Cannabis users showed LESS brain aging/decline!

Scientists created a new “supercharged” cisplatin prodrug by attaching CBD! The standout compound, W5, combines cisplatin with both CBD and DCA (a drug that blocks cancer cell energy production). It killed both regular cancer cells and cisplatin-resistant cells effectively. Cisplatin damages the cancer cell’s DNA and stops it from being repaired. CBD triggers cell suicide (apoptosis) by messing up the mitochondria (cell’s power plants). W5 also lowers the cell’s ability to handle oxidative stress sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Chest pain from recurrent pericarditis dropped from 6/10 to 2/10 in just days with pharma CBD! After 8 weeks: Average pain dropped to 2.1 out of 10. Many patients felt much better quickly — the median time to reach mild pain (2 or less) was just 5 days. Of the 10 patients who had high inflammation levels (CRP) at the start, 80% had normal levels by week 8. During the longer optional period, 71% of patients (17 out of 24) had no recurrence of pericarditis even after stopping other drugs. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JA…

Neurotech’s NTI164 is meaningfully different. It’s a full-spectrum/low-THC extract from one specific cannabis chemovar (strain), standardized as a botanical drug. Major component is CBDA (cannabidiolic acid), plus minor cannabinoids including CBD, CBG, CBC, CBN, CBDP, etc. — not a near-pure single molecule like Epidiolex. They’re going after the entourage effect / multi-cannabinoid anti-neuroinflammatory approach rather than isolating one compound.

@marclanders is this another Epidiolex hijack?

Neurotech shares soar 30% on US cannabis trial breakthrough! Neurotech (ASX: NTI) shares soared over 30% after receiving Investigational New Drug (IND) status from the US FDA for its medicinal cannabis program targeting childhood autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ND approval establishes a formal US clinical pathway for potential future FDA registration and allows US trials aligned with FDA standards. Prior Phase II/III trial showed statistically significant benefits on validated measures with excellent safety. dailytelegraph.com.au/business/stock…

CBD powerfully fights MRSA, Pseudomonas, Candida, SARS-CoV-2, HIV, and even parasites! Cannabinoids, particularly CBD, show strong ability to kill or stop many harmful germs. They work well against:Gram-positive bacteria – such as MRSA (the dangerous, drug-resistant staph infection). Gram-negative bacteria – such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa (a tough hospital bug). Fungi – including various Candida species (common yeast infections). Viruses – including SARS-CoV-2 (the COVID-19 virus) and HIV. Parasites – such as Echinococcus granulosus (a tapeworm) and Leishmania (the parasite that causes skin ulcers). mdpi.com/2673-9879/4/3/…

Cannabis vs Brain-Eating Parasites? New study finds Cannabis sativa & cannabinoids actually kill deadly parasites! Parasites they tested againstBrain infections (protozoan parasites): amoebic brain disease, cerebral malaria, brain toxoplasmosis, Chagas disease, and leishmaniasis. Worm infections (helminths): mainly Nippostrongylus and schistosomiasis. Even ticks (Boophilus). Main finding Cannabis extracts and cannabinoids often kill or slow down these parasites – this effect is fairly consistent across studies. Important caution The body’s own cannabinoid system (CB1/CB2 receptors) is involved. Blocking or activating these receptors sometimes helped the animal fight the infection, but in other cases it made the infection worse or reduced survival. The outcome depends on the specific parasite. biomedres.us/fulltexts/BJST…

Studies coming today! Cannabis vs Brain-Eating Parasites? CBD powerfully fights MRSA, Pseudomonas, Candida, SARS-CoV-2, HIV, and even parasites! Chest pain from recurrent pericarditis dropped from 6/10 to 2/10 in just days with pharma CBD! And more!

@DescheduleEarth Yep! Like I said, the dominoes keep falling! More and faster please! 😎

@marclanders That's awesome to hear! It feels like we're seeing more and more places recognize the benefits and move forward. Every step like this helps build momentum.

