  • THC Blocks Pathway Lung Cancer Uses to Grow and Spread

    THC has been studied for its effects on lung cancer.

    Researchers found that THC blocked lung cancer cell migration and invasion in lab dishes.

    In animals, THC reduced tumor growth and the spread of cancer.

    Study: Delta9-Tetrahydrocannabinol inhibits epithelial growth factor-induced lung cancer cell migration in vitro as well as its growth and metastasis in vivo

    thcXplained: THC blocks lung cancer cell migration in dishes and blocks tumor growth and spread in animals.

  • THC Reduces Pain in Cancer Patients

    Researchers found that oral THC produced significant pain relief at higher doses.

    THC at 15 and 20 mg provided significantly greater pain relief than placebo.

    Study: Analgesic Effect of Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol

    thcXplained: THC had a pain-relieving effect in patients experiencing cancer pain.

  • THC Reduces Chemotherapy-Related Nausea and Vomiting

    THC has been studied in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.

    Researchers found that oral THC reduced nausea and vomiting.

    Oral THC was significantly better than placebo at reducing vomiting caused by chemotherapy.

  • THC Is Effective in Treating Tics in Tourette Syndrome

    THC has been studied in people with Tourette syndrome.

    In this randomized clinical trial, THC reduced the severity of motor and vocal tics compared with placebo.

    The treatment was generally well tolerated.

    Study: Delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is effective in the treatment of tics in Tourette syndrome: a 6-week randomized trial.

    thcXplained: THC effectively reduced tics in people with Tourette syndrome.

  • THC Opens the Airways in People With Asthma

    Cannabis has been studied in people with asthma.

    Researchers found that smoked cannabis and oral THC helped open the airways and reduced airway resistance compared with placebo.

    The effects lasted for at least two hours.

    Study: Acute Effects of Smoked Marijuana and Oral Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol on Specific Airway Conductance in Asthmatic Subjects

    thcXplained: Smoked cannabis and THC helped open the airways in people with asthma.

  • THC Restores Memory and Movement After Traumatic Brain Injury

    Researchers tested THC after traumatic brain injury in mice.

    THC-treated mice showed significant improvement in working memory and movement.

    THC also increased several factors linked to brain repair and recovery.

    The researchers concluded that THC promoted significant functional recovery after traumatic brain injury.

    Study: Administration of Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol Following Controlled Cortical Impact Restores Hippocampal-Dependent Working Memory and Locomotor Function.

    thcXplained: THC helps restore memory and movement after traumatic brain injury.

  • THC Blocks Inflammation Triggered by Alzheimer’s-Related Amyloid

    Researchers found that THC reduced beta-amyloid levels in human nerve cells, a protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease.

    The study found that THC blocked the inflammatory response triggered by amyloid buildup and was protective against amyloid-related damage.

    These findings suggest THC may act on both amyloid buildup and inflammation in Alzheimer’s-related brain cells.

    Study: Amyloid proteotoxicity initiates an inflammatory response blocked by cannabinoids

    thcXplained: THC blocked the inflammation triggered by toxic amyloid proteins.

  • THC Protects the Heart After a Temporary Loss of Blood Flow

    Researchers tested THC on rat hearts and human heart cells after blood flow was temporarily blocked and then restored.

    They found that “Δ9-THC protected the heart, as evidenced by the improved recovery of cardiac function.”

    The researchers also reported that Δ9-THC “promotes the viability of cardiomyocytes, improves their metabolic activity, decreases cell damage and restores heart mechanical function, serving as a cardioprotective.”

    The findings suggest THC may help protect the heart when given before blood flow is cut off and shortly after blood flow returns.

    Study: Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) Improves Ischemia/Reperfusion Heart Dysfunction and Might Serve as a Cardioprotective Agent in the Future Treatment.

    thcXplained: THC helps the heart recover after a temporary loss of blood flow and may serve as a future heart-protective drug.

  • THC Triggers Cell Death in Human Brain Cancer Cells

    Autophagy is a process cells use to break down and recycle their own components.

    Researchers found that THC triggered autophagy in human glioma cells, leading to cancer-cell death.

    The study also found that this process was important for the antitumor effects seen in animal models.

    Study: Cannabinoid action induces autophagy-mediated cell death through stimulation of ER stress in human glioma cells

    thcXplained: THC triggered a self-destruction process that killed human brain cancer cells.
