Isn’t it funny how Cannabis is bad for you one minute and then they say its good for you?

I find it quite funny how alot of publishers one day post how marijuana is bad for you and then the following week post how it is good for you. These scientists and news publishers have been doing this for a long time and one example that I can remeber is how they say that chocolate is bad for you and then 6 months later publish how certain chemicals in chocolate can prevent heart disease. The same kind of finding from both ends of the spectrum get published about wine.

You never have these fact published consecutively in short periods of time but perhaps six months later when you have forgotten about then previous news to say it is bad for you.

Any way, this is some research publish by the BBC that I wanted to post quite a while back but only got a chance to do it today. You can view the news on the research here, it summarizes how cannabis can help prevent Osteoporosis and even reverse the process through the 1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1) binding with cannabis to cause bone regeneration.

Probably in a few months time we will have the BBC publishing the opposite but we will have to wait and see. One thing is for sure, these kind of finding are great to help legalize the use of medical marijuana across the world.
