Cannabis for obsessive-compulsive disorder: OCD, CBD & serotonin
in Cannabis, News/by StephanMost importantly, the ECS regulates extinction learning and habitualization – precisely the processes that are dysfunctional in OCD. CB1 in the orbitofrontal cortex and striatum inhibits the hyperactive CSTC circuit typical of OCD. At a glance: CB1 in the orbitofrontal cortex and striatum inhibits the OCD-typical hyperactive CSTC circuit Kayser 2021: Nabilone (synthetic THC) significantly […]
Cannabis for high blood pressure: CBD lowers, THC increases briefly
in Cannabis, News/by StephanThe most important thing: CBD lowers blood pressure, THC increases it in the short term. Jadoon 2017 (RCT, n=9): Single CBD dose 600 mg lowered systolic blood pressure at rest by -6 mmHg. Over 30 million Germans have hypertension. At a glance: CBD lowers blood pressure: -6 mmHg systolic at rest (Jadoon 2017, RCT) and […]
CBD for dogs & cats: Effect, dose & safety
in Cannabis, News/by StephanThe most important thing: all mammals have an ECS. But dogs are hypersensitive to THC: significantly more CB1 receptors in the cerebellum than humans, slower metabolization. Even small amounts of THC can lead to severe intoxication. At a glance: Dogs have significantly more CB1 receptors in the cerebellum than humans – THC is toxic to […]
Cannabis Social Club: Become a member – application & costs
in Cannabis, News/by StephanThe most important thing: Cannabis social clubs (cultivation associations) have been legal in Germany since July 1, 2024.

At a glance: CB1 receptor density decreases with age – older people react more strongly to cannabinoids Over […]
Cannabis for burnout: HPA axis, cortisol & ECS
in Cannabis, News/by StephanThe most important thing: Chronic stress downregulates CB1 receptors in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus – directly measurable in burnout pathophysiology. CBD modulates the HPA axis and can lower basal cortisol levels. At a glance: Chronic stress → CB1 downregulation in the prefrontal cortex – measurable ECS deficit in burnout CBD modulates HPA axis and […]
