Cannabis is 30 times more potent at relieving pain than aspirin.
According to a study published in the journal "Phytochemistry", cannabis molecules can be 30 times more potent at relieving pain than "Aspirin".
The study was conducted by a group of researchers from the University of Guelph in Canada.
According to team members, “there is a need to develop alternatives to opioids for relieving acute and chronic pain.” They also assert that the molecules contained in cannabis are not psychoactive. Furthermore, they possess an ideal analgesic effect because they target inflammation.
The flavonoid molecules cannflavin A and cannflavin B, known since 1985 but understudied due to cannabis restrictions, are responsible for combating pain and reducing inflammation. And with genomic information and biochemical techniques, the genes responsible for producing cannflavin A and B have been identified.
These molecules are found in cannabis but at very low levels.
Now the team is focusing its efforts on developing a biological system capable of creating them in large quantities.
The research team says that being able to offer a new option for pain relief is exciting. And they are proud of their work because it has great potential.
