While over 90% of men reach orgasm during sex, that figure is only around 50% for women. This clearly illustrates a large "orgasm gap" between the two genders, an issue worth addressing. Interestingly, a new study seems to suggest that cannabis could help resolve this situation. Study Details Researchers at East Carolina University conducted a survey to examine the influence of cannabis on sexual functioning and satisfaction. They recruited participants through social media and medical and legal cannabis advocacy groups. The participants, aged 18 to 85, had all used cannabis before the survey. Of these, 78% were white, 64% were...

Cannabinoids are the main chemical compounds that bind to the endocannabinoid system. Although most of the main cannabinoids occur naturally in the cannabis plant, there are also several synthetic cannabinoids that have been created. For cannabinoids to work in this system, they require heat. In fact, heat is one of the essential elements for activating several cannabinoids. However, not all cannabinoids are the same. For some, only a small amount of heat energy is required before the cannabinoid begins to break down or transform into its non-acidic form. This is called the combustion or vaporization point. By analyzing the combustion...

As knowledge about the composition of cannabis increases, there is an increasing emphasis on terpene analysis. These additional compounds can improve flavor, taste, and even affect various medical conditions users may have. However, one of the major concerns regarding terpenes is how to best maintain their concentration in a particular cannabis product. Terpenes can be sensitive to light and heat, and they all have specific burning or boiling points. These are the temperatures at which a particular terpene begins to break down. Being among the most sensitive compounds, it is possible that they dissipate during the different stages of production....

The growing acceptance of cannabis as a therapeutic agent has sparked interest in the plant's bioactive or healing molecules, with cannabinoids and terpenes being the focus of discussion. Therefore, factors influencing a strain's cannabinoid and terpene profile have become of great importance. A recently concluded study found that cannabis is only as good as the growing environment, and therefore potency fluctuates depending on environmental factors. This reinforces the ancestral belief that it is indeed nurture, and not just nature, that determines the characteristics of a living being.. Traditionally, cannabis has been grown outdoors by local communities and historic cultivators. But...
