Researchers from Indiana University School of Medicine have suggested that scientists should expand and re-contextualise their understanding of the role of cannabis users in heart transplantation. In their findings, published in the journal Circulation: Heart Failure, the researchers recommend a new approach to determining transplant candidacy that considers accepting cannabis users as donors. The researchers have called into question the current policy that does not accept cannabis users as donors for heart transplantation. Lead author Onyedika Ilonze has suggested that current legislation has prevented many patients from receiving life-saving transplants. Cannabis users are being left off the heart transplant waitlist…
The CBD content of cannabis has no effect on the drug’s safety, according to researchers from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King’s College London. The researcher’s findings challenge the widely held belief that higher CBD content in cannabis protects the user from psychotic experiences and memory problems. The research team have urged policymakers to consider their findings when exploring the subject of cannabis for both medicinal and recreational use. The researchers invited 46 healthy volunteers to take part in a randomised and double-blind trial. In the trial, each participant inhaled cannabis vapour containing 10mg of THC with…
In this special report, Fluence delve into the important role of lighting in cultivating cannabis for future cannabis growers. The pro-cannabis laws sweeping across many EU states are already creating a new wave of growers and investors, many who will be competing in the cannabis industry for the first time. Cannabis is a plant with very particular needs, and even the slightest change to a crop’s environment can produce undesired results. Cultivating cannabis is not as easy as growing it indoors alongside your standard perennials, and requires precision to yield high-quality, consistent buds. So then, what does a new wave…
Pure5 Extraction guide us through the solvent extraction process used in the production of medicinal cannabis. In order to understand the production of concentrates, one should understand the principles of the numerous extraction processes, as well as understand post-processing and the standards of making concentrated products.

In this article, we will provide you with information that is usually kept behind the scenes. What is Solvent Extraction? Cannabis oils are extracted from fresh, frozen, dried material and…
Researchers from University College London (UCL) found no difference in the effects of THC and CBD on regular cannabis users of different ages. The observational study examined 24 adolescent participants (16-17 years old) and 24 adult participants (26-29 years old), all of whom were already regular users of cannabis. Over the course of three weeks, the participants inhaled three types of vaporised cannabis under close supervision in a clinical setting. The participants were given either a placebo, a strain of cannabis high in THC, (the main psychoactive component of cannabis) or a high-CBD and high-THC form of cannabis. There were…

The chance to live in France was too good to pass up, and our family adapted quickly to apartment life in the city. Maybe too quickly. When my two young kids started ranking their favorite metro lines, I knew…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways AI does not replace operational knowledge. It requires leaders to understand their business, customers and workflows in greater depth to produce informed outputs. The value of AI in leadership is not automation alone. It is the ability to create visibility across initiatives and coordinate work at scale. AI shifts leadership from sequential task management to directing systems and outcomes, allowing organizations to move faster without sacrificing oversight. Inside our company, I have built what I think of as an AI executive copilot. It is integrated into how I manage the…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Finance automation is delivering on efficiency for most companies, but what it isn’t delivering is control. When automation expands across regions, business units and systems without clear enterprise-level ownership, it amplifies whatever fragmentation already exists. To govern it, you must assign enterprise-level ownership, standardize where it matters most, tie every automation initiative to a capital outcome and build real-time visibility into the system. Right now, core financial processes in your organization — approving payments, matching invoices, forecasting cash — are likely running continuously and largely without human intervention. That’s the…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways AI washing happens when organizations celebrate faster response times, adoption rates and new platforms while the outcomes that actually matter — customer retention, employee experience, better decisions — quietly move in the wrong direction. Before approving any AI initiative, leaders should be able to answer three questions: Will it improve the customer experience? Will it help employees do more meaningful work? Will it help leaders make better decisions? If the answer to all three isn’t yes, the investment is producing activity, not value. Every company wants to be seen as…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways 20 years of research across 600+ Black women professionals shows external visibility has a negative relationship with promotion, while internal visibility and proximity to decision-makers are the strongest predictors of advancement. Strategic presence beats industry profile: send monthly wins to leadership, choose work tied to decisions leaders are actively making and spend more time in front of executives than on panels. I was in my early thirties, one of two Black women in a finance division of 200 staff. I spent an entire weekend preparing for a high-stakes strategic planning…