"Nepal Province Unanimously Approves Medical Cannabis Measure"! The dominoes continue to fall. 😎 Nepal's Gandaki Province Assembly unanimously passed a bill legalizing cannabis cultivation for medical and industrial uses. Cannabis has been illegal nationwide since 1976, with possession, use, and trafficking carrying penalties including incarceration. Traditional use occurs during festivals like Shivaratri despite the ban. Gandaki is one of Nepal’s seven federal provinces. internationalcbc.com/nepal-province…

Breaking: Medical cannabis slashes agitation in advanced dementia patients! This, from the New York Times no less! Tell me again how cannabis has no medical value. Study overview: Preliminary results from a Phase 2 clinical trial (LiBBY) involving 120 patients with advanced dementia (many near end-of-life/hospice-eligible) tested a combination of THC and CBD for treating agitation. Results: After 12 weeks, agitation eased in nearly 90% of participants receiving the THC/CBD treatment, compared to less than 25% in the placebo group. nytimes.com/2026/07/14/wel…

@eronimania @grok That may be true for some but let's not hope all and throw the baby out with the bath water. 😎

@marclanders @grok In the post-pandemic era of 2026, public trust in these institutional establishments has severely eroded, with many viewing them as corrupt.

Data on 35,000+ adults: the more cannabis you’ve used in life, the bigger your hippocampus and the better your brain works after 40! People who had ever used cannabis tended to have larger brain volume in key areas that are full of natural cannabis-like receptors (especially the hippocampus, amygdala, caudate, and putamen – these areas are important for memory, emotions, learning, and movement). The more cannabis someone had used in their lifetime, the larger these brain areas were and the better they performed on tests of learning, processing speed, and short-term memory. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41379083/

@ClarkeBitter @BurningStoic We've published lots of studies on the efficacy of cannabis for treating Alzhiemer's and other brain disorders and diseases. 😎

@BurningStoic @marclanders Microdosing of cannabinoids (as many different ones as possible) has reversed memory loss in Alzheimer's patients.

@Kevin_McKernan Thanks for reposting and your support! 😎

CBD has pretty good bioavailability to the BBB but these seem to improve it. Note- These are not cationic lipids. DSPC is a very different targeting LNP. No ALC-0315 or SM-102. Cytotox in cell lines and Rats.

In case you missed this yesterday.

Cannabis Users Show Less Cognitive Decline with Age! What did they find? Men who used cannabis had less decline in their thinking skills from their 20s to their 60s compared to men who never used cannabis. Among cannabis users, starting to use cannabis at a younger age or using it often didn’t lead to worse declines in thinking skills. What’s the takeaway? In this group of men, cannabis use didn’t seem to harm their thinking skills as they aged over about 44 years. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39508467/

@JylFerris Obviously! You’re following me after all. 😎

@marclanders I must be a genius now!

For those that may have missed this yesterday. It blew up with over 34,000 views! 😎

Cannabidiol (CBD) from cannabis triggers multiple cell death pathways to wipe out colorectal cancer cells! How CBD kills cancer cells: Apoptosis (programmed cell death): CBD triggers a natural process where cancer cells self-destruct. Paraptosis (another type of cell death): CBD causes stress in a part of the cell called the endoplasmic reticulum and increases harmful molecules (reactive oxygen species), leading to cell death. Autophagy (cell cleanup process): CBD boosts a process where cells break down and recycle their own parts, which can lead to cancer cell death. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38358093/

CBD Powder Could Revolutionize Asthma Treatment – Up to 62% Lung Delivery Achieved! The CBD powder was effective at reducing inflammation caused by a substance called lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which mimics lung disease inflammation. The study successfully created an inhalable CBD powder with INU and LEC. This powder is stable, delivers CBD effectively to the lungs, and reduces inflammation. It could be a promising treatment for lung diseases like asthma or COPD in the future. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40578460/
