Promising results from the @Lambert_Usyd 4 week trial of topical CBD in hand osteoarthritis, in conjunction with @AvechoLtd and @NTFGroup. Pain, stiffness and anxiety reduced, grip strength increased. Great work from Zeeta Bawa et al #CBD #arthritis https://t.co/1uvaALmFTS

Exercise beats drugs! New study from @Lambert_Usyd led by @DuckyMcCartney with @irwin_cg and Griffith Uni pals. CBD (150 mg) no effect on enjoyment or pain during or after a 10 km run. Running itself is a great anxiolytic & mood enhancer. #CBD #exercise https://t.co/hkrQApMHY6

🗣️ "Roadside drug tests have limitations, the field sobriety tests also have limitations. What we're hoping to work towards is a better behavioural test using more tech [and] things like computerised cognitive tasks."
