Introduction: Cannabis contains hundreds of chemical constituents beyond delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), which is thought to be the primary driver of most of its acute pharmacodynamic effects. The entourage effect theory asserts that the pharmacological and therapeutic effects of cannabis are not solely attributable to Δ9-THC but are influenced by other constituents, such as minor...

Cannabis use is highly prevalent in individuals with psychosis, raising concerns about its influence on brain function. Electroencephalography (EEG) studies have identified alterations in brain activity in psychosis, including changes in spectral entropy (SE) modulation and connectivity strength (CS). However, the degree to which cannabis use contributes to these alterations remains unclear....

Mitochondria are central to cellular energy metabolism, contributing to synaptic transmission and plasticity. The mitochondrial membranes present the cannabinoid type-1 receptor (mito-CB1R), which has been functionally linked to neuronal energy supply and cognitive processing. Prenatal exposure to Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (pTHC) has been associated with cognitive impairments associated with...
