GlossaryCB1 receptor

protein in the brain that interacts with cannabinoids

The CB1 receptor, also known as the Cannabinoid receptor type 1, is a protein found primarily in the brain and central nervous system. It plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes, including mood, appetite, pain sensation, and memory, by interacting with endocannabinoids and cannabinoids like THC from cannabis.

community Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 1 year ago

Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.
