Study Finds Cannabis Stimulates Brain Growth


Marijuana brain growth

OFF THE WIRE
By TheJointBlog.Com
new study published in this month’s issue of the International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology has found that cannabidiol (CBD) - one of the primary compounds of cannabis – can actually help your brain grow.
During the study researchers examined the effect of CBD on the hippocampus part of the brain;. the hippocampus is a portion of the brain which plays a key role in regulating emotion and memory – it’s the only part of the brain that can grow after someone is an adult.
According to researchers, this study (and those like it) opens the door for cannabidiol being used to “manage psychiatric symptoms in disorders such as ageing, stress and neuroinflammation.”
This study is one of the most comprehensive of its type, and confirms a past study from 2019 that found similar results (which can be found in its entirety by clicking here).
