The Cannabis sativa plant has an incredibly multi-layered, rich, and versatile history of human uses for food and fibre, as well as recreational, and religious and spiritual purposes throughout the world (McPartland and Hegman 2018 ; Aldrich 1997 ; Touw 1981 ; Li 1974 ; Bonini et al. Therapeutic use of Cannibis Sativa L.
Let’s check out two more studies on this topic. Research from 2004 concluded that CBD has a neuroprotective effect on humans, and that this cannabis compound reduces neurotoxicity (a process that is responsible for the faster death of the cells of the brain and nervous system). (

Topical cannabis products can also be useful, but research and data is very limited.
