Just like the original seed-strain, feminized Early Skunk seeds produce tough, fast, vibrant plants that produce lush harvests of dank, frosted buds in virtually any climate. Feminized Early Skunk seeds bring together the bulk and vigour of Skunk #1 and the resilient hardiness of Early Pearl® (another favorite outdoor variety from Sensi Seeds) in a turbo-charged, all-female…

A top university professor says people should legally be allowed to grow their own cannabis. Drug expert Alex Stevens claims anyone aged over 18 should have the right to cultivate up to six plants each. He made the comments after the release this week of an independent report by the UK Drug Policy Commission. The controversial report says possession of small amounts of controlled drugs should no longer be a criminal offence. It came as figures showed more than 300 cannabis production offences were recorded each week across the country. Professor Stevens, an expert in criminal justice at the University…
A cornerstone of the Dutch coffee-shop industry, the first of the ‘white’ strains and an all-round commercial success story, White Widow is one of the most famous varieties in modern growing.

Tehran, Iran: The administration of synthetic cannabinoid agonists reduce cell viability in human hepacarcinoma cells and may be a potential option for the treatment of liver cancer, according to preclinical data published online in the journal Toxicology Mechanisms and Methods. Investigators from the Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Department of Toxicology and Pharmacology assessed the anti-cancer properties of two synthetic cannabinoids, CB65 (CB2 receptor agonist) and ACEA (CB1 receptor agonist) in human hepacarcinoma cells. Authors reported that the administration of cannabinoids reduced malignant cell viability and cell invasion in a dose-dependent manner. “These data suggest ACEA and CB65 as an…
Natural cannabis-like chemicals in the brain may help combat the leading genetic cause of autism, research has shown. Scientists linked blockages in a signalling pathway dependent on the compounds, called 2-AG endocannabinoid transmitters, with symptoms of Fragile X syndrome. Correcting the fault with drugs led to dramatic behavioural improvements in mice with a version of the condition. Fragile X syndrome is the most common known genetic cause of autism. It results from a mutation in the FMR1 gene on the female X chromosome. Men possess one copy of the chromosome, paired with a male Y chromosome, and women two. Boys…
Marijuana, already shown to reduce pain and nausea in cancer patients, may be promising as a cancer-fighting agent against some of the most aggressive forms of the disease. A growing body of early research shows a compound found in marijuana – one that does not produce the plant’s psychotropic high – seems to have the ability to “turn off” the activity of a gene responsible for metastasis in breast and other types of cancers. Two scientists at San Francisco’s California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute first released data five years ago that showed how this compound – called cannabidiol -…
Imagine there existed a natural, non-toxic substance that halted diabetes, fought cancer, and reduced psychotic tendencies in patients with schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. You don’t have to imagine; such a substance is already here. It’s called cannabidiol (CBD). The only problem with it is that it’s illegal. Cannabidiol is one of dozens of unique, organic compounds in the cannabis plant known as cannabinoids, many of which possess documented, and in some cases, prolific therapeutic properties. Other cannabinoids include cannabinol (CBN), cannabichromene (CBC), cannabigerol (CBG), and tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV). Unlike delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive cannabinoid in marijuana, consuming these plant…
