Neurogenic bladder, often associated with spinal cord injuries and MS, affects the bladder's ability to store and empty urine properly. These findings suggest cannabinoids may offer therapeutic potential for individuals who have limited treatment options. However, researchers emphasize that more rigorous clinical trials are needed to establish optimal dosing, long-term safety, and efficacy before widespread medical recommendation.

While adolescent smoking rates have reached historic lows in Ireland, health officials remain concerned about the migration to alternative nicotine delivery systems. This trend highlights the need for updated public health strategies that address vaping alongside traditional tobacco prevention efforts.

Minnesota Cannabis Sales Reach $250 Million in First Year of Adult-Use Market

Minnesota's adult-use cannabis market generated $250 million in sales during its first year of operation, demonstrating significant market growth and consumer demand.
