Super Bug could be Cured by Cannabis Compound
Researchers at the McMaster University in Ontario, Canada have found that one of the active chemical compounds that is naturally present in cannabis called cannabigerol (CBG) is highly effective at eliminating Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) which is known as one of the most common bacterial bugs to infect hospitals throughout the world.

Mike Brown who is the lead Microbiologist said - “There is much work to do to explore the potential of the cannabinoids as antibiotics from the safety standpoint but cannabinoids are clearly great drug-like compounds. That’s what makes this new report potentially exciting – evidence that cannabigerol is able to treat a systemic infection in mice.”
