I found this article about cannabis vs MRSA.
In 2008, Italy’s University del Piemarte and Britain’s University of London tested five different cannabinoids on various strains of multi-resistant bacteria (including MRSA). All the compounds showed “potent antibacterial activity.” Cannabinoids were “exceptional at halting the spread of MRSA.”
A second study in 2008 reported non-cannabinoid constituents in the plant also possess antibacterial properties against MRSA and malaria.
Clinical trials are recommended for cannabinoids using cannabis sativa.
THC, CBN, CBD, CBG, CBC—cannabinoid compounds all kill the MRSA bacteria.
Plants are an untapped source of antimicrobial agents.
As of 2007, MRSA was responsible for more than eighteen thousand hospital related deaths each year and increased direct health care costs as much as $9.7 billion. The answer seems pretty straight forward.
Cannabichromene, cannabigerol, and cannabidiol are three of the non-psychoactive cannabinoids. It seems logical to start with these three compounds in our clinical trials (human). No bacteria has developed a resistance to any of them yet. It seems that CBD and CBG show the most promise in the development of :
? Topical antiseptics (salves, ointments, lotions, cremes)
? Whole cannabis lozenges
? Systemic antibacterial agents (whole cannabis extract)(tinctures)
Cannabis sativa is an antibiotic drug. Use whole plant extracts
Best: Sativa hybrid
