A new study published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology suggests that CBD — a cannabinoid found in marijuana — improves memory and may have the potential to treat conditions such as Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, and PTSD. The 2020 study found that CBD increased blood flow to the hippocampus , the region of the brain responsible for memory. In doing so, it enhances our ability to form, process, and recall memories (also known as memory processing ).

The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.

Terpenes are a powerful, potent part of the cannabis plant that gives the plant its unique taste, smell, and effects. Terpene profiles help to determine what cannabis will taste like. For example, if you have ever smoked a strain of cannabis that made you feel like you were just hit in the nose, you might have got a hold of a strain rich in beta-caryophyllene.

There are 5 very good reasons as to why this is: The cannabis plant contains up to 150 cannabinoids, 220 terpenes/terpenoids and 20 flavonoids, all of which have different effects when used on their own or combined with each other. This makes cannabis a very versatile medication, but also difficult to figure out.
