CBD could protect the brain from degeneration and reverse impairments in a number of disorders, according to new research out of Brazil.
TruthOnPot.com – Scientists have identified a role of cannabidiol (CBD) in countering chemical imbalances in the brain, which they say could be useful in treating a number of disorders.
The chemical in question is iron. Despite being an essential nutrient, high levels of iron can damage brain cells and lead to impairments such as memory loss in Alzheimer’s. Abnormal iron levels have also been linked to the progression of Parkinson’s Disease.
Using CBD, researchers from Brazil were able to reverse markers of brain damage caused by high doses of iron in rats – restoring them to normal levels. The results were able to confirm observations from an earlier study, where a single dose of CBD was “able to recover memory in iron-treated rats.”
Writing in the July issue of Molecular Neurobiology, they concluded that CBD has significant potential in restoring brain function and protecting the brain from further damage.
“Our findings support the potential of cannabidiol in reversing cognitive decline and its clinical use in treating neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease.”
Iron has been shown to cause brain degeneration by promoting oxidative stress. On the other hand, CBD – a non-psychoactive chemical found in marijuana – is known to have powerful antioxidant properties, making it “a promising candidate” for treating these disorders, wrote the authors.
The study was conducted at Pontifical Catholic University and funded by the National Institute for Translational Medicine (INCT-TM).

MJNA is a good stock to hold if you are optimistic on the cannabis sector. Its only 16 cents a share now but it will explode once legalization at a federal level happens. Its pretty much inevitable the prohibitionists will lose like they always have.

nah, man. don't think like that. just cut out abusing whatever it is, and that shit won't happen, and you won't have to worry about it, period.
easier said then done, though.
