Mainlining has a reputation in grower circles, but what’s actually happening inside the plant when cultivators reshape Cannabis sativa this way? A new review breaks down the biology behind this high-stress training method, tracing how topping disrupts apical dominance, how hormones like auxin and sugar signals reroute growth, and how vascular remodeling helps the plant recover and rebuild. ⁠
⁠
The result is a clearer look at why mainlining creates symmetrical colas, stronger structure, and a more efficient canopy without relying on guesswork 🌱⁠

How do fungi change the chemistry of cannabis? A new greenhouse study found that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) boosted drought resilience in Cannabis sativa, increasing phenolics, flavonoids, antioxidant activity, and even shifting cannabinoid pathways. AMF-treated plants showed higher THC and CBD levels and stronger stress tolerance, suggesting these symbiotic fungi may play a bigger role in cannabis cultivation than expected 🍃

Cannabis intoxication affects people in very different ways, and a new metabolomics study shows just how deep those differences may run. Researchers compared blood samples from occasional and chronic cannabis users before and after THC exposure and uncovered shifts in energy pathways, lipids, and endocannabinoid-related metabolites that could help distinguish simple cannabis use from actual impairment. ⁠
⁠
It’s early science, but it points toward a future where impairment might be measurable at the molecular level rather than guessed from blood THC alone 🔬⁠

Could CBD influence the biology of prostate cancer at the molecular level? A new preclinical study found that CBD reduced cancer cell viability, shifted gene expression tied to cell-cycle regulation, and altered certain DNA methylation patterns in prostate cancer cell lines.

Researchers say these epigenetic and transcriptomic changes point to potential therapeutic pathways worth exploring in future studies, especially alongside targeted treatments like PARP and EZH2 inhibitors 🔬

What do video games and cannabis really have to do with each other? A new scoping review dug through 25 years of research to see whether these two behaviors overlap, influence one another, or simply move in parallel.⁠
⁠
The findings were anything but uniform, and the patterns spanning teens, young adults, and adult gamers point to a relationship that’s more nuanced than pop culture suggests 🎮⁠

Adults living with neuropathic pain may be turning to cannabis more often than those with other chronic pain conditions. A new clinic-based study found that patients with neuropathic pain used THC, CBD, and combination products more frequently and reported higher pain intensity overall. Researchers say this pattern highlights how complex pain management can be, and why cannabis use often differs depending on the type of pain someone is navigating 😓

What gives cannabis its signature aroma, and why do strains with similar chemistry sometimes smell completely different? A new sensory study built a full aroma lexicon for Cannabis sativa and found that scent depends on far more than terpene percentages alone. ⁠
⁠
The patterns researchers uncovered reveal a surprisingly complex world of fruity, skunky, herbal, citrus, and savory notes that don’t always behave the way growers and consumers expect 🍃⁠

Cannabis use is rising among adults 50 and older, and a new national study found that about 1 in 5 who use cannabis reported driving within two hours of consuming it.

Daily use and mental health motives were key patterns, underscoring the need for safety conversations tailored to aging adults 🚗

Researchers at the University of Arizona have found that cannabis terpenes, the compounds responsible for the plant’s aroma, may also help relieve fibromyalgia pain in a way similar to traditional pain medications. Early studies suggest that these natural compounds could offer a promising new treatment option, especially for those seeking alternatives to opioids. While more research is needed, these findings add to growing interest in how different components of cannabis may work together to support pain relief.

A recently completed study found that certain terpenes in Cannabis sativa are effective at relieving post-surgical and fibromyalgia pain in preclinical models.
