Marijuana: The Antibiotic For the future?

#Bacteria has plagued the world for thousands of years, but there are now more ways than ever before to fight this. #Antibiotics have saved people, and while they’ve been used for a long time, it’s a beneficial idea.

 

Can #Marijuana Help?

 

While some people can use antibiotics, antibiotic resistance, where the body doesn’t respond to it due to consuming too much, is a big problem.

 

There is a chance that it may help, but it’s important to understand that #antibiotics come from fungi, which are naturally occurring, and plants have always been engaging with microbes and bacteria for thousands of years.

 

So what this means is that they’re good at keeping this fully at bay. That, and combined with how plants protect themselves through metabolites can help with this, and it’s a way that these can work as weapons.

 

#Cannabis plants do have a lot of plants in their arsenal, which includes 100 different #cannabinoids, and 200 different terpenes to help.

 

The Antibiotic Potential of #Terpenes and Cannabinoids

While THC and CBD are the two biggest chemicals that are found in marijuana plants, there are other substances that actually do impact the endocannabinoid system as well.

Some research has explored whether or not there are antibacterial responses in these.

 

There were studies that took place back in the 1950s, and usually, they do have some bacterial effects, the lack of knowledge that’s there has prevented people from determining whether these are the constituents that are active as well.

 

Some research was found that there is bacteriostatic and bactericidal actions within #CBD and #THC and the benefits that are seen against bacteria that are gram positive.

Some studies have also discovered that hemp is really good against bacteria.

 

The preparation of these cannabinoids, and terpenes, including #limonene, #pinene, and ocimene as well are a big part of this, and they are able to tackle the microbial activity.

 

This can prove to be a beneficial part of future research in the body.

 

Some studies also discovered that there are different cannabinoids that are in place, and it may be a possibility for new antibiotics too.

 

THC ais one of the main part of cannabis may cause the high, and it may possibly offer some promising results. But for right now, there are studies which are further exploring this in much greater depth, and the findings from a paper back in 2008 discovered that there is a possibility that #cannabis may help with fighting the MRSA effects too.

 

The other Cannabinoids?

 

While THC is a big part of this, let’s also look at the possibility of other cannabinoids that may help with this.

 

First is CBD, which doesn’t produce the high, but instead users feel a lot more clear headed, and it can help with fighting inflammation. There is some potential #benefits that they may be able to fight against antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, and it also may be used to combat urgent threat gram-negative bacteria, including Neisseria gonorrhea.

 

Then there is CBD, which is a form of CBDA, the mother cannabinoid. It’s not #psychotropic as well, and it’s been found that it’s similar to vancomycin, which is a fungal medication that’s used to fight different models of #MRSA #bacterial #strains and others.

 

But there’s’ still a lot that we don’t know about this, so if you’ve been curious about where this will go, right now, the only thing that we can do at the moment is to wait and see what other major cannabinoid discoveries have and the future of these practical kinds of applications for the body too.
