No adverse events.
⬇️self-reported ratings of Jittery and Actrive at 50 mg
⬇️Calm at 100 mg
⬆️Appetite associated ith 200 mg of CBG.
Pharmacokinetics were dose-orderly
Overall CBG was well-tolerated

The CBG story continues. Here is the latest study from our group @jhucsl

Safety, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of oral cannabigerol in healthy adults. https://t.co/WjxtyRUmsG

Ever wonder about how cannabigerol (CBG) may affect focus? A new study examining high-dose oral CBG administration shows measurable deficits in sustained attention in rats. Learn more here:

2/2 He shaped my thinking about behavioral pharmacology and how to systematically study drug reinforcement, the discriminative stimulus effects of drugs and the impact of chronic drug use. He was far more than just the leader of the psychedelics renaissance.

Roland Griffiths was my post-doctoral Mentor. He led the field in pharmacology research on caffeine and "club drugs" long before he began his work on psilocybin. People forget his other contributions. This article finally highlights some of this work. https://t.co/6AOGZbW8MO

Check out our new article about preclinical models of cannabis use - we incorporate new data from vapor models & discuss strategies for building on and innovating animal models of CUD. Thanks to co-authors @EliseWeertsPhD, @MegHaneyPhD & @magbedillion! https://t.co/peT6PrQXrM

Our lab's very own Dr. Vandrey was featured on the CannMed Coffee Talk podcast this week! He discussed the National Cannabis Study, which is gathering new information about the health outcomes of medicinal cannabis from people who use it. Tune in below: https://t.co/8IwENFrBKK

[Margaret Haney is moving to bluesky @MegHaney @MegHaneyPhD]

Check out this new review from @magbedillion and our amazing collaborators at Johns Hopkins. Where are we in developing medications to treat CUD and what do we need to do to move the needle? Hint: Maybe listen a bit to patients, many of whom are not interested in abstinence.

@canna_brain Congrats - that is amazing. Great pictures too!

[Cassie Moore @CassieMoorePhD]

Amazing work by DBB's @BryanJenkinsPhD on summarizing the effects of prenatal cannabinoids on the brain and behavior! Online today - in NBBR @EliseWeertsPhD https://t.co/B4A2uVqzHw

@brainaddiction It is true.

One of my favorite aspects of science is getting to play in the sandbox with friends & colleagues and seeing the integration of different research streams come together. I am very privileged to have gotten to go on this scientific journey with @sjo09 @SLLesuis and @Franklandlab
