We've known that cannabinoids can help with a host of different medical conditions for years. Good research has led to the acceptance of cannabidiol (CBD) for the treatment of epilepsy seizures and multiple sclerosis spasticity. But did you know that CBD might be an antibiotic as well?
The first thing we looked at is CBD's ability to kill bacteria," he says. "In every case, CBD had a very similar potency to that of common antibiotics."
The researchers tested the CBD against some strains of staphylococcus, which cause skin infections, and streptococcus, which cause strep throat.
They compared how effective CBD was compared to common antibiotics, such as vancomycin and daptomycin. "We looked at how quickly the CBD killed the bacteria. It's quite fast, within 3 hours, which is pretty good. Vancomycin (Vancocin) kills over 6 to 8 hours."
The CBD also disrupted the biofilm, the layer of ''goop'' around bacteria that makes it more difficult for the antibiotic to pe*****te and kill.
