Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive constituent of cannabis, has been reported to induce neuroprotective effects in several experimental models of brain injury.

Cannabidiol improved locomotor functional recovery and reduced injury extent, suggesting that it could be useful in the treatment of spinal cord lesions.

    • My comment space is directly across from *Number 3 in the From the Community top ranked posts -- Number 3 is -- Santorum: Americans Should Suffer. How profound.

      No wonder we can't get any help from our government to pursue the possibilities of cannabis to heal our illnesses. They think we should suffer.

      Sad, sad, sad!
