I’ve said this for years:
An apple bud a day keeps the doctor away. Now real doctors (I’m not one, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once) are now agreeing with me:
“Eat a bud a day will keep the stroke away,” former heart surgeon, Dr Dave Allen said. “No other medicine made by man can help in this manner.”
We could always just pray about it. No, wait. That was just for fun. Sorry.
But, seriously, is there anyone that believes that the US would bother pursuing patents for the constituents of cannabis, if it weren’t useful (and obviously profitable)?
From the 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 thetreatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and HIV dementia. …”
