participants to complete a test that measures empathy. Researchers also used…

This is huge. As of 8/30/2023, the Federal Department of Health and Human Services wants the DEA to reclassify from schedule 1 (no medical use, completely verboten) to schedule 3 (widely accepted medical use, some abuse potential, similar to Tylenol 3).

It won’t just allow doctors to prescribe it and reduce the penalties for having it if you’re not “supposed to”; it’ll also make it much easier for researchers to do studies with it, giving us health data that is currently lacking. For example, we don’t know much about how THC and CBD affect the liver or liver enzyme levels except in end stage liver disease patients, and what data we do have is decades old and of poor to middling quality.

The expansion of research a Schedule 3 reclassification would allow could pave the way for a safe, non-addictive pain medication based on cannabinoids that works primarily on the CB2 receptors and either doesn’t pass the blood-brain barrier or does cross it but doesn’t cause euphoria or sedation in most patients. In other words, the holy grail of pain medicine. Currently, the only painkiller that utilizes the endocannabinoid system is acetaminophen (Tylenol), which is a weak reuptake inhibitor of anandamide but primarily works via the prostaglandin system, and which is also highly hepatotoxic and somewhat nephrotoxic, and which probably wouldn’t be approved except as prescription fever and pain management, the latter primarily as an adjuvant to opiates, if it were a new drug being reviewed by the FDA today.

This is a really big example of how both parties are not the same. A Republican administration DHHS wouldn’t do this. If the No Fun Allowed Agency follows instructions, this opens up a lot of possibilities for a lot of people. It also completely bypasses the partisan legislatures and courts. Technically it’s easier for a future administration to overturn, but historically the DEA rarely reschedules medications without strong external pressure. (And in this case, it’s already functionally legal for those 21+ in most of the country anyway.)

Marijuana Users Have More Empathy And A Greater Understanding Of Other People's Emotions, Study Finds

Researchers said the results suggest a potential association between cannabis use and empathy, though they caution that further research is needed to fully understand the interactions “since many other factors may be at play.”

In attempting to explain the findings, the team of neuroscientists noted that a part of the brain, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), “is a region that is prone to the effects of cannabis consumption and is also greatly involved in empathy, which is a multi-component process that can be influenced in different ways.”

“Given that the ACC is one of the main areas that possess CB1 [cannabinoid] receptors and is heavily involved in the representation of the affective state of others,” the study says, “we believe that the differences shown by regular cannabis users in the emotional comprehension scores and their brain functional connectivity could be related to the use of cannabis.”

Despite the qualifiers, the study concludes, “Given previous studies of the effect of cannabis on mood and emotional detection, we believe that these results contribute to open a pathway to study further the clinical applications of the positive effect that cannabis or cannabis components could have in affect and social interactions.”

In other neuroscience research this year, researchers at the University of West Attica in Greece found that medical marijuana use was associated with improved quality of life — including better job performance, sleep, appetite, and energy — among people with neurological disorders.

Another recent study published by the American Medical Association found that medical marijuana was associated with “significant improvements” in quality of life for people with conditions like chronic pain and insomnia—and those effects were “largely sustained” over time.

Other studies have found cannabis may boost the “runner's high” felt during exercise and enhance the practice of yoga.
