Over the last several years, consumers of various scientific literature may have read about an antibiotic resistance crisis. When Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin back in the late 1920s, it opened the door to a whole new realm of health care treatment via antibiotics. But now reports in journals like Nature discuss how “we have now reached a crisis where many antibiotics are no longer effective against even the simplest infections.
Even after the bacteria was exposed to CBD more than 20 days—the time frame in which some bacteria can survive against current antibiotics—it did not become treatment-resistant to the non-psychoactive component in cannabis. As Newsweek first reported, the scientists showed CBD as effective against a group of “Gram-positive” bacteria, including the kind that causes conditions like pneumonia and MRSA.
In a preliminary study, the researchers also found CBD effective in treating skin condition and using it in mice studies. Blaskovich said compounds like CBD could perhaps be used as antibiotics, but they haven’t been studied properly yet. The work is in its early stages and Blaskovich urged patients they shouldn’t start fully ditching tried-and-true antibiotics in favor of a fully cannabis-based treatment. Still, this study could pave the way for introducing and fast-tracking cannabis into more clinical settings.
