Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue on “Innovative Applications and Therapeutic Potential of Cannabinoids” explores the diverse uses of cannabinoids in modern medicine and therapeutics. In recent years, there has been growing interest in cannabis and cannabinoids due to their potential therapeutic benefits. Our knowledge about secondary cannabis metabolites, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and other constituents, is growing. The mechanisms underlying their biological activity involve interactions with the endocannabinoid system and other molecular targets. These interactions influence various physiological processes, such as pain, mood, and inflammation. Continued research is crucial to fully elucidate these mechanisms and optimize the therapeutic use of cannabis.
In this Special Issue, we aim to gather articles that explore the latest advances and emerging trends in the applications of cannabis and cannabinoids. We welcome submissions that focus on a broad range of topics, including innovative therapeutic uses, novel formulations, and targeted delivery systems. Our goal is to highlight cutting-edge research and developments that showcase the therapeutic potential and diverse applications of cannabis and cannabinoids. This Special Issue collates studies and articles highlighting the significant progress made in understanding the pharmacological properties of cannabis and its constituents, their mechanisms of activity, and their potential benefits in treating various medical conditions.
