The researchers in this study used a model of ALS in mice and found that cannabinoids showed incredible neuroprotective effects. They administered a synthetic cannabinoid known as WIN 55,212-2 to the ALS mice. WIN 55,212-2 mimics the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), one of the main components of marijuana. The researchers found that the cannabinoid treated mice showed a significantly delayed disease progression.
Can we once and for all drop the persistent myth that CBD is medicinal and THC is solely recreational?
