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.
The Government even owns a patent on cannabinoids... patients WANT results and when I see things like the 2 I posted in this thread I get PI$$ED. They are saying in at least 2 goobernent websites that it helps diseases but they are looking for the best administration method. What a load of S#IT. Patients suffer because they are searching for the best way. Will they ever find the best way?... why don't we take what we can get until that day comes about. I guess that answer is a little to humane.
