Cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 are the definitive and best-known targets of endogenous and plant-derived cannabinoids, but they’re far from the only ones. Several phytocannabinoids, including cannabidiol (CBD), for example, and the two primary endocannabinoids — anandamide and 2-AG — have been shown to interact with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, or PPARs 1 (pronounced pee-parrs ), which are found on the surface of the cell’s nucleus.

Did Florida just legalize cannabis? Over the last month, the Florida hemp industry has been lobbying against a proposal to regulate hemp products heavily. Since the 2018 Farm Bill re-legalized hemp across the United States, Florida’s hemp entrepreneurs have created thousands of jobs. According to the Farm Bill, hemp becomes illegal cannabis when it contains more than 0.3 percent THC.

The body of scientific evidence supporting the use of psychedelics in the treatment of PTSD, addiction, major depressive disorder, and various other mental health disorders continues to grow. However, despite the mounting data supporting their efficacy, the precise mechanism of action for psychedelics remains a mystery. Fortunately, new scientific research by UC Davis suggests much more is at play than a mere shift in perception.

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.
