A recent study suggests that semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) may have the potential to reduce the risk of developing and relapsing into cannabis use disorder. This discovery offers a promising avenue for treatment, especially since no medications are currently approved for cannabis use disorder.

Don’t worry, you don’t want to smoke your home grown pot when we can sell you a high priced, commercially produced drugs instead.

A recent study suggests that semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) may have the potential to reduce the risk of developing and relapsing into cannabis use disorder. This discovery offers a promising avenue for treatment, especially since no medications are currently approved for cannabis use disorder.

A proposed experiment could bring scientists closer to answering the long-standing question of whether gravity is a classical or a quantum phenomenon. If gravity is intrinsically quantum, the mutual gravitational attraction between the two objects could cause them to become entangled.

Researchers have discovered that an essential nutrient called choline is transported into the brain by a protein called FLVCR2. These findings could inform the future design of drugs for diseases such as Alzheimer’s and stroke.

A new study found that young women who took a social media break for as little as one week had a significant boost in self-esteem and body image – particularly those most vulnerable to thin-ideal internalization.
