Neuroscientist Richard Sima has written a terrific article for the Washington Post explaining what concussions are–and the serious nature of these mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI).

The first US-based clinical trial on CBD treatment for concussion is being conducted by the University of Miami. The five-year, three-stage study is funded by a $16 million grant from Canadian company Scythian Biosciences. The clinical trial will conduct research on a pill that combines CBD and dexanabiol, which researchers believe will reduce brain inflammation. See also the Miami Herald article.
