Summary: People who use both cannabis and tobacco show unique brain chemistry linked to higher anxiety, depression, and difficulty quitting. Brain scans revealed increased levels of FAAH, an enzyme that breaks down the brain’s “bliss molecule,” anandamide. This imbalance means less natural mood regulation and greater vulnerability to stress and relapse. The findings uncover a potential biological target for treating …

Bill Atkinson was a computing pioneer who, in the 1980s, effectively made Apple computers usable for everyday people by transforming code into windows, menus, and graphics. But few people know that later in life he was a secret advocate of what’s widely considered the world’s most potent psychedelic: 5-MeO-DMT. The hallucinogen, also called “the God molecule,” is a compound found …

Scientists from the University of Bath, working together with researchers at the Universities of Oxford and Bristol, have created a molecule that stops a key protein linked to Parkinson’s disease and certain dementias from clumping together. The research team has shown that this molecule works in an animal model of Parkinson’s and believes it could one day form the basis …

Co-authors of the study from the Biological Barriers Research Group of the Institute of Biophysics N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a potent psychoactive molecule present in the brain and much of the world’s plant life, but it also may be able to save humans from damage in the event of a stroke. Scientists in Hungary used it to reduce the harmful effects …
