Cannabis science, studies & research
Some people (especially underinformed politicians) are still parroting the old line that "there hasn't been any research done on cannabis" - that's not true! Since 1996 the published peer-reviewed biomedical literature (as listed in the US National Library of Medicine’s Pubmed indexing service) has seen 10,300+ papers published mentioning cannabis, 16,700+ papers on cannabinoids, and 7,500+ papers on the human endocannabinoid system. While it’s possible some of these might be overlaps, even if you count just the “cannabis” papers, that’s at least one paper published each day for the past 20+ years. There’s already been a llllot of research on cannabis!
Some of our favorite landmark, oft-cited, or otherwise interesting cannabis studies, papers & resarch:
- Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency - The Russo Paper (Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency CECD: Can this Concept Explain Therapeutic Benefits of Cannabis in Migraine, Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other Treatment-Resistant Conditions? Originally published in
Neuroendocrinol Lett 2004; 25 (1/2):3 1–39)
- Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency Revisited - 10 years later, looks like Russo's right! (Clinical endocannabinoid deficiency (CECD) revisited: Can this concept explain the therapeutic benefits of cannabis in migraine, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome and other treatment-resistant conditions? Originally published in Neuroendocrinol Lett 2014; 35 (3):198–201)
