A 2023 study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences found that CBG demonstrated broad anti-inflammatory effects in rheumatoid arthritis cell models, including reductions in inflammatory cytokines linked to joint damage and pain.

Researchers concluded that CBG “might be used as add-on therapy in RA.”

Additional 2025 preclinical research investigating CBG in rheumatoid arthritis models reported suppression of inflammatory signalling pathways associated with disease progression.

The science around non-intoxicating cannabinoids like CBG continues to expand rapidly.

Not all cannabis buds are the same.

Clear, cloudy, and amber trichomes can completely change the experience, potency, and effect profile of a flower.

Understanding the anatomy of a cannabis bud helps patients and consumers make more informed decisions — from terpene content to harvest timing.

The details matter 🌱

Cannabis affects everyone differently, but UK research and clinical data continue to show benefits for some patients living with chronic pain, sleep disorders and appetite loss.

NHS guidance acknowledges there is evidence cannabis-based medicines may help certain types of pain, while findings from the UK Medical Cannabis Registry have also reported improvements in pain, sleep quality and overall wellbeing in some patients prescribed cannabinoid medicines.

Like any medication, cannabis isn’t risk-free and may not be suitable for everyone — but the evidence base and patient demand continue to grow. 🌱

Cannabis can help some people feel less stressed, less reactive and a little less overwhelmed by life.

Research suggests cannabinoids like THC and CBD may influence mood, stress response and emotional processing through the body’s endocannabinoid system.

Of course, balance matters — and cannabis affects everyone differently — but for many people, that “I care a little less” feeling is exactly what helps them switch off, decompress and reset.

Sometimes the joke lands because there’s truth in it 🌿

Cannabis and fibromyalgia 👀

A new systematic review analysing 12 studies involving more than 1,200 fibromyalgia patients found cannabinoid treatment was associated with significant reductions in pain, alongside improvements in sleep, anxiety, depression and quality of life.

Researchers also reported that treatment was generally well tolerated, with mostly mild side effects such as dizziness, fatigue and dry mouth.

Fibromyalgia remains difficult to treat, with many patients continuing to experience chronic pain, fatigue and sleep disruption despite conventional therapies.

Importantly, researchers noted the overall quality of evidence is still considered low-to-moderate, meaning larger placebo-controlled clinical trials are still needed.
But findings like these continue to add to growing evidence supporting the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids in chronic pain conditions.

For decades, cannabis was framed as a dangerous “gateway drug” while addictive pharmaceuticals were normalised and heavily prescribed.

Many older generations didn’t form their opinions about cannabis naturally — they were raised during some of the most aggressive anti-cannabis propaganda campaigns in history. Fear-based messaging linked cannabis to crime, laziness and social collapse rather than science or medicine.

At the same time, society moved further away from traditional plant-based remedies and deeper into pharmaceutical dependence.

This doesn’t mean modern medicine is bad — it saves lives every day. But it does highlight the contradiction in how different substances are judged.

Cannabis isn’t for everyone, however, medical cannabis is now legally prescribed in many countries for conditions like chronic pain, epilepsy and chemotherapy-related nausea.

A lot of the stigma surrounding cannabis was taught, repeated and reinforced for generations.

Sometimes people aren’t reacting to cannabis itself — they’re reacting to decades of fear attached to it.

Education creates understanding. Compassion changes conversations.

THC Dragon Balls sound like science fiction… but they’re real.

Originally created by Seattle-based extraction company X-tracted Labs, these giant amber spheres contain ultra-refined cannabis distillate known as “The Clear” — a highly purified extract reported to reach THC levels approaching 99%.

Some of the most famous Dragon Balls reportedly weighed around 3,000 grams — making them some of the largest and most visually striking cannabis concentrate creations ever documented online.

Unlike traditional oils or waxes, “The Clear” is a distilled concentrate designed to isolate cannabinoids before selected terpenes are reintroduced to influence flavour, aroma, and overall experience.

While the exact production process remains closely guarded, Dragon Balls became legendary within cannabis extraction culture for their purity, craftsmanship, and almost surreal appearance.

There is limited public evidence that full-sized Dragon Balls are still produced today, though X-tracted Labs and “The Clear” distillate products remain associated with the concept online.

A neuroscientist became his own test subject in a remarkable brain-imaging study exploring how ps!locyb!n affects human brain connectivity.

Dr. Nico Dosenbach, a neurologist at Washington University School of Medicine, took a high dose of ps!locyb!n while researchers scanned his brain activity in real time using advanced neuroimaging techniques.

The results showed that brain networks which normally operate separately became significantly more interconnected and flexible during the experience. Researchers observed widespread changes in communication between different regions of the brain, particularly within systems linked to self-awareness, perception, memory, and cognition.

Scientists believe these temporary shifts in large-scale brain organization may help explain why some participants in controlled clinical settings report lasting changes in mood, perspective, and thinking patterns following ps!locyb!n experiences.

The study adds to growing scientific interest in how psyc.delic compounds may influence consciousness, neural flexibility, and mental health research under carefully controlled conditions.

Adults over 60 are now one of the fastest-growing groups exploring cannabis products — and many are turning to edibles for pain, sleep and overall quality of life.

A new peer-reviewed study published in JAMA Network Open interviewed 169 older adults before their first cannabis purchase.
Researchers found:
 • 57.5% chose THC + CBD combination products • Many were looking for alternatives to pharmaceuticals • Sleep, pain and mental health support were the main motivations • Most participants weren’t looking to “get high” — they simply wanted to feel better

One researcher summarised it best:
 “They really wanted better quality of life.”
Interestingly, many participants described THC + CBD combinations as a “Goldilocks option” — offering a balance between symptom relief and fewer unwanted psychoactive effects.

Researchers also noted that older adults often rely on word-of-mouth recommendations due to limited guidance from healthcare providers.

The science around cannabis and ageing is still evolving, but studies like this show just how rapidly attitudes are changing.

We complain about the heat… while cutting down the things that cool the planet 🌍🔥

Forests regulate temperature, absorb carbon, protect biodiversity and help produce the air we breathe. Yet the world continues losing millions of hectares of forest every year through deforestation, wildfires and land clearing.

The uncomfortable truth is: humans are one of the only species capable of knowingly damaging the systems that keep us alive — and then acting surprised by the consequences.

Hotter summers. More fires. Worse floods. Less nature. Less balance.

The planet will survive. The question is whether we make it survivable for ourselves.

You’ll probably never see a road sign quite like this outside the Netherlands 🇳🇱🍃

A country famous for its cannabis culture… using official street signs to regulate where it can and can’t be smoked.

The sign shows a cannabis joint inside a Dutch prohibition road sign, meaning public cannabis smoking is banned in that specific area. The text below — “Art. 27B A.P.V.” — references local municipal laws used to enforce the restriction.

There’s no other city quite like Amsterdam🍃💨
