Pharmaceutical products made from marijuana do not cause criticism.

According to Italian and British scientists, marijuana compounds promise resistance to drug-resistant bacteria, including drug-resistant "super strains" (superbug), without causing effects. dynamics change xinxing like pharmaceuticals.

In addition to acting as an anti-infection drug , the above compounds can also become more environmentally friendly alternatives than the synthetic antimicrobial compounds that are commonly used in products. Personal care products, including soap and cosmetics.

In the new study, Giovanni Appendino and colleagues have shown that scientists have known marijuana for years for antibacterial compounds. However, very little research has been done on the antibacterial component of cannabis, among which there are studies investigating its resistance to drug-resistant infections.

Researchers have now tested five key ingredients in marijuana, named the term cannabinoid , with various methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus staphylococcus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)). This staph is a super strain capable of increasing antibiotic resistance.

All 5 tested compounds have bactericidal properties for these resistant strains of staphylococci , just like some synthetic canabinoids. Scientists also found that marijuana compounds can also kill bacteria by various mechanisms compared to conventional antibiotics; that makes them avoid bacterial resistance. At least 2 out of 5 test compounds do not affect xinxing. This means that they can be used to produce pharmaceutical ingredients that are cannabis without causing the user to be "criticized".
