Several compounds in cannabis are known to kill bacteria. Now Italian scientists believe pot can take on today’s superbugs.
Anti-bacterial cannabinoids might also “provide a more environmentally-friendly alternative to synthetic antibacterial substances now widely used in personal care items, including soaps and cosmetics,” according to an announcement from the American Chemical Society.
The ACS also suggests that marijuana-derived meds can be made without THC, pot’s primary psychoactive substance.
Antibacterial Cannabinoids from Cannabis sativa: A Structure−Activity Study
Marijuana (Cannabis sativa) has long been known to contain antibacterial cannabinoids, whose potential to address antibiotic resistance has not yet been investigated. All five major cannabinoids (cannabidiol (1b), cannabichromene (2), cannabigerol (3b), Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (4b), and cannabinol (5)) showed potent activity against a variety of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains of current clinical relevance.

When I was in the hopital for the infection I had in my leg they couldn't figure out what it was. Interesting to note that upon my release using cannabis oil helped IMMENSELY to clear up the remaining infection. This article confirms what I experienced, and this was only applied topically to the area of redness in my leg from the infection. Cannabis never ceases to amaze me.

Police officers acquitted for beating a 64 yr old man recently in New Orleans. In the words of their defense attorney "all he had to do was comply"....and they wouldn't have fractured his face. |
