    TITLE: Frequent cannabis users wake up with their “stress hormone” already elevated

    URL: sciencedaily.com/releases/2026

    Frequent cannabis users may wake up with unusually high levels of the stress hormone cortisol, suggesting their daily stress rhythms could be disrupted. Researchers say the finding raises questions about whether using cannabis for stress relief might, over time, interfere with the very system that helps the body handle stress.

    TITLE: Stress can scramble your brain’s internal GPS, MRI study finds

    URL: sciencedaily.com/releases/2026

    Stress may literally scramble the brain’s internal GPS. Researchers found that cortisol, a hormone released during stress, made people significantly worse at navigating a virtual environment and disrupted the precise activity of grid cells, specialized brain cells that help us understand where we are in space. When landmarks were missing, this navigation system nearly stopped functioning, while another brain region appeared to step in and compensate.
