A new study found the non-psychoactive cannabinoid cannabigerol (CBG) holds potentially valuable antibiotic properties.
IFLScience

  • Scientists at McMaster University in Canada found CBG to be effective against drug-resistant “superbug” infections in mice. It appeared to work as well as a powerful anti-biotic.
  • However, scientists found CBG had toxic effects on the “good” host cells which could complicate its use as an anti-biotic.
