    Every person is different and therefore the effects they feel after consuming cannabis are different too. For some, marijuana is a lovely getaway from reality; for others, it's nothing more than a source of side effects like paranoia, cognitive problems or an increased risk of developing schizophrenia.Until now, it wasn't clear as to which specific regions of the brain were responsible for these highly divergent effects of cannabis. However, a new study -- led by Steven Laviolette, Ph.D., Professor at Western's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry and Christopher Norris, a postdoctoral fellow -- reveals critical new insights into how marijuana can produce such highly diverse psychological effects in different individuals.The researchers wrote in their study that translational rodent research helped them identify specific target regions in the brain that 'apparently' independently control rewarding, addictive properties of marijuana versus the psychiatric side-effects associated with its consumption.What exactly did the study find?The researchers noted that THC -- the psychoactive chemical in marijuana -- produced highly rewarding effects in the front-most part of an area of the brain called the nucleus accumbens. Furthermore, it was seen, the cannabinoid amplified the addictive properties of opioid drugs such as morphine and "increased reward-related activity patterns in the neurons".On the other hand, THC in the posterior area of the nucleus accumbens region produced highly adverse effects which included schizophrenia-related emotional and cognitive symptoms, and patterns of neuron activity similar to those found in people suffering from this serious mental illness.The researchers concluded: "Since the reward and aversion are produced by anatomically distinct regions, the different effects experienced by individuals is likely because of genetic variation leading to differential sensitivity of each regions."Here's the link to the study published in the journal Scientific Reports

CBD Oil and Weight Loss: Things we know so far

CBD Oil and Weight Loss: Things we know so far

Cannabidiol (CBD) oil is perhaps one of the most popular products in the market today; and why shouldn’t it be if it can help patients suffering from chronic pain, anxiety, stress, epilepsy, etc?

CBD, the non-psychoactive chemical in cannabis, is being claimed to have a cure for many diseases/condition, though they haven’t yet been confirmed via conclusive studies.

The reason why CBD may work in aiding weight loss

CBD, one of the cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant, is known for acting on the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which regulates multiple important functions, including mood, sleep, and appetite.

The following studies may back the effect of CBD on weight-loss:

Study 1

A study conducted in 2012 tested the effects of three cannabinoids, namely CBD, CBG and CBN on the appetite of rats.

It was found that while CBN increased the appetite in rats, CBD and CBG both reduced it.

Study 2

Another piece of research carried out in 2016, on mice, concluded that CBD played a crucial role in the fat browning process, which is basically the conversion of white (bad) fat into brown (good) fat.

Heat-generating brown fat was only discovered in adults back in 2009 – until then, it was assumed to only be in babies.

During the research, experts observed that the colder the temperature, the more brown fat mice produced.

In humans, it has been seen that more brown fat leads to better insulin sensitivity, which means you are less likely to store belly fat.

Furthermore, a few studies, although vague, have suggested that CBD may also help treat metabolic issues that may lead to obesity.

Further Research Required

Not many human studies are available that could put an ‘approved stamp’ on the effectiveness of CBD at promoting weight loss. Whatever has been tested so far, has been performed on rats and mice. Thus, one can’t be 100% sure until more human-based research is available.
