So when it’s time for bed, "I can't turn off my brain,'' she says. Now she does, with the help of a new bedtime ritual -- a ''snack" of two gummy bears containing CBD. CBD, or cannabidiol, is a substance from marijuana that lacks the ''high'' of the THC (tetrahydro-cannabinol) also found in marijuana. The remedy is affordable for her -- about $35 [...]

Le Cannabis comme anti-émétique : Les prescriptions médicales, chez les adultes (THC naturel ou synthétique - Nabilone) comme chez les enfants (delta 8-THC, Abrahamov et al, 1995), ont débutées dès 1975. L’efficacité a été prouvée dans de nombreux essais cliniques, et de nombreuses méta-analyses (8/9 pour le cannabis et 3/3 pour le Nabilone, Penta et al, 1981). Par contre les effets psychotropiques peuvent être mal supportés par de nombreux patients, et justifie l’arrêt, ou la diminution des doses. Les associations variables THC/CBD présente un intérêt probable. Aucun effet indésirable persistant ou fatal [...]

Doi : 10.1002/cpt.108 Cannabis has been used inmedicine for thousands of years prior to achieving its current illicit substance status. Cannabinoids, the active components of Cannabis sativa,mimic the effects of the endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids), activating specific cannabinoid receptors, particularly CB1 found predominantly in the central nervous system and CB2 found predominantly in cells involved with immune function. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, themain bioactive cannabinoid in the plant, has been available as a prescriptionmedication approved for treatment of cancer chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and anorexia associated with the AIDS wasting syndrome.

Doi : 10.1111/j.1476-5381.2010.01176.x Abstract Considerable evidence demonstrates that manipulation of the endocannabinoid system regulates nausea and vomiting in humans and other animals. The anti-emetic effect of cannabinoids has been shown across a wide variety of animals that are capable of vomiting in response to a toxic challenge. CB1 agonism suppresses vomiting, which is reversed by CB1 antagonism, and CB1 inverse agonism promotes vomiting. Recently, evidence from animal experiments suggests that cannabinoids may be especially useful in treating the more difficult to control [...]

Parker European Journal of Pharmacology, 2014 January 5; 722. doi : 10.1016/j.ejphar.2013.09.068. Abstract Nausea and vomiting (emesis) are important elements in defensive or protective responses that animals use to avoid ingestion or digestion of potentially harmful substances. However, these neurally-mediated responses are at times manifested as symptoms of disease and they are frequently observed as side-effects of a variety of medications, notably those used to treat cancer. Cannabis has long been known to limit or prevent nausea and vomiting from a variety of causes.This has [...]

As additional jurisdictions legalize Cannabis products and the variety and complexity of these products surpass the classical dried plant material, appropriate methods for measuring the biologically active constituents is paramount to ensure [...]
