Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants
Abstract
Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia. Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention. A particular disclosed class of cannabinoids useful as neuroprotective antioxidants is formula (I) wherein the R group is independently selected from the group consisting of H, CH.sub.3, and COCH.sub.3. ##STR1##

It doesn't seem to matter what disease or medical condition they study in conjunction with cannabis... the plant has usefulness to the human body... I'd say sick or not. Whether by design or by accident, this plant is valuable to mankind and any effort to eradicate it is ignorant, destructive and totally futile.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kay. They have spent millions of dollars trying to just get rid of the ditch weed that grows around states that produced hemp with no success. The plant just wants to grow.
