CBD Reduces Rates of Diabetes in Mice


This interesting study on mice offered some promising results for how marijuana may potentially be used to treat or even prevent diabetes in humans (which other studies have also shown). The researchers in this study found that non-diabetic mice, when treated with cannabidiol (CBD), were much less likely to develop diabetes than mice which were not treated with CBD. They hypothesized that this was likely due to an immunomodulatory mechanism of CBD which was able to delay and decrease the inflammation.
