What the Evidence Actually Shows

A rat experiment reported changes in plasma cholesterol and triglycerides after camphene dosing.

What We Do Not Know

No human cannabis study establishes cholesterol, cardiovascular, or metabolic benefits.

Safety and interpretation

A certificate of analysis identifies composition, not a safe or effective dose. Inhalation can irritate airways, and heating terpenes can create degradation products.
