. . . in mice.

mice are routinely used as test subjects for drugs and their effects.

stratos stratos:

mice are routinely used as test subjects for drugs and their effects.

And that rarely translates to Human health, as we are quite different creatures. Drug testing on mice pretty rarely results in the same drug being used in Humans.

This is a very valid concern, and I have to thank Khokhar and team for their work.

Hopefully they get the green light to continue this research as it covers a couple new areas that we should research.

Cannabis - natural. Now that it is legal, let's get the Dr's all over it, testing wise.
Cannabis - concentrated. Pre-legalization, many on this very site brought up fears about what may happen when the "substantially more powerful variants" hit the market. This is it, and should be researched. These concentrates are going to be 3-4 times as powerful as any flower variant.
Vaping - Research, especially into the carriers and additives should never be discouraged...imho.

As always, if you use within reason (same as booze), you will be fine, but let's be real...ass hats were rolling coal with their nicotine vapes within days of it become knowledge....same thing will happen with marijuana vapes. It would be nice if our medical systems is somewhat prepared for that eventuality.

The study was on rats. Hard to say how significant it is for human health.

Some people don't need THC to dampen their brain activity...



...you know who you are.
