""A powerful synthetic version of a cannabinoid called HU-210, which is similar to a group of chemicals found in marijuana, stimulates brain cell growth and may point toward new treatments for anxiety and depression, according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Xia Zhang, an associate professor in the University of Saskatchewan neuropsychiatry research unit, led the team that tested the effects of HU-210. The synthetic version is about 100 times as powerful as THC, the compound responsible for the high experienced by recreational users."This is a very potent cannabinoid oil," Zhang says. "It's not something that would be available on the street."
Learning and Memory
Rats treated with HU-210 on a regular basis showed neurogenesis -- the growth of new brain cells -- in the hippocampus, the researchers found. This region of the brain is associated with learning and memory, as well as anxiety and depression.
The effect is the opposite of alcohol, nicotine, heroin and cocaine.
"Most 'drugs of abuse' suppress neurogenesis," Zhang says. "Only marijuana promotes neurogenesis." Depression may be sparked when too few new brain cells are grown in the hippocampus, scientists believe. It is unclear whether anxiety is part of this process but, if true, HU-210 could offer a treatment for both mood disorders by stimulating the growth of new brain cells. ""
so smoke up and laugh at all the stupid sober people. to think there are some synthetic marijuana treatments that are 300 times as strong as the uber-crop we all hope to have someday.
P.S. i can call sober people stupid,,, i know 1 of them. LOL
