A new study on cannabis’s beneficial effects on health adds to its long list of benefits. At the beginning of May, a new study was published in the prestigious, specialist scientific journal Nature Medicine, conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Bonn, in Germany, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The clinical trial, carried out on mice, shows that the main psychoactive ingredient of cannabis, cannabinoid delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, may have positive effects on the brain, particularly with the elderly. It appears that THC, administered in low and regular doses, helps in enhancing learning and reverses age-related memory loss.
