What therapeutic properties do cannabinoids have?
Cannabinoids have been shown to have analgesic, anti-spasmodic, anti-convulsant, anti-tremor, anti-psychotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-emetic and appetite-stimulant properties. Research is ongoing into the neuroprotective and immunomodulatory effects of cannabinoids. To date, GW has primarily focused on the two principal cannabinoids THC and CBD. The different beneficial therapeutic effects of cannabis result from interaction of the different cannabinoids and not simply from one specific cannabinoid. Consequently, GW’s portfolio of pharmaceutical products consists of cannabinoids in different ratios.
