Puff, Puff, Weight Loss: Can Cannabis Treat Obesity?
Two components in marijuana may help reduce appetite and boost metabolism, researchers at a UK pharmaceutical company say.
Two compounds in cannabis leaves — THCV and cannabidiol — increase the amount of energy the body burns, tests in mice show, and these compounds could be used to treat metabolic syndrome, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. This theory is being tested on 200 patients with metabolic syndrome, and researchers from GW Pharmaceuticals and the University of Buckingham in the UK say they hope to have results of the trials by the end of the year, according to the UK Telegraph. So stay tuned…don’t try anything just yet!
Let me know what you think about this theory....and remember it's still illegal in our State :laugh: LOL!
