Very Powerful anti-oxidants

Researchers for the National Institute for Mental Health (NIMH), under the guidance

of Dr. Julius Axelrod (a legend in the field of neuro-psychopharmacology),

infused exquisitely delicate preparations of foetal rat-brain neurons with highly corrosive, "oxidative" nerve-toxins like glutamate and peroxide, and bathed them gently in cannabis's two most active cannabinoids, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).

Dr. Axelrod duly reported that the toxicity of the nerve poisons was greatly reduced, thanks to the anti-oxidant properties of THC and CBD.


"We have found that cannabinoids are very powerful anti-oxidants," emphasized Dr. Aidan Hampson, a biologist on the project, for reporters. "In fact they appear to be more powerful than vitamin C or vitamin E."
