Cannabis Shows Positive Results In TBI Cases

by Weedinsf .com Health
TBI (Traumatic brain injury) TBI is one of the leading causes of global deaths including the individuals under the age of 45. “Annually, TBI affects 1.7 million Americans; as it can be triggered by falls, violent sports, gunshot, stab wounds or concussions from car accidents.”

“The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published a groundbreaking report on the neuroprotective properties of cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), two major components of marijuana.” “This report indicated that CBD and THC have particular application as neuroprotectants to limit the neurological damage which is followed by a stroke or trauma.” THC and CBD, these plant cannabinoids mimic the activity of endogenous cannabinoids which is internally produced by all the mammals.



“As per a study it was found that the patients who were tested positive for THC are more likely to survive have less impairment than those TBI patients who refrained from marijuana. It is estimated that about 5 million Americans suffer from one or the other disability because of TBI. “

“The survey shows that many who survive severe head injuries suffer permanent behavioral and neurological impairment that adversely impacts the learning and memory and often requires long term rehabilitation.” The studies say that so-called mild cases of TBI can also result in post-traumatic seizures, refractory cognitive deficits, as well as lowers life expectancy.

“CBD has been linked to reduce brain damage by improving the functional recovery from the stroke and TBI. As per a report published by the British Journal of Pharmacology, CBD is known to normalize the post-ischemic heart arrhythmia.”

This versatile herb is highly active against brain ischemia, altering many of the molecular and cellular hallmarks of TBI.
