Summary: Nitrogen supply affects cannabinoid and terpenoid metabolism, with the optimal N level for both yield quantity and relatively high secondary metabolites content being 160 mg L-1. High N supply has adverse effects on the production of secondary compounds in cannabis, while promoting plant growth and biomass production.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of six different light spectra on cannabis growth and secondary metabolite profiles. Results showed that blue light treatment had a significant effect on THC concentration and certain terpene concentrations, increasing their levels. Choosing the appropriate spectral design based on the specific goals of cannabis production may lead to improved outcomes in cannabinoid production.

Summary: This paper presents the basic information of cannabis and its importance in indoor use. The legalization of cannabis leads to an increase in consumption but also brings the possibility of passive exposure and indoor contamination. The understanding of THC in indoor science is still limited, requiring further research and monitoring.

Summary: The cultivation of light Cannabis with THC content less than 0.6% has been encouraged recently for its industrial and therapeutic potential, leading to increased consumption for smoking and food preparation. However, a study on Cannabis inflorescences found high levels of toxic pesticides and metals that exceeded regulatory limits, posing potential health risks to consumers. Regulatory measures are needed to reduce the adverse effects of contaminants in Cannabis.

Summary: The study aimed to characterize cannabis use patterns and determine the differences in cannabinoid profiles between symptomatic and asymptomatic periods in patients with suspected cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. The majority of participants reported frequent cannabis use, and hazardous use and withdrawal symptoms were common. The study highlights the need for further research on the influence of THC metabolism on symptomatic cyclic vomiting.

Summary: This study compared cannabinoid levels and yields in floral extracts from industrial hemp flowers that were unpollinated and artificially pollinated. The results showed that while pollination did reduce cannabinoid levels in the extracts, particularly cannabidiolic acid and cannabidivarinic acid, it did not eliminate them completely.

Summary: This review summarizes the therapeutic uses of cannabis and CBD oil. The data support the role of cannabis/cannabinoids in pain relief, seizure disorders, appetite stimulation, muscle spasticity, and treatment of nausea/vomiting, but the data for central nervous system disorders and cancer treatment are less compelling.

Summary: Cannabigerol in whole blood may serve as a specific but insensitive biomarker of recent cannabis smoking, according to an observational cohort study. The study found that cannabigerol can be detected in blood after smoking cannabis, especially in daily users, and may be useful in forensic investigations.

Summary: The review discusses the application of cannabis and cannabinoid therapies in patients with migraine, emphasizing the importance of healthcare professionals being knowledgeable about their efficacy and safety data. It also explores the possible mechanisms and common misconceptions associated with the use of cannabis and cannabinoids in headache disorders. Although preliminary studies show evidence for the management of migraine, further research is needed to support their clinical use.

Summary: Nitrogen is an important nutrient in cocoa production, but there is limited knowledge on genotypic variation in nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in clonal cocoa. This study evaluated the effect of nitrogen application on cocoa NUE and found that it affected the growth, nitrogen concentration, and uptake in roots and shoots. However, there were no clonal differences in NUE, while differences were observed in other nutrient use efficiencies.

Summary: Determining the identity and breeding habitats of cacao pollinators is challenging, but crucial for improving crop production. In this study, a combination of methods, including the collection of flower visitors, the use of emergence traps, and DNA barcoding, was used to assess the diversity of dipteran cacao flower visitors and link them to breeding habitats. The study detected a higher diversity of dipteran cacao pollinators than previously assumed and identified specific breeding habitats for five lineages. This approach can be a promising tool for informing management strategies to promote cacao pollination.
